Can Red Wine Burn Belly Fat And Help Diabetes?
It has long been thought that drinking red wine, in moderation, is "heart healthy." Now, researchers at the University of Alberta have discovered the powerful antioxidant Resveratrol, found in red wine, may also prevent diabetes by reducing abdominal fat accumulation (i.e., the dreaded "spare tire" or "apple on a stick" body shape). According to an article in the Toronto Sun... "Although this is an early-phase research discovery, if it holds true in humans, there might be a way to prevent ... November 01 2011 at 7:43 pm

Chiropractic: Chiropractic First For Back Pain.
"For patients with low back pain in whom manipulation is not contraindicated, chiropractic almost certainly confers worthwhile, long-term benefits in comparison with hospital outpatient management."

Exercise: High Blood Pressure In Young People?
20% of young American adults may have high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure have a much higher risk of stroke and heart disease, the leading cause of death among adults in the US. It is also a condition that often shows no signs or symptoms, and many otherwise healthy people who have it first find out when a health professional measures their blood pressure. The findings are significant because they indicate many young adults are at risk of developing heart disease, but are unaware ... August 22 2011 at 8:24 pm

Diet: Olive Oil!
Consuming olive oil may help prevent strokes in older people. After considering diet, physical activity, body mass index and other risk factors for stroke, the study found those who regularly used olive oil for both cooking and as a salad dressing had a 41 percent lower risk of stroke. Olive oil has been associated with protective effects against many cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity.

Health Alert: Social Factors And Death.
Social factors can be linked to death as readily as can patho-physiological and behavioral causes. These social factors contribute substantially to the burden of disease in the US: education, poverty, health insurance status, employment status and job stress, social support, racism or discrimination, housing conditions and early childhood stressors. Area-level social factors included area-level poverty, income inequality, deteriorating infrastructure, crime and violence, social capital and availability ... August 22 2011 at 8:23 pm

Wellness/Prevention: Smoking Raises Risk.
Smokers had a higher risk of dying from prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, cancer-recurrence, or from any cause compared to lifetime non-smokers. The longer the patient smoked, the higher his risk of dying from prostate cancer or cardiovascular disease. Men who had given up smoking for ten years had similar prostate cancer mortality risks as lifetime non-smokers. Journal of the American Medical Association, May 2011 August 15 2011 at 11:33 am

Chiropractic: Simple Analogy.
Spinal problems are like a cavity in your tooth: 1. They occur slowly over time. 2. Typically, they are without symptoms for some time. 3. They continue to progress. 4. They don't go away on their own. 5. They eventually cause pain. 6. They can lead to more significant problems. August 15 2011 at 11:33 am

Exercise: Muscle Up.
How important is it to exercise your muscles? The human body has over 600 muscles accounting for 40% of the body's weight. When exercised regularly, muscles are your primary mechanism of maintaining your metabolism, thus burning fat. Maintaining the flexibility of your joints and surrounding soft tissues allows muscles to function at their highest level. Gray's Anatomy August 15 2011 at 11:32 am

Diet: Big Time Snacking.
Snacking continues to increase among Americans, accounting for 25% of daily caloric intake. The average person "snacks" an extra 580 calories each day. Between 2006 and 2008, time spent eating primary meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner - remained consistent at 70 minutes. However, secondary eating doubled from 15 minutes each day in 2006 to nearly 30 minutes in 2008, and secondary drinking jumped nearly 90% from 45-85 minutes. Beverages account for 50% the calories consumed through snacking. Most ... August 15 2011 at 11:32 am

Wellness/Prevention: Bone Up With Blueberries
Compounds in blueberries might have a powerful effect on the formation of strong, healthy bones. Studies with rats suggest polyphenols, the compounds that give blueberries their blue, purple, and red coloration, might aid in building strong bones. Animals fed rations containing 10% freeze-dried blueberry powder had significantly more bone mass than their counterparts whose rations were blueberry-free.

Chiropractic: Safe For Neck Pain?
For the treatment of neck pain, cervical manipulation is much safer than the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - which are often used as the 'conventional' first-line treatment for similar musculoskeletal conditions - by "a factor of several hundred times."

Exercise: Exercise: Kids Not Making Grade!
Only a small percentage of youth meet the objective for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities as outlined in the Healthy People 2020 physical activity guidelines. The data revealed 15.3% of students met the aerobic objective, 51% met the muscle-strengthening objective, and only 12.2% met both objectives.

Diet: Slow Gains?
An average adult gains one pound per year. Small changes in diet, consumption of beverages, physical activity, watching TV, and sleep duration were most strongly linked to long-term weight gain. The idea of "eat less and exercise more" may be too simplistic a weight-loss strategy, as it is the quality of food that matters most and making a handful of small, targeted changes is likely to be most effective.

Health Alert: No Safe Amount!
The blood-alcohol limit may be 0.08% when driving, but no amount of alcohol seems to be safe. This study examined official data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. The researchers used FARS because it is nationally comprehensive, covering all US counties, all days of the week and all times of day, and reports on blood-alcohol content in increments of 0.01. Accidents are 36.6% more severe even when alcohol was barely detectable in a driver's blood. Even with a BAC of 0.01, there are 4.33 ... August 10 2011 at 6:51 pm

Mental Attitude: Cheer Up!
10% of middle-aged Europeans took antidepressants in 2010. The probability of taking an antidepressant is greatest among those middle-aged, female, unemployed, with low levels of education, and divorced or separated. This pattern is consistent with the recent finding across the world that happiness and mental health follow an approximate U-shape through life (mid-life crisis).

Wellness/Prevention: Minutes Of Exercise A Day Can Keep The Pain Away.
As little as 2 minutes of exercise a day can reduce pain and tenderness in adults with neck and shoulder problems. After 10 weeks, the 2-minutes-per-day exercise group experienced significant reductions of neck and should pain (decreased 1.4 points out of 10) and tenderness (decreased 4.2 points out of 32). The 12-minutes-per-day exercise group had slightly larger reductions in pain and tenderness (an extra .5 and .2 points, respectively).

Chiropractic: The Nervous System Connected To The Immune System?
The neurotransmitter norepinephrine is present in sympathetic nerve fibers that innervate lymphoid organs and act on the spleen. Norepinephrine in lymphoid organs plays a significant role in the regulation of the immune system. Stressful conditions lead to altered measures of immune function, and altered susceptibility to a variety of diseases. Many stimuli, which primarily act on the central nervous system, can profoundly alter immune responses. The two routes available to the central nervous system ...

Diet: Weight Management Tips.
1.Fruit. Fruit contains vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. Consumption of fiber is associated with lower body weight and gives a feeling of fullness. 2. Keep hydrated. Feeling tired or hungry? You may just be thirsty. Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. Water helps your body transport nutrients and eliminate toxins. 3. Close the kitchen. When you finish a meal, clean the dishes and turn off the lights. Tell yourself the kitchen is now closed.

Health Alert: Uninsured Unable To Pay Hospital Bills.
50 million Americans are uninsured. Most uninsured people have virtually no savings, half with less than $20 net worth. Half of families with income at 400% of the Federal Poverty Level, or $89,400 a year, have financial assets below $4,100. Every year, 2 million uninsured Americans are hospitalized, with 58% of these hospital stays resulting in bills of more than $10,000.
