Want to Keep Your Memory? Keep Your Teeth, Study Says
Good dental health can have benefits that reach well beyond just a person’s teeth. For example, it’s been suggested that good brushing and flossing habits could be reducing your risk of having a stroke. Some research also indicates that gum disease and cavities could serve as predictors of heart disease. According to a new study by European researchers, keeping your teeth may be also be important for keeping a strong and accurate memory. Though the study was relatively small in size at 273 participants, it found that memory score tests are linked with the number of remaining teeth in older adults. All of the participants were at least 55 years of age at the time of the study, which accounted for age in order to eliminate the notion that tooth loss and memory loss are only natural results of aging that occur together synchronously.

Life Expectancy Depends on Race in United States
A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that while life expectancy for African Americans has improved over the last several decades, it still lacks parity with life expectancy for whites in the United States. As of 2010, African Americans lived roughly 3.8 years shorter than whites, on average. The positive news from the CDC indicates that African American men were living an average of 2.7 years longer in 2009 than in 2000. The life expectancy for African American females also increased 2.3 years during the same period. Breaking down the life expectancy data by causes of death, African Americans had higher death rates from diabetes, homicide, cancer, heart disease and infancy conditions.

Hydration Important for Brain, Not Just Body
The United States is experiencing a major heat wave right now, and hopefully you’re doing your best to stay hydrated – not just for your body, but for your brain as well, according to a new study conducted at the University of East London School of Psychology. Subjects in the study, which was admittedly small, consumed about 24 ounces of water and performed better on several mental tests than subjects who didn’t drink any water immediately before the test. Test scores were even worse for individuals who went into the test feeling thirsty, leading researchers to conclude that mental response time may be slowed by the distraction of thirst. The study results might not be too surprising, however, as water consumption is well-known to have many benefits including calorie control, body fluid maintenance, improved kidney function, and healthy skin.

The Danger of Addiction: “Bath Salts” Worse than Meth
According to Drugpolicy.org, nearly 11 million people in the United States have tried meth. Despite the notorious addictiveness of the drug, however, meth could still be up to ten times less addictive than the dangerous group of stimulants known as “bath salts,” according to a new study by researchers at Scripps Research Institute. Drugs sold as bath salts, of course, are not intended to be used in the bath at all, but are rather snorted, smoked or injected in order to create hallucinations and a physical high.

Obesity, Exercise Both on the Rise in U.S.
A recent study of individual counties in the United States finds that, on average, both obesity rates and exercise rates are increasing in the United States. In the study, a sufficient level of exercise was defined as 75 minutes of intense exercise or 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. In the majority of counties, men were found to be getting sufficient weekly exercise more frequently than women, though women made more progress in this area than men over the course of the study period. While researchers can basically only speculate as to why the phenomena would simultaneously occur, it may have something to do with the fact that preventing obesity is fairly easy to do on paper. Making healthy food choices, getting better sleep and getting at least some exercise are all quite simple and can help curb obesity. However, not going far enough will likely do little.
