Berries Prevent Cognitive Decline in Women
Earlier this month, we reported on a recently published United Kingdom study indicating that regularly consuming berries may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. A more recently published study by clinical researchers at the Harvard Medical School supports these findings, concluding that women who eat blueberries and strawberries may slow their rate of mental decline in later life.
The mental health and cognitive benefits of berries may be due to their flavonoid content, according to the medical researchers. Flavonoids can be defined as phytonutrients in plant-based foods that typically contribute to the color of the actual food. Most flavonoids act as antioxidants. More specifically, they assist in neutralizing overly reactive oxygen containing molecules and prevent them from damaging parts of other healthy cells.

CDC: Nearly One-Third of U.S. Workers are Sleep-Deprived
A newly published report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on sleep deprivation statistics indicates that approximately 30% of working adults in the U.S. receive six or fewer hours of sleep per night. A sufficient amount of sleep can range from seven to nine hours for healthy adults, according to the National Sleep Foundation.
The clinical researchers behind the study said that night-shift employees were most likely to report a lack of sufficient sleep. In addition, approximately 44% of those workers said they sleep for less than six hours each night, while 29% of day-shift workers stated that they average less than six hours of sleep per night. The most sleep-deprived night-shift workers were those that were employed within industries such as social assistance, heath care, warehousing and transportation, to name a few.

Want to Live to 100? Eat a Mediterranean Diet, Study Says
Many of us have heard the saying “you are what you eat” and many us also believe that there is truth in the saying as well. More specifically, the importance of consistently feeding our bodies with high quality whole foods that are high in vitamin and mineral content allows the various processes that are routinely performed by our bodies to operate at their optimum levels and is of vital importance to living a long and prosperous life.
Regularly consuming a “Mediterranean type diet” is one of the best ways to live to the age of 100 and the best diet for long life, according to a new study by Italian researchers. The study examined residents of Sicily who were at least 100 years old and found that most of their diets consisted largely of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. The diets were notably lacking in sweets, simple carbohydrates and red meat.

CDC Study: Cholesterol Levels Dropping in U.S. Adults
Despite the fact that over 35% of the individuals living in the United States are technically considered obese, fewer U.S. adults suffer from high cholesterol today than they did roughly a decade ago, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
When the CDC conducted their American cholesterol levels survey, data gathered between the years of 1999 and 2000 concluded that approximately 18.3% of the United States adult population had high cholesterol.
By the time the study was conducted again in 2009 and 2010, just 13.4% of the United States population suffered from high cholesterol. This represents a 27% decline in high cholesterol prevalence over the course of just 10 years.
Study Reveals Most Dangerous Household Cleaning Products
As most of us are aware, some household cleaners are much safer than others. In fact, even household cleaning products that are advertised as “natural” may contain hazardous chemicals that are dangerous to both human and animal health, according to a newly published study conducted by the Environmental Working Group, or EWG.
The group’s clinical researchers revealed that some of the various chemicals that are included within many of the cleaning products sold in United States retail outlet stores have been banned in foreign countries.
These chemicals could possibly cause health issues ranging from asthma and blindness to cancer and several other potentially life-threatening conditions, said the researchers.
