| Celebrity endorsement encourages children to eat junk food Posted: 08 Mar 2013 06:40 AM PST Celebrity endorsement of a food product encourages children to eat more of the endorsed product, new research shows. It also found that children were prompted to eat more of the endorsed product when they saw the celebrity on TV in a different context.  |
| Chewing gum helps you concentrate for longer, study suggests Posted: 08 Mar 2013 06:39 AM PST Chewing gum can help you stay focused for longer on tasks that require continuous monitoring. Previous research has shown that chewing gum can improve concentration in visual memory tasks. This study focused on the potential benefits of chewing gum during an audio memory task.  |
| Genomic screening for improved public health Posted: 07 Mar 2013 09:45 AM PST In 10 years' time, routine preventive health care for adults may include genetic testing. As genomic testing prepares to enter the realm of general medical care, an interdisciplinary team of researchers is suggesting that now is the time to explore genetic testing to identify people at high risk for carefully selected, preventable disease.  |
| 'Healthier hormones' through diet and exercise Posted: 07 Mar 2013 08:06 AM PST Weight loss -- by dietary changes alone or combined with physical exercise -- has a positive impact on the production of adipose tissue hormones: Adipose tissue produces less leptin but, instead, more adiponectin, which counteracts diabetes and cancer. This explains, at a molecular level, the health-promoting effect of physical exercise and dietary changes, according to researchers.  |
| Test-taking may improve learning in people of all ages Posted: 07 Mar 2013 08:03 AM PST Older adults who haven't been in school for a while are as capable of learning from tests as younger adults and college students, according to new research.  |
