HIGH INTAKE OF VITAMIN D REDUCES RISK OF DISABILITY FOR SENIORS – a Dutch study found that among people over 65, those with low blood levels of vitamin D were three times more likely to end up in a nursing home than those with high levels.  Not only does this vitamin help keep bones strong, it also helps prevent falls in older people by maintaining muscle strength, especially in the lower legs, and has been linked to other health benefits.  The government ...]]></description>

EXERCISE TO SAVE YOUR EYES – people who exercise regularly have a lower risk of developing cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to research from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.  The key seems to be vigorous exercise.  Two studies followed thousands of runners over several years and found that people who ran about 2.5 miles a day or more reduced their risk for both conditions the most – for AMD, risk dropped by more than 50 percent.  Experts think strenuous exercise may ...]]></description>

KEEPING THE POUNDS OFF – if you have been successful at losing weight and want to keep the results permanently, exercise for about an hour most days of the week.  This advice was recently confirmed by a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, which involved sedentary overweight or obese test subjects who went on a calorie-restricted diet and followed various exercise regimens.  Those who burned about 1,800 calories a week in physical activity were most likely to maintain a 10 percent ...]]></description>

REALLY BAD ALLERGIES? – nasal irrigation may be the best way to clear congestion, outperforming  saline spray by 34 percent.  Another advantage is that using nasal irrigation may enable allergy sufferers to eliminate or greatly reduce medications that may have undesirable side effects and rebound congestion.  Some recommended nasal “flushes” used successfully in University  of Michigan studies are “Sinus Rinse” and “Neto.” Men’s Health 3/08.

TOASTING IS HEALTHIER – toasting bread may make it healthier, according to a U.K. study.  When participants ate bread that had been frozen, thawed, and toasted, their blood sugar rose 39 percent less than it did when they consumed fresh slices.  Both freezing and toasting worked on their own, too, reducing glycemic response by at least 26 percent each.  It could be that these processes chemically alter starch and prevent it from breaking down into sugar.
The scientists recommend storing the loaves in ...]]></description>

BEWARE OF “ENERGY DRINKS” – energy drinks such as Red Bull or Monster usually have lots of sugar and caffeine (and/or other stimulants) which may cause tooth erosion and can lead to cavities.  These drinks are very acidic, like many sodas, but a recent study in General Dentistry found that Red Bull is much more corrosive than soda, Gatorade, or a coffee drink.  If you do drink such beverages, be sure to rinse with water afterwards.
The same advice applies to those who ...]]></description>
