Vitamin D Deficiency Increases Death Risk for Elderly Women
With summer on the not-so-distant horizon, the health and fitness news headlines are sure to be filled with advice regarding vitamin D, the nutrient produced by your body when it’s exposed to the sun. This being said, vitamin D is different than the other essential vitamins since our own bodies are able to manufacture it when it is exposed to sunlight. The primary function of vitamin D is to regulate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in our bones and to assist in promoting cell to cell communication throughout the entire body.
To kick things off a couple of months early, researchers from Austria’s Medical University of Graz have completed a vitamin D deficiency in elderly persons study finding that elderly women can reduce their death risk by ensuring that they maintain sufficient levels of vitamin D.

The Worst Cities in the U.S. for Allergy Sufferers
For many individuals, allergies related to the blossoming of a variety of plant materials during the spring months can be quite miserable. However, if your Spring time allergies are so bad that they possibly influence where spend your vacations or perhaps even where you choose to live, a recent report from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America just may be of interest to you.
The recently published report details the 100 worst United States cities for allergy sufferers, and Knoxville, Tennessee is topping the list for the third consecutive year. In fact, individuals who routinely suffer from severe allergies may be wise to stay away from the southern portion of the Unites States entirely, based on the data provided by the report, as the vast majority of the cities belong to states such as Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Kansas, and Oklahoma, to name a few.

Australian Whooping Cough Epidemic Could Go Global
According to Australian researchers, a new, more powerful strain of whooping cough is rapidly increasing in prevalence, and could possibly have the potential to reach the proportions of a global epidemic if left unchecked.
The researchers said that the new whooping cough strain is the most common strain included in the Australian whooping cough epidemic 2012 (respiratory infection), which has been ongoing for just over four years.
The whooping cough epidemic has been ongoing in Australia since 2008, and the disease has had the biggest impact on children between the ages of 5 and 9. The researchers found this fact especially alarming given that vaccination guidelines and procedures for this age group have not changed since 2004.

An Aspirin a Day Keeps Cancer Away, Studies Show
In the battle against cancer, preventative measures – particularly those that are inexpensive and immediately available – are some of the best tools at our disposal.
Virtually everyone is familiar with the commonly discussed benefits of aspirin, to relieve headaches and cold symptoms, reduce arthritis pain, and to reduce the probability of suffering from a heart attach.
However, a growing body of scientific evidence indicates that aspirin may be beneficial in addressing another medical condition and could be worth adding to the “preventative toolbox” within the anti-cancer arsenal. In fact, new studies suggest that taking a single low-dose aspirin a day for cancer can help to prevent and potentially even treat cancer.

Five Ways to Move More and Sit Less at Work
There’s an old saying that goes something like this: “Why stand when you can sit, and why sit when you can lie down?” From a health and fitness perspective, the opposite of this is true. In fact, a number of sedentary work and health studies have shown that sitting down for extended periods of time during the workday can increase your risk of developing blood clots and a variety of other cardiovascular conditions, as well as your overall risk of dying at a younger age.
Fortunately, even the most dedicated desk-jockeys should be able to get up and move around at work, even if it’s just for a few short minutes. Doing so will not only help you maintain your physical health, but increase the flow of oxygen and blood to your brain, improving your mental clarity and helping you get more done during the work day.
