Be thin to cut cancer, study says "Even those who are not overweight should slim down if they want to cut their risk of cancer, a major international study has claimed. The World Cancer Research Fund carried out the largest ever inquiry into lifestyle and cancer, and issued several stark recommendations. They include not gaining weight as an adult, avoiding sugary drinks and alcohol, and not eating bacon or ham. Everyone must also aim to be as thin as possible without becoming underweight."
Exercise To Lower Cholesterol "One way exercise can help lower cholesterol is by helping you lose -- or maintain -- weight. Being overweight tends to increase the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in your blood, the kind of lipoprotein that’s been linked to heart disease."
Exercise Training Amount and Intensity Effects on Metabolic Syndrome (from Studies of a Targeted Risk Reduction Intervention through Defined Exercise) (The American Journal of Cardiology 2007) "In conclusion, a modest amount of moderate-intensity exercise in the absence of dietary changes significantly improved MS and thus supported the recommendation that adults get 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day. A higher amount of vigorous exercise had greater and more widespread benefits. Finally, there was an indication that moderate-intensity may be better than vigorous-intensity exercise for improving MS."
Fish Really May Be Brain Food "A Norwegian study of more than 2,000 elderly people found that those who ate more than 10 grams per day of fish had markedly better test scores and a lower prevalence of poor cognitive performance than those who ate less than 10 grams of fish a day. The more fish a person ate, the greater the effect. People who ate about 75 grams a day of fish had the best test scores."
Cognitive performance among the elderly and dietary fish intake: the Hordaland Health Study. (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007) "CONCLUSIONS: In the elderly, a diet high in fish and fish products is associated with better cognitive performance in a dose-dependent manner."
Dietary patterns and risk of dementia (NEUROLOGY 2007) "Conclusion: Frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables, fish, and omega-3 rich oils may decrease the risk of dementia and Alzheimer disease, especially among ApoE 4 noncarriers."
Health Tip: The Benefits of Omega-3s
Higher Folate Intake Linked to Reduced Alzheimer's Risk
How Exercise Lowers Cardiovascular Risk
One-year follow-up of a therapeutic lifestyle intervention targeting cardiovascular disease risk. (CMAJ. 2007) "The findings of this study support previous research demonstrating the efficacy of interventions that have applied evidence-based recommendations for reduction of multiple cardiovascular risk factors, including smoking cessation, physical activity, weight management, nutrition and stress management in combination with monitoring of treatment programs."
Organic Food is Safer and Healthier, Researchers Say "A EU-funded investigation into the difference between organic and ordinary farming has shown that organic foods have far more nutritional value. Up to 40 per cent more antioxidants, which scientists believe can cut the risk of heart disease and cancer, could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in those conventionally farmed."
Physical Activity in Middle-Aged Adults Reduces Risks of Functional Impairment Independent of Its Effect on Weight (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society 2007) "CONCLUSION: Excess bodyweight is a risk factor for impaired physical function in middle-aged and older people. Physical activity is protective of impaired physical functioning in this age group in subjects with recommended weight, overweight, and obesity. Older adults should be encouraged to engage in appropriate levels of physical activity irrespective of their weight."
Save Your Life With Fruits and Vegetables "Diet is estimated to contribute to the development of a third of all cancers, and many experts believe that increasing fruit and vegetable intake is the single most important step, save giving up smoking, on the road to improved health. Sue Baic, a registered dietician with the British Dietetic Association, explains: "Fruit and vegetables are vital because they contain antioxidant vitamins that mop up free radicals, which are chemicals from the environment and food that can damage DNA in our cells." Fruit and vegetables have also been shown to reduce significantly the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, high blood pressure and even dementia."
Combined Effect of Low-Risk Dietary and Lifestyle Behaviors in Primary Prevention of Myocardial Infarction in Women (Arch Intern Med. 2007) "Conclusion Most MIs in women may be preventable by consuming a healthy diet and moderate amounts of alcohol, being physically active, not smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight."
Sunlight may cut breast cancer risk for some women "Exposure to sunlight may reduce the risk of advanced breast cancer in women with light skin pigmentation, according to the results of a population-based study appearing in the American Journal of Epidemiology. 'We believe that sunlight helps reduce women's risk of breast cancer because the body manufactures the active form of vitamin D from exposure to sunlight,' lead author Dr. Esther M. John, from the Northern California Cancer Center in Fremont, said in a statement. 'It is possible that these effects were observed only among light-skinned women because sun exposure produces less vitamin D among women with naturally darker pigmentation.' "
Vermont tops rankings of healthy states "Vermont has a low prevalence of obesity, a low rate of preventable hospitalizations and few children living in poverty, according to the report. Sharon Moffatt, commissioner of Vermont's Department of Health, attributes its success to a "full system" approach, where a range of groups, including community, public policy and health care providers, work together to change unhealthy behaviors. For example, to combat smoking, phone lines to counsel smokers to quit were established, lawmakers worked to ban smoking in bars and restaurants, and doctors encouraged their patients to stop or avoid smoking. On the other side of the spectrum, Mississippi is the unhealthiest state. Although it has a high public health spending per capita, it also has high rates of obesity and children in poverty."
Reseachers: Rice Eaters Are Healthy Eaters "People who eat rice have more nutritious diets that are higher in 12 essential vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, potassium and vitamin C and lower in saturated fat and added sugar, than the diets of non-rice eaters, according to a new study presented at the American Dietetic Association Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo 2007 (FNCE) taking place in Philadelphia this week. The study also shows that rice eaters have a lower risk of high blood pressure and of being overweight, and may have a reduced risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome."
Small Amounts Of Exercise Can Lower Blood Pressure
Spinach, eggs may ward off blindness "Age-related macular degeneration affects 1.2 million Americans, mostly after age 65, and the irreversible condition gets gradually worse, robbing victims of the center of their vision. Many people may be susceptible due to genetic factors, while smoking is known to heighten the risk. The two nutrients, lutein and zeaxanthin, are both carotenoids — compounds that give many fruits and vegetables a yellow color."
Study Rates Heart Health of Popular Diet Plans "Diets that emphasize a variety of fruits and vegetables scored better than those with a heavy protein focus. The Ornish diet plan came out on top with the most potential to prevent heart disease risk factors. The Atkins diet came in last, lagging behind the Zone and Weight Watchers."
The 10 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating
Cardiovascular and endothelial effects of fish oil supplementation in healthy volunteers. (J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther. 2007) "FO supplementation in healthy subjects is associated with improved endothelial function and decreased resting HR."
Consumption of fruit and berries is inversely associated with carotid atherosclerosis in elderly men. (Br J Nutr. 2007) "These findings suggest that consumption of fruit and berries may be protective against carotid atherosclerosis in elderly men at high risk of CVD."
Get hooked on to seafood "AUSTRALIAN children need five times more fish in their diet, an international team of nutrition and health experts says. They say a major dietary shortfall of omega-3 fatty acids is contributing to serious health problems in children."
Lifestyle changes cut breast cancer risk
New study shows Concord grape juice has a heart-healthy effect not yet reported with red wine "Dr. Valérie Schini-Kerth and a team of researchers of the Université Louis Pasteur de Strasbourg, France, found that Concord grape juice stimulated the production of nitric oxide in endothelial cells, providing a vasorelaxation effect. It is known that nitric oxide is important in the body’s natural system for maintaining healthy, flexible blood vessels and helps support healthy blood pressure. Researchers further discovered that Concord grape juice produced this relaxation effect by stimulating the same chemical reactions in the arteries that are activated by red wine. The beneficial effect provided by Concord grape juice lasted up to six hours, whereas this extended effect has not been reported with red wine. This research suggests that the benefits of drinking Concord purple grape juice may last long after finishing the juice."
Tips to build your muscle mass at any age "In August, the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association updated their physical activity guidelines, encouraging Americans to strength-train at least twice a week and work out all of the major muscle groups on top of regular cardio activity. They now recommend that adults perform eight to 12 reps of eight to 10 exercises on the chest, back, shoulders, upper legs, lower legs and arms, via either free weights, machines or weight-bearing activities. Adults 65 and older should strength-train two to three times a week, doing more reps with lighter weights, taking into account their fitness levels beforehand. "
The Health Benefits of Tea "Indeed, tea is considered a superfood -- whether it's black, green, white, or oolong tea. All those tea types come from the same tea plant, Camellia sinensis. The leaves are simply processed differently. Green tea leaves are not fermented; they are withered and steamed. Black tea and oolong tea leaves undergo crushing and fermenting processes. All teas from the Camellia plant are rich in polyphenols, antioxidants that detoxify cell-damaging free radicals in the body. Tea has about eight to 10 times the polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables. … Catechins, a type of disease-fighting flavonoid and antioxidant, are the keys to tea's health benefits. Here's a tip: The longer you steep the tea, the more flavonoids you'll get in your brew. To get the best tea benefit, some studies suggest drinking three cups each day to cut heart disease risk. Since iced tea is diluted, it's a lighter source of flavonoids -- but it still counts! … Get a clear glass gallon-sized jar: The glass lets the sun in, and doesn't give tea any strange odors or tastes that come from plastic. Use black tea: 16 teabags to make one gallon (16 cups) of sun tea. Find a sunny spot on your patio for your sun tea jar. Let it soak up the sun's rays for about three hours. Remove tea bags."
The impact of resistance exercise on the cognitive function of the elderly. (Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2007) "CONCLUSIONS: Moderate- and high-intensity resistance exercise programs had equally beneficial effects on cognitive functioning."
Commuting physical activity is favourably associated with biological risk factors for cardiovascular disease. (Eur J Epidemiol. 2007) "Conclusion Commuting physical activity, independent of leisure time physical activity, was associated with a healthier level of most of the cardiovascular risk factors. An increase in commuting physical activity in the population may therefore reduce the incidence of CVD."
Do We Really Know What Makes Us Healthy?
Exercise and the immune system. (Clin Sports Med. 2007) "Regarding the direct effect of exercise on the immune system, moderate exercise seems to exert a protective effect, whereas repeated bouts of strenuous exercise can result in immune dysfunction. Understanding the relationship between exercise and infectious disease has important potential implications for public health and for clinicians caring for athletes and athletic teams."
High consumptions of grain, fish, dairy products and combinations of these are associated with a low prevalence of metabolic syndrome. (J Epidemiol Community Health. 2007)
Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D? "Scientists have known for some time about vitamin D's role in helping the body absorb calcium, in maintaining bone density, and in preventing osteoporosis. But new research suggests it may also help protect against chronic diseases such as cancer, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and autoimmune diseases. Yet many adults have low blood levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is not abundant in our usual food choices, so we get most of the vitamin from sun exposure and multivitamins. The problem is that the sun is not a reliable source for everyone."
Turning Back the Clock: Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle in Middle Age (The American Journal of Medicine 2007) "People who newly adopt a healthy lifestyle in middle-age experience a prompt benefit of lower rates of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Strategies to encourage adopting healthy lifestyles should be implemented, especially among people with hypertension, diabetes, or low socioeconomic status."
Vitamin K Essential to a Healthy Lifestyle "At this time, the goal for average daily vitamin K intake is 90 micrograms for women and 120 micrograms for men. But only 27 percent of people in the United States consume that amount, according to a food consumption survey analysis from the Beltsville (Maryland) Human Nutrition Research Center (BHNRC), part of the Agricultural Research Service. … 'Vitamin K intake may be a marker of a healthy diet because it is found mainly in green, leafy vegetables and certain plant oils,' says Booth. 'This could explain associations between low vitamin K intake and risk for heart disease.'"
Exercise may restore some youth to blood vessels "Moderate exercise might help older adults' blood vessels relax, a study has found -- pointing to one reason why exercise lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes. As people age, their blood vessels can become more constricted and less pliable in response to blood flow, a change that contributes to high blood pressure and clogged arteries. But in the new study, older men who took up regular exercise were able to substantially reduce this effect of aging. The findings are good news for sedentary older adults, researchers say, because the benefit required only moderate activity -- namely, taking a walk five times a week."

Olive Oil: Which Type Is Best?
Whole Grain, Bran, and Germ Intake and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study and Systematic Review (PLOS Medicine 2007) "Whole grain intake is inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, and this association is stronger for bran than for germ. Findings from prospective cohort studies consistently support increasing whole grain consumption for the prevention of type 2 diabetes."
Whole- and refined-grain intakes and the risk of hypertension in women (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2007) "Conclusion: Higher whole-grain intake was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension in middle-aged and older women, which suggests a potential role for increasing whole-grain intake in the primary prevention of hypertension and its cardiovascular complications."
Does Running Cause Arthritis? "… possible explanations [less pain for runners]: endorphins, fewer muscular injuries, and the high pain threshold that runners might develop. An Arthritis Foundation paper called "Exercise and Your Arthritis" offers a more direct answer. "The stronger the muscles and tissues around your joints, the better they will be able to support and protect those joints," it says. "If you don't exercise, your muscles become smaller and weaker." … She goes on to say that obesity is a major culprit in the onset of arthritis, and that runners do themselves a lot of good simply by keeping the pounds off. Also, "Runners keep their muscles strong and well-balanced, which helps the joints." … As we age, we naturally experience more aches and pains. However, a long-term study of runners over 50 showed that the runners had a smaller pain increase than a non-running control group. The women runners benefited the most."
Physical Activity and Public Health in Older Adults. Recommendation From the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association (Circulation 2007) "Summary—The recommendation for older adults is similar to the updated ACSM/AHA recommendation for adults, but has several important differences including: the recommended intensity of aerobic activity takes into account the older adult’s aerobic fitness; activities that maintain or increase flexibility are recommended; and balance exercises are recommended for older adults at risk of falls. In addition, older adults should have an activity plan for achieving recommended physical activity that integrates preventive and therapeutic recommendations. The promotion of physical activity in older adults should emphasize moderate-intensity aerobic activity, muscle-strengthening activity, reducing sedentary behavior, and risk management."
Expansion of CMAJ's support for health promotion and disease prevention. (CMAJ. 2007) "The public health mission of CMAJ now has 3 major foci: • to provide evidence-based public health information in a user-friendly fashion for practitioners and health care professionals • to publish high-quality public health and social medicine research articles in a widely read and open-access venue • to provide a forum for the discussion of contentious issues in public health "
How Healthy Living Helps Longevity: Diet, Exercise May Boost Longevity by Keeping the Body Sensitive to Insulin "… the researchers suggest three simple health habits -- moderate daily exercise, calorie restriction, and weight loss -- to help maintain insulin sensitivity and perhaps help longevity."
Diet and Fitness: A Proven Path to Heart Health "Eating healthfully and exercising regularly can sharply lower your risk of death from cardiovascular disease -- the leading cause of death in the United States -- and type 2 diabetes, a major risk factor for heart disease. That's the uplifting word from Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of the Harvard School of Public Health's department of nutrition. … suggests that better lifestyles habits could prevent 80 percent of heart disease and 90 percent of type 2 diabetes. … Willett maintains that staggering reductions in disease risk are achievable -- and with fairly modest changes. For instance, he suggests that switching from highly refined to whole grain breads and cereals is one way to improve your odds against these diseases…. He also recommends eating fish twice a week and choosing from a variety of fish, including tuna, cod and salmon; keeping red meat consumption to a minimum; and eliminating trans fats. Smokers must give up cigarettes to cut their risk for heart disease, too. And even moderate amounts of exercise can make a difference in a person's body mass index, a ratio of weight to height that is useful in assessing whether a person is at a healthy weight."
Physical Activity and Public Health. Updated Recommendation for Adults From the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association (Circulation 2007) "Primary Recommendation—To promote and maintain health, all healthy adults aged 18 to 65 yr need moderate-intensity aerobic (endurance) physical activity for a minimum of 30 min on five days each week or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity for a minimum of 20 min on three days each week. [I (A)] Combinations of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity can be performed to meet this recommendation. [IIa (B)] For example, a person can meet the recommendation by walking briskly for 30 min twice during the week and then jogging for 20 min on two other days. Moderate-intensity aerobic activity, which is generally equivalent to a brisk walk and noticeably accelerates the heart rate, can be accumulated toward the 30-min minimum by performing bouts each lasting 10 or more minutes. [I (B)] Vigorous-intensity activity is exemplified by jogging, and causes rapid breathing and a substantial increase in heart rate. In addition, every adult should perform activities that maintain or increase muscular strength and endurance a minimum of two days each week. [IIa (A)] Because of the dose-response relation between physical activity and health, persons who wish to further improve their personal fitness, reduce their risk for chronic diseases and disabilities or prevent unhealthy weight gain may benefit by exceeding the minimum recommended amounts of physical activity."
Physical Activity Guidelines Updated
Study explains the physiologic benefits of diet and exercise "Insulin sends a vital signal in the body, telling cells to use sugar from the blood. When cells become less sensitive to insulin, which often happens as we age and gain weight, the body makes more insulin to compensate. For a long time, researchers thought that "more insulin signaling was good," … But this insulin is also hammering the brain, and we now think that's probably a bad thing." … Recent studies in the worm C. elegans and in fruit flies have shown that reducing insulin signaling lengthens lifespan. But in mammals, reducing insulin signaling can lead to fatal diabetes. White suspected that the key to explaining this paradox -- and to maximizing both health and longevity -- is to reduce insulin signaling only in the brain. … The easiest method, White says, is old-fashioned diet and exercise. Although obesity and sedentary lifestyles tune down the body's sensitivity to insulin, exercise tunes it back up. Furthermore, eating smaller meals keeps insulin low in the bloodstream, ensuring that less reaches the brain."
That Old Flax Magic—Real or Imaginary? "Bottom line: Flaxseeds and their oil contain beneficial chemicals, but they are not the only sources of ALA or lignans. Walnuts, canola oil, and soybean oil contain ALA. … • Children and pregnant or lactating women should not eat lots of flax because of its potential hormonal effects."
Veggies may help protect men from colon cancer "Eating a moderate amount of vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables, seems to lower a man's risk of developing colorectal cancer, researchers found. "Our results suggest that regular consumption of fruit and vegetables protects against colorectal cancer," study chief Dr. Yikyung Park of the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, told Reuters Health."
Fiber is Fabulous "Most people are surprised to learn that animal products contain absolutely no fiber at all. Since meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy selections make up more than 30 percent of the calories in the typical Western diet-and much of the rest comes from sugars and other refined foods-the result is that most Westerners are getting less than one third of the fiber they need. The good news is that fiber is abundant in all unrefined plant foods. Enjoying a variety of fruits, whole grains, vegetables, and legumes (beans, lentils, and peas) assures a plentiful supply of the many varieties of fiber the body needs."
Habitual Physical Activity and Vascular Aging in a Young to Middle-Age Population at Low Cardiovascular Risk. (Stroke. 2007) "CONCLUSIONS: This study provides cross-sectional evidence that habitual physical activity is inversely related to the age-dependent increase in carotid wall stiffness in a young to middle-age population at low risk."
New AHA Statement Touts Benefits of Resistance Training for Cardiovascular Health " … while aerobic exercise can have moderate effects on percent body fat, compared with merely a small effect of resistance training, resistance training has moderate effects on lean body mass, and major effects on muscle strength, while aerobic exercise has no effect, and minimal effects, respectively. By contrast, both aerobic and resistance exercise produce similarly small effects on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, while aerobic exercise has greater effects than resistance training on triglycerides. Importantly, both forms of exercise can have similar effects on quality of life. Williams pointed out that the importance of resistance training is now fairly well recognized in cardiac rehabilitation programs, but its benefits are less commonly appreciated in primary prevention. He also highlighted the role of resistance training in groups where it has been used the least: in older women, the elderly, and in patients with heart failure."
Some polyunsaturated fats may protect the colon "People with the highest level of omega-3 PUFAs in their diets had 37-percent lower odds of colorectal cancer compared with people with the lowest level. "The omega-3 fatty acids that had the strongest associations were the ones present in oily fish -- eicosapentaenoic acids and docosahexaenoic," … The odds of colorectal cancer was 41 percent lower in people with the highest docosahexaenoic intake and 37 percent lower in those with the highest eicosapentaenoic acids intake, compared with people with the lowest intake of these individual PUFAs."
Japanese women, Icelandic men live longest Japan’s women have topped the world’s longevity ranks for 22 years, something researchers have attributed to their healthy diet and tight social ties, among other factors. … After the Japanese, Taiwanese women are the world’s second longest-lived at 84.6 years, then Spanish and Swiss women at 83.9 years, the report said."
Longterm Endurance Exercise decreases the Antiangiogenic Endostatin Signaling in adipose men aged between 50-60 years. (Br J Sports Med. 2007) "Endurance training may decrease the risk for coronary artery disease. It has been speculated that these effects may be due to an exercise-induced stimulation of angiogenesis. The underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Therefore, we investigated the plasma concentration of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, angiogenic factor) and of endostatin (antiangiogenic factor) in a group of untrained men aged between 50-60 years with obesity using the ELISA technique."
The role of physical activity in producing and maintaining weight loss. (Nat Clin Pract Endocrinol Metab. 2007) "Epidemiologic, cross-sectional, and prospective correlation studies suggest an essential role for physical activity in weight-loss maintenance, and post hoc analysis of prospective trials shows a clear dose-response relationship between physical activity and weight maintenance."
Trimming the waist may trim diabetes, heart risks "People who manage to reduce their waistlines may also lower their risk for diabetes and heart disease, a study suggests. French researchers found that men and women whose waistlines expanded by 3 inches or more over nine years were at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome -- a collection of risk factors, including high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol levels, that raise a person's odds of diabetes and heart disease. In contrast, women who shed just an inch or more from their midsections had a lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome than women whose waistlines stayed the same. What's more, a slimmed-down middle benefited women who already had metabolic syndrome at the study's outset, the researchers report in the journal Diabetes Care. Compared with women who had metabolic syndrome and an unchanged waistline, those who lost an inch or more were nearly four times more likely to no longer have the syndrome at the study's close. "
Group: Weight Training Can Help Elderly "Pumping a little iron can help elderly nursing home residents and heart failure patients gain strength for everyday life, the American Heart Association says, expanding on earlier advice. … Williams said resistance training -- whether it's lifting weights or doing sit-ups -- should be used as a complement to aerobic exercise. … The statement also notes that elderly people and women who suffer from coronary heart disease (a narrowing of the small blood vessels to the heart), or are frail can benefit from workouts including resistance training because they build muscle strength. Resistance weight training includes using one's body for weight resistance by doing things like abdominal crunches to using resistance-cord exercises, dumbbells, wrist weights or weight machines. It's been known for some time that resistance training is good for everyone, from those with chronic diseases to healthy people."
Benefits of salmon eating on traditional and novel vascular risk factors in young, non-obese healthy subjects (Atherosclerosis 2007) "Compared to no-fish, eating salmon significantly decreased systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure by 4%, triglycerides by 15%, and LDL-cholesterol by 7%, and significantly increased HDL-cholesterol by 5% (P < 0.05). The changes in blood pressure and lipids alone with salmon intake predict around a 25% reduction in CHD risk based on the PROCAM risk calculator."
Exercise, exercise, rest, repeat -- how a break can help your workout "Taking a break in the middle of your workout may metabolize more fat than exercising without stopping, according to a recent study in Japan. Researchers conducted the first known study to compare these two exercise methods—exercising continually in one long bout versus breaking up the same workout with a rest period. The findings could change the way we approach exercise."
Fish consumption and early atherosclerosis in middle-aged men. (Metabolism. 2007) "Fish consumption may be protective against early atherosclerosis in middle-aged men, probably through its beneficial effects on inflammation."
