Two major factors to help older women overcome depression.
Less time watching television and more physical activity are the best cures for depression.
The women who exercised the most were about 20 percent less likely to exhibit the signs of depression. However, their risk of depression increased the more hours they spent watching TV each week.
How important is hydration, really?
The information is conflicting and at times, confusing.
Experts weigh in on how much water is enough and from which sources we are getting our necessary fluids.
Don’t underestimate water taken in by consuming fruits and vegetables which are over 90% water.
People eating healthy diets may require less actual glasses of water than others.
Proper kidney function is possible with moderate water intake and not the fluid loading that many of us have been led to believe is necessary.
Water is your body’s principal chemical component and makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.
Losing weight is as easy as zipping your lips!
Just telling others about your plans creates a sense of accomplishment that could derail your ultimate goal of losing weight.
Keeping your plans to diet to yourself also eliminates the conflict with those who might not want to see you succeed.
The advice seems counterintuitive. Weight Watchers and similar groups tout support as a major reason for their programs’ success, and studies have found that accountability is important in accomplishing a goal. But telling family, friends and Facebook about your diet plans could have a detrimental effect, some experts say.
Congress declare pizza a vegetable.
When it comes to school lunches, that is.
The rules, proposed last January, would have cut the amount of potatoes served and would have changed the way schools received credit for serving vegetables by continuing to count tomato paste on a slice of pizza only if more than a quarter-cup of it was used. The rules would have also halved the amount of sodium in school meals over the next 10 years.
But late Monday, lawmakers drafting a House and Senate compromise for the agriculture spending bill blocked the department from using money to carry out any of the proposed rules.
American children don’t have a fighting chance against diabetes and childhood obesity when over 40% of their daily calorie intake comes from school lunch.
Conversations doctors don’t want to have include the end of options for the terminally ill.
Whether it’s lack of training or cultural resistance to discuss death and dying there are huge gaps in patient care at the end of life.
In this country, we tiptoe around the D-word until so late in the game that even now, when more than 40 percent of Americans die under hospice care, about half do so within two weeks of admission. Even expert hospice teams can’t provide many of the elements of a good death — and they believe there is such a thing — in mere days.
We can blame some of this evasiveness on physicians, trained to save lives. But families bear some responsibility, too; they may not seek or seem to welcome a frank assessment. Either way, while many patients do have breakpoint conversations, ignorance often rules.
