Health Tips of the Week
- From the British Journal of Sports Medicine people who are physically fit and active catch fewer colds, and the colds they do get are milder.
- Contrary to earlier research, a new, long-term study suggests that cholesterol level in mid-life may not be linked to later development of Alzheimer’s disease according to the American Academy of Neurology.
- Binge-drinking teenagers may be putting themselves at higher risk in adulthood for mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.
- Black raspberries are highly effective in preventing colorectal tumors in two mouse models of the disease, according to a University of Illinois at Chicago study. Because black raspberries not only prevent cancer but also inflammation, they may also protect against other diseases, such as heart disease.
- Early findings from a Saint Louis University researcher suggest curcumin (curry) may protect against liver fibrosis.
- Talking with other people in a friendly way can make it easier to solve common problems, a new University of Michigan study shows. But conversations that are competitive in tone, rather than cooperative, have no cognitive benefits
- As the temperature drops, parents tend to layer their sleeping infants in extra clothing and blankets to keep them warm. But the National Institutes of Health reminds us that this practice, referred to as "overbundling," can lead to overheating and increase the risk for sudden infant death syndrome. Babies can’t regulate their temperatures so well and they can get overheated.
- A new study of nearly 70,000 women found a clear association between abuse in childhood and adolescence and the risk of type 2 diabetes in adult women (American Journal of Preventive Medicine).
- Resistance exercise (such as lifting weights) produces a different pattern of blood vessel responses than aerobic exercise, suggesting that it may have specific and important benefits for cardiovascular health, according to a study in the November issue of The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

Many people go to extremes during Thanksgiving – marathon meals, marathon expenses, marathon get-togethers, marathon family arguments and marathon exhaustion.
This year change the dynamics of the ritual celebration. Thanksgiving can actually be a healthy experience for body, mind and spirit starting the holiday season on the right foot – fewer resolutions to make this New Year. Did you know that socializing has been ranked as beneficial for health on par with exercise?
