Hydration Important for Brain, Not Just Body
The United States is experiencing a major heat wave right now, and hopefully you’re doing your best to stay hydrated – not just for your body, but for your brain as well, according to a new study conducted at the University of East London School of Psychology. Subjects in the study, which was admittedly small, consumed about 24 ounces of water and performed better on several mental tests than subjects who didn’t drink any water immediately before the test. Test scores were even worse for individuals who went into the test feeling thirsty, leading researchers to conclude that mental response time may be slowed by the distraction of thirst. The study results might not be too surprising, however, as water consumption is well-known to have many benefits including calorie control, body fluid maintenance, improved kidney function, and healthy skin.

Fast Food Fish Platter Named America’s Worst Restaurant Meal
Fast food is generally considered to be very unhealthy, but some meals are worse than others. So, what’s the least-healthy restaurant meal in the United States? Although you might expect it to be some enormous triple bacon and cheese combo from one of our many fast food burger joints, it’s actually one that includes a main course typically thought of as healthy: fish. But according to the CSPI, or Center for Science and the Public Interest, the organization that rated the meals, this particular meal is unhealthy not because it includes fish, but because of how the fish is prepared and what comes with it.

Breast Cancer Risk Drops with Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Fish
Chinese researchers recently conducted an extensive, comprehensive review of 26 studies, concluding that the more omega-3 fatty acids from fish that a woman consumes, the lower her risk for breast cancer plummets. The studies involved a total of 880,000 adult women from countries across the world, 20,000 of whom were diagnosed with breast cancer. Overall, the researchers found that women in the studies who consumed the greatest amounts of omega-3s from fish were about 14% less at risk for developing breast cancer than women who consumed the least.

Pepper Lover? Your Parkinson’s Risk May be Lower
If you’re a fan of peppers – whether they’re bell peppers or hot peppers of any variety – you could be reducing your risk of developing Parkinson’s disease without even realizing it, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Washington. In the study, those who ate peppers twice a week reduced their Parkinson’s risk by 30% in comparison to those who consumed peppers less frequently than once per week. The study seems to indicate that people with early Parkinson’s warning signs might want to increase the number of peppers in their diet. The National Parkinson Foundation lists some early warning signs, including loss of smell, suddenly smaller handwriting, trouble moving, constipation, and dizziness or fainting. These symptoms, combined with sleep trouble, slight tremors, or changes in voice, might warrant a visit to a doctor.

Minimizing Diabetes Risk? One Soda Per Day is One Too Many
A recent study indicates that drinking even a single 12-ounce can of soda each day may significantly increase your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The study was conducted as part of InterAct, a large, ongoing investigation into how lifestyle and genetic factors influence Type 2 diabetes risk. InterAct is a collaboration between nine countries, including the U.K., Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Finland, Denmark and Germany.
