Can You Make Your Baby Smarter Through Breastfeeding?

Although researchers hesitate to say it there is something to be said about the health benefits of breast milk.

The Spanish study found that higher amounts of breast-feeding among all milk consumed during children’s first 14 months was associated with significantly higher mental scores compared to children who breast-fed less. Researchers recruited women during their first trimester of pregnancy, measured fatty acids in their colostrum after childbirth, and assessed mental development of more than 500 children at about 14 months of age.

American Singles are Breaking New Ground

American singles are in a unique position historically.

Single people play a greater role in the community that than their married counterparts, and take care of their parents and other family members in a larger percentage, as well.

Once considered to be “deviant,” “neurotic” and “selfish”, single people are redefining how to live and thrive as healthy contributing members of society.

The demographics of unmarried people are constantly changing, and more Americans are spending a greater percentage of their lives unmarried than married. While some people never marry, other adults now counted as single are simply delaying marriage longer than people of their parents’ generation did.

Diabetes can Double the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease

Diabetes has been linked to complications with eyesight, circulation, heart disease, stroke and neuropathy among others.

Now we can add Alzheimer’s to the list of ailments.

Having diabetes can double the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
