Does Turkey Really Make You Sleepy?
With Thanksgiving just one day away, you and your family are probably already deep into preparations for a feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and all the fixings. If you’ll be sitting down to dinner with a big crowd tomorrow, chances are good that you’ll hear at least one mention of how eating too much turkey will make you sleepy, an anecdote you probably recall hearing at countless Thanksgiving feasts in the past. Evidence of this may occur when one or more family members fall asleep after the big meal. People who are about to give an important presentation or perform for an audience are also sometimes told to eat turkey in an effort to calm nerves. But is the notion really true, or have claims of the sleep-inducing effects of turkey been exaggerated over the years?

Over 1 in 10 Children Diagnosed with ADHD
Rates of ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, have risen sharply in children over the past decade, according to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While about 4.4 million children between the ages of 4 and 17 had ADHD in 2003, the figure rose to about 6.4 million children by 2011. Given the population as of 2011, these figures indicate that about 11% of children are diagnosed with ADHD. About 66% of children with the diagnosis receive prescription medication to treat it. Researchers surveyed almost 96,000 parents across the country by phone, asking questions about whether their children were currently diagnosed with ADHD, whether they’d been diagnosed with it previously, and whether they were taking any medication to treat the disorder. Researchers found that about 80% of the children diagnosed with ADHD in the past continued to carry the diagnosis. While children with ADHD are typically thought of as disruptive and in constant motion, it’s important to remember that some children with the condition are very quiet and reserved yet inattentive.

Eating Nuts Extends Life
While most people are aware that big factors such as physical exercise and a healthy diet contribute to a long life, it can sometimes be difficult to keep these big ideas in mind while making small decisions. For example, one might not have longevity in mind when choosing a mid-afternoon snack at the office. Luckily, eating just a handful of nuts every day could extend the length of your life, according to a new study conducted by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Massachusetts. The study was comprehensive, containing health information from over 118,000 individuals, and it found that eating a single ounce of nuts every single day made study study participants about 20% less at risk of death over the course of the 30-year study period – at least in comparison to those who didn’t eat nuts at all.

Does Low Prolactin Cause Sexual Problems for Men?
A healthy sex life is a key element of many relationships. When one person starts experiencing a decreased libido or inability to function sexually, it can cause stress and anxiety for both partners. When both people in a relationship feel that their needs are being met, it can bring a peace of mind that helps contribute to one’s overall well-being. Some male sexual problems may be due to deficient levels of prolactin, a hormone commonly known for stimulating milk production and breast growth in women, according to a recent study. The findings of the study surprised researchers because until now, scientists have believed that high levels of prolactin actually impair sexual functioning in males. Until recently, increasing prolactin levels has been a concern almost exclusively for women who are breastfeeding.

People Underestimate Calories in Fast Food Meals
Despite many fast food restaurants making nutritional information more visible, the majority of fast food eaters believe their meals contain fewer calories than they actually do, according to a recent study by Harvard Medical School. About 3,000 customers ranging from teens to adults to parents of young kids participated in the study, which included restaurants such as Dunkin’ Donuts, KFC, Wendy’s, Subway, Burger King and McDonald’s. Approximately 66% of the participants believed their meals contained fewer calories than they actually did. The average adult participant underestimated the caloric value of their meal by about 175 calories, with parents underestimating their children’s meals by the same amount. Teens were even worse, underestimating their meals by about 259 calories.
