Low Sodium Diets May Bump Heart Disease Risk, Study Says
For decades, nutritionists and the medical profession have believed that maintaining a low sodium diet is one of the keys to optimal health and fitness. After all, regularly consuming a diet that is low in salt has been clinically proven to lower your blood pressure, which in and of itself reduces your risk of contracting heart disease.
However, a new study published today in the American Journal of Hypertension is suggesting that keeping your salt intake to a minimum could introduce a plethora of other health concerns, including increased levels of hormones, fat and cholesterol in your blood. This, in turn, could boost your overall probability of contracting some form of heart disease. Although additional studies are needed, the initial findings of this study are certainly surprising and interesting for health-conscious consumers.

HealthyWage: Lose Weight and Make Money
Virtually everyone is aware of the health risks associated with being overweight or obese for an extended period of time. For instance, the probability of contracting a debilitating disease, including Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, various forms of cancer, several types of heart disease, stroke, gout, gallbladder disease, are significantly more likely.
In addition, there are several mental and emotional issues that have been associated with overweight and/or obese individuals including depression, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, and even suicide. However, if you are looking to lose excess body weight, would a cash incentive improve your chances of reaching your weight loss goals? According to a 2008 weight loss study, individuals were three times more likely to lose weight if their weight loss results were associated with a financial incentive.

Acetaminophen Makes Asthma Worse, Says Report
There are several different types of active ingredients used in the most common and popular pain relievers including ibuprofen, aspirin, acetaminophen, and naproxen. Whether you are a parent or a pediatrician, odds are good that you have never heard of a clinical medical study linking acetaminophen and asthma. Dr. John McBride, a pediatrician himself, is hoping to change that.
Dr. McBride recently published a report in the medical journal Pediatrics suggesting that acetaminophen makes asthma worse in terms of the related symptoms that both children and adults exhibit, and possibly even create new asthma cases in those who had no previous record or symptoms of the ailment. Acetaminophen is most recognizable under the brand name of Tylenol, however, it is the primary active ingredient in many other pain relievers manufactured from a more generic perspective.

Hydration is Crucial, Even During the Winter
During the summer, many individuals have little trouble staying hydrated as it feels natural to reach for a fresh glass of water every hour or two because you’re thirsty.
During the cooler months of the year, however, many individuals assume that they need less water since they’re not sweating as much and they feel comfortable, not parched, and hence, tend to ignore winter hydration.
Hydration during the winter months is a concern as your body continues to lose water through the various internal bodily functions that it routinely performs, urination, perspiration and breathing. The fact that the late fall and winter months coincide with flu season doesn’t help either, since you lose water at an even faster rate when you’re sick.
Hydration is important year-round, and the absence of thirst does not always indicate that your body is properly hydrated. In order to keep your body fueled with water, it’s good to know how much to drink and how to drink it.

Struggling with Chronic Back Pain? Try Yoga, Study Says
With origins in ancient India, Yoga is one of the most universal types of exercise in the world, however, Yoga did not become popular in the United States until the 1960s. In fact, Yoga is now practiced by millions of men and women in the United States and millions of additional individuals throughout the world.
The first references to yogic principles have been proven to date back as far as the 2nd century B.C. while the oral traditions of Yoga concepts and poses most likely preceded the 2nd century by a couple of thousand additional years, although the precise date of origin is difficult to specifically pinpoint.
Many forms of Yoga are designed to stretch, elongate, and relax the soft tissue of the body. In other words, the various muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the body.
If you suffer from chronic back pain, you’ve probably tried everything from prescription medications, expensive massage, chiropractic services, to a variety of exercise types in search of relief. However, if you have not given Yoga a try, it is well worth considering as, under many circumstances and situations, Yoga is ideal for relaxing, strengthening, and calming a sore back.
