Pacifiers, Sippy Cups, Bottles Pose Danger to Toddlers
For most parents, we all remember back to the days when our children were toddlers and all of the accidents, and “near misses” that seemed inevitable, but somehow didn’t occur. However, on the other end of the spectrum, seemingly harmless items such as sippy cups, pacifiers and bottles may actually pose a greater danger to their intended users – babies and toddlers – according to a new pacifier choking hazard study recently published by clinical researchers at Columbus, Ohio’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
The researchers examined hospital records to find 45,000 separate cases of children who required emergency medical treatment as a result of using these types of products over the last two decades. All of the children involved in these cases were under the age of 3, according to the researchers.

Winter Babies at Greater Risk for Mental Disorders
On average, roughly 130 million babies are born worldwide each year. However, the exact number of babies born worldwide each year is unknown as several 3rd world countries do not accurately track their numbers. In addition, contributing to that yearly total is approximately 4 million babies that are born in the U.S.
A large study recently published by researchers from the United Kingdom indicates that an individual’s likelihood of developing mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorders, and schizophrenia, to name a few, may be influenced by the season in which they were born. Although past studies tended to only examine groups of a few thousand subjects at a time, and were therefore be subject to a variety of statistical anomalies, the new study is being viewed as more reliable because it focused on over half of the entire population of England.

Duke Study Predicts 42% Obesity Rate in U.S. by 2030
Although a recently published Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study indicates that obesity rates have leveled off in the United States, a new study suggests that the current pause in increasing obesity may only be temporary.
In fact, clinical researchers from Duke University now believe that obesity rates will rise steadily over the course of the next 20 years, and predict that by 2030 obesity could impact 42% of the United States population.
In order for an individual to be considered obese, they must technically have a body mass index (BMI) value that is in excess of 30. In addition, the body mass index range of values used to define an individual that is considered “overweight” is between 25 and 30.

Frequent Jogging Increases Life Expectancy
If you are looking for a form of cardiovascular exercise that will improve your current health, both physically and mentally, and add years to your life expectancy, jogging may be just what the doctor ordered, according to a new jogging life expectancy study recently published by a group of Danish researchers.
In the study, women who jogged frequently added an average of 5.6 years to their lives, while men fared even better with a life expectancy increase of 6.2 years.
Just how frequent is “frequent jogging?” Regardless of how many sessions it entails, jogging for between 1 and 2.5 hours each week at a slow-to-average pace offers the most significant benefits, according to Dr. Peter Schnohr, cardiologist and researcher for the Copenhagen City Heart Study.

Risk-Avoiders More Likely to Develop Parkinson’s
One would assume that being cautious and avoiding the specific risks associated with contracting Parkinsons disease would decrease the probability of actually suffering from the disease at a later date. However, that’s not the case with Parkinson’s disease, according to a newly published study by the University of South Florida.
In the study, researchers discovered that people who avoid risks and display cautious personality traits are more likely to develop Parkinson’s than those who take risks, such as speeding or riding in a roller coaster.
These specific personality traits may be a predictor of individuals that are at greater risk of contracting Parkinson’s as early as 30 years before the symptoms begin to actually become apparent.
