Younger Adults Less Likely to Treat High Blood Pressure Younger adults are less likely than older people to know they have high blood pressure and to treat the condition, increasing their risk for heart attacks and strokes, a U.S. study suggests. For the study, researchers examined data from more than 41,000 participants in eight national health surveys from 1999 to 2014. Their findings, extended to the general population, suggest that by the end of the study period, only half of the 6.7 million young adults aged 18 to 39 with high blood pressure received treatment and only 40 percent got their blood pressure, or hypertension, under control. By comparison, 70 percent of middle-aged adults aged 40 to 59 and 83 percent of adults aged 60 and older with high blood pressure got it treated, and more than half of these older patients got the condition under control. “Hypertension awareness, treatment, and control have improved in young adults in recent years, but not enough to cl...

Here’s Why Doctors Have Stopped Prescribing Metformin We are quickly approaching the day when people diagnosed with Type II Diabetes can kiss goodbye to their expensive pills and annoying needles and test strips. This is thanks to a breakthrough from a Sri Lankan researcher, a specialist in endocrinology with 23 years’ experience, that is going to change everything we thought we knew about how to treat Type II Diabetes.. . No more needles! Would you be willing to try a "Delicious Dish"or even a "Miracle Smoothie" that could solve the problem of diabetes naturally?   Mr. Michel Dempsey, in a brave (and lucky) attempt to save his wife from diabetes discovered a Sri Lankan tribe that has 0 cases of diabetes or pre diabetes. Against all odds he was able, with the help of a Sri Lankan researcher from the university of Peradeniya, to develop a natural treatment to reverse diabetes using the exact same ingredients the tribe has been consuming for decades....

The proliferation of Fitbits, sleep trackers, and dieting apps have made it possible for us to closely track and measure just about all things wellness—and to share the results on social media. The outcome is that many of us take for granted the idea that we should strive to be the “best,” healthiest version of ourselves, while outdoing everyone else.But this is the wrong mindset. If you want to achieve your health goals, you shouldn’t focus on being the best. You should focus on being the best at getting better. I learned this firsthand through my experience with running. When I began pounding the pavement about 10 years ago, all I wanted was to finish a half-marathon. But I quickly realized that if I wanted to be a lifelong runner, this specific goal set me up for failure. If I finished the race, I had no other athletic goals to work toward, so I might well stop running entirely. And if I failed to finish the race, I’d feel dejected—and more likely to quit.    So ...

Stainless steel sinks may up your risk of legionnaires’ disease A combination of rusty water and stainless steel taps, or faucets, can put people at risk of life-threatening legionnaires’ disease. It’s already known that rust particles in a water system, which can come from iron pipes, encourage the growth of  Legionella  bacteria. These bacteria cause legionnaires’ disease, which can involve headaches, muscle pain, fever and confusion. The condition has been on the rise in Europe: in 2015, there were 7000 known cases, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) thinks there may be many more that went unreported. Now it seems that the protective coating on stainless steel fixtures – currently a firm favourite for kitchen and bathroom sinks – can degrade over time, encouraging the growth of  Legionella  species. To better understand how the material of sinks can influence legionnaires’, Wilco van der Lugt, a safety engineer w...

Young adults, especially men, fall behind in high blood pressure treatment and control DALLAS, Aug. 28, 2017 - Young adults, particularly men, lag behind middle-aged and older adults in awareness and treatment of high blood pressure, putting this population at an increased risk for heart attack and stroke, according to new research in the American Heart Association's journal   Hypertension . High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for heart attack and stroke and is also a significant public health burden, costing the United States about $110 billion in direct and indirect costs in 2015, according to American Heart Association estimates. American Heart Association guidelines define blood pressure as normal at less than 120/80 and high blood pressure as 140/90 or above. "While hypertension awareness, treatment and control have improved overall since the early 2000s, all three remain worse in young adults - those aged 18-39," said senior study author Andre...

HEALTH STUDIES     AUGUST 27, 2017 CAN CHEMICALS IN YOGA MATS MAKE WOMEN INFErtile? A new study suggests that there might be a link between products such as yoga mats and infertility among women — at least when it comes to the chemicals found in these products. The study, which involved researchers from Harvard University and the University of Michigan, took a look at 211 women who had checked into the Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center for in vitro fertilization screening. According to  Forbes , the researchers evaluated the women for exposure to organophosphate flame retardants (PFRs), which can be found in products that use polyurethane foam, such as car seats, sofas, computer chairs, and yoga mats. Infertility, as it turned out, was a huge risk of exposure to PFRs, as women with these chemicals in their urine had a 40 percent smaller chance of successfully giving birth, or even getting pregnant. The  New York Daily N...

Type 2 diabetes: Sponge implants may reduce blood sugar and weight gain Scientists have found that by injecting polymer sponges into the fat tissue of patients with type 2 diabetes, communication between fat and the rest of the body can be restarted, thereby preventing weight gain. In a search for new treatments for type 2 diabetes, researchers have discovered that implanting polymer sponges into fat tissue might offer a way forward. So suggests new research from the University of South Carolina (USC) in Columbia that is featuring at the American chemical society 254th National Meeting & Exposition, held in Washington, D.C. The team found that 3 weeks after receiving polymer sponge implants in their fatty abdomens, obese mice with type 2 diabetes fed on a high-fat diet gained less weight and had lower levels of blood sugar than untreated equivalent mice. Diabetes is a long-lasting disease that develops when the body either does not make...
