Children and Pesticides: Pediatricians Outline the Dangers
The potential health risks of pesticides have been fairly well documented in adults. Some such chemicals can cause skin or eye irritation as well as damage to the body’s endocrine system. Pesticides can also affect the nervous system, as well as being carcinogens. The risks may be even worse for children, however. New guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that parents should limit their children’s exposure to pesticides as much as possible. According to the guidelines released November 26th, 2012, children and pesticides are an especially dangerous combination. The chemicals may be present in the air they breathe, the food they eat and the ground they play on. Limiting their exposure could prevent health problems now and far into the future, according to the researchers behind the new study.

Cause of Obesity? Young Children in Day Care Face Weight Problems Later
According the United States Census Bureau, around 23.5 percent of all children under the age of five in the U.S. attended some sort of organized care facility in the spring of 2011. Unfortunately, children who attend day care are more likely to struggle with weight problems as they approach adolescence, according to a new study on the cause of obesity by the University of Montreal. During the study, children who were enrolled in day care between 1 and 4 years of age increased their risk of being obese or overweight by 65% by the time they reached the age of 4 to 10. Further, children cared for by non-parental family members were also more likely to struggle with weight later on, though not to the same extent as day care children. Children cared for exclusively by their parents prior to age 4 did not exhibit this increased risk.

Muscle Building Study Finds Many Teens Focused on Bodybuilding
A surprisingly large number of teenagers, including both boys and girls, care about building muscle and take various steps toward doing so, according to a new muscle building study by researchers at the University of Minnesota. While many of these muscle building habits are healthy, some of them could actually lead to long-term health problems, according to the researchers. It’s important for parents, doctors, educators and the teens themselves to understand which bodybuilding habits are healthy and which are not. The study, which surveyed approximately 2,800 students from 20 middle schools and high schools around St. Paul and Minneapolis, came to some interesting conclusions about the muscle building habits of teenagers. Approximately 80% of girls and 91% of boys said they exercised longer and/or harder to increase muscle. Making changes to eating habits to support muscle growth was found to be less common but still highly prevalent, with 62% of girls and 68% of boys admitting to doing so. Teens unfortunately reported using riskier methods as well, however.

Dancing Can Alleviate Mild Mental Health Issues in Teen Girls
Dancing at a club or party can provide some unfocused cardiovascular exercise. Even better, other types of dancing can improve flexibility, increase core strength, and help burn calories. For younger people, however, the act of dancing may also have benefits beyond the physical. For example, teenage girls can help alleviate mild mental health issues such as problem internalization just through dancing, according to a new study conducted at the Karolinska Institutet’s Centre for Health Care Sciences in Sweden. In the dance and mental health study, girls reported greater improvements in health after taking dance classes twice a week in comparison to girls who did not engage in dance. The findings suggest that dance is an excellent way to improve not only physical health but mental health as well.

Premature Baby Massage Boosts Immune Strength
Premature babies can sometimes have an underdeveloped immune system, which can subsequently lead to various infections. Unfortunately, premature babies are more susceptible to sepsis, a life-threatening condition in which infection spreads into the bloodstream. Luckily, a premature baby’s immune system can greatly benefit from gentle massage, according to a new study by the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. In the study, premature babies who received massage had more powerful immune cells capable of killing off unwanted pathogens. These same babies tended to gain more weight each day, and had a higher bodyweight at the study’s conclusion regardless of original birth weight. Best of all, researchers found that premature baby massage produced no negative side effects.
