<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find that studying right before sleeping is very helpful in remembering things for a test. I remember I had crammed all my studying right before going to sleep and it turned out that it was advantageous for me because I remembered everything. Sleeping right after studying, helped my brain make connections, which helped me remember things during a test. I find that this only works for multiple choice test. When the tests, are short answer or essay based, studying right before sleeping is not as helpful. </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: #fdfdfd; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.400001525878906px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
"Here we've shown how sleep helps neurons form very specific connections on dendritic branches that may facilitate long-term memory," he explains, "We also show how different types of learning form synapses on different branches of the same neurons, suggesting that learning causes very specific structural changes in the brain."</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: #fdfdfd; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.400001525878906px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
In experiments with mice, he and his team show for the first time that learning and sleep cause physical changes in the motor cortex, a brain region involved with voluntary movements.</div>

While we may appear restful as we slumber, our cells are not. The brain cells that were active taking on new information during waking hours, reactivate during deep sleep or slow-wave sleep - a phase when brain waves slow right down, and rapid eye movement, and dreaming, come to a halt.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: #fdfdfd; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.400001525878906px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
For some time now, scientists have believed slow-wave sleep is when we form and recall new memories. But exactly how this happens physically is what this study shows for the first time - using mice genetically modified so a particular protein in their brain cells fluoresces when seen with a laser-scanning microscope.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: #fdfdfd; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.400001525878906px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
Using this approach, the team could track the growth of new spines along individual branches of dendrites. A brain cell typically has many thousands of dendrites. These connect to other neurons via synapses and carry information in the form of electrical impulses....</div>

I believe alcohol can have some effects on the body, but I do not think it can damage DNA. It takes a lot of alcohol to do any damage & sure young adults drink a lot, but I think their bodies can easily adapt and maintain itself. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>College students are renowned for partying at the weekends, and this usually involves having a drink or two. But new research has found that this level of alcohol consumption may cause damage to DNA. This is according to a study published in the journal Alcohol.</b><br /><br />The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism states that around <a href="http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/special-populations-co-occurring-disorders/college-drinking">four out of five college students in the US drink alcohol</a> and 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year as a result of unintentional alcohol-related injuries.<br /><br />According to the study researchers, including co-author Jesús Velázquez of the Autonomous University of Nayarit in Mexico, previous research studying the effects of alcohol consumption has mainly been carried out in individuals who have been drinking for long periods of time.<br /><br />These individuals usually have illnesses as a result of their alcohol consumption, such as liver damage, <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/info/cancer-oncology/">cancer</a> or<a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/8933.php">depression</a>.<br /><br />But the investigators say their study is "pioneering," as it analyzes the effects of alcohol consumption on young people who are healthy.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Oxidative damage caused by alcohol consumption</b></span><br /><br />The researchers set out to determine the level of oxidative damage caused by alcohol consumption in two groups of people between the ages of 18 and 23. Oxidative stress can cause damage to proteins, membranes and genes.<br /><br />One group drank an average of 1.5 liters of alcoholic beverages every weekend, while the other group did not consume any alcohol.<br /><br />All participants underwent blood tests to ensure they were healthy and were free of any diseases or addictions.<br /><br />The researchers also measured the activity of dehydrogenase - an enzyme responsible for metabolizing alcohol (ethanol) into acetaldehyde - as well as acetoacetate and acetone activity.<br /><br />Using a thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) test, the researchers were able to assess oxidative damage. The test allowed them to see how ethanol in the blood, and the acetaldehyde produced by dehydrogenase in reaction to ethanol, affects the lipid peroxidation that impacts cell membranes.<br /><br /><b>Results of the study revealed that the alcohol-consuming group demonstrated twice as much oxidative damage to their cell membranes, compared with the group that did not drink.</b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Signs of DNA damage through alcohol consumption</b></span><br /><br />An additional experiment, called the comet test, was conducted to see whether the participants' DNA was also affected by alcohol consumption. This involved taking out the nucleus of lymphocytic cells in the blood and putting it through electrophoresis.<br /><br />The researchers explain that if the cells are faulty and DNA is damaged, it causes a "halo" in the electrophoresis, called "the comet tail."<br /><br />The experiment revealed that the group who consumed alcohol showed significantly bigger comet tails in the electrophoresis, compared with the group that did not drink alcohol.<br /><br /><b>In detail, 8% of cells were damaged in the control group, but 44% were damaged in the drinking group. This means the drinking group had 5.3 times more damage to their cells.</b><br /><br />However, the investigators say that they were unable to confirm there was extensive damage to the DNA, as the comet tail was less than 20 nanometers. But the investigators say their findings still raise concern.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Overall, they conclude that oxidative damage can be found in young adults with only 4-5 years' alcohol drinking history, and that this is the first study to provide evidence of this damage in individuals at the early stages of alcohol abuse.</b></span></div>

I believe that eating two big meals can work, but I believe that it is unrealistic. Many people cannot skip dinner, because dinner to so many people is an essential time for family. 6 small meals in a day is easier and more essential than giving up eating throughout the day. The only difficult part about eating 6 small meals a day is that it is harder to control calories throughout the day.</div>

You've probably heard that eating multiple small meals throughout the day is a good way to stave off hunger and keep your metabolism revved up while trying to lose weight. But a new study could change your diet strategy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 4px 0px 3px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Eating two large meals early and skipping dinner may lead to more weight loss than eating six smaller meals throughout the day, the study suggests.</div>

"Both experimental and human studies strongly support the positive effects of intermittent fasting," lead study author Dr. Hana Kahleova told CNN in an e-mail.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span id="more-49427" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The study</strong></div>

Researchers from the Czech Republic followed 54 patients with Type 2 diabetes for 24 weeks. The study participants were split into two groups at random. Both groups followed a diet that reduced their energy intake by 500 calories per day and contained 50 to 55% carbohydrates, 20 to 25% protein and less than 30% fat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 4px 0px 3px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For the first 12 weeks, one group ate three main meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner - and three small snacks in between meals. The other group ate a large breakfast between 6 and 10 a.m. and a large lunch between noon and 4 p.m. The two groups then switched for the second 12 weeks.</div>

Although both groups lost weight and decreased the amount of fat in their livers, the group that was eating only two larger meals lost more during each 12-week session. Eating fewer, bigger meals also led to lower fasting blood sugar levels, meaning that the body's insulin production was working more efficiently.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 4px 0px 3px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The timing and frequency of the groups' meals did not seem to have an effect on the function of beta cells that produce insulin or on the glucose metabolic clearance rate - i.e. how fast their bodies were able to process and get rid of sugar.</div>

"This is interesting," says CNN diet and fitness expert Melina Jampolis. "But the first thing I think of is that it's not really liveable, telling people to skip dinner every day."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 4px 0px 3px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Jampolis is also concerned that the two groups did not end up eating the same total number of calories. "Eating six times a day, it's very hard to control calories." The researchers admit that while they did their best to ensure both groups consumed the same amount, the group that ate two larger meals may have eaten less.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 4px 0px 3px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While the study was small, Jampolis agrees that there's research to support eating a lighter meal later in the day.</div>

Most of us consume the majority of our day's calories late at night when we're the least active, she says. And when we're not active, our insulin sensitivity drops.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In college, I set my school schedule to start at 9 or 10 am because I believe that this is the optimal time when I am more alert and awake. Schools start so early that students are not paying attention in their morning classes because they stayed up late doing homework. I believe test scores and grades overall would dramatically increase if schools started later. With that extra time, I would be able to eat breakfast, instead of being rushed to get to school on time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">COLUMBIA, Mo. – Jilly Dos Santos really did try to get to school on time. She set three successive alarms on her phone. Skipped breakfast. Hastily applied makeup while her fuming father drove. But last year she rarely made it into the frantic scrum at the doors of Rock Bridge High School here by the first bell, at 7:50 a.m.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then she heard that the school board was about to make the day start even earlier, at 7:20 a.m.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I thought, if that happens, I will die,” recalled Jilly, 17. “I will drop out of school!”</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That was when the sleep-deprived teenager turned into a sleep activist. She was determined to convince the board of a truth she knew in the core of her tired, lanky body: Teenagers are developmentally driven to be late to bed, late to rise. Could the board realign the first bell with that biological reality?</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sputtering, nearly 20-year movement to start high schools later has recently gained momentum in communities like this one, as hundreds of schools in dozens of districts across the country have bowed to the <a href="http://www.cehd.umn.edu/carei/sleepresources.html" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Sleep Resources">accumulating research</a> on the adolescent body clock.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In just the last two years, high schools in Long Beach, Calif.; Stillwater, Okla.; Decatur, Ga.;, and Glens Falls, N.Y., have pushed back their first bells, joining early adopters in Connecticut, North Carolina, Kentucky and Minnesota. The Seattle school board will vote this month on whether to pursue the issue. The superintendent of Montgomery County, Md., supports the shift, and the school board for Fairfax County, Va., is working with consultants to develop options for starts after 8 a.m.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">

Researchers at the University of Minnesota, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, studied eight high schools in three states before and after they moved to later start times in recent years. In results released Wednesday they found that the later a school’s start time, the better off the students were on many measures, including mental health, car crash rates, attendance and, in some schools, grades and standardized test scores.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. Elizabeth Miller, chief of adolescent medicine at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, who was not involved in the research, noted that the study was not a randomized controlled trial, which would have compared schools that had changed times with similar schools that had not. But she said its methods were pragmatic and its findings promising.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Even schools with limited resources can make this one policy change with what appears to be benefits for their students,” Dr. Miller said.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Researchers have found that during adolescence, as hormones surge and the brain develops, teenagers who regularly sleep eight to nine hours a night learn better and are less likely to be tardy, get in fights or <a href="http://journals.lww.com/pedorthopaedics/Fulltext/2014/03000/Chronic_Lack_of_Sleep_is_Associated_With_Increased.1.aspx" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Study abstract">sustain athletic injuries</a>. Sleeping well can also help moderate their tendency toward <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21843548" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Study abstract">impulsive or risky decision-making</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During puberty, teenagers have a later release of the <a href="http://contemporarypediatrics.modernmedicine.com/contemporary-pediatrics/news/modernmedicine/modern-medicine-feature-articles/look-adolescent-sleep-n" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Article from Contemporary Pediatrics">“sleep” hormone melatonin</a>, which means they tend not to feel drowsy until around 11 p.m. That inclination can be further delayed by the stimulating blue light from electronic devices, which tricks the brain into sensing wakeful daylight, slowing the release of melatonin and the onset of sleep. The Minnesota study noted that 88 percent of the students kept a cellphone in their bedroom.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But many parents, and some students, object to shifting the start of the day later. They say doing so makes sports practices end late, jeopardizes student jobs, bites into time for homework and extracurricular activities, and upsets the morning routine for working parents and younger children.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At heart, though, experts say, the resistance is driven by skepticism about the primacy of sleep.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It’s still a badge of honor to get five hours of sleep,” said<a href="http://www.childrensnational.org/departmentsandPrograms/default.aspx?Type=Dept&Id=6045&Name=Sleep%20Medicine" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Bio"> Dr. Judith Owens</a>, a sleep expert at the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington. “It supposedly means you’re working harder, and that’s a good thing. So there has to be a cultural shift around sleep.”</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last January, Jilly decided she would try to make that change happen in the Columbia school district, which sprawls across 300 square miles of flatland, with 18,000 students and 458 bus routes. But before she could make the case for a later bell, she had to show why an earlier one just would not do.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She got the idea in her team-taught Advanced Placement world history class, which explores the role of leadership. Students were urged to find a contemporary topic that ignited their passion. One morning, the teachers mentioned that a school board committee had recommended an earlier start time to solve logistical problems in scheduling bus routes. The issue would be discussed at a school board hearing in five days. If you do not like it, the teachers said, do something.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jilly did the ugly math: A first bell at 7:20 a.m. meant she would have to wake up at 6 a.m.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She had found her passion.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She seemed an unlikely choice to halt what was almost a done deal. She was just a sophomore, and did not particularly relish conflict. But Jilly, the youngest of seven children, had learned to be independent early on: Her mother died when she was 9.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And she is energetic and forthright. That year, she had interned on a voter turnout drive for Missouri Democrats, volunteered in a French-immersion prekindergarten class, written for the student newspaper, worked at a fast-food pizza restaurant and maintained an A average in French, Spanish and Latin.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It’s about time management,” she explained one recent afternoon, curled up in an armchair at home.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That Wednesday, she pulled an all-nighter. She created a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/475631662500735/" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Students' Say Facebook page">Facebook page</a> and set up a <a href="https://twitter.com/Students_Say_" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Twitter feed">Twitter account</a>, alerting hundreds of students about the school board meeting: “Be there to have a say in your school district’s decisions on school start times!”</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She then got in touch with<a href="http://www.startschoollater.net/" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank" title="Group's site"> Start School Later</a>, a nonprofit group that provided her with scientific ammunition. She recruited friends and divided up sleep-research topics. With a blast of emails, she tried to enlist the help of every high school teacher in the district. She started an online <a href="https://www.change.org/petitions/columbia-public-school-board-rethink-proposed-school-start-times-taking-into-account-community-opinions" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank">petition</a>.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The students she organized made hundreds of posters and fliers, and posted advice on Twitter: “If you are going to be attending the board meeting tomorrow we recommend that you dress up!”</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The testy school board meeting that Monday was packed. Jilly, wearing a demure, ruffled white blouse and skirt, addressed the board, blinking owl-like. The dignitaries’ faces were a blur to her because while nervously rubbing her eyes, she had removed her contact lenses. But she spoke coolly about the adolescent sleep cycle: “You know, kids don’t want to get up,” she said. “I know I don’t. Biologically, we’ve looked into that.”</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The board heatedly debated the issue and decided against the earlier start time.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next day Jilly turned to campaigning for a later start time, joining a movement that has been gaining support. A 2011 <a href="http://www.brookings.edu/research/papers/2011/09/organization-jacob-rockoff" style="color: #326891;" target="_blank">report</a> by the Brookings Institution recommended later start times for high schools, and last summer Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, posted his endorsement of the idea on Twitter...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I believe that sleep is important in getting rejuvenated and feeling new. Sleep can help a person feel more alert and aware. The brain is filled with toxins that gets built up everyday from stress, and other toxic things from everyday life. It is important to flush it out so we can think fresh. Sleep is an important way of accomplishing that. Getting adequate and great amount of sleep is crucial in optimal brain function. <br /><br />By: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14px;">Alicia Chang, Associated Press</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">LOS ANGELES (AP) — When we sleep, our brains get rid of gunk that builds up while we're awake, suggests a study that may provide new clues to treat Alzheimer's disease and other disorders.<br /><br />This cleaning was detected in the brains of sleeping mice, but scientists said there's reason to think it happens in people too.<br /><br />If so, the finding may mean that for people with dementia and other mind disorders, "sleep would perhaps be even more important in slowing the progression of further damage," Dr. Clete Kushida, medical director of the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, said in an email.<br /><br />Kushida did not participate in the study, which appears in Friday's issue of the journal Science.<br /><br />People who don't get enough shut-eye have trouble learning and making decisions, and are slower to react. But despite decades of research, scientists can't agree on the basic purpose of sleep. Reasons range from processing memory, saving energy to regulating the body.<br /><br />The latest work, led by scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center, adds fresh evidence to a long-standing view: When we close our eyes, our brains go on a cleaning spree.<br /><br />The team previously found a plumbing network in mouse brains that flushes out cellular waste. For the new study, the scientists injected the brains of mice with beta-amyloid, a substance that builds up in Alzheimer's disease, and followed its movement. They determined that it was removed faster from the brains of sleeping mice than awake mice.<br /><br />The team also noticed that brain cells tend to shrink during sleep, which widens the space between the cells. This allows waste to pass through that space more easily.<br /><br />Though the work involved mouse brains, lead researcher Dr. Maiken Nedergaard said this plumbing system also exists in dogs and baboons, and it's logical to think that the human brain also clears away toxic substances. Nedergaard said the next step is to look for the process in human brains.<br /><br />In an accompanying editorial, neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro said scientists have recently taken a heightened interest in the spaces between brain cells, where junk is flushed out.<br /><br />It's becoming clearer that "sleep is likely to be a brain state in which several important housekeeping functions take place," she said in an email.<br /><br />The study was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. In a statement, program director Jim Koenig said the finding could lead to new approaches for treating a range of brain diseases.</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the most studies, people who smoke daily reported that they have mood or anxiety issues. I see at my University people smoking even though smoking is banned on campus. I can hypothesize most of those people have some anxiety or mood issues. People also smoke because it relaxes them and relives stress for them. Overall, smoking is dangerous whether it is your mental illness or lung cancer. Smoking has no benefits to it. It will cause cancer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />People with mental illnesses—from anxiety to bipolar disorder—are more likely to self-medicate.<br /><br />When treating a patient for mental illness, experts tend to focus on bad habits that have the most dramatic impact on the patient’s life, namely alcohol and drugs, as they can worsen mental problems. Smoking, however, typically gets a pass.<br /><br />But new research from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that treating nicotine addiction can have positive effects on a person’s mental well-being.<br /><b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">How Quitting Can Improve Your Mental State</span></b><br /><br />Researchers analyzed data from 4,800 daily smokers from the National Epidemiologic Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions survey and found that those with addiction problems or psychological issues had fewer problems three years later if they quit smoking.<br /><br />The first time the survey was given, about 40 percent of daily smokers reported having mood or anxiety issues. Roughly half of daily smokers also had alcohol problems and a quarter had drug issues.<br /><br />Three years later when the survey was given again, 42 percent of the people who still smoked had mood disorders. Of those who quit, only 29 percent had mood issues. Alcohol and drug use rates were also lower in former smokers.<br /><br />“We don't know if their mental health improves first and then they are more motivated to quit smoking or if quitting smoking leads to an improvement in mental health,” lead investigator Patricia A. Cavazos-Rehg said in a statement. “But either way, our findings show a strong link between quitting and a better psychiatric outlook.”<br /><br />Besides the mental health benefits, there are also the obvious physical health benefits of quitting smoking.<br /><br />“About half of all smokers die from emphysema, cancer, or other problems related to smoking, so we need to remember that as complicated as it can be to treat mental health issues, smoking cigarettes also causes very serious illnesses that can lead to death,” Cavazos-Rehg said.<br /><br />Her study was published in the journal Psychological Medicine.<br /><b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">You Have to Admit You’re a Smoker First</span></b><br /><br />You would think that someone who smokes cigarettes would admit to being a smoker, but researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine say that’s not always the case.<br /><br />In a recent study in Tobacco Control, researchers show that in 2011 nearly 396,000 Californians—or 12.3 percent of the population—regularly smoked cigarettes, yet didn’t call themselves “smokers.” That includes the nearly 22 percent of people who smoked on a daily basis.<br /><br />Not admitting you are a smoker is a major barrier to quitting. There’s no reason to stop doing something if you don’t do it in the first place, right?<br /><br />“There is a risk for such smokers to continue to smoke and be adversely impacted by the tobacco they smoke, yet they do not seek any assistance nor do they plan to quit because they falsely believe they are not smokers,” Dr. Wael K. Al-Delaimy, a professor and chief of the Division of Global Health at UCSD said.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I believe that kids these days are eating so much sugar and unhealthy foods that it is damaging their teeth. Oral health is a great indicator of overall health. If a child has a mouth full of cavities, then they are more likely to have unhealthy eating habits. It is important that children eat healthy so they will have healthy oral health. In addition, many parents think it is unnecessary for kids to brush their teeth because their teeth are going to fall out anyways. That is a total myth and it is important for good oral hygiene as soon as your child tooth erupts. Parents should follow the tips that ADA offers down below. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">By Katie Moisse<br /><br />Getting kids to care about oral health can be like pulling teeth. But cavities aren't just painful — they can interfere with learning, speech, eating and play.<br /><br />Roughly one in six American kids has untreated cavities, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And experts say those tiny holes can have major consequences on growth and development.<br /><br />“Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease of childhood, and in the worst case it can change a kid’s life for the short or long term,” said Dr. Jonathan Shenkin, a pediatric dentist based in Augusta, Maine, and spokesman for the American Dental Association. “Taking steps to prevent it early on — as soon as the first tooth erupts — is key to having a lifetime of good oral health.”<br /><br />Tooth decay accounts for 51 million missed school hours and 25 million missed work hours among parents annually, according to the American Dental Association. But some simple steps can cut the risk of cavities and set up good dental habits for life.<br /><br />The ADA offers the following tips:<br /><ul>
<li>Eat a nutritious diet during pregnancy</li>
<li>Take your child to a dentist before his or her first birthday</li>
<li>Brush your child’s teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste</li>
<li>Floss your child’s teeth daily as soon as two teeth touch</li>
<li>Avoid giving your child sugary and starchy snacks</li>
</ul>

<span style="line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do not see coffee as a memory booster, but instead I see it as a way to make a person alert. I think that those who underwent the study and received a pill containing caffeine were probably more alert, which made them remember more. Many people drink coffee everyday and they do not see a boost in memory. If anything, I believe that caffeine enhances a persons alertness, which will help them recall things more. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition to its other well-known effects, a cup of coffee might improve your memory.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Researchers had 73 male and female volunteers who did not habitually consume caffeine study pictures of flowers, musical instruments and other objects. After they were done, 35 of them were given a pill containing 200-milligrams of caffeine — the amount in one to two cups of coffee — and the rest an identical looking placebo. Neither the subjects nor the researchers knew until the study ended who took caffeine and who took an inert pill.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next day they showed the volunteers more pictures, asking them if they were the same, different, or different but similar to the pictures they had seen the previous day.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those who had caffeine pills were significantly better at identifying pictures that were different but similar to the ones they had seen the previous day. In other tests, the researchers found that less than 200 milligrams had no effect, and more did not further improve the participants’ scores.</span></div>
<div class="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; max-width: 540px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The senior author, Michael A. Yassa, formerly at Johns Hopkins and now an assistant professor of neurobiology at the University of California, Irvine, said that the study, <a href="http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nn.3623.html" style="color: #326891; text-decoration: none;">published online in Nature Neuroscience</a>, does not prove that caffeine is a memory pill.</span></div>

I have always thought that music helps with learning. I believe that music helps with focusing, especially with studying. I listen to classical music to help me focus, while studying. I don't use it because I think it will make me smarter. I listen to it because it helps me focus and recall things better. I have always been told that playing a musical instrument will make you smarter. I believe that playing an instrument benefits anyone in a different way than just making you smarter. I believe it helps you study better, listen better, and focus better. According to this article, there is no significant evidence that playing an instrument makes children smarter. I think it is important to continue playing instruments even if there is no beneficial factor to it. Music has always been part of culture and it is important to continue it. </div>

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 11, 2013 (HealthDay News) — If Johnny doesn’t take to the violin, don’t fret. A new study challenges the widely held belief that music lessons can help boost children’s intelligence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“More than 80 percent of American adults think that music improves children’s grades or intelligence,” study author Samuel Mehr, a graduate student in the School of Education at Harvard University, said in a university news release.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“Even in the scientific community, there’s a general belief that music is important for these extrinsic reasons — but there is very little evidence supporting the idea that music classes enhance children’s [mental] development,” he noted.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
In this study, Mehr and his colleagues randomly assigned 4-year-old children to receive instruction in either music or visual arts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“We wanted to test the effects of the type of music education that actually happens in the real world, and we wanted to study the effect in young children, so we implemented a parent-child music enrichment program with preschoolers,” Mehr explained. “The goal is to encourage musical play between parents and children in a classroom environment, which gives parents a strong repertoire of musical activities they can continue to use at home with their kids.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Both groups of children later underwent vocabulary, math and spatial skills tests. There was no evidence that the 15 children in the music group had any intellectual advantage over the 14 in the visual arts group.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The researchers then conducted a second experiment that included 45 children, with half receiving music training and half receiving no training. Again, the researchers found that music lessons did not provide any brain benefit, according to the study published Dec. 11 in the journal <i>PLoS One</i>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
While the findings suggest that music lessons won’t improve a child’s school grades, music education is still important, according to Mehr.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“There’s a compelling case to be made for teaching music that has nothing to do with extrinsic benefits. We don’t teach kids Shakespeare because we think it will help them do better on the SATs, we do it because we believe Shakespeare is important,” he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“Music is an ancient, uniquely human activity — the oldest flutes that have been dug up are 40,000 years old, and human song long preceded that,” Mehr noted. “Every single culture in the world has music, including music for children. Music says something about what it means to be human, and it would be crazy not to teach this to our children.”</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Do you think vaping is better than </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">cigarettes</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">? There have been many different opinions on vaping vs. smoking. Vaping is such a new thing, and there is not enough research to see if vaping is really better than smoking </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">cigarettes. Do you consider vaping smoking? It is essentially water vapor. But I believe that vaping with nicotine can be harmful for the lungs. I guess we have to wait and see if vaping has any negative effects on the body. </span></span></div>

The ban takes effect in four months, although business owners will have another six months to post “No Vaping” signs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why did the city council decide to treat vaping like smoking? Not because e-cigarettes, which contain no tobacco and produce no smoke, pose a hazard to bystanders, which is the usual <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2013/12/16/is-it-safe-yet-to-have-an-honest-convers" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #666666; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">excuse</a> for smoking bans, but because they <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">look too much</em> like regular cigarettes. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Similarly, Councilman James Gennaro, the ban’s main sponsor, <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2013/11/28/new-york-city-may-ban-vaping-because-it" style="border: 0px; color: #666666; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">worries</a> that e-cigarettes’ superficial resemblance to the tobacco-burning variety will confuse children, undermining decades of education aimed at convincing the nation’s youth that smoking is dangerous and totally uncool. While these explanations are <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2013/12/05/new-yorks-health-commissioner-says-e-cig" style="border: 0px; color: #666666; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">utterly implausible</a>, they do reflect the true, subrational motivation of e-cigarette prohibitionists: They are appalled by this product because the battery-powered devices remind them of the real thing, triggering all the emotions of disgust, contempt, and self-righteousness they associate with smoking.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet it is this very same resemblance that makes e-cigarettes such a promising harm-reduction tool, one that mimics smoking while delivering nicotine to the lungs without the myriad toxins and carcinogens generated by tobacco combustion. Hence anyone concerned about the health effects of smoking should welcome this product. But for control freaks like Quinn and Gennaro, the cigarette form has become such a powerful symbol of evil that they have lost sight of the health-based rationale for their opposition to smoking, the upshot being that they support a policy that’s apt to result in more tobacco-related disease and death, the opposite of their ostensible goal.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
Sleep is one of the great mysteries of life. Like gravity or the quantum field, we still don't understand exactly why we sleep—although we are learning more about it every day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
We do know, however, that good <span style="cursor: pointer;">sleep</span> is one of the cornerstones of health.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
Six to eight hours per night seems to be the <span style="cursor: pointer;">optimal amount of sleep</span> for most adults, and too much or too little can have adverse effects on your health.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
Sleep deprivation is such a chronic condition these days that you might not even realize you suffer from it. Science has now established that a sleep deficit can have serious, far reaching effects on your health.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
For example, interrupted or impaired sleep can:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 0px 38px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Dramatically weaken your <span style="cursor: pointer;">immune system</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Accelerate tumor growth—tumors grow two to three times faster in laboratory animals with severe sleep dysfunctions</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Cause a pre-diabetic state, making you feel hungry even if you've already eaten, which can wreak havoc on your <span style="cursor: pointer;">weight</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Seriously impair your <span style="cursor: pointer;">memory</span>; even a single night of poor sleep—meaning sleeping only 4 to 6 hours—can impact your ability to think clearly the next day</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Impair your performance on physical or mental tasks, and decrease your problem solving ability</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
When your circadian rhythms are disrupted, your body produces less melatonin (a hormone AND an antioxidant) and has less ability to fight <span style="cursor: pointer;">cancer</span>, since melatonin helps suppress free radicals that can lead to cancer. This is why tumors grow faster when you sleep poorly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
Impaired sleep can also increase stress-related disorders, including:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 0px 38px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Heart disease</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Stomach ulcers</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Constipation</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Mood disorders like depression</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
Sleep deprivation prematurely ages you by interfering with your <span style="cursor: pointer;">growth hormone</span> production, normally released by your pituitary gland during deep sleep (and during certain types of exercise, such as <span style="cursor: pointer;">Peak Fitness Technique</span>). Growth hormone helps you look and feel younger.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
One study has even shown that people with chronic insomnia have a three times greater risk of <span style="cursor: pointer;">dying</span> from <strong>any</strong> cause.<br />
Lost sleep is lost forever, and persistent lack of sleep <em>has a cumulative effect </em>when it comes to disrupting your health. Poor sleep can make your life miserable, as most of you probably know.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
The good news is, there are many natural techniques you can learn to restore your "sleep health."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
Whether you have difficulty falling asleep, waking up too often, or feeling inadequately rested when you wake up in the morning—or maybe you simply want to improve the quality of your sleep—you are bound to find some relief from my tips and tricks below.</div>

Hey all you coffee lovers out there! There might a benefit from the coffee that you drink everyday. Research is studying the effects that coffee has on the heart. According to their recent research, scientist has seen that the caffeine in a cup of coffee might help your small blood vessels work better. So all of you who go to Starbucks every morning to get your cup of coffee might be having some extra benefits for your overall heart. For me, I think it is the sugar that increases blood flow through small vessels. </div>

<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 20, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Coffee seems to offer a mysterious benefit to <a href="http://www.webmd.com/heart/default.htm" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">heart health</a> -- one that doctors have been at pains to explain.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
Now, a small, new study from Japan suggests that the <a href="http://www.webmd.com/balance/caffeine-myths-and-facts" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">caffeine</a> in a cup of coffee might help your small blood vessels work better, which could ease strain on the<a href="http://www.webmd.com/heart/picture-of-the-heart" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">heart</a>.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
A cup of caffeinated coffee caused a 30 percent increase in blood flow through the small vessels of people's fingertips, compared with a cup of decaf, according to the research, which is scheduled for presentation Wednesday at the American Heart Association's annual meeting in Dallas.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
These microvessels regulate the ease with which blood flows through the circulatory system and the body's tissues, said lead researcher Dr. Masato Tsutsui, a cardiologist and professor in the pharmacology department at the University of the Ryukyus, in Okinawa.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
Previous studies have shown an association between coffee drinking and lower risk of <a href="http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/guide/heart-disease-heart-attacks" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">heart attack</a>, <a href="http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/default.htm" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">heart disease</a> and <a href="http://www.webmd.com/stroke/default.htm" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">stroke</a>, said Dr. Gordon Tomaselli, chief of cardiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Researchers found that high doses of caffeine may improve the function of larger <a href="http://www.webmd.com/heart/picture-of-the-arteries" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">arteries</a>.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
But scientists have not been able to figure out why this is, given that coffee also can increase blood pressure. <a href="http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/default.htm" style="color: #3789b9; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">High blood pressure</a> can damage arteries.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
"This is an intriguing observation that may help us understand why consumption of coffee may be beneficial," said Tomaselli, former president of the American Heart Association.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
The study involved 27 healthy adults, aged 22 to 30, who did not regularly drink coffee. They were asked to drink a 5-ounce cup of either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee. Researchers then measured their finger blood flow using a noninvasive laser technique for gauging blood circulation.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
Two days later, the experiment was repeated with the other type of coffee. Neither the researchers nor the participants knew when they were drinking caffeinated coffee.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
The researchers found that blood flow in the small blood vessels improved by nearly one-third among the people who drank caffeinated coffee. The effect continued in those people over a 75-minute period.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
Heart rate levels remained the same between the two groups, although caffeinated coffee slightly raised blood pressure.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
The improved blood flow is likely because of improved function of the inner lining of the blood vessels, Tsutsui said. Researchers have linked the function of the lining of blood vessels -- also known as endothelial function -- to future heart attacks, heart disease and strokes.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
By opening blood vessels and reducing harmful inflammation, caffeine may create favorable conditions for good heart health, he said.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
But how much coffee is too much? Tsutsui pointed to a landmark U.S. National Institutes of Health study that showed that, overall, drinking six or more cups of coffee a day reduced men's risk of early death by 10 percent and women's risk by 15 percent.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
That study, published last year in the <i>New England Journal of Medicine</i>, found that risk of heart disease and stroke either remained low or went even lower as people drank more coffee during the day.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
The new study was co-sponsored by the All Japan Coffee Association, which might raise some healthy skepticism were it not for the large body of evidence that already shows coffee's heart health benefits, Tomaselli said.</div>
<div class="node" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px;">
That said, the study's small sample size does not conclusively explain why coffee is so good for the heart. "I don't think this answers any questions for us," Tomaselli said.</div>

Normally, phobia's are addressed by gradually showing that person the phobia they have little by little. It would be even better to fight fears during sleep because we are not fully aware of what is happening. I believe this can be potentially a great way to address fears and phobia especially starting from a young age. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHvdcw3COjzGMwc_0OvsAVS8XKJK35ohGrOAcdQIBpTNlF14fDWxqd-XG9QPHa-IHeAQinrHAiXqwP6gVzkQI9nNyNvhnq7qfidt_3f60uRcKF1yZL6P6bVmuAPtwPKOFUH0nNrA7fM5U4/s1600/266462-sleeping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHvdcw3COjzGMwc_0OvsAVS8XKJK35ohGrOAcdQIBpTNlF14fDWxqd-XG9QPHa-IHeAQinrHAiXqwP6gVzkQI9nNyNvhnq7qfidt_3f60uRcKF1yZL6P6bVmuAPtwPKOFUH0nNrA7fM5U4/s320/266462-sleeping.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For many patients with phobias, typical treatment involves gradual exposure to the feared object or situation. But researchers have now found that emotional memory can be manipulated during sleep, paving the way to new phobia treatments as we dream.<br /></span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The researchers, from Northwestern University, published the results of their study in the journal Nature Neuroscience.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They note that previous projects have demonstrated spatial learning and motor sequence learning can be strengthened during sleep, but until now, emotional memory has never been manipulated during slumber.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the study, the researchers gave 15 healthy volunteers mild electric shocks while two different faces were presented to them. The volunteers also smelled different odorants - such as clove, new sneaker or mint - while looking at each face and being shocked.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This linked the face and the smells with fear for the volunteers, say the researchers.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the subjects were sleeping, one of the odorants was released, but this time the faces and shocks were absent. The researchers released the odorant during slow wave sleep, which is when they say "memory consolidation" occurs.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the subjects awoke, they were then shown both faces. However, when presented with the face linked to the odor they smelled during sleep, their fear levels were lower than when the saw the other face...</span></div>

Our diet now compared to back then has changed drastically. A lot of our foods now have been modified & have tons of unknown ingredients. The stuff we consume is heavily processed and modified and cannot be good for our oral health. Back when we used to be hunter-gathers, people never brushed their teeth or had good oral hygiene The foods that they ate were not modified and processed. I believe there needs to be more research into the types of things that are put into our food and how it affects our oral health. </span></span><br />

It is amazing to see the miracle that doctors can perform today. Twins can be successfully separated without to much complications. It is cool to see how technology has changed and how much we can do with it now. </div>

Two conjoined infants have successfully been separated through an operation last Saturday, Dallas hospital officials confirmed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
Owen and Emmett Ezell were born conjoined from their breastbone to their hip bone. Before the surgery they shared a liver and an intestinal tract.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
Five days after their surgery, the six-week-old infants are reported to be in stable condition at the Medical City Children's Hospital.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
Dr. Clair Schwendeman, a neonatologist treating the twins, said he was "cautiously optimistic" for the twins' recovery.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
"They're on some breathing support, but they've stabilized," said Schwendeman.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
Schwendeman said incidents of conjoined twins are extremely rare and are estimated to occur at a rate of between one in 50,000 to one in 200,000 births. Depending on where the twins are conjoined, the survival rate for the infants is often extremely low.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
Schwendeman said that the Ezell twins were estimated to have a 40 to 50 percent chance of survival.</div>

The twins' mother, Jenni Ezell, has been writing about her experiences on<a href="http://theezelltwins.weebly.com/" style="color: #2e538f; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"> her blog.</a></div>

Writing about the morning of the surgery, Ezell wrote that she and her husband, Dave Ezell, had a few moments alone with the twins before they were taken away to the operating room.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
"I hope I never have to experience a moment like that again," Ezell wrote. "I didn't know if I would see my babies alive again, if I would see only one, or if I would see them after they had gone to be with their creator."</div>

Wow I never thought that animals could go to chiropractor to get adjusted. But it does make sense because they do have bones like humans and sometimes those bones get miss-aligned. I have never been to a chiropractor myself, but would love to try it because I do feel like it will provide benefits in the long run. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
One morning last August, Mary Arabe’s 9-year-old gray and black tiger cat, Leo, came home from a night out exploring with a severe limp and an elbow swollen three times its normal size. He was clearly in pain; Ms. Arabe thought he had dislocated his shoulder during a fall.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“He kind of lay around the barn that day; you could tell he was hurting,” said Ms. Arabe, who lives on a 25-acre farm in Rogers, Ohio, with 10 chickens, three horses, three cats and two dogs. “He was in so much agony I thought, ‘If someone can’t remove this animal’s pain I have to put him down.’”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
She took Leo to the veterinarian, who said he could do nothing for him. Despondent, she took him to Rick Tsai, a chiropractor in Darlington, Pa., who a few years earlier had adjusted Ms. Arabe’s puggle, Bustar, after a head and neck injury.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
An X-ray found no broken bones, but there was a large amount of swelling and fluid retention. Dr. Tsai couldn’t make any promises, but he placed his hands on the cat’s spine, hips and neck and manipulated the joints until they popped.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“We brought the cat home, and the next day he was walking fine,” said Ms. Arabe. “Two thirds of the swelling in the arm was gone. Whatever Dr. Tsai adjusted, it worked. He healed him.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Millions of people swear by their chiropractors, and chiropractic has long been a mainstay in the equine world, especially among show or racehorses. Now it is gaining popularity among pet owners, as a way to treat household pets suffering from arthritis, sprains, joint pain and other ailments.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Animal, or veterinary, chiropractic originated around 1895, when human chiropractic first began. But it did not gain wider appeal until 1987, when the late Sharon Willoughby-Blake, a veterinarian and chiropractor, started Options for Animals in Hillsdale, Ill., which taught vets and chiropractors how to adjust animals. Two years later, the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association, a professional membership group and the main certifying agency in North America, was formed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
According to Robbie Hroza, vice president of operations for Options for Animals, about 2,000 students have gone through their program. Over the last two years, student enrollment has increased by 50 percent; a good portion are recent graduates of veterinary or chiropractic schools, she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Still, the practice remains controversial, in both people and pets. While some studies have found that chiropractic care can be more effective than medications for people with <a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/03/for-neck-pain-chiropractic-and-exercise-are-better-than-drugs/" style="color: #666699;">problems like neck pain</a>, others have linked<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/26/health/26real.html" style="color: #666699;">forceful neck manipulation to strokes</a>. Other researchers have found that unfavorable chiropractic outcomes are <a href="http://journal.nzma.org.nz/journal/abstract.php?id=5143" style="color: #666699;">under-reported in medical trials</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
There are only a <a href="http://www.chiroaccess.com/Articles/Animals-and-Chiropractic.aspx" style="color: #666699;">few scientific studies</a> about chiropractic’s efficacy on animals, and tensions exist both within and between the chiropractic and veterinary communities. The <a href="http://www.ahvma.org/" style="color: #666699;" title="Association Web Site. ">American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association</a>, a trade organization, reports that in 2012 about 900 of the estimated 97,000 veterinarians in the United States practiced some type of animal adjustment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
In some states a chiropractor is not allowed to touch an animal without either a veterinarian’s referral or direct veterinary supervision.

Women, most especially white women, like seeing their skin tan and will go through any measures to get tan skin. I've been to a tanning salon once and saw this white woman with her young daughter getting a tan at the salon. I could not believe that this mother would allow her daughter to get tan at a young age. It is because of pop culture that people think that "tan skin is the in thing" </span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite warnings about skin cancer, about a third of the young and adult white women in a new study said they used tanning beds, and many were using them frequently. Tanning beds are widely believed to have played a large role in the increasing rates of skin cancer in recent decades. The most serious type, melanoma, has risen sharply among young white women in particular.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <a href="http://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1729532" style="color: #666699;" title="Study abstract. ">new study</a>, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, sought to document the prevalence of tanning bed use among white female high school students and white women ages 18 to 34.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It found that among the high school students, 30 percent had used a tanning bed in the previous year, and 17 percent had reported doing so at least 10 times, which was considered frequent use. Among those in the older group, a quarter had engaged in indoor tanning in the previous year, and 15 percent were classified as frequent users. In both groups, the practice was most common in the South and Midwest.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The authors of the report noted that indoor tanning before the age of 35 increases melanoma risk by up to 75 percent, and that the risk increases by roughly 2 percent with each additional tanning session per year.</span></div>

<span style="color: grey; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 11px;">I was unaware that heart disease is the #1 killer of women until reading this post. I believe that younger people are having heart attacks because of the food they eat. The junk and fast food is not good for children growing up. Children should be eating vegetables and fruit and a well balance diet. It is sad to see families so busy now-a-days that they cannot prepare a proper meal. Instead, they take the easy route and go through a McDonalds drive thru for the convenience. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The foreshadowing escaped me: The night before we left for our summer vacation in Michigan, I accidentally stepped on my Kindle — which, like my heart, I cannot live without — and broke it. Reduced to reading novels on my iPhone, I made the best of it several days later, sitting in a sunroom overlooking Eight Point Lake, where my family gathers each year with friends.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The day before, proving to my teenage sons that 48 isn’t too old for fun, I had hung on for dear life as I zoomed behind a speedboat on a ski tube. The next day, I was enjoying a few moments of solitude in those blissful minutes before the sun goes down, finger-swiping to turn the page of my novel on my phone’s tiny screen, when my left arm started hurting.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know that childhood feeling when your mother is mad at you, grabs your arm and squeezes it as she drags you away from whatever grief you’ve been causing? It felt like that, times 10, from shoulder to wrist. My chest got slightly uncomfortable, and I started sweating profusely. For the next four or five minutes, I kept to myself. I was incredibly antsy — up, down, sitting, standing, leaning, lying; my arm and I simply couldn’t get comfortable.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I instinctively knew what was happening but wasn’t ready to say it out loud, trying to reassure myself. There was no elephant on my chest; I’m too young – no one in my family has had heart trouble before age 55; I’m 50 pounds overweight but carry it well. Nevertheless, I motioned my husband up from the dock and, cradling my arm, told him something was really wrong.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He rushed to get some baby aspirin he’d seen earlier in the bathroom, which I chewed. I noticed him quietly doing a Google search for “heart attack symptoms” on his phone as family and friends gathered around us, but I was otherwise inside my head, no longer able to focus on what anyone else was doing or saying.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our friend drove us to the E.R., where my EKG looked normal and the first nitroglycerin pill had no effect. But 10 minutes later, about the time the second and third nitro pill were making the pain dissipate, the doctor showed up with the result of my cardiac enzyme blood test. It’s supposed to be 0, but mine was much higher. And, he said, that weird somersault feeling I was having right at that moment at the base of my throat was actually tachycardia, a rapid heart rate. Before he was even done talking, an ambulance crew was waiting to take me to a bigger hospital 30 minutes away for a cardiac catheterization.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little balloon angioplasty through the groin? I could deal with that, and maybe I could convince them to let me go back to the cottage in time for dessert. Instead, I woke up the next day, struggling to breathe, wrists strapped to the rails of a hospital bed, hearing the word “surgery.” I was extremely agitated, confused and unable to ask questions because of the breathing tube running down my throat.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was not the summer vacation I had planned.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It turned out my “tortuous” left anterior descending artery was 95 percent clogged, and the angioplasty effort tore the inner artery wall, making a stent impossible and creating an even more critical situation. While I was still anesthetized, a surgical team was rounded up at 3 a.m. for an emergency heart bypass. In the span of a couple of hours, I went from expecting a teeny balloon in my artery and a little puncture in my groin to having open heart surgery and an eight-inch scar bisecting my chest.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did I ever expect this? Not really. I’d read enough to know that heart disease is the <a href="http://www.womensheart.org/content/heartdisease/heart_disease_facts.asp" style="color: #666699;">No. 1 killer of women</a>, that our heart attack symptoms often are radically different from men’s (just ask Rosie O’Donnell, whose heart attack symptoms the same week as mine seemed more like the flu), and that a <a href="http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/125/1/188.full.pdf+html" style="color: #666699;">third of cardiovascular-disease deaths</a> happen to people younger than 65. But this stuff doesn’t happen to <em>us</em>, right?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only did it happen to me; it happened to me twice. I was lucky enough to arrange a flight home on a small plane — larger planes have pressure issues, and the doctors wouldn’t let us drive — but 30 minutes into the flight, my left arm started hurting and I started sweating, not to mention crying at the thought of going through this all over again.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We made an emergency landing. Later, after five hours of tests and discussion, a doctor told me it was stress-induced angina: the symptoms of a heart attack without the life-threatening blockage. He wanted me to stay overnight for observation, but finally agreed to let me continue my trip home.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’d been relatively pain-free in the hospital, but once I was home, the agony of my titanium-twist-tied sternum was startling. I’ve had to take everything — shifting positions, showering, even breathing — slowly. I’m more aware of my heartbeat, which can be a little freaky. And while I won’t be running marathons any time soon, it’s heartening to hear from friends that I look “terrific,” nothing like a person who had a heart attack five months ago.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’ve learned many things throughout all of this. Among them, that doctors now try to use a mammary artery, from the chest, for the bypass instead of grafting one from the leg because the mammary bypasses tend to last longer. And it’s likely that a lot of my previous complaints over the past few years — extreme fatigue, lack of endurance, poor circulation, jaw pain (not T.M.J., after all), and so many other vague symptoms — were due to this growing accumulation of plaque in my artery, not perimenopause. Even though I’m far from healed yet, I feel amazingly more alert and less muddled than I did before the surgery, and many of those other symptoms suddenly disappeared.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also quickly learned I have more friends than I realized, as people brought dinners and well wishes for weeks on end (not to mention commiseration about trying to read a book on an iPhone, a heart-attack-inducing event if ever there was one). However, I’m still coming to terms with the idea of a heart-healthy diet here in Wisconsin, the land of aged and artisan cheeses.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perhaps most important, I’ve learned to relinquish some control. Even if your doctor says you don’t need help walking up the stairs, let your husband or children escort you anyway. When you’ve been this close to death, the recovery is as much theirs as yours.</span></div>

After watching news about girls starving themselves to seem thinner I thought it was a social thing. But according to a study by the leading autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen, it is found that those with anorexia have an above-average number of autistic traits. Now knowledge of autism and it's treatment can help treat girls(or anybody) overcome anorexia. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
Society has viewed anorexia as purely an eating disorder, but the similarities between those who suffer from that and those with autism challenges traditional belief. Autism and anorexia share certain symptoms such as rigid attitudes, behaviors, a tendency to be very self-focused, and a fascination with detail. Both disorders also share similar differences in the structure and function of brain regions involved in social perception.<br /><br /><br />This issue primarily affects young girls because autism usually affects boys. In fact 1 in every 50 child in the US is diagnosed with autism and those of whom are mostly boys. This leads girls with anorexia to be misdiagnosed as just an eating disorder instead of something more severe.<br /><br /><br />"Shifting their interest away from body weight and dieting on to a different but equally systematic topic may be helpful," said autistic researcher Tony Jaffa. "(And) recognizing that some patients with anorexia may also need help with social skills and communication, and with adapting to change, also gives us a new treatment angle."<br /><br /><br />Jaffa led a test on how 66 girls aged 12 to 18 with anorexia but without autism scored on tests to measure autistic traits. He and his researchers found that five times more girls with anorexia scored in the range where people with autism score.</span></div>

<span style="color: grey; line-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found this article to be very interesting. I am not tall myself, but I do know people who are tall. I can see why there is a higher risk of cancer with height. I believe the contributing factor is the hormones and growth factors that spur cancer cells. Hopefully one day we can find a cure for at least one type of cancer that can benefit millions of people. </span></span></div>

A woman’s cancer risk appears to increase with her height, a new study shows.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
An analysis of 20,928 postmenopausal women showed that the taller a woman is, the greater her risk for a number of cancers, including breast, colon and skin cancer, among others. <a href="http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/early/2013/07/25/1055-9965.EPI-13-0305.abstract" style="color: #666699;" title="The study">The finding</a>, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, is not expected to change screening recommendations and shouldn’t alarm those with a tall stature. Instead, say scientists, the association between height and cancer may help guide researchers to study hormones and growth factors that influence height and may also play a role in cancer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“We know that cancer is a disease in which hormones and growth factors modify things,” said Geoffrey C. Kabat, a senior epidemiologist in the department of epidemiology and population health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York. “Height itself is not a risk factor, but it really appears to be a marker for one or more exposures that influence cancer risk.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Nobody really knows why cancer risk is associated with a taller stature. It may have to do with hormones and growth factors that spur both height and cancer cells. It may be that height simply increases the surface area of the body’s organs, resulting in a greater number of overall cells and higher subsequent risk of malignancy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
While the current study focused only on women, other research has also found an association between height and cancer among men. <a href="http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/17/9/2325.abstract" style="color: #666699;" title="The study. ">One study</a> found that taller men were at slightly higher risk for aggressive prostate cancer. In May, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that height differences between men and women may help explain why men have an overall greater risk of developing cancer in non-sex specific organs like kidneys and lungs. <a href="http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/05/24/jnci.djt127.extract" style="color: #666699;" title="Study abstract. ">That study, of 65,000 men and women</a>, showed that sex differences in height may explain a third to a half of a man’s excess cancer risk compared to women.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Height can be influenced by a number of factors beyond genetics. The amount and type of foods consumed in childhood can influence height, and childhood nutrition may also play some role in cancer risk. A higher circulating level of a protein called insulin-like growth factor, which can be influenced by factors like exercise, stress, body mass index and nutrition, is also associated with both increased height and an increased cancer risk.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The data for the latest analysis were collected from the Women’s Health Initiative, the largest-ever study of postmenopausal women. The researchers identified 20,928 women who had received a cancer diagnosis during the 12-year study period. The data set included not only the woman’s height but also her age, weight, education, smoking habits, alcohol consumption and whether she used hormone therapy. This allowed the scientists to control for other factors that could influence cancer risk and more closely determine the strength of the association with height.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
They found that for every 4-inch change in height, there was a 13 percent increase in risk for developing any type of cancer. The cancers most strongly associated with height were cancers of the kidney, rectum, thyroid and blood. Risk for those cancers increased by 23 to 29 percent for every 4-inch increase in height.</div>

We all at some point in our lives suffered from Headache Pain or some kind of Tension. I am fortunate enough to have never experienced a migraine, but I know many people do on a daily basis. Migraine sufferers or even just the common headaches/tensions may be able to benefit from these remedies. </div>

Utilizing something spicy may not sound headache helpful, but cayenne is somewhat revered in the kingdom of natural remedies to treat pain and inflammation. The secret behind its success lies in an ingredient called capsaicin, which inhibits something in our body that is one of the main elements in pain perception called Substance P. In short, Substance P is part of what makes us feel pain, and the capsaicin depletes it. Numerous studies, the first in 1998 in The Clinical Journal of Pain, support that when applied topically to the nasal passages; people experience a significant decrease in the severity of their headaches, all thanks to capsaicin.</div>

Instead of popping a pill when you get a headache, toss back some almonds. For everyday tension-type headaches, almonds can be a natural remedy and a healthier alternative to other medicine. It acts as a pain reliever because it contains something called salicin, which is also an agent in popular over the counter killers. Try eating a handful or two of these wholesome nuts when you feel the ache start to set in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Headaches, particularly migraines, can be relieved through the use of the feverfew plant. When a migraine is in the works your blood vessels are changing, and theories suggest that the vessels in your head are expanding and pressing on nerves. Feverfew has been confirmed to relax the tension/constrict blood vessels, easing the painful pressure. It also reduces inflammation and pain overall with a substance called parthenolide, which has results similar to taking a daily aspirin, but without the side effects.</div>

In addition to food, water, and air, sleep is the one thing we truly can't live without. But experts say more and more women are falling short on shut-eye, and staring at the ceiling all night isn't just frustrating—it can also be life threatening. Studies show that one in six fatal car accidents are caused by sleep-deprived drivers, and according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), the 40 million Americans who now suffer from sleep disorders are at higher risk for a slew of serious health issues. Here, what's behind the insomnia epidemic, plus fast-acting solutions for getting quality sleep.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">The Vitamin Z Deficiency</strong></div>

A growing number of nocturnal ailments are robbing women of critical slumber. To date, there are about 90 official sleep disorders, the three most common being insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and sleep apnea, a potentially life-threatening disorder in which people stop breathing during sleep, says Philip Westbrook, M.D., former president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
New research has shed light on why sleep problems are skyrocketing. As with many health issues, stress is to blame. "Thanks to the economy, there's been a big increase in stress, especially in women," says Alan Lankford, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Sleep Disorders Center of Georgia. "And stress can have a huge impact on falling and staying asleep." When you're mentally keyed up at night, your body pumps out the stress hormone cortisol, which acts like an adrenaline shot that prevents snoozing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Also contributing to sleepless nights is a genuinely modern double threat: overactive minds and underactive bodies. Thanks to our coffee culture, people tend to suck down jolts of energy well into the afternoon. "Any kind of caffeine, even the small amounts in hot chocolate and candy bars, can impair your sleep if ingested after 2 p.m.," says James Maas, Ph.D., coauthor of <em>Sleep for Success! Everything You Must Know About Sleep But Are Too Tired to Ask</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Artificial blue light from a television or computer is another powerful mental stimulant that blocks production of the sleep hormone melatonin. So fiddling with your iPad or watching <em>Conan</em> within an hour of bedtime signals your brain to stay alert—and awake. This might not be such a big deal if we got off our butts more often. "Women evolved to be physically active from morning to night," says Westbrook.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"But today's desk-bound woman, even one who regularly hits the gym, still doesn't get the exercise her body was built for, and ample exercise is crucial for good sleep."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

A solid third of your life should be spent in slumber, and not just so you can recover from those happy hours gone wild. Sleep is critical for overall health, says Maas, "and people are starting to realize it's a necessity, not a luxury." As you snooze, your body repairs errant cells, builds bone and muscle, consolidates memories, and stores up energy for the days, weeks, and years ahead. Sleep is so important, in fact, that some doctors consider how much you get to be a vital sign, on par with body temperature and blood pressure, says Lankford.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When you're spent, your healthy habits tend to disappear. Fatigue makes the body crave a quick hit of energy—otherwise known as a high-calorie carb-fest. (Ever hit a fast-food drive-through after a rough night?) Going to the gym, a smarter pick-me-up, can seem about as doable as taking a trip to Mars, which is why nearly 50 percent of women report skipping exercise when they're beat, according to the NSF.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Habitually skimping on shut-eye can also lead to chronic health problems or worsen preexisting ailments. "Sleep deprivation is cumulative," says Lankford.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"If someone needs eight hours a night and gets only six every night for a week, by Friday she will be functioning on sleep debt." Long term, that can spell malfunctioning hormones that pave the way for increased risks of depression, heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, type 2 diabetes, and breast and colorectal cancers. (Breast cancer, for example, has been linked to high levels of estrogen and low levels of melatonin; production of both of these hormones is affected when you're sleep deprived.)</div>

Tossing and turning night after night can make a person desperate enough to storm her doc's office. But instead of searching for the root causes of insomnia, many physicians simply whip out their prescription pads. "Until recently, many doctors were not trained in sleep treatment in med school," says Maas. "Of the 90 or so sleep disorders, most physicians can name around four. Many hand over pills because they don't know how else to solve the problem." To wit, a whopping 60 million sleep prescriptions were filled in 2009, according to research firm IMS Health.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
All this pill popping has ushered in a new set of problems. For one thing, some sleep drugs are addictive, especially older ones such as benzodiazepines. Even the new class of nonbenzos can be habit forming, says sleep doctor Shelby Freedman Harris, Psy.D., director of behavioral sleep medicine at Montefiore Medical Center's Sleep-Wake Disorders Center in New York City. "Though people are not hooked on them physiologically, they can develop a psychological dependence and think they'll never sleep if they don't take a pill," she says. Rare but scary side effects include things like memory loss and sleepwalking, sleep driving, or sleep sex. Plus, says Westbrook, no studies show what extended use of these drugs does to your body.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"The bottom line is that prescription sleeping pills are a short-term solution," says Maas. Simply put, drugs may be a godsend for temporary insomnia, but continuous use could be dangerous.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"Taking a pill won't get to the underlying issue," says Westbrook. Most frightening of all, "insomnia can be a symptom of depression, and depressed patients who take sleeping pills have an increased risk of suicide." Likewise, sleep apnea, when treated with Rx sleep meds, can turn fatal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Put Sleep Issues to Rest</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
A safer and more effective cure for sleep problems lies in improving what doctors call sleep hygiene, a combination of natural snooze-inducing practices. Clean up your slumber routine with these tricks:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Stick to a regular schedule. </strong>"Routine is so important," says Maas. "You have one biological clock—not one for the workweek and one for the weekend. You need to synchronize it and go to sleep around the same time every day." Changing up your snooze schedule confuses your brain's sleep center and promotes restless nights.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Keep things cool.</strong> When you nod off, your core body temperature drops by about a degree and a half, says Lankford. Encourage the process by setting your bedroom thermostat to around 68°F. If you still feel hot at night, you could be smothering yourself under a comforter that's too warm, so switch to a lighter one. Another trick: Take a hot bath before bed. As your body cools, it transitions more easily into sleep mode once you lie down.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Don't be afraid of the dark.</strong> Artificial light messes with your internal clock and acts as a stimulant, inhibiting the flow of melatonin. "An hour before bed, turn off your iPad or computer, and don't text or watch TV," says Harris. And by all means, stop watching the clock! Not only do digital versions give off a melatonin-disrupting glow, but watching 20 minutes tick by can lead to more hours of sleepless anxiety.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Exercise earlier.</strong> Working out soothes insomnia-fueling stress and eventually lowers your body's built-in thermostat, a necessary pre-sleep step, explains Robert Oexman, D.C., director of the Sleep to Live Institute in Joplin, Missouri. Just finish off your cardio at least four hours before bed—any later and your body temp will still be too high, keeping you awake.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Try some pillow talk. If adopting the sleep-hygiene guidelines above doesn't leave you well rested, you may want to look into cognitive behavioral therapy, in which you learn to challenge, then change, your negative sleep-related thoughts, says Harris. Acupuncture, massage, meditation, or simply taking a series of slow, deep breaths before bed may also help soothe you into sleep. If your insomnia sticks around for more than three weeks, seek out a doctor who is trained in sleep medicine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Less Sleep, More Pounds</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The reason you can't lose weight may lie between the sheets. The less you sleep, the more of the appetite-revving chemical ghrelin your body makes, and the lower your output of leptin, the hormone that signals you're full, says Lee A. Surkin, M.D. This weight-gain double whammy leaves you craving fatty, salty, carb-filled foods, making it practically impossible to pass up that high-calorie breakfast sandwich.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Plenty of women get up before dawn to slip in a workout. But if they aren't going to bed early enough, their weight-loss efforts may be in vain. A study in the <em>Annals of Internal Medicine</em> found that sleep-deprived people on low-cal diets lost 55 percent less body fat than those who were well rested. What they did shed, sadly, was lean muscle mass.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Preliminary studies show that nighttime exposure to light—e.g., the kind your computer, cell phone, or TV emits—may lead to obesity. Melatonin, your body's sleep-inducing hormone, is extra-sensitive to any kind of glow. Even barely there lights can disrupt melatonin production, leaving you wide awake and more likely to raid your secret candy stash.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">The Stages of Sleep</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Stage 1</strong> straddles the line between alert and asleep.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Stage 2</strong> is when your body temp cools and you're oblivious to your surroundings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Stages 3 and 4 </strong>send you into deeper levels of sleep. Your breathing slows, your blood pressure drops, and your muscles relax.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You then move into rapid eye movement (REM) sleep for anywhere from five to 40 minutes at a time. "In REM sleep, the brain is awake but you're unaware of your surroundings, unconscious in one sense but totally conscious in another," explains Philip Westbrook, M.D. The stage occurs every 90 minutes throughout the night, and it's during REM that you have your most vivid dreams.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Once you've snoozed your way through each level, you typically go from REM right back into stage two. It all tapers off in the a.m., when your body releases cortisol to help you shrug off sleepiness as you open your eyes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">What Your Sleep Style Says About You (And Your Health)</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Do you opt for the full fetal position in bed, or are you the sleeper who is invariably splayed out as if about to make snow angels with the top sheet? Although we may get feedback from the person we share a bed with, most of us don't give a second thought to which way our bodies lie after we slip off into dreamland. But according to one sleep expert, the position you prefer during slumber says a lot about your personality... and your health. Here, three of the most common poses, and what they say about you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Stomach</strong> If you prefer a prone position (lying nearly facedown), you're likely a perfectionist who is compulsive, persistent, and goal oriented, says psychiatrist Samuel Dunkell, M.D., a sleep expert in New York City. These qualities may be good for your career, but they don't do your body any favors. Sleeping on your stomach can twist your neck into an awkward position, put excess pressure on your spine, and make it more difficult to inhale, says Lee A. Surkin, M.D. To avoid waking up all achy, gently nudge yourself into sleeping in a fetal pose by lying on your side with one pillow between your knees and another behind your back.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Back</strong> Staring straight up at the ceiling can signal an adventurous, confident, and receptive personality, says Dunkell. Catching Z's on your back also keeps pressure off your jaw, which is crucial for people with painful temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. But back sleeping triggers undue stress on your airway, so it's a bad idea for snorers. If you're a noisy breather, try the pillow trick explained above or buy a full-body pillow that will keep you on your side.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">Side</strong> Some 73 percent of women and 50 percent of men spend the night on their sides. Most curl into a semi-fetal pose, with their knees just slightly bent, says Dunkell. According to his research, such people tend to be compromising and appeasing, whereas those who snooze in full fetal (with their knees practically hugged to their chest) are introspective and intense. Healthwise, sleeping on either side curtails snoring, and resting on your left side keeps your stomach active and eases heartburn, according to the <em>Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="color: #eb790a; font-style: inherit;">The Broken Marriage Bed</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Don't let your need for quality Z's tear you and your mate apart. One in four couples nod off in different bedrooms because of sheet-sharing pitfalls. Avoid that fate by following proper sleep hygiene and trying these strategies:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The average person moves 65 times a night, says James Maas, Ph.D. Invest in a mattress that's big enough to keep you from feeling each other flail around. Also, try using two separate comforters or blankets to avoid a tug-of-war.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
If snoring is an issue, the snorer should first try nasal strips and sleeping on their side. If that doesn't work, hit the pharmacy for silicone earplugs, which mold to the shape of the ear and cancel out up to 50 percent of noise, says Shelby Freedman Harris, Psy.D. (Consistent heavy snoring should be checked out by a doctor, who can prescribe treatment that will help keep things quiet.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
People may say that sleep is the new sex, says Maas, but one can actually lead to the other. Your body releases feel-good hormones, stress, and tension during orgasm, which makes you fall asleep faster and more soundly. Just sayin'.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

Japan's Jiroemon Kimura, who had been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's oldest living person and the oldest man ever, died Wednesday of natural causes. He was 116.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
Kimura, of Kyotango, Japan, was born April 19, 1897. Officials in Kyotango said he died in a local hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment for pneumonia.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
According to Guinness, Kimura was the first man in history to have lived to 116 years old.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
Kimura became the oldest man ever on Dec. 28, 2012, at the age of 115 years, 253 days, breaking the record set by Christian Mortensen, a Danish immigrant to the United States, whose life spanned from 1882-1998.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
The title of oldest living person is now held by another Japanese, 115-year-old Misao Okawa, of Osaka.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
Okawa, who was born March 5, 1898, is also the world's oldest living woman.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
"Jiroemon Kimura was an exceptional person," said Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records. "As the only man to have ever lived for 116 years — and the oldest man whose age has been fully authenticated — he has a truly special place in world history."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
Kyotango officials said Kimura's funeral would be held Friday.</div>

"Mr. Kimura was and will always be a treasure to our town, to our country and to our world," said Mayor Yasushi Nakayama.</div>

Some folks do not even receive vital medication because the cost is too high for the insurance company to cover it! In the UK for example, a liver cancer treatment costs £3,500 per month. In India, the same treatment costs £100 per month.<br />
An old adage came to mind when I realized this "an ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure". It rings so true and makes so much sense to have the right diet/vitamins coupled with a healthy exercise plan to keep the doctor away.<br />
With multi-billion dollar companies working against the average Joe to patent ever good thing we have out there... Its important to stay healthy and secure. <br />

<span class="byline" style="display: block;">I think it is interesting that there are different ways to do yoga. It is great that yoga can adapt to whatever you like. Say, you like hip-hop, you can do hip-hop yoga, which suites your interest in yoga and hip-hop. It is also cool that you can do yoga in the water, such as paddle board yoga. I think I would want to try yoga in the water because it seems very relaxing. I have never taken a yoga class before, but I plan on taking one during Fall 2013 semester at my school.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The bendy brilliance attained by practicing yoga regularly has become a treasure sought after by many Americans. Hindu monks brought the 5,000-year-old practice to the West in the late 19th century, and by the mid-1980s, yoga was heralded as a way to cultivate strength, mindfulness and calm. And as yoga has gained popularity, newfangled ways of practicing have emerged.</div>

Love the ocean? Had a few too many Appletinis last night? Want to be surrounded by "bro" energy? There's a yoga class for you.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
It seems only natural that people who practice yoga will combine it with other interests.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"Yoga is constantly evolving," said Kaitlin Quistgaard, editor in chief of Yoga Journal. "Variety gives people an opportunity to approach yoga from different perspectives."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Here's a look at a few bends and twists from traditional yoga.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Hip-hop yoga</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Want to hold side crow to some classic Notorious B.I.G.? At YogaHop, with studios in Santa Monica and Pasadena, you can do just that.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Blaring hip-hop, rock and pop music combine with a high-energy vinyasa flow practice. With a lightning bolt as its logo and brightly colored walls and TV screens, the studio is not what one might imagine as the neighborhood yoga class.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Nevertheless, co-owner Matthew Reyes, 44, has practiced yoga for 15 years, but he has taught spinning to booming pump-it-up music. He began to wonder, "How can I make a class so efficient that it has an element of all of these things?"</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Six years ago, Reyes founded YogaHop, a practice that combines traditional poses, mainstream music and an intense workout.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Dian Evans, a family nurse practitioner and clinical assistant professor at Emory School of Medicine's School of <a class="taxInlineTagLink" href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/health/medical-specialization/nursing-HEMSP000015.topic" id="HEMSP000015" style="color: #666666; text-decoration: none;" title="Nursing">Nursing</a>who has studied the influence of yoga on chronic <a class="taxInlineTagLink" href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/health/symptoms/back-pain-HEISY00006.topic" id="HEISY00006" style="color: #666666; text-decoration: none;" title="Back Pain">back pain</a>, wondered about the collision of hip-hop and yoga.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"It's fun to move your breath with sound, but I don't know how you can be doing yoga to hip-hop music and breathe in a controlled fashion," Evans said.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
But Reyes countered that the end goal for all types of yoga is the same. "Yoga is a big tree with many branches. All the branches have something to offer. Our yoga and a traditional type of yoga all get to the same finish line; we just get there in a dynamic and fun way."</div>

<strong>Paddle board yoga</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Stand-up paddle boarding has grown exponentially popular in recent years. So why not try some yoga while balancing on a paddle board? That was Sarah Tiefenthaler's logic after taking her yoga-teaching course in Costa Rica and getting introduced to paddle boarding soon after her certification.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"I took the board out every week, and I just started putting together sequences while on the board," said Tiefenthaler, 30, of Los Angeles.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
YOGAqua was soon born.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Tiefenthaler said the practice starts off slow, and the class is always held in calm waters. Students have about half an hour to get acquainted with the water and their board, and then their boards are anchored, so there is no worry that they will float away during the class. People shouldn't hesitate to try the class if they've never been on the board, she said. They'll catch on.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The practice works the core muscles even more than a typical practice because of the need to balance and stabilize, said Tiefenthaler.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
