Our Sedentary Lifestyles Cost About 5 Million Lives A Year
By Kate Kelland
LONDON (Reuters) - A study of one million people has found that physical inactivity costs the global economy $67.5 billion a year in healthcare and productivity losses, but an hour a day of exercise could eliminate most of that.
Sedentary lifestyles are linked to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes and cancer, researchers found, but activity - such as brisk walking - could counter the higher likelihood of early death linked with sitting for eight or more hours a day.
Such inactivity is estimated to cause more than 5 million deaths a year - almost as many as smoking, which the World Health Organi...

One Hour of Exercise Can Offset Prolonged Sitting
A typical day for many people includes at least 8 hours of sitting - driving to work, sitting in an office, driving home, and watching TV.
An international study of more than 1 million people shows that one hour of moderate physical activity can eliminate the health risks associated with sedentary behavior.
The study forms the first part of a four-paper series published by The Lancet that provides an overview and update of worldwide trends of physical activity and the global impact of physical inactivity.
The first series observing physical activity was released in 2012 ahead of the Summer Olympic Games. The study autho...

WATCH: It's Time To Break The Meat Habit
Last weekend, I rallied at the White House with 100 fellow doctors to share an urgent message with America: Break the meat habit to improve your health.
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE
Why now? Poor diet is the No. 1 cause for disease and death in the country, recently even surpassing smoking. Meat has been strongly linked to America's top killers, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.
Unfortunately, Americans are among the biggest meat-eaters on the planet, consuming a whopping 270.7 pounds of meat per person each year.
Two new studies released this week add further proof that Amer...

From Conference To Clinic: The Longest Yard On Nutrition
The contrast between science and clinical practice can be so stark that it is shocking. I just returned from Washington, D.C. and the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine sponsored by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and the Georgetown University School of Medicine. The first patient I saw in my preventive cardiology clinic after returning from the conference described his 25 year struggle with heart disease including 2 separate bypass operations, numerous stents, and activity severely limited by angina chest pain. He could barely walk to the mailbox without taking a nitro tablet under his ton...

Diabetes Increases Four-Fold Worldwide
GENEVA (AP) — Excessive weight, obesity, aging and population growth drove a nearly four-fold increase in worldwide cases of diabetes over the last quarter-century, affecting 422 million people in 2014, the World Health Organization reported Wednesday.
In a new report on diabetes, the U.N. health agency called for stepped-up measures to reduce risk factors for diabetes and improve treatment and care that has ballooned in recent years alongside an increase in obesity rates. WHO said 8.5 percent of the world population had diabetes two years ago, up from 108 million, or 4.7 percent, in 1980.
On Wednesday, WHO Directo...

Obesity: single house for many evils.
Authors: Kumar A, Nayak BP, Kumar A
Abstract
World Health Organization (WHO) considers obesity as one of the fastest growing metabolic disorders other than diabetes. It is a complex interplay of lifestyle and associated genes. Obesity has been considered as a disease with multiple targets and very often compared in this sense with its sibling disease type 2 diabetes. The disease is pathology of the adipocytes and develops as a result of hypertrophy and hyperplasia of these cells, former being the major concern but its effects could be seen on various organs in the form of cardio-vascular disease, stroke, cancer, di...

Physical activity and exercise as countermeasures to physical frailty and sarcopenia.
Abstract
The identification of cost-effective interventions that improve the health status and prevent disability in old age is one of the most important public health challenges. Regular physical activity is the only intervention that has consistently been shown to improve functional health and energy balance and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, several cancers, depression and falls. In advanced age, physical activity is also effective at mitigating sarcopenia, restoring robustness, and preventing/delaying the development of disability. On the other hand, physical inactivity is reco...

Treating periodontal disease for preventing adverse birth outcomes in pregnant women.
CONCLUSIONS: It is not clear if periodontal treatment during pregnancy has an impact on preterm birth (low-quality evidence). There is low-quality evidence that periodontal treatment may reduce low birth weight (< 2500 g), however, our confidence in the effect estimate is limited. There is insufficient evidence to determine which periodontal treatment is better in preventing adverse obstetric outcomes. Future research should aim to report periodontal outcomes alongside obstetric outcomes.

1706 Autonomous Vehicles: Good or Bad for our Health?
Publication date: June 2017 Source:Journal of Transport & Health, Volume 5, Supplement Author(s): Samuel Schwartz, Karen Lee According to the World Health Organization, the leading causes of death globally are now non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes and chronic lung diseases. NCDs are now responsible for two-thirds of all deaths globally, or 36 million deaths annually. Even in the developing world, heart disease and stroke have overtaken infectious diseases as the leading causes of death. Yet, the vast majority of NCDs are preventable. Physical inactivity, tobacco use, p...

Let Us Talk About Moving: Reframing the Exercise and Physical Activity Discussion
Noncommunicable and chronic disease are interchangeable terms. According to the World Health Organization, “they are of long duration and generally slow progression. The 4 main types of chronic diseases are cardiovascular diseases (ie, heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma), and diabetes.” We have known about the ben efits of physical activity (PA) for thousands of years. Perhaps our approach, from public health messaging to the individual clinical encounter, as to how PA and exercise are discussed and prescribed can be improved upon, ...
