Lifestyle Changes, Supplements, Devices Treat Hypertension
If you suffer from hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend a drug or supplement, along with certain lifestyle changes, to assist you in treating your hypertension. However, with so many treatment options available, many of which are advertized as a new “miracle cure” for hypertension, which are the safest and most effective?
Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center have been conducting ongoing clinical studies in hopes of answering that exact question. To date, they have determined that certain non-drug treatments are indeed effective, while others may provide no benefit or even worsen the condition of your blood pressure levels or other aspects of your health. Additional treatments, currently under evaluation, require more research before their effects can be fully understood.
6 Great Ways to Add Fruits and Veggies to Your Diet
Practically everyone knows that regularly consuming a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables is important for their overall health and well being. however, far too many of us fail to consistently meet the minimum daily requirements set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Regularly consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables, as part of your overall dietary regime, is an outstanding way to ensure that you are providing your body with a wide array of vitamin and minerals.
Not only will regularly consuming fruits and vegetables assist in providing you with the nutrients required to appropriately and efficiently perform a whole host of necessary bodily functions but, they also tend to be low in calories as well.
According to new nutritional guidelines, approximately half of your plate for every meal should consist of vegetables and/or fruits, which can be a tall order for individuals that are accustomed to getting most of their calories in the form of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

After-Dinner Snacks: Is it OK to Eat in the Evening?
For many individuals that regularly exercise, focus on consuming healthy and nutritious whole foods and continually strive to lead an overall healthy lifestyle, the latest and most recent health and fitness news can be quite confusing.
More specifically, like most things in life, there are multiple studies that contradict one another and differing perspectives and opinions on virtually every topic imaginable. One such question, related to nutrition and dietary intake, is “should you consume foods later in the evening when it is close to bedtime?”
Generic dietary advice usually indicates that weight-conscious individuals should stop eating at night, or approximately around 6:00 PM to slightly later if your schedule forces a dinner in the later hours of the evening.
However, a large number of health and fitness seekers find themselves regularly feeling hungry and starved by the time they are ready to go to bed when following this advice, especially if they routinely stay up until 10:30pm, 11:00pm or even later.

Comparing Common Pain Medications
When you are suffering from either a headache, a stiff back or joint pain, or sore muscles you probably reach for the nearest bottle of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin, take a tablet or two according to the instructions on the label, and hope that the pain subsides fairly quickly.
A new study published by the United Kingdom’s Oxford University comparing the effectiveness of common pain medications suggests that, depending on the pain medication chosen, you might not have much to hope for in terms of pain relief. The study found that only around 33% of individuals who take a single dose of acetaminophen (600 mg) or aspirin (1,000 mg) experience what they’d classify as “good relief” from their acute pain. In the context of the study, “good relief” was defined as a perceived 50% reduction in pain that lasted for between 4 and 6 hours.
The British study that was performed aggregated the data of over 350 separate trials comprising a total of 45,000 participants. Nearly 50 different drugs and specific drug combinations were tested for their efficacy in relieving acute pain at various doses.

Aerobic Exercise Can Prevent and Fight Dementia
Dementia is not defined as a specific disease; instead it is a more general term that is used to describe a wide range of symptoms related to a decline in memory or other cognitive skills that become severe enough to limit an individual’s ability to perform everyday activities.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia and accounts for approximately 60 to 80 percent of all cases. Vascular dementia, which typically occurs after a stroke, is the second most frequent type of dementia.
However, there are several other common medical conditions that can lead to symptoms related to dementia, including several types that are reversible, such as thyroid conditions and vitamin deficiencies, to name a few.
In addition, dementia is commonly incorrectly classified as senile dementia or senility, which specifically references the widespread, but invalid, belief that declines in mental capability and cognitive function are a normal part of the aging process.
