Unsightly yellow fatty deposits around the eyes and on eyelids might be a sign of cholesterol deposits in the arteries.
Too much cholesterol has been linked to heart attack.
A study published on the BMJ website showed patients with xanthelasmata were 48% more likely to have a heart attack.
Xanthelasmata, which are mostly made up of cholesterol, could be a sign of other fatty build-ups in the body.
Cardiologists said the findings could be used by doctors to help diagnose at-risk patients.
Nighttime leg activity or restless legs during sleep could be more than just annoying, it could be a sign of something more serious.
Men who jerked and flexed their legs involuntarily at night were more likely to develop cardiovascular disease in a new study of sleep and chronic disease in the 65-and-up crowd.
During a one-night sleep assessment, more than two-thirds of men had the involuntary movements, which usually occur in the foot or at the ankle or hip joint, and most of them woke up during the night because of it.
“Manapause” ,if you will, while not quite the female equivalent of menopause is still marked by distinctive physiological changes in men.
Unlike women, men experience hormonal changes gradually over a period of many years. A man’s testosterone level peaks around age 20, and then steadily declines from about 40 on, so ultimately it’s about 50% less by the time he is 80 years old. The result can sometimes be a condition called “andropause,” which potentially affects millions of American men.
The symptoms – irritability, changes in sexual function and erectile quality, low desire – can have a very real impact on a guy’s sex life and his overall relationship.
Feeding New York’s low income families is the mission of Gina Keatley.
Having once been homeless herself she knows the needs of the hungry; hungry for knowledge, hungry for food and hungry for the flavors of healthy nutritious foods.
Educating parents and children is her strategy to break the cycle of hunger.
By giving away fruits and vegetables and demonstrating healthy cooking techniques, Keatley is a huge part of the solution to poor nutrition, obesity and diabetes among the poor.
Meningitis vaccines are now being given to 9 month old babies.
This raises the number of inoculations to over 20 before baby’s first birthday.
For parents concerned about the effect of inoculations this comes as just more bad news.
What has been occurring is a surge among the very young with vaccine injury related deaths, as in SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), various forms of paralysis, disabling seizures, autism spectrum behavior often with extreme bowel disorders, ADHD, asthma, and food allergies. The kids are worse off now than before.
Most of these alarming events have occurred shortly after vaccinations, especially after a barrage of multiple shots in one day, or within the same time frame as a scheduled series.
While there has been no direct link acknowledged by the medical community between childhood vaccines and SIDS, Autism, Seizures or mental defect it has also not been disproven to the satisfaction of many parents.
