Tips to Navigating Thanksgiving Dinner If You Have Diabetes
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Eating a Thanksgiving feast, while still maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, may seem challenging if you have diabetes, but it's doable, experts say.Nearly 40 million Americans deal with this issue every day, and not just for holiday meals. To start: Don’t skip breakfast or try to save your calories and carbohydrates for later in the day. That can just make you hungrier and work against healthy eating later in the day, said experts at the MOLLY Diabetes Education and Management Center for Adults and Children, a part of Hackensack Meridian Health, in Maywood, N.J.Instead, eat a healthy breakfast such as a frittata with lots of vegetables or Greek yogurt with nuts.Here are more recommendations:For the holiday meal, think ahead about which...
HDL 'Good' Cholesterol's Role in Heart Health Under Scrutiny
21 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Blood levels of HDL, the famously "good" kind of cholesterol, may not make a big difference to heart health after all -- particularly for Black people, a large new study suggests.The study, of nearly 24,000 U.S. adults, found that low HDL levels were tied to a somewhat higher risk of heart attack among white people. That was not the case for Black adults, however.Meanwhile, high HDL levels -- traditionally lauded as heart-healthy -- made no difference in heart risks for Black or white adults.Experts said the findings call for a reevaluation of how HDL is used to predict people's risk of developing heart disease. More broadly, they said, researchers need to figure out whether various "traditional" heart disease risk factors have similar effects...
Words Can Wound When Parents Talk to Kids About Obesity
21 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- With U.S. health officials calling childhood obesity a public health crisis, conversations about weight are important. But what you say to your kids can be challenging, and even counterproductive, a new study found."Body weight is a sensitive issue and the way we talk about it matters," said lead author Rebecca Puhl, deputy director of the University of Connecticut Rudd Center for Food Policy and Health."We really want to identify language that adolescents feel more comfortable using in these conversations, that they don't feel stigmatized, that they don't feel blamed or shamed," Puhl noted.To do that, researchers reviewed 2021survey data from more than 2,000 kids ages 10 to 17, along with more than 1,900 parents. Participants were asked about...
AHA News: Feast on Gratitude This Season – It Could Be...
21 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Overindulgence is a Thanksgiving tradition rarely praised by health experts. But when it comes to the reason for the season – gratitude – feel free to serve up as much as you can.That's because research suggests expressing gratitude might be not only a nice thing to do, but a healthy one, too.Gratitude is a simple concept, said Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley. But it has many facets.It can refer to feelings toward another person or a general sense of reverence, such as for God or nature. It's studied as both an inherent trait and a temporary emotion, said Simon-Thomas, who led an extensive initiative on the science and practice of...
There's a Best Time of Day to Exercise for Women's Heart Health
21 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Regular exercise has long been hailed as a great way to preserve heart health, but could a morning workout deliver more benefits than an evening visit to the gym?New research suggests that for women in their 40s and up, the answer appears to be yes.“First of all, I would like to stress that being physically active or doing some sort of exercise is beneficial at any time of day,†noted study author Gali Albalak, a doctoral candidate in the department of internal medicine at Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands.Indeed, most public health guidelines ignore the role of timing altogether, Albalak said, choosing to focus mostly on “exactly how often, for how long and at what intensity we should be active†to gain the most heart...
Flu Has Started Early and With a Punch: CDC
21 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Flu season has struck the United States hard and early, burdening hospitals that are also coping with a surge in other respiratory viruses, including RSV and COVID-19. The nation has seen at least 4.4 million cases of flu so far this season, with 38,000 hospitalizations and 2,100 deaths from flu, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday.While typically flu rates don’t begin to rise until December or January, 27 U.S. states now have high or very high flu levels. The South and Southwest have been hit hardest but the numbers are growing in other regions, especially among those 65 and older and children younger than 5, the Associated Press reported Friday.“It’s so important for people at higher risk to get...
Many U.S. Parents Avoid Vaccine Talks With Child's Doctor
21 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Vaccines have become a hot topic in the past few years, but a new survey finds many parents aren't discussing immunization with their child's doctor. Though a child's pediatrician has often been the go-to resource on vaccines, the University of Michigan Medicine poll found that 1 in 7 parents have not discussed vaccines with their child's doctor during the pandemic. While 80% of parents have talked with their child's pediatrician about immunizations required for school, only 68% have discussed a flu vaccine and only 57% have sought information about a COVID-19 vaccine. "With a new vaccine like COVID, we would expect parents to have a lot of questions and concerns, and we would expect parents to turn to that trusted primary care provider who has...
69 vs. 70: Bias Against Older Organ Donors May Be Costing Lives
21 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The difference between age 69 and age 70 is, of course, just a single year.Yet, organizations that receive organs for transplant patients are less likely to choose one from the older donor, a new study finds.American organ procurement organizations and transplant centers were about 5% less likely to select or accept an organ from 70-year-old donors than from those who died at 69.This is called left-digit bias, which unconsciously places value on the first digit in a number — 7 in 70, for example — and is linked to ageism, according to researchers from the University of Michigan and University of California, San Francisco.While previous research had found this bias in using donor kidneys, researchers wondered if it would happen if other...
