6 Ways to Helping Your Child to a Healthy Weight
TUESDAY, Feb. 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Parents are role models who can teach their kids about healthy food and exercise habits in childhood to help avoid future health problems. “Children who are overweight are more likely to develop diabetes, experience feelings of isolation and struggle with self-esteem,†said Dr. Asma Khan, a pediatrician at OSF HealthCare in Rockland, Ill.Khan offered some tips for giving kids an early start on good health. First, teach them about hunger and fullness cues. It's easy to eat because of boredom or sadness, but important to recognize when you’re hungry or full."Starting healthy habits early is the best way to maintain a healthy weight,†Khan said in an OSF news release.Use child-sized plates to make it easier to gauge how much food your...
AHA News: Understanding the Stroke-Depression Link –...
21 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 21, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- News that one of America's best-known stroke survivors was being treated for depression highlights a common and serious connection between the two afflictions.Last May, Sen. John Fetterman made national headlines after his near-fatal stroke. On Thursday, his staff announced he had checked into a hospital for depression. He'd experienced depression off and on throughout his life, but it had worsened in recent weeks.The prepared statement did not explicitly link his stroke with depression. But depression commonly follows stroke, and it is important for patients, caretakers and physicians to be aware of the connection, said Dr. Ricardo Jorge, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Baylor College of Medicine in...

21 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 21, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Erin Kidwell had worked all day and needed a break.Exercise is her favorite release, so she did a few squats and jumping jacks, then headed out for a run.Instead of being home in Dallas, she was visiting her parents in Midland, Texas. About two-thirds of the way through her route, she started to feel dizzy. Her ears rang and her vision blurred. It was August, so she thought the heat and humidity may have left her dehydrated.She sat on the curb to catch her breath. Then she stood back up.The next thing she remembered was feeling gravel under her body. She heard a vehicle pull up. As she struggled to stand, a man jumped out of a pickup truck and ran to her.It was her father, on his way home from work."Sweetie, are you OK?" he...
Even Mild COVID Might Change Your Brain
21 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People who are experiencing anxiety and depression months after a mild case of COVID-19 may have changes affecting the structure and function of their brains, Brazilian researchers report.“There is still much to learn about long COVID, which includes a wide range of health problems, including anxiety and depression, months after infection,†said Dr. Clarissa Yasuda of the University of Campinas in São Paulo. “Our findings are concerning, as even people with a mild case of COVID-19 are showing changes in their brains months later. More studies are needed to hopefully identify treatments to prevent any long-term effects on people’s quality of life,†she added.To understand this, the researchers studied 254 people who had a mild...
Spinal Cord Stimulation Gives Big Boost to Arm Function After Stroke
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s a brutal reality that confronts many recovering stroke patients: After six months or so of rehab, any arm and hand movement not yet restored is unlikely to return.But new cutting-edge research aims to use electrical stimulation to jumpstart stroke-interrupted communication between the brain and the spinal cord, restoring lost motor control. The technique is already widely used as a treatment for chronic pain.Preliminary testing in patients who have had moderate to severe strokes suggests it can return significant arm and hand function to patients who, in some cases, haven’t had any upper limb control in years.“Most of the time [stroke patients] get physical therapy, improve a little bit, and then remain with permanent deficits which...

20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Running the Monterey Bay Half Marathon, Dr. Steven Lome kept his eyes locked on two runners ahead of him.They were his oldest kids, 16-year-old Jadyn and 14-year-old Ian. Both are on their high school's cross-country team and, Lome said, "both are way faster than me." His goal was to keep them in sight as long as possible.Three miles in, Lome could still see them. Then something else caught his attention. About 30 feet ahead of him, a man collapsed.Lome darted to him. He and two other people trained in CPR took turns doing chest compressions. They did it for about six minutes, waiting for an automated external defibrillator to arrive. A single shock restored a sustainable rhythm.As an ambulance sped the man toward the hospital,...
AHA News: The Connection Between Menopause and Cardiovascular Disease Risks
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Hot flashes and night sweats – they are the hallmark symptoms of menopause.But there's something else happening to women entering their late 40s and early 50s that they can't see or feel and may not even know about: Their cardiovascular disease risks are rising."As women transition through menopause, they experience a lot of changes," said Samar El Khoudary, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Public Health.They produce less estrogen. They accumulate more belly fat. Excess abdominal fat is part of a cluster of symptoms that becomes more common after menopause.

High Blood Pressure: Here's What to Know
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- You're in your doctor's office, and the nurse checks your blood pressure as a matter of course. But your numbers are high, and the doctor steps in with some advice, and possibly a prescription for medications that can lower it.So, now that you have high blood pressure, what is it and what can you do about it?The American Heart Association (AHA) describes blood pressure as the measure of the force pumping blood through the arteries, which carry blood from the heart throughout the body.Measured by two numbers, the top number (the systolic pressure) is the force of the blood when your heart pumps, and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is when your heart is resting and filling with blood.Normal blood pressure can vary from individual to...
