Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems

A Review in The Lancet reveals the importance of healthy lifestyle choices to reduce stressors related to cardiovascular risk factors. Researchers from John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore examined records between 1990 to 2006. They observed how stress affects the sympathetic nervous system, impacts physiology, and the effect it has on the cardiovascular system. Lead author, Daniel Brotman, claims "Acute physical stressors such as sugery, trauma, and intense physical exertion are well known triggers of cardiovascular events. Emotional stressors are increasingly recognized as precipitants of such events." (Read more about Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems)

Insomnia Study

So, what do you do when you can’t fall asleep? Count sheep? Just lay there? Toss and turn and throw the pillow?

Now true, these are all approaches that don’t involve medicine, but they are unfortunately all the wrong things to do!

In fact, they feed the problem of insomnia.

However, the good news is this: there are ways to get a better night’s rest, and not use medicine.

The latest research in the Journal of the American Medical Association in fact compared cognitive behavioral therapy interventions--ways to change the way one mentally approaches insomnia--to medicine like lunesta, the popular sleeping pill. (Read more about Insomnia Study)

Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth

The fattening of America is so out there, so obvious, the question has become how do we get the message that we need to reverse the trend?

Perhaps, the message is sinking in, at least among women.

New research released by the CDC shows, among women, no significant increase in obesity was observed between 1999 and 2004…roughly a third of females remain obese (Read more about Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth)

Work Stress and Metabolic Syndrome

It would make sense at first glance that workplace stress leads to heart disease--no surprise, right?

But the latest research shows chronic stress at work can also leads to diabetes--and that--raises eyebrows.

“Deadlines, they ask you questions all the time, is this done yet, is that done yet,” cries Esteban Chavez.

Do you ever feel like work just wants to make you scream?! (Read more about Work Stress and Metabolic Syndrome)

Health Wrap - Salty Foods; Nuts; Sleep

A person's liking for salty taste may be related to how much they weighed when they were born.

In a paper looking at two month old babies, lighter birth weight infants showed greater acceptance of salt-water solutions than do babies who were heavier at birth.

The authors believe the early appearance of this relationship suggests that developmental events occur while the baby is in the uterus and may have a lasting influence on an individual's preference for salty taste. (Read more about Health Wrap - Salty Foods; Nuts; Sleep)

LONG WORKING HOURS

Do you feel like you work too many hours? Are you fried? Are long working hours leaving you exhausted? Even getting sick from too much time spent at the workplace?

New research says that long working hours can be more harmful than thought.

No question we are a society of people who drive overwork, and make the people we supervise overwork. In fact, one-third of all overtime is mandatory. But in a drive to get more production, are we making our workers and ourselves sick from excessively long working hours? (Read more about LONG WORKING HOURS)

LACK OF SLEEP AND HUNGER

Matthew Tierney participated in a study conducted by the University of Chicago which put sleep deprivation and the effects of sleep deprivation on appetite to the test. (Read more about LACK OF SLEEP AND HUNGER)

SLEEP, ASTHMA, AND ADHD

Are asthma and sleep patterns connected? Can trouble sleeping affect an asthmatic’s condition? Can troubled sleep and asthma-related symptoms cause someone to develop the symptoms of ADHD? Yes, according to new research, which says that lack of sleep can affect symptoms of asthma, as well as increase the likelihood that a person will suffer from ADHD.
