Allure and Doubt Regarding Vitamin D Story

Allure and Doubt Regarding Vitamin D

It's long been known that vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and thus good for bone and teeth health. But research now also suggests a role for vitamin D in fending off such chronic diseases as diabetes, immune disorders and cancer.

But federal scientists are cautious about suddenly touting the vitamin as a cure-all that should be taken in mega-doses by people of all ages and ethnicities. (Read more about Allure and Doubt Regarding Vitamin D)

Seven Anxiety-Fighting Foods Story

Seven Anxiety-Fighting Foods

Step aside, Prozac and Valium, and make way for some natural alternatives that, while they might not do as dramatic a job at relieving anxiety, certainly have the anxiety-relieving benefit that they have no nasty side effects whatever. Berries. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries - any berries at all are loaded with vitamin C and other beneficial plant chemicals that counteract the human stress hormone cortisol. And the carbohydrates they contain are the good, complex kind. The body breaks them down into sugar slowly, so you don't experience a blood-sugar crash.

Mechanics of Sleep Apnea Show Why It's Perilous Story

Mechanics of Sleep Apnea Show Why It's Perilous

Sleep apnea – in which a sleeping person repeatedly ceases breathing for intervals – restricts the brain’s blood flow and raises its blood pressure, eventually disrupting the brain’s ability to control these dynamics and shield itself from damage, a recent study showed.
   
The study, published by the American Physiological Society in the Journal of Applied Physiology, was performed by researchers at the Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn. The results revealed why America’s 18 million sleep apnea sufferers are at much greater risk than others for stroke and for dying in their sleep.

More Cardiac Death in Women Using Antidepressants Story

More Cardiac Death in Women Using Antidepressants

Antidepressant use among women is associated with greater risk for sudden cardiac death, a recent study revealed.
   
But the reason for the link is unclear, and the fact doesn’t suggest that antidepressants should be avoided, the scientists said. In fact, it may be that antidepressant use is just a sign of depression, and the real causal link is between depression and heart problems. The report said women with clinical depression had more than twice the risk of experiencing sudden cardiac death.

Going to Work Sick Linked to Long-Term Leave

Habitually working while sick, an increasingly common practice, can land a person in a situation in which his risk of having to take long-term sick leave is markedly increased, according to a recent study. The researchers, who published their work in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, enrolled nearly 12,000 Danes in their investigation.
