Health Tips of the Week
- The emerging idea that obesity may have an infectious origin gets new support in a cross-sectional study by University of California, San Diego School of Medicine researchers who found that children exposed to a particular strain of adenovirus were significantly more likely to be obese.
- UCLA researchers found that adolescents from Latin American and Asian backgrounds experienced more discrimination than their peers from European backgrounds and that the discrimination came not only from other adolescents but from adults as well. Discrimination impacted their grade-point averages and their health, and was associated with depression, distress and lower levels of self-esteem.
- A medicine widely used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also provides long-term relief from the attention and behavior changes that affect many childhood cancer survivors according to a multicenter trial led by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital investigators.
- In female athletes with chronically higher estrogen levels, differences in the mechanical properties of tendons may lead to a higher risk of injury according to a study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
- Cognitive scientists from the University of Rochester have discovered that playing action video games trains people to make the right decisions faster. The researchers found that video game players develop a heightened sensitivity to what is going on around them, and this benefit doesn’t just make them better at playing video games, but improves a wide variety of general skills that can help with everyday activities like multitasking, driving, reading small print, keeping track of friends in a crowd, and navigating around town.
- Berries like blueberries and strawberries are good for you. They help prevent urinary tract infections, improve memory, might offer protection against heart attacks and prevent the growth of breast and colon cancer cells. Keep in mind that whole berries have more nutrients and fiber than juices – less sugar and fewer calories.
- A new study, released by the American Council on Exercise (ACE), shows that toning shoes including Skechers Shape-Ups, Masai Barefoot Technology and Reebok EasyTone don't help you exercise more intensely, burn more calories, or improve your muscle strength and tone.

The Surprising Antidote to Loneliness
Loneliness is recognized as a growing health problem. Isolation has been shown to adversely affect the cardiovascular system and implicated in depression. The internet and TV continue to build a higher wall. A broad research study from the University of Chicago Medical Center has found the root cause of loneliness and so, the treatment. The surprising findings: Addressing loneliness is not about attending support groups with other lonely people or teaching better social skills. Rather loneliness can be healed by improving one’s self-esteem - creating a more positive self-perception in relation to others.
This is a new approach to an old problem.
