Almost two decades of research has not decisively concluded whether or not there is a direct link between cell phone use and certain brain cancers.
Since so many of us use cell phones it is diffucult to conclude a causal relationship between the two, especially given the rarity of some of the cancers.
…Siddhartha Mukherjee, an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University, found that despite years of research by scientists around the world, there has never been a conclusive study linking cellphone use and brain cancer — but no study conclusively ruled it out, either.
Are you being prescribed the wrong medication ?
Getting the wrong medication and medical negligence can be the result of many factors.
Being prescribed the wrong medication altogether, or receiving an improper dosage of the correct medication is only a part of the problem.
That being said consumers should definitely check the labels of prescription bottles before they leave the store.
“In 2006, the Institute of Medicine issued a report citing medication mistakes as the most common medical errors, resulting in an estimated $3.5 billion in added costs for lost wages, productivity and additional health care expenses.”
“In 2008, 1.9 million people became ill or injured from medication side effects or because they took or were given the wrong type or dose of medication, compared with 1.2 million injured in 2004”
Water is necessary to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs.
Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.
A good estimate is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half.
That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink.
For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day.
If you exercise, you should drink another eight ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. I
f you drink alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water.
“Drinking water cooled to 37.4 degrees may lead to a slight increase in calorie expenditure for an hour after you quaff it, a study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism finds. (The cool liquid forces your body to work to maintain its internal temperature.) And a glass before a meal—chilled or not—may curb your appetite slightly, helping cut calories.
And maybe protect your heart. When a National Institutes of Health–funded study tracked 34,000 people for 14 years, it found that men who downed five to six glasses of water a day were nearly 70 percent less likely to die of a heart attack. The correlation wasn’t as strong in women, but “it’s a very intriguing finding.
We are now following 96,000 men and women in another study and will see if the preliminary results hold.”
Sixty used to be old .
Today’s seniors have a much different view of fitness than their parents.
Now baby boomers can look to Goldie Hawn, Diane Sawyer and Harrison Ford for inspiration as they near retirement age.
Senior citizens are having a moment. The U.S. population is getting older — average life expectancy has passed 80 years for women and 75 years for men, and it’s expected to keep rising, thanks to advances in medicine, nutrition, and safety. In fact, about one in seven adults today is older than 80, and the fastest-growing age group is people over 100.
But many of today’s seniors aren’t content to sit still and age quietly. Lately, we’ve seen headlines of amazing elders who have completed marathons, graduated college, raced in NASCAR, and more.
“No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to start living a healthier, more active, more engaging lifestyle,”
