Are broken bones, loneliness and poor sleep really hidden killers?
Conclusion As the researchers say, the WHO definition of health encompasses physical, mental and social wellbeing – not just the presence or absence of disease. But how often are these extra dimensions taken into account when assessing a person's health status? In this sample of older adults, just looking at their disease status puts the majority of them into an apparently "robust" health group. Yet when you consider the additional dimensions of psychological health and wellbeing, you seem to get a much better indication of those who were at higher or lower risk of dying or being incapacitated in the coming...

The Oversimplification of Cholesterol Testing Can Be Deadly
Early every year, countless Americans embark on a new fitness regime. They go for a physical and maybe for a blood test to measure cholesterol levels. After a clean bill of health, they might train to run a 10K, a marathon or even an Iron man. But what if those tests do not provide a complete picture of your health? What if you are on the verge of a heart attack and have no idea? Before 30, when the human body is at its peak, it can take the strain of being pushed to the limit. As we age, however, cellular changes and the expression of genetic predispositions can dramatically alter our health. Conventional medical tests a...

Walk Your Way to a Healthier Life. Start On National Walking Day!
You can get active in lots of ways, but walking is one of the easiest steps you can take to improve your health. It's also one of the safest, least expensive and most sustainable forms of exercise. For some time now I have been a passionate supporter of the American Heart Association and of National Walking Day. I ran my first marathon 10 years ago to honor the memory of my recently deceased father. It was a defining moment for me when I crossed the finish line and received my medal. I knew -right then and there- I had the power to fight heart disease by raising awareness in the community and by choosing to live a more act...

Hormone use and stroke
Publication date: Available online 14 March 2016 Source:Apollo Medicine Author(s): Pushpendra Nath Renjen, Dinesh M. Chaudhari, Mahir Meman Strokes are an important cause of disability and death among older women. Because many women use hormone therapy for the control of perimenopausal symptoms and to prevent osteoporosis after menopause, establishing whether such therapy has other health effects is of considerable clinical importance. Overall, 55% of strokes occur in women, and women account for nearly 60% of all stroke-related deaths. Women appear to be protected from heart disease and stroke before menopause. This ...

Achieving the Benefits of a High-Potassium, Paleolithic Diet, Without the Toxicity
The average US dietary intake of K+ is well below the current recommended nutritional requirements. This deficiency is even more striking when comparing our current intake with that of our ancestors, who consumed large amounts of dietary K+. K+ deficiency has been implicated in many diseases including cardiovascular disease, kidney stones, and osteoporosis. Importantly, dietary supplementation of K+ has favorable effects on reducing blood pressure, decreasing the risk of stroke, improving bone health, and reducing the risk of nephrolithiasis.
