Health Tips of the Week
- New study shows that a long period of estrogen deprivation can lead to loss of sensitivity and protective effects in the brain and weaken areas normally resistant to stroke damage.
- Use of marijuana could assist in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder patients. The results of new research should encourage psychiatric investigation into using pot in post-traumatic stress patients.
- The effectiveness of a screening colonoscopy may depend on the time of day it is performed. According to a new UCLA study, early-morning colonoscopies yielded more polyps per patient than later screenings, and fewer polyps were found hour by hour as the day progressed. The findings point to the need for more research in this area to possibly improve outcomes for colonoscopy procedures.
- In addition to building muscle, weightlifting is also a prescription for self-esteem among breast cancer survivors, according to new University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine research. Breast cancer survivors who lift weights regularly feel better about bodies and their appearance and are more satisfied with their intimate relationships compared with survivors who do not lift weights.
- Hoping to keep the flu at bay? A strong immune system helps. Enjoying the bounty of colorful fruits and vegetables available right now can be an important step toward supporting your family’s immune system this cold/flu season. A new study, America’s Phytonutrient Report, found 8 in 10 Americans are missing out on the health benefits of fruits and veggies.
- People with shingles are more likely to suffer a recurrence than previously thought, especially if their attack is accompanied by lasting pain, researchers report.
- Pregnant women with significant symptoms of depression tend to have a stronger biological reaction to the seasonal flu vaccine than do women with lower depression levels.
- The Harvard Health Letter claims that napping helps people retain information and solve problems effectively at work. Employers should encourage napping on the job! Limit your nap to 20 or 30 minutes to avoid a grogginess which is difficult to shake.
- A new study suggests predictable factors like exercise and control over eating play a role in maintaining weight loss, but so do factors in the home like fewer TVs and more exercise equipment.

Article of the Week
Hope Can Be a Hindrance
Too much of even a good thing can be harmful. For example, too many vitamins or too much exercise can be toxic. This principal also applies to the most beneficial of human emotions – hope.
Hope is the feeling that we can have what we want. Grief is the feeling that you almost held it in your fingertips or had it for awhile, but then it was taken from you. So, you mourn the loss. Which emotion will help you become the best version of yourself? Did you ever consider that hope might get in the way of your coping and adapting to what is? How do you adapt to reality if you are wishing and hoping for a different outcome? How many men and women hope to change the person they marry? Have you ever hoped that something that wasn’t good for you would suddenly be healthy? If you hope to live or hope to be happy, you might be missing out on what is going on now.
A new study by the University of Michigan Health researchers reveals the shadow side of hope. more
