Excessive Exercise Can Damage Heart
You have probably said to yourself at sometime in the past, “If only I had the time and motivation to exercise for hours every day, my health issues and concerns would disappear – right?”
Wrong, according to a recent excessive exercise effects study conducted by researchers at Kansas City, Missouri’s St. Luke’s Hospital. In fact, cardiologist Dr. James O’Keefe and other researchers behind the study say that extreme forms of cardiovascular exercise can be detrimental to heart health, particularly in certain individuals.
The results of the study serve as unfortunate news for individuals who routinely participate in extreme endurance types sports such as triathlons, marathons and long-distance swimming and cycling races, to name a few.
However, it’s also good news for individuals who only have a moderate amount of time to devote to exercise, and whose primary goal is to improve health and fitness rather than train for competition. In fact, Dr. O’Keefe said that the vast majority of exercise benefits can be realized with less than an hour of exercise each day. “Extreme exercise is not really conducive to great cardiovascular health,” according to Dr. O’Keefe.

Common Pain Medications Reduce Skin Cancer Risk
Regularly taking common pain drugs including ibuprofen and aspirin may lower an individual’s risk of developing skin cancer, according to a recent study based in Denmark.

According to lead aspirin and cancer prevention researcher and epidemiologist Sigrún Jóhannesdóttir of Aarhus University Hospital, the study’s findings shouldn’t be taken as a reason to start using NSAIDs only for skin cancer prevention because they come with possible side effects of their own, including the possibility of internal bleeding and ulcers.

One-Quarter of U.S. Teens are Diabetic or Pre-diabetic
Most of us are aware that living a healthy lifestyle that is filled with regular and consistent physical activity, a high quality nutritional diet that includes routinely consuming whole foods that are high in vitamins and minerals, and ensuring that we receive an adequate amount of rest, relaxation, and sleep are imperative to good health and mental wellness.
However, it is becoming more and more evident that this type of lifestyle needs to be incorporated at a much younger age than most people thought as many of the medical conditions and diseases that appeared to be reserved for the elderly are no longer the case. This being said, cases of cancer, diabetes, a variety of allergies, obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease, just to name a few, are all occurring at younger and younger ages across the United States.
For instance, diabetes in teens is becoming an increasingly severe problem for America, according to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Approximately 9% of teens between the ages of 12 and 19 were diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes in 1999. That figure rose to a staggering 23% by 2008, according to the researchers behind the study.

Pacifiers, Sippy Cups, Bottles Pose Danger to Toddlers
For most parents, we all remember back to the days when our children were toddlers and all of the accidents, and “near misses” that seemed inevitable, but somehow didn’t occur. However, on the other end of the spectrum, seemingly harmless items such as sippy cups, pacifiers and bottles may actually pose a greater danger to their intended users – babies and toddlers – according to a new pacifier choking hazard study recently published by clinical researchers at Columbus, Ohio’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
The researchers examined hospital records to find 45,000 separate cases of children who required emergency medical treatment as a result of using these types of products over the last two decades. All of the children involved in these cases were under the age of 3, according to the researchers.

Winter Babies at Greater Risk for Mental Disorders
On average, roughly 130 million babies are born worldwide each year. However, the exact number of babies born worldwide each year is unknown as several 3rd world countries do not accurately track their numbers. In addition, contributing to that yearly total is approximately 4 million babies that are born in the U.S.
A large study recently published by researchers from the United Kingdom indicates that an individual’s likelihood of developing mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorders, and schizophrenia, to name a few, may be influenced by the season in which they were born. Although past studies tended to only examine groups of a few thousand subjects at a time, and were therefore be subject to a variety of statistical anomalies, the new study is being viewed as more reliable because it focused on over half of the entire population of England.
