AHA News: New Year, Healthier You? Here's How to Gradually Improve Your Eating Patterns
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Losing weight is a popular New Year's resolution. But people often fail to keep this commitment or quickly gain back the pounds.Instead of jumping on the latest fad diet, experts advise improving the nutritional quality of what goes into your body. A gradual shift to healthier eating is more likely to stick and can reap long-lasting rewards, such as better heart health and a lower risk of dying from heart disease or stroke."Rather than taking things out of your diet, I try to encourage people to think about adding things in that give them better nutrition," said Alexis Newman, a registered dietitian based in Philadelphia. "I stray away from the diet mentality because research shows dieting doesn't work."Newman said she...
Exercise, Sports: A Natural Antidepressant for Teens
6 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An antidote to teenage depression might be found in school gymnasiums and on sports fields, a major new review argues.Supervised exercise programs are associated with significant reductions in symptoms of depression among children and teenagers, according to the analysis of data from 21 studies involving more than 2,400 kids.“This is the first time that we've been able to put enough studies together so that we can make a pretty good conclusion to answer the question, 'Is physical activity and exercise good for children with depressive symptoms?'†said co-study author Walter Thompson, a retired professor of exercise physiology with Georgia State University in Atlanta. “The answer is overwhelmingly yes.â€Further, the data indicate a...
The Naked Ape: Science Unravels How Humans Lost Their...
6 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) – In the mammalian world, there are the hairy, the less hairy and the hairless. But why that is has remained a mystery.Until now.In a new study that compared the DNA of 62 animals, researchers found that while humans appear to have the genes for a full coat of body hair, evolution has disabled that DNA. The same thing has happened in mammals at least nine times, including in the ancestors of rhinos, naked mole rats and dolphins.This first-of-its-kind approach used to ascertain the findings may prove useful in far greater ways in the future, defining genetic regions involved in preventing cancer and longevity, the research team said.“We have taken the creative approach of using biological diversity to learn about our own genetics,†said Nathan...
Could Weight-Loss Surgery in Teens Raise Risks for...
6 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For teens who are obese, weight-loss surgery can be life-changing — but not always in a good way.A new study finds a troubling downside to weight-loss surgery among 13- to 19-year-olds: They're at increased risk of alcohol use disorders. And their risk stays higher for up to eight years after their surgery.“We have to be honest about both the risks and benefits of these procedures,†said study co-author Dr. Thomas Inge, director of adolescent bariatric surgery at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. About 200,000 weight-loss (or "bariatric") surgeries were performed in the United States in 2020, according to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). And while these procedures have benefited many...
Damar Hamlin Improving, Alert, Communicating by Writing
6 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) – While NFL safety Damar Hamlin is still critically ill after suffering cardiac arrest during a game on Monday, he is making a "fairly remarkable recovery," his doctors said during a news conference on Thursday.“There has been substantial improvement in his condition over the past 24 hours,†Dr. Timothy Pritts, a professor in the department of surgery at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, told reporters. “We had significant concern about him after the injury and after the event that happened on the field. But he is making substantial progress. As of this morning, he is beginning to awaken, and it appears that his neurological condition and function is intact.â€Hamlin is “awake and breathing,†though still on a...
3-Dose Malaria Vaccine Shows Promise in African Trial
6 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) – New research has confirmed that a three-dose malaria vaccine is both safe and effective in West African adults, including those previously exposed to malaria.Researchers at the University of Maryland Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD) led work on the Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite (PfSPZ) vaccine.The clinical trial, which included 80 participants, compared three doses of the PfSPZ vaccine against a placebo. Vaccine efficacy — a measure of how many vaccinated people got malaria — was 48% after six months and 46% at an 18-month follow-up.“Our study shows that the vaccine can be given to malaria-experienced adults in a highly endemic area and still provide protection, which is difficult and complicated as these...
Does Your Home Have Dangerous Levels of Cancer-Causing Radon?
6 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People should test for the naturally occurring radioactive gas radon in their homes to help prevent ill health, the American Lung Association urges.In some areas, like the state of Connecticut, radon was found to be present at high levels in a quarter (26%) of all homes.Radon is emitted from the ground and can enter a house through floor cracks, basement walls and foundations.Exposure to radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and it is the leading cause in people who've never smoked. It's responsible for an estimated 21,000 U.S. lung cancer deaths each year, the ALA said.“Since radon is odorless, tasteless and colorless, the only way to detect radon in your home is to test the air,†said Ruth Canovi, director...
Polluted Air Means More Asthma Attacks for Urban Kids
6 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Air pollution may trigger more asthma attacks in urban children and teens, a new study reports.Even moderate levels of ozone and fine airborne particulates — two ingredients of smog — appear to increase kids’ risk of asthma attacks, according to findings published online Jan. 4 in The Lancet Planetary Health journal.“The strong association this study demonstrates between specific air pollutants among children in impoverished urban communities and non-viral asthma attacks further augments the evidence that reducing air pollution would improve human health,†said Dr. Hugh Auchincloss, acting director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).The U.S. National Institutes of Health, of which NIAID is a part,...
