Whole Grains & Diabetes Risk

Consuming whole grains daily may help prevent type 2 diabetes, according to a recent study. Researchers analyzed data on 55,465 people between ages 50 and 65, who were free of diabetes at the start and who were followed up for 15 years. They filled out surveys regarding their diets, including how many whole grains and which kinds of whole-grain products they consumed. The study revealed that any type of whole grain seemed to keep type 2 diabetes at bay. And those who ate the most whole grains, at least 50g daily, had the lowest risk. Among that group, the risk reduction was 22% for women and 34% for men.

Treating Gum Disease

A new study suggests that patients with severe gum infections may be able to treat their infections with a combination of low-dose aspirin and omega-3 fatty acid supplements. In the study, all 4 groups got a dental cleaning, but 3 of the groups also received either antibiotics or a treatment combo of low-dose aspirin and 3g of omega-3 supplements, or a combined antibiotic, aspirin and omega-3 treatment. Nearly 58% of those who received any of the three treatment options had about the same improvement in their gum disease, compared to only 23% of the cleaning-only group. This study may present an alternative for people who can’t take antibiotics. Talk with your dental care professional about your options.

Vitamin B12 & Brain Health

As we age, it's harder to absorb the B12 we need from food. A recent study showed that healthy older people who had lower levels of "active" B12 (B12 that can be used by cells in the body) showed signs of neurological and cognitive problems, even though these lower levels fell within the "normal" range. Also, their brain MRI scans revealed higher volume of white matter injury linked to cognitive decline and stroke risk. Researchers suggest lowering the threshold for B12 deficiency and that clinicians should consider recommending supplementation for older patients, even if their blood work is in the acceptable range.

Yoga May Calm IBS Symptoms

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by bloating, recurrent abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. With IBS, there is a problem with how the brain and gut interact. Sometimes stress triggers symptoms. A recent review suggests that yoga may help reduce symptoms. The study revealed that people with IBS who practiced yoga had fewer overall digestive symptoms, and their levels of anxiety and depression were lower, as well. Researchers speculate that yoga, with its slow movements, controlled breathing and mindfulness, may help activate the body's "rest and digest" response, thus lowering stress and helping digestion.

Low-Carb vs. Low-Fat

In a new study, researchers randomly assigned 449 men and pre-menopausal women with excess fat to either a healthy low-carb or healthy low-fat diet. After 12 months, each group had lost about 12 lbs. However, men (but not the women) on the low-carb diet lost a little more visceral (deep belly) fat than those eating the low-fat diet. Researchers don't know if these results would apply to post-menopausal women, who often have more belly fat. The low-carb diet used in the study focused on reducing added sugars, refined grains and processed foods, and emphasized fish, poultry, nuts, non-starchy vegetables and healthy oils.

Tai Chi & Insomnia

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is often the first-line treatment prescribed for chronic insomnia. However, a new study suggests that practicing tai chi may also help. Researchers randomly assigned 200 people age 50 and older with moderate insomnia to either CBT or a tai chi group. Both groups went to their respective interventions twice a week for 1-hour sessions for 3 months. After the 24 sessions finished, the CBT group experienced a greater reduction in insomnia severity (in the short term) than the tai chi group. However, after a year, the follow-up revealed that both groups had a comparable reduction in symptoms.

Benefits Of Bananas

Bananas are packed with fiber, which helps improve digestion and promote better gut health by acting as a prebiotic. They are a rich source of potassium, which helps lower blood pressure because it helps reduce the effects of sodium in the body and relaxes blood vessel walls. Bananas have natural sugar, but they have a low-to-medium glycemic index. They slow digestion and help prevent sharp blood sugar spikes. They supply vitamin B6, which supports the brain and the immune and nervous systems. Bananas aid in post-workout muscle recovery by replenishing depleted glycogen. Their potassium also helps prevent muscle cramps.

Shall We Dance?

According to a landmark study in the New England Journal of Medicine, dancing frequently (more than once a week) was associated with a 76% lower risk of dementia in older adults. Other activities such as walking and swimming were also beneficial for cognitive health; however, dancing had the strongest observed link. Dancing is unique because it combines movement with cognition and sensorimotor demands. It can involve learning and recalling steps, navigating space, synchronizing to rhythm and music, reacting to a partner and making rapid adaptations in real time. This multitasking stimulates many areas of the brain at once.

Warning Signs Of Uterine Cancer

Abnormal vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of uterine cancer and occurs in about 90% of cases. "Abnormal" means unusual for either your age or your normal menstrual cycle. For example, any amount of spotting, bleeding or pink/brown discharge after completing menopause should be evaluated by your medical professional immediately. If you are still menstruating, abnormal bleeding would mean bleeding between cycles, extremely heavy or prolonged bleeding, or spotting after in*******se. Other symptoms may include pelvic pressure or pain, persistent fullness or cramping, pain during s*x, painful urination or unexpected weight loss.

Handling Stress

Certain lifestyle habits can help develop psychological flexibility; this is the ability of the brain to change how it thinks about a stressful situation. This flexibility allows your brain to identify solutions, which then shapes resilience. In a recent study of 400 college students, researchers found that those who ate a healthy breakfast 5 or more times a week, exercised at least 20 minutes a day and slept at least 6 hours a night were better equipped to handle stress. Habits such as frequently eating fast food, sleeping poorly or using ma*****na were associated with less resilience.
