Exercise in Youth Keeps Hypertension Risk Low: Benefits extended past age 30, study found

Folate Shields Fetus Against Chemical in Plastics "Fetal exposure to a chemical in plastics can affect infant health, a new study shows, but folic acid, as well as genistein, an active ingredient in soy, may both help protect babies from those effects. The Duke University research team demonstrated that exposing baby mice in the womb to bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used in most plastics, changed the physical appearance of the mice, although not their genes. The results demonstrate that chemical exposures during pregnancy can affect the way genes are expressed, the researchers say. "

Folic Acid Fortification Cuts Babies' Heart Risks "Canadian public health measures that spurred folic acid intake among women may have helped cut the rate of congenital heart disease in newborns, researchers report."

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."
