Regular Soda Consumption Boosts Stroke Risk
A couple of months ago, we reported that drinking diet soda on a daily basis may increase the probability of suffering from a heart attack or stroke by as much as 43%. Now, a newly released clinical study is indicating that drinking regular soda on a daily basis may influence stroke risk as well.
In fact, adults that participated in the study who drank at least one regular soda each day increased their risk of having a stroke over a 20-year to 30-year period by 16%.
The medical researchers that performed the study to determine if there was a correlation between soda consumption and stroke risk concluded that regularly substituting non-sugar-sweetened beverages was statistically successful at reducing the probability of suffering from a stroke.

Physical Activity Lowers Alzheimer’s Risk in Older Adults
If you’re an older adult, staying physically active may be an excellent way of reducing your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Aron S. Buchman, a neurological sciences professor and one of the lead researchers behind the study, said that the study indicates that all forms of physical activity, including traditional exercise in addition to activities like cleaning, gardening, doing laundry and cooking, can reduce Alzheimer’s risk in elderly adults.

CDC Study: Women Exercise Less than Men
Women have some catching up to do when it comes to matching the exercise habits of men, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The purpose of the study was to determine how many minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise average men and women participate in each day. The researchers determined that men average about 30 minutes per day, while women fall quite short at just 18 minutes daily.
The researchers said that study participants who received less than 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise each day were more likely to develop metabolic syndrome, defined as symptoms related to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low HDL cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease and obesity.

Air Pollution May Boost Risk of Childhood Obesity
Parents seeking to minimize health risks for their children, including those that have yet to be born, will be interested in the findings of a new study conducted by Columbia University.
According to the study’s findings, the effects of air pollution on unborn children still in the womb are more likely to result in obesity later in life as compared to children born in areas with little to no air pollution.
In particular, the researchers discovered that unborn children exposed to high levels of pollutants called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (or PAHs) were 1.8 times more likely to become obese by age 5 than unborn children exposed to minimal levels of these chemicals. The obesity risk increased to 2.3 times the normal rate by the time the children reached age 7.

Fast Food Sodium Levels Vary by Country
If you’re on a low-sodium diet or if you simply like to monitor your salt intake, you’ll be interested to know that sodium content in fast food products depends largely on where you buy it. No, this isn’t a question of McDonald’s vs. Burger King, but rather one of North America vs. Europe, according to a new study by researchers at Alberta, Canada’s University of Calgary.
The differences are drastic, with the researchers stating that a Chicken McNugget sold in the United States contains about 2.5 times as much sodium as a McNugget sold in the United Kindom, for example.
The trend was similar when comparing other Canadian and American fast food restaurants to their counterparts in France and the United Kingdom.
