Obesity Increases MS Risk, According to Kaiser Permanente
Teenage girls who are classified as very obese – defined as having a body mass index in excess of 35 – may also have a heightened risk of developing multiple sclerosis, or MS, according to a new study by Kaiser Permanente Southern California Department of Research and Evaluation. In fact, the girls involved in the study were four times more at risk for MS over the course of the study period than girls with a normal BMI. Interestingly, the association between BMI and MS was only detected in girls, not in boys. It should be remembered that MS is not the only risk of childhood obesity. Children that are severely overweight during childhood have a much higher risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes and sleep apnea. Of course, there is also the unfortunate possibility of stigmatization and low self-esteem.

Yoga for Sleep Disorders, Depression Improvements
Depending on the type of yoga performed, it’s often thought to lower the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease. It can also lead to a more flexible body that’s less likely to sustain injury. A new report by researchers at Duke University indicates that engaging in yoga may also help to alleviate certain psychiatric disorders. In order to create their report, researchers looked at 16 existing peer-reviewed studies that sought to identify how performing yoga can influence mental illness. Based on their analysis of these studies’ findings, the researchers determined that yoga can improve depression and sleep problems in individuals even in the absence of medication. Further, they found that yoga can alleviate ADHD and schizophrenia in people who are taking medication to treat these disorders.

Effects of Alcohol on Sleep: Avoid it Before Bed
Some individuals like to enjoy an occasional “night cap” before going to sleep for the night, reasoning that the alcohol will suppress alertness and assist them in falling asleep. While this may be true, the unfortunate reality is that the quality of your slumber will suffer if you fall asleep with a buzz (and especially if you’re flat-out inebriated), according to a new report on the effects of alcohol on sleep. Worse still, you could be more likely to wake during the second half of your sleep, even if you’re sleeping deeply during the first half. The news comes courtesy of the London Sleep Centre, a U.K. research facility. This may come as no surprise to frequent drinkers however. People who regularly imbibe at night know that alcohol-caused sleeplessness is a major contributing factor to hangovers.

Drinking Diet or Regular Soda Could Boost Depression Risk
You might opt for diet soda instead of regular pop to save a few calories, but a new study by the National Institutes of Health indicates that you could be doing your mental health more harm than good in either case. The results suggest that there may be a link between diet soda and depression (and other diet beverages). The study, almost 20 years in the making, included nearly 264,000 adults from various parts of the United States. The study could be very relevant to many Americans, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that around 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. report suffering from depression. People between the age of 45 and 64 seem to be the most likely to have the condition. Other groups that have high depression rates include women, people whose highest education level is lower than high school, and those that have been divorced.

Glucose and Fructose – Which is Better At Satisfying Hunger?
If losing weight is a component (or the entire focus) of your New Year’s resolution, you can greatly improve your chances of success by eating foods that keep you feeling fuller, longer. A new study into glucose and fructose conducted by Yale University School of Medicine suggests that you would be wise to choose glucose sugar over fructose sugar if this is your goal. That’s because glucose does a much better job of sending signals indicating appetite satiation to your brain, subsequently causing you to feel full, according to the researchers behind the study. In comparison, eating fructose sugar does very little to contribute to a sense of fullness. While one of the best strategies for losing weight involves a significant cutback in sugar consumption, the study seems to indicate that glucose is preferable if sweets are going to be ingested.
