| Losing sleep over your divorce? Your blood pressure could suffer Posted: 17 Jul 2014 03:05 PM PDT It's normal for people to experience trouble sleeping after a divorce, but if sleep problems last too long, they can lead to potentially harmful increases in blood pressure, a new study finds. The research suggests that poor sleep quality might be one of the reasons divorce is linked to negative health effects.  |
| Don't skimp on shades this summer Posted: 17 Jul 2014 11:18 AM PDT Sunscreen and sunglasses top the list of summertime must-haves for most people. But just as skin can burn on an overcast or chilly day, eyes can sustain damage anytime you're outdoors without sunglasses. Larger frames may be the style now, but they are also more effective at protecting the eye, eyelid and surrounding tissues from harmful ultraviolet, or UV, rays.  |
| Exercise, relaxation activities positively impact people with social anxiety disorders Posted: 17 Jul 2014 09:49 AM PDT New research has shed light on how exercise and relaxation activities like yoga can positively impact people with social anxiety disorders. The study found that exercise and relaxation activities literally change the way people perceive the world, altering their perception so that they view the environment in a less threatening, less negative way. For people with mood and anxiety disorders, this is an important breakthrough.  |
| Obese women may have learning deficit specific to food Posted: 17 Jul 2014 09:48 AM PDT Obese women have a deficit in reward-based learning, but only when food is involved. Importantly, say researchers, those same women have no trouble at all forming accurate associations when the reward is money instead of food. The findings may lead to new, gender-appropriate ways to tackle the obesity epidemic.  |
| Eye movements reveal difference between love and lust Posted: 17 Jul 2014 09:45 AM PDT A new study suggests the difference between love and lust might be in the eyes. Specifically, where your date looks at you could indicate whether love or lust is in the cards. The new study found that eye patterns concentrate on a stranger's face if the viewer sees that person as a potential partner in romantic love, but the viewer gazes more at the other person's body if he or she is feeling sexual desire.  |
| Women's professional self-identity impacts on childcare balance, but not men's Posted: 17 Jul 2014 06:48 AM PDT Research shows that a mother's self-identity impacts on the amount of time her partner spends on childcare – with strong professional identity in women creating a more equal childcare balance in a couple. A father's self-identity, however, has no bearing on a mother's time with children.  |
| Danish DNA could be key to happiness Posted: 17 Jul 2014 06:48 AM PDT Genetics could be the key to explaining nation's levels of happiness, according to new research. Economists have found the closer a nation is to the genetic makeup of Denmark, the happier that country is. The research could help to solve the puzzle of why a country like Denmark so regularly tops the world happiness rankings.  |
| Measuring nurture: Study shows how 'good mothering' hardwires infant brain Posted: 17 Jul 2014 06:45 AM PDT By carefully watching nearly a hundred hours of video showing mother rats protecting, warming, and feeding their young pups, and then matching up what they saw to real-time electrical readings from the pups' brains, researchers have found that the mother's presence and social interactions -— her nurturing role -— directly molds the early neural activity and growth of her offsprings' brain.  |
| Asthma drugs suppress children's growth, study suggest Posted: 16 Jul 2014 04:46 PM PDT Corticosteroid drugs that are given by inhalers to children with asthma may suppress their growth, evidence suggests. Two new systematic reviews focus on the effects of inhaled corticosteroid drugs on growth rates. The authors found children's growth slowed in the first year of treatment, although the effects were minimized by using lower doses.  |
| Parents: What you need to know before your teen hits the road Posted: 15 Jul 2014 11:17 AM PDT The facts couldn't be clearer: Car accidents are the number-one cause of accidental deaths in children ages 0-19 nationally. The AAA auto club says the 100 days of summer (from Memorial Day to Labor Day) are the deadliest for teenage drivers and their teen passengers. It's a time when schedules are looser; trips involve friends and fun rather than school and structured activities; and curfews may be less strict.  |
