Snoring: A New Tip-Off To Stroke and Heart Disease

It turns out that what seems like an annoyance is actually an alarm bell. New research conducted by otolaryngologists at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroitfinds that snoring is a bigger risk factor for stroke and heart attack than smoking, being overweight, or high cholesterol. According to research by Robert Deeb, MD and Karen Yaremchuk, MD, snoring can reveal damage to the carotid arteries the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain. The study which has been submitted to the journal The Laryngoscope, will be presentedin Scottsdale, Arizona on Friday at the 2013 Combined Sections Meeting of the Triological Society .

How to heal your digestive system of damage from GMO foods (Video)

Digestion Foods: The Best And Worst Foods For Your Digestive System

Another trusted source for natural news and medicine, naturalnews.com states, A good first step to healing leaky gut syndrome and subsequent gluten sensitivities is to remove all genetically modified and gluten foods from the diet. Wheat, rye and barley are the primary foods that contain gluten, but cross contamination during processing is common with other grains like oats. Once the diet is purified, adding pro-biotics, healthy fats and a few specific supplements will help to rebuild and heal the digestive tract.” If you were to stop the consumption of the problem causing foods, which for this article includes gluten and GMO foods. Then changed over to a more organic and natural diet that does not include foods such as processed foods, refined foods, prepackaged foods and foods that are high in gluten, just to name a few, and then started using kefir as a daily medicine to heal, your healing processed would be successful. Of course this would take time. But Kefir is so high in pro-biotics that you would not only be healing your gut from the damage but you would also be building your bodies defenses, immune system against illnesses and other medical issues that plague most of the US these days.

How intestinal flora aid digestion and foods that help build them Cells in the human digestive system lack some of the enzymes needed to break down certain types of food. The good bacteria in our gut have what it takes to break down those types of food, however. These micro-flora also make the B vitamin complex and hence aid the absorption of lipids, calcium, iron and magnesium. The act of re-seeding the gut in order to sustain gut-life can be done with probiotics and fermented foods.

WORST: Foods High In Saturated Fat Fatty foods can induce heartburn and diarrhea due to poor absorption of fat, Bechtold says. King adds that you can tell if your diet contains too many high-fat foods because your stool will float to the top of the toilet. This is a sign that you might want to cut back on the saturated fat. WORST: Alcohol Alcohol also relaxes the esophageal sphincter, which can then trigger acid reflux, King says. Bechtold adds that it can induce inflammation in the stomach. WORST: Dairy Dairy can induce bloating, Bechtold says, as well as abdominal discomfort, particularly for people who are lactose intolerant.

Study: Exercise helps prevent excess weight gain during pregnancy

Healthy weight gain in pregnancy is determined by how many babies you’re carrying and your weight (specifically your BMI) when you become pregnant. The Mayo Clinic gives some good guidelines for pregnancy weight gain for carrying one child: Underweight at pregnancy (BMI less than 18.5) – 28 to 40 pounds Normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.9) – 25-35 pounds Overweight (BMI 25-29.9) – 15-25 pounds Obese (BMI of 30 or more) – 11-20 pounds If a woman gains too much weight during pregnancy, it increases her risk for complications such as preeclampsia (high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine) and for obesity after delivery, and also ups the baby’s risk for childhood obesity. Many pregnant women have exercise programs, but they tend to focus on physical-activity guidelines of 30 minutes a day. The new research however, found that staying active throughout the day is more beneficial in preventing excess weight gain. For example, a woman who didn’t have a specific workout session but was active all day — such as a waitress or a mother who has young children and is always on the move — would get more exercise and burn more calories overall than a woman who had an exercise session but was otherwise inactive during the day.

Strange sleep disorder makes people see ‘demons’

ADHD and Sleep Disorders

In many cases, MacKinnon said, the science of sleep paralysis explains these myths. The feeling of suffocating or someone pushing down on the chest that often occurs during sleep paralysis may be a result of the automatic breathing pattern people fall into during sleep. When they become conscious while still in this breathing pattern, people may try to bring their breathing under voluntary control, leading to the feeling of suffocating. Add to that the hallucinations that seem to seep in from the dream world, and it’s no surprise that interpretations lend themselves to demons, ghosts or even alien abduction, MacKinnon said. What’s more, MacKinnon said, sleep paralysis is more likely when your sleep is disrupted in some way perhaps because you’ve been traveling, you’re too hot or too cold, or you’re sleeping in an unfamiliar or spooky place.

Large tonsils and adenoids can partially block the airway at night. This can cause snoring and poor sleep. That, in turn, may lead to attention problems the next day. In one study of 5- to 7-year-olds, snoring was more common among children with mild ADHD than in the other children. In another study, kids who snored were almost twice as likely as their peers to have ADHD.

Healthy diet in diabetes tied to less kidney disease

Sodium, measured from a urine sample, was not linked to a person’s chance of developing new or worsening kidney disease except at very high or low levels. The results don’t prove that eating a healthier diet can ward off kidney problems. But, the researchers wrote in JAMA Internal Medicine, “If the associations identified would be causal, then for each 1,000 individuals with type 2 diabetes and vascular disease adhering to a healthy diet, 131 would be expected to experience incidence or progression of (chronic kidney disease) within the next 5 years compared with 151 individuals on an unhealthy diet.” Dr. Holly Kramer, who studies nutrition and kidney disease at Loyola University Chicago, said the study had a number of limitations – including that sodium was measured in the urine at a single time point, rather than over one or more days, and that the researchers didn’t have data on the total amount of calories people ate each day. However, she said the findings are consistent with past studies showing that fruit and leafy green vegetables, in particular, are beneficial.

5 weight loss myths

Weight Loss

A person’s level of physical fitness, as well as his weight, matters for overall health. A study in 2012 showed that overweight and obese people were at no greater risk of developing or dying from heart disease or cancer compared to normal weight people, but only if they were as metabolically fit as their slimmer counterparts. When it comes to premature death, it’s less about how much fat a person carries, but what kind of fat. Visceral or belly fat, for example, is considered more metabolically harmful than fat that sits just under the surface of the skin. Visceral fat, which is embedded more deeply within muscles and organs like the liver, release agents that can disturb the body’s energy balance, shunting calories into fat.

Weight Watchers trying to cash in on desire for healthy workers

No matter what the reason, successful weight loss and healthy weight management depend on sensible goals and expectations. If you set sensible goals for yourself, chances are you’ll be more likely to meet them and have a better chance of keeping the weight off. In fact, losing even five to 10 percent of your weight is the kind of goal that can help improve your health. Most overweight people should lose weight gradually. For safe and healthy weight loss, try not to exceed a rate of two pounds per week.

Last week, it reported second-quarter revenue down 4 percent to $465.1 million. They closed on Thursday at $37.57, almost 21 percent lower than a month ago. But Weight Watchers’ partnership with companies eager to slim down their employees was a bright spot. Experts say employee weight-loss programs are good for worker productivity and employee retention. Weight Watchers’ workforce division might be a small piece of the diet pie for now, but revenue for its partnership with large employers grew about 30 percent this quarter. Regional partnerships, with small employers, saw a 1 percent decline in sales. The company has remained tight-lipped on exact details of the division’s results and declined to make an executive available to discuss them.
