If You Eat Any Fruits Or Vegetables At All, You're Doing Better Than Half Of America
If you’re feeling down about how you eat, consider this: if you eat about one cup of fruit and more than 1.5 cups of vegetables a day, you’re actually eating better than about half of all Americans. If you eat 1.5 cups of fruit (the recommended serving size for an adult), you’re doing better than more than three-fourths of Americans. And if you eat two cups of vegetables a day (another recommended serving size), that’s better than almost 90 percent of your neighbors. We say this not to put down our fellow Americans, but to point out that eating more fruits and vegetables is linked to lower rate...

Experience Journal: Growing up with cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability of childhood. The term CP is an umbrella term for a group of disorders that affect body movement and posture as a result of damage to a baby’s developing brain. There are many causes for CP, but all occur either during pregnancy, birth or shortly after birth. Common causes include differences in brain development, infection or stroke. Oxygen deprivation is accountable for only a small percentage of cases of CP; often, the cause is unknown. Although CP is a lifelong condition that can’t be reversed, children with the diagnosis can lead rich, fulfilling lives wit...

Feasibility Survey on Outpatient Management of Hypertension In Algeria
Hypertension (HT) is a prevalent condition, contributing risk factor to heart failure, heart attack and stroke. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is important for improving the diagnosis and management of HT as recommended by the guidelines published by the NICE in the UK in 2011. However there is a lack of data on the follow up of theses guidelines in the Maghreb countries. We aimed in this survey to assess the management of HT and usage of ABPM in daily practices in Algeria.

The Real-Life Ghostbusters of the Brain
This article was originally posted on Inverse.
By Yasmin Tayag
"In a sense, we are absolutely the ghosts we are sensing," Giulio Rognini, Ph.D., a senior scientist at EPFL's Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, says.
Rognini is part of a team of researchers at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne that might be best described as the real-life ghostbusters. The team is attempting to understand what makes our brains want to believe that apparitions are ghosts.
While he's more than willing to admit that ghostly sensations are completely real, he'll be the first to point out that they're not actually ca...

How to Maximize Your Yoga Calorie Burn
By Kristen Domonell for Life by Daily Burn

When considering a yoga class, the benefits of stress relief and stretching probably come to mind, more so than sweating and torching calories. But you can say Namaste to a serious heart-pumping workout with just a few tweaks to your flow. In fact, new research from the American College of Sports Medicine proves that sun salutations can count as your vigorous exercise for the week — as long as you push yourself through some powerful poses and add in a little strength training.
Learn what actually counts as high-intensity exercise and why it's so important to ...

Not All Caregivers' Stories Are The Same, But Their Pain Is
I had a great conversation the other day with a woman who takes care of her 90-year-old mother. Her mom continues to live independently, which is a nice way of saying that her daughter would prefer having her fingernails ripped out than having mom come stay with her. The daughter pays through the nose to have in-home caregivers pretty much around the clock.
Before you rush to judge and marvel at what money can buy, just know that this adult daughter feels the burden of caregiving as acutely as the rest of us. She feels the same sense of loss, the same guilt, the same obligation, the same sometimes-resentment. She too makes...

The Best Instagram Accounts For Runners
There’s just something about running that commands our attention.
Perhaps it’s the way marathoners look when they’re crossing the finishing line or how runners make a challenging sport look so easy. It could also be the promise of the runner’s high, which is the sense of euphoria people feel after logging the first few miles.
Additionally, research shows that running ― even just 10 minutes, five days a week ― can reduce the risk of stroke, arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol and possibly some cancers.
If all of that isn’t convincing enough, we’ve got some visuals f...
