Health Tips of the Week
- People who have been unlucky in love are said to suffer from a "broken heart." A broken heart is an actual medical condition. Broken heart syndrome occurs during highly stressful or emotional times, such as a painful breakup, the death of a spouse or the loss of a job. Broken heart syndrome is known as stress cardiomyopathy. Symptoms are similar to those of a heart attack, including chest pain and difficulty breathing. The good news is that, over time, the symptoms go away. And unlike heart attack patients, people with broken heart syndrome do not suffer lasting damage to their hearts.
- Erectile dysfunction is a precursor to more serious health problems such as heart disease. Getting problems like diabetes under control are more important than your performance in the bedroom.
- A new study from Haifa University shows that with support from the supervisor, the employee is more likely to stay at work and be productive.
- In a surprising finding with significant implications for older women, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and NYU School of Medicine have found that high levels of triglycerides (blood fats) are the strongest risk factor for the most common type of stroke in older women – more of a risk factor than elevated levels of total cholesterol or of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol).
- A new magnetic therapy that treats major depression "is rapidly gaining momentum." Nearly 300 centers in the United States now offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
- Nine out of ten adult Americans eat too much salt each day, according to a report released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People are consuming high amounts of salt in processed foods and at restaurants, and you might be surprised to learn that bread and rolls are big offenders – more than potato chips because of the quantity eaten. High sodium levels increase blood pressure, putting people at higher risk for heart disease and stroke.
- Research shows that massage reduces inflammation and promotes the growth of new mitochondria after strenuous exercise.
- In an animal study, Mount Sinai researchers found that decaffeinated coffee may improve glucose utilization in the brain, reducing the risk for Type 2 diabetes and the brain dysfunction associated with some neurological disorders.
- A woman’s memory of an experience is less likely to be as accurate a man’s if it was unpleasant and emotionally provocative, according to research by the University of Montreal.
- From Wash U school-age children whose mothers nurtured them early in life have brains with a larger hippocampus, a key structure important to learning, memory and response to stress.
- The size of a man’s prostate gland may help predict the severity of cancer, with a smaller prostate being more likely to harbor serious disease.
- Weekly work-outs can reduce depression in the chronically ill, according to new research from UAB.
- For type 2 diabetics who are not on insulin, monitoring their blood sugar does little to control blood sugar levels over time and may not be worth the effort or expense, according to a new evidence review in The Cochrane Library.
- Attentiveness in kindergarten accurately predicts the development of “work-oriented” skills in school children, according to a new study from the University of Montreal.
- Mayo Clinic researchers have found that multiple exposures to anesthesia at a young age are associated with higher rates of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
- Scalding by hot liquid is the No. 1 cause of burns among children, says head of Loyola University Medical Center's Burn Institute.

Article of the Week
Falling in Love: Venus and Venom Have a Lot in Common
For some Valentine’s Day is a reminder to be more romantic and intimate during the rest of the year. For others it is a measuring stick of where they fall short, on the outside peering into the windows of happy couples. Then for those who are doing their time together like cell mates in prison rather than soul mates, cupid laughs mockingly. Wayne Harbert a linguistics professor at Cornell University states that “Venus and venom come from the same root, meaning love. In Latin, venenum from which venom comes, originally meant love potion, but over time came to mean poison.” So are you lovesick, madly in love, blinded by love or reasonably happy?
I would love for you to be heart smart:- If you don’t love, respect and enjoy being alone with yourself, you will not find lasting love.
