Do You Live in America's Fittest City? Experts Rank Best to Worst
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Want to get fit and stay fit? Arlington, Va., may be the city for you: For the fifth year in a row, it has been named the fittest city in America.Meanwhile, the title of the least fit city goes to Oklahoma City, according to the annual fitness rankings of America's 100 largest cities from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)/Elevance Health Foundation's American Fitness Index.This year, the Index included 34 indicators of personal and community health (think exercise, sleep, chronic disease, parks, playgrounds, bike paths, safe streets and more), with an emphasis on how physical activity affects mental health due to widespread reports that the ongoing pandemic took a toll on mental health."Arlington, Va., was ranked as the fittest...
Friends Want to Hear From You More Than You Think
12 July 2022
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you've ever hesitated to text or email friends you haven't seen in a while, a new study has a reassuring message: They'll probably appreciate it more than you think.In a series of experiments involving nearly 6,000 adults, researchers found that, in general, people underestimated the value of "reaching out" to someone in their social circle they hadn't contacted in a while.Recipients, it turned out, appreciated the small gesture — often just a note to say hi — more than the sender anticipated.Experts said the findings aren't necessarily surprising: It feels good, after all, to know someone is thinking of you and cared enough to check in.But researcher Peggy Liu said it's interesting that the person who is reaching out often...
AHA News: His Heart Stopped While Walking a Trail. A...
12 July 2022
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- A week after Christopher Holton got a clean bill of health from his doctor at his annual physical, he set out for his daily walk on a wooded trail near home.Holton, a 52-year-old former youth football league coach and multiple-mile-a-day walker, meandered along the paved trail in Mechanicsville, Maryland, that's popular with runners and cyclists. Most days he walks with friends. That Saturday last August, his buddies were busy.Holton powered along the path at his usual brisk pace, then started walking back to his car. He'd parked it at a nearby senior center.Bryan Buckley also was out that morning cycling the trail for the first time with his friend Isang Isang. As Buckley pedaled along the path, Isang saw a man up ahead...
Abortion Bans Could Put Lives of Cancer Patients in Jeopardy
12 July 2022
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will limit cancer treatment options for pregnant women and put lives needlessly at risk, America's leading cancer societies warn.About one in every 1,000 women who are pregnant will wind up being diagnosed with cancer, said Lisa Coussens, president of the American Association for Cancer Research. "It's not a trivial number, and rapid and well-informed decisions about care with a cancer diagnosis is critical," Coussens said. "Rapid access to quality care is also absolutely essential and lifesaving."Unfortunately, last month's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is expected to make cancer treatment much more complicated for pregnant women.Many treatments and...
Weed Killer Glyphosate Found in Most Americans' Urine
12 July 2022
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) – More than 80% of Americans have a widely used herbicide lurking in their urine, a new government study suggests.The chemical, known as glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic to humans,†the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has said. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, a well-known weed killer.The U.S. National Nutrition Examination Survey found the herbicide in 1,885 of 2,310 urine samples that were representative of the U.S. population. Nearly a third of the samples came from children ages 6 to 18.“Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the country, yet unto now we had very little data on exposure,†said Alex Temkin, a toxicologist at the Environmental Working Group, in a...
Drinking Alone in Youth a Big Sign for Future Problems
12 July 2022
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Drinking by yourself may have lifelong consequences, especially if the habit begins early in life, a new study suggests.Researchers found that drinking alone during adolescence and young adulthood greatly increases risk for alcohol use disorder later on and the risk for women is especially worrisome.Alcohol abuse causes more than 3 million deaths a year worldwide.“Most young people who drink do it with others in social settings, but a substantial minority of young people are drinking alone," said study author Kasey Creswell, an associate professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh who has studied solo drinking previously. "Solitary drinking is a unique and robust risk factor for future alcohol use disorder.â€Even...
Brad Pitt Believes He Has Rare 'Face Blindness' Disorder -- What Is It?
12 July 2022
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Award-winning actor Brad Pitt believes he suffers from a rare condition that interferes with his ability to recognize people's faces.In a new interview with GQ magazine, Pitt said that he thinks he has prosopagnosia, an extremely rare neurological condition that makes it difficult to tell faces apart."Nobody believes me!" said Pitt, 58, who has not been officially diagnosed. "I wanna meet another [person with it]."Pitt said the condition is why he stays home so much.Folks with the condition can have a difficult time telling family members apart or even recognizing their own faces in group photographs. They also have difficulty recognizing people out of context, such as seeing a work colleague in a grocery store.About 2.5% of babies and young...
Key Players in Keeping Kids Safe From Guns: Pediatricians
12 July 2022
TUESDAY, July 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Pediatricians may become the trusted middle men between gun owners and non-gun owners when it comes to talks about gun safety, a new study shows.University of Pennsylvania researchers found parents were more open to politically sensitive discussions about gun locks and other gun safety measures when a child's doctor was involved. The study offers a possible pathway for reducing the number of firearm injuries and deaths in children across the United States, the researchers said."Parents appreciated a collaborative approach to decision-making and the emphasis on child safety," said study lead author Katelin Hoskins, a postdoctoral researcher in the Penn Center for Mental Health."Our findings add to a growing evidence base that a nonjudgmental,...
