Obesity Increases MS Risk, According to Kaiser Permanente
Teenage girls who are classified as very obese – defined as having a body mass index in excess of 35 – may also have a heightened risk of developing multiple sclerosis, or MS, according to a new study by Kaiser Permanente Southern California Department of Research and Evaluation. In fact, the girls involved in the study were four times more at risk for MS over the course of the study period than girls with a normal BMI. Interestingly, the association between BMI and MS was only detected in girls, not in boys. It should be remembered that MS is not the only risk of childhood obesity. Children that are severely overweight during childhood have a much higher risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes and sleep apnea. Of course, there is also the unfortunate possibility of stigmatization and low self-esteem.

Yoga for Sleep Disorders, Depression Improvements
Depending on the type of yoga performed, it’s often thought to lower the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease. It can also lead to a more flexible body that’s less likely to sustain injury. A new report by researchers at Duke University indicates that engaging in yoga may also help to alleviate certain psychiatric disorders. In order to create their report, researchers looked at 16 existing peer-reviewed studies that sought to identify how performing yoga can influence mental illness. Based on their analysis of these studies’ findings, the researchers determined that yoga can improve depression and sleep problems in individuals even in the absence of medication. Further, they found that yoga can alleviate ADHD and schizophrenia in people who are taking medication to treat these disorders.

Want to Stop Overeating? Take Smaller Bites
Dieticians offer many different strategies for kicking an overeating habit, many of which are fairly simple. For example, it’s been suggested by the British Journal of Nutrition that people who regularly eat breakfast in the morning eat less throughout the day. Eating a balanced breakfast of at least 250 calories each day could help reduce your ongoing appetite. Preparing breakfast before bed might ensure this for people that have busy mornings. Also, studies have suggested that people tend to overeat when they’re distracted. Luckily, taking tinier bites of food during a meal could offset the effects of distracted eating, according to a new study by researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. If you plan to watch a movie or your favorite reality show while you’re eating dinner tonight, it might be wise to choose a smaller fork if your goal is to stop overeating.

Effects of Alcohol on Sleep: Avoid it Before Bed
Some individuals like to enjoy an occasional “night cap” before going to sleep for the night, reasoning that the alcohol will suppress alertness and assist them in falling asleep. While this may be true, the unfortunate reality is that the quality of your slumber will suffer if you fall asleep with a buzz (and especially if you’re flat-out inebriated), according to a new report on the effects of alcohol on sleep. Worse still, you could be more likely to wake during the second half of your sleep, even if you’re sleeping deeply during the first half. The news comes courtesy of the London Sleep Centre, a U.K. research facility. This may come as no surprise to frequent drinkers however. People who regularly imbibe at night know that alcohol-caused sleeplessness is a major contributing factor to hangovers.

Exercise After Eating Reduces Heart Attack Risk
A new study – albeit a small one – indicates that exercising shortly after eating a meal high in fat could reduce the negative impact that meal has on your cardiovascular system. According to the study, engaging in walking and light strength training approximately one hour after a meal mitigates the elevation of fat cells known as triglycerides in the blood. The researchers found that post-meal exercise does a better job of this than before-meal exercise. People with high triglyceride levels also have a higher heart attack risk. Despite the limits of the study, it may be worth giving the strategy a try. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 600,000 Americans die of a heart attack each year. That amounts to around 25 percent of the annual deaths in the country.
