Healthy Plant-Based Diets Lower Men's Odds for Colon Cancer
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Are you an older man worried about your risk for colon cancer? Eating whole grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes may improve your odds of dodging the disease, new research shows.“Although previous research has suggested that plant-based diets may play a role in preventing colorectal cancer, the impact of plant foods’ nutritional quality on this association has been unclear," said study co-author Jihye Kim, from Kyung Hee University in South Korea, "Our findings suggest that eating a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.â€Kim noted that colon cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and that a man has a lifetime odds for developing it of one in 23. A woman has a lifetime risk of one in...
Climate Change May Bring More Fungal Lung Infections
28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Fungal lung infections are spreading to parts of the United States where they were once never seen — likely a result of climate change, experts say.To the average person, the term fungal infection may conjure up thoughts of athlete's foot or toenail problems. But some fungus species cause potentially severe respiratory infections, when a person inhales microscopic spores from fungi in the soil.In the United States, the major fungal species behind those illnesses were historically limited to regional "hot spots." But that's no longer the case, according to Dr. George Thompson, a professor and infectious disease specialist at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. Writing in the Nov. 22 Annals of Internal Medicine, Thompson and...
Monkeypox Renamed MPox Amid Racism Concerns
28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Monkeypox still exists, but its name is being phased out over racism concerns.For the next year, the terms monkeypox and the new name mpox will be used interchangeably before the virus is permanently renamed mpox, the World Health Organization announced Monday."Racist and stigmatizing language" arose after the virus spread to more than 100 countries, according to the WHO, which was asked to "to propose a way forward to change the name" by numerous countries and individuals. The virus has been called monkeypox since 1958, when it was first observed in Denmark in research monkeys, even though they are not believed to be the disease's animal reservoir, the Associated Press reported. WHO has previously renamed other diseases, though not after such...

28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Parents whose toddlers use certain Green Sprouts bottles or cups need to discard them immediately because of a risk of lead exposure, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns.When the base of the cups come apart, it exposes a solder dot that contains lead, according to a CPSC news release.“Lead is toxic if ingested by young children, and can cause adverse health effects,†the commission said.A Green Sprouts recall affects about 10,500 cups sold in 6- and 8-ounce sizes with tracking numbers 29218V06985, 35719V06985, and 33020V06985 in the bottom of the base.

A Purpose in Life Might Lengthen Your Life
28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Having a clear purpose in life could reduce your risk for premature death.That's the conclusion of researchers who spent eight years tracking about 13,000 Americans over age 50.Those who considered their life particularly purposeful were found to have about a 15% risk of death from any cause during the tracking period, the new study found. That figure jumped to almost 37% among participants with the lowest level of purpose."[Having] a purpose in life is defined as the extent to which people perceive their lives as having a sense of direction and goals,†said lead author Koichiro Shiba, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health.And a greater sense of purpose was linked to a lower risk of premature...
Berry Good for You: Some Foods Can Strengthen Your Brain
28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Eating more berries and drinking tea may help slow mental decline as you age, new research suggests.In a study of more than 900 adults, researchers found that foods like these -- containing antioxidant flavonols -- delivered brain benefits to older adults. Flavonols are found in fruits like berries, green leafy vegetables, tea and wine.For example, people who ate a serving of leafy green vegetables a day slowed their rate of cognitive decline by about 32%, compared with people who didn't eat any foods with flavonols, said lead researcher Dr. Thomas Holland, an instructor of internal medicine at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago."Flavonols are both anti-inflammatories and antioxidants," he said. "These foods that contain flavonols...

28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Anyone who's ever loved a pet like a member of the family knows that the grief when that dog, cat or other furry friend dies can be devastating. But too often, finding others who truly understand and support that sense of loss can be challenging.Michelle Crossley, a mental health counselor, and Colleen Rolland, a pet loss grief specialist, have each experienced deep bereavement after losing a much-loved pet.They also see value in helping others whose animal friend has died.Together, they’ve written a paper on the issue, published Nov. 25 in Human-Animal Interactions.Rolland is a pet loss grief specialist for the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB) and has a small private practice in Ontario, Canada.

New COVID Variant XBB Is Gaining Ground Among Americans
28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) – U.S. health officials are tracking a new COVID variant that's a combination of two earlier Omicron subvariants.Known as XBB, this latest subvariant now represents 3.1% of new COVID cases throughout the U.S. and 5% of cases in the Northeast. Based on preliminary estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cases of XBB may be doubling every 12 days. However, the variant shouldn't pose the same threat that the emergence of Omicron posed a year ago, CBS News reported."Where we've seen surges, they've seen mostly it be driven by seasonality, people coming inside, spending more time around one another, but not being specifically being driven by the emergence of a new variant," the CDC's Ian Williams told the agency’s...
