The Psychological Dangers of False Positive Mammograms
A new study conducted by the University of Copenhagen in Denmark indicates that false positive mammograms can inflict lasting psychological damage on women, even when women later find that they actually don’t have breast cancer. In terms of values, calmness and other identifiers of mental well-being, women in the trial who were given a false alarm following a mammogram scored about the same six months after the mammogram as women who indeed had cancer. The researchers say their study is evidence that false positive mammograms are anything but harmless, even when women receive positive news eventually. According to the American Cancer Society, around 232,570 invasive cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States. It is the most common form of cancer in women.

High-Fat Dairy Boosts Death Risk in Breast Cancer Patients
Women with breast cancer can increase their chances of survival by avoiding high-fat dairy foods, according to a recent breast cancer dairy study by researchers at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland, California. About 12% of the women with breast cancer in the study who consumed at least one daily serving of high-fat dairy died over the course of the 12-year study. In comparison, less than 1% of the women who only consumed under half a serving of high-fat dairy daily died from their cancer. The researchers believe that this is due to the high levels of estrogen found in high-fat dairy products. Avoiding dairy might be a worthwhile strategy, as the American Cancer Society predicts that 40,000 women will die because of their breast cancer in 2014. Over 200,000 women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis next years as well.

Lack of Sleep? You May be Eating Too Much to Compensate
Just a few days ago, we talked about how engaging in exercise allows for higher quality sleep at night. Many studies have shown a relationship between physical fitness and sleep, such as that women are more likely to meet their weight loss goals if they get at least seven hours of sleep each night. Now, a new causes of overeating study indicates that getting too little sleep at night could cause you to overeat the next day. Although some additional calories are necessary to compensate for the lack of sleep, the study found that people tend to overcompensate and take in too many calories as a result. While the study seemed to only concentrate on calories, it should be noted that other qualities of food may have played a role in participants’ weight gain. Late-night snacks, for example, sometimes consist of high-fat processed foods, junk food or candy.

Obese Moms at Greater Risk for Heart Attack After Giving Birth
If you’re pregnant or if you plan on becoming pregnant, it may be wise to achieve a healthier body weight. According to a new study conducted by the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, obese mothers are more likely to have a stroke or heart attack during labor. Specifically, the study found that four or five years after childbirth, obese moms have double the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke in comparison to mothers of a normal body weight. All of the women involved in the study were approximately 30 years old. The researchers were careful to account for factors such as pregnancy complications and smoking habits when coming to their conclusions. According to a professor from the University of Southern California, around 1 in every 16,000 pregnant women will suffer from a heart attack during the actual pregnancy term.

Exercise Results in Better Sleep
A new poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation finds that those who exercise get better sleep than those who never exercise. The effects were detected even for individuals who engage in a very limited amount of exercise. Overall, about 56% to 67% of people who said they engaged in any level of exercise reported that exercise improves sleep on virtually every weeknight. In comparison, only 39% of those who never exercised reported the same. People who reported exercising also reported fewer sleep problems than couch potatoes. An alarming 24% of those who never exercise said they have a hard time falling asleep nearly every night of the week. The same was true of only 8% of those who reported frequent, vigorous exercise. So how much exercise is needed to improve your sleep?
