Stay Safe When Temperatures Rise

FRIDAY, July 31, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Extremely hot weather can be deadly if you don’t take the proper precautions, an expert warns.

There were 123 heat-related deaths in the United States in 2014, according to the National Weather Service.

“People suffer heat-related illnesses when their bodies are unable to compensate and properly cool themselves,” Dr. Richard Schwartz, chair of emergency medicine at Georgia Regents University in Augusta, said in a university news release.

Signs that the heat is getting to be too much include: weakness; heavy sweating; nausea; giddiness; dizziness; collapse; fatigue; and cool, clammy, red or flushed skin, according to Schwartz. If you experience these symptoms, move into an air-conditioned area, rest and drink cool beverages, he recommended.

But, there are ways to prevent heat illness from occurring, he added.

“No matter if you’re in the garden, on the playing field, at the beach or at the construction site, summer activity should be balanced with measures that aid the body’s cooling mechanisms and prevent heat-related illness,” he advised.

On hot days, try to limit your outdoor activity to early morning or early evening. If you’re outside during the day, take regular breaks in shady areas or indoors.

Avoid overexertion on hot days. If doing activities in the heat makes your heart pound and leaves you gasping for breath, move to a cool or shaded area to rest. This is especially crucial if you become lightheaded, confused, weak or faint, Schwartz said.

Try to stay out of the sun. If you have to be outside, apply sunscreen and wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing and a wide-brimmed hat. If you work in the sun, take frequent breaks and try not to push yourself too hard.

Be sure to drink plenty of fluids. If you’re doing intense exercise in the heat, drink two to four glasses of cool fluids each hour. A sports drink can replace salts and minerals lost in sweat. Even if you’re swimming, you need to drink plenty of fluids, Schwartz said.

Don’t eat a heavy or hot meal before you go outside in hot weather, because doing so will cause your body to heat up faster. Don’t drink liquids with alcohol or large amounts of sugar, and avoid extremely cold beverages, which can cause stomach cramps.

If you’re outside during hot weather, monitor the condition of family members, friends and co-workers, and have someone keep an eye on you, too. If you’re 65 or older, ask a relative or friend to check on you twice a day during a heat wave. If you know a senior, check on them often during hot weather.

If your home doesn’t have air conditioning, find a public place that does. Taking a cool shower or bath is another way to keep cool if you don’t have air conditioning, Schwartz said. Try to avoid using your stove or oven because they can significantly raise the temperature in your home.

Smog Threatens Visitors to U.S. National Parks: Report

FRIDAY, July 31, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Air pollution afflicts many national parks across the United States, a new study suggests.

Air quality in some of the parks is as bad or worse than in some major cities because of pollution from sources such as coal-fired power stations, the National Parks Conservation Association says in a new report.

“Our parks remain under threat from air pollution, harming visitors’ health, reducing visibility, and driving the impacts of climate change,” said Ulla Reeves, manager of the association’s Clean Air Campaign.

Researchers examined 48 national parks with the greatest Clean Air Act protections. They discovered that 75 percent of them sometimes have “moderate” or worse ozone pollution, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Index. These levels are dangerous for sensitive groups, such as children with asthma.

Four parks — Joshua Tree, Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite — regularly have air that’s considered unhealthy. Some of the parks have unhealthy air for more than a month each year, typically during the summer, the report notes.

All 48 parks studied have haze pollution that limits how far people can see. On average, park visitors miss out on 50 miles of scenery, which is equal to the length of Rhode Island, the researchers point out.

The study also noted that 90 percent of national parks are experiencing extreme weather linked to climate-changing air pollution. The parks are hotter, wetter or drier than they were over most of the past century.

“As Americans flock to our national parks this summer to enjoy the great outdoors, they expect and deserve to find clean, healthy air. Sadly that is not always the case,” Reeves said in an association news release.

Stand, Don’t Sit, to Get Healthier, Researchers Say

By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter

THURSDAY, July 30, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Sitting too long may be hazardous to your health, even if you exercise regularly, Australian researchers report.

A new study found that sitting appears to be linked to increased blood sugar and cholesterol levels, which can lead to added weight, diabetes and heart ills. But standing more helps improve all these measures and can give you a trimmer waist to boot, the researchers said.

“Switching some of your sitting time to standing could have benefits for your heart and metabolism,” said lead author Genevieve Healy, a senior research fellow at the University of Queensland in Herston.

“More time spent standing rather than sitting could improve your blood sugar, fats in the blood and cholesterol levels, while replacing time spent sitting with time walking could have additional benefits for your waistline and body mass index,” she said.

However, the study did not prove a cause-and-effect link between standing and walking more and better health.

The report was published July 31 in the European Heart Journal.

For the study, Healy and colleagues gave activity monitors to 782 men and women, aged 36 to 80, who took part in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study.

The monitors kept track of how long each participant spent sitting/lying down, standing, walking and running.

In addition, participants provided blood samples, measurements of their blood pressure, waist circumference, and height and weight (body mass index). The monitors were worn 24 hours a day for seven days.

The researchers found that an extra two hours per day spent standing rather than sitting was associated with approximately 2 percent lower blood sugar levels and 11 percent lower average triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood).

More standing time was also associated with an increase in HDL (“good”) cholesterol and a drop in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, the investigators found.

Moreover, replacing two hours a day of sitting time with walking or running was associated with about 11 percent lower average body mass and an almost 3-inch smaller waist.

The researchers also found that average blood sugar levels dropped by about 11 percent and average triglycerides by 14 percent for every two hours spent walking rather than sitting, while HDL cholesterol levels were higher.

“Get up for your heart health and move for your waistline,” Healy said.

Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, “Many studies have found that the amount of sedentary time is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and premature death.”

People who sit for prolonged periods have a higher risk of early death, even those who regularly exercise, but the risk is most pronounced in men and women who do little or no exercise, he said.

It’s clear that sitting down for too long is bad for people’s health, said Dr. Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and author of an accompanying journal editorial.

“As a society, we have been focused too much on exercise and have paid less attention to the importance of just moving,” he said.

Lopez-Jimenez said that even if you exercise, sitting for long periods is a marker of a sedentary lifestyle.

Society, he said, values sitting and using labor-saving devices over standing, walking and moving.

“People need to recognize the importance of not sitting too long during the day,” Lopez-Jimenez said. “Avoid the mindset that says, ‘Do the least amount of effort.'”

Do Sporty Teen Girls Live Longer, Healthier Lives?

By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter

FRIDAY, July 31, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Women who exercised or played sports as teens have a lower risk of premature death from cancer or any other cause much later in life, new research shows.

The study of thousands of Chinese women aged 40 and older found that those who exercised roughly 80 minutes a week as teenagers had a 16 percent lowered risk for death from cancer and a 15 percent lowered risk for death from all causes. Participation in team sports during the teen years had almost as strong an effect.

“Adolescent exercise participation was associated with reduced risk of mortality in later life regardless of adult lifestyle or socioeconomic factors,” said lead researcher Sarah Nechuta, an assistant professor of medicine at Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville.

“Our findings support the importance of promoting the initiation of regular exercise participation in early life and across the life course to prevent sickness and death from cancer and other chronic diseases,” she added.

Women who exercised both as teens and adults benefited most all, with risk for death from all causes and death from cancer reduced by 20 percent and 13 percent, respectively, the researchers said.

For the study, researchers used data on nearly 75,000 women, aged 40 to 70, who took part in the Shanghai Women’s Health Study. The women, who were enrolled from 1996 to 2000, were asked about exercise participation between ages 13 and 19.

Over an average of almost 13 years of follow-up, nearly 5,300 women died, including more than 2,300 from cancer and 1,620 from heart disease.

Women who had played on teams as teens had a lower risk for cancer death later in life by 14 percent, and lower risk of death from all causes by 10 percent, the researchers found.

Exercise was also associated with reduced risk of heart disease.

The report was published in the August issue of the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Nechuta cautioned that because the participants in the study self-reported the amount of exercise they did as teens, there could be errors in the findings. The study only found an association rather than a cause-and-effect link between teen exercise and later health.

Although the participants were Chinese, Nechuta thinks the results would apply to American women as well. “There is no major reason that the overall association would be different for U.S. women,” she said.

The researchers said that exercise improves immune function, reduces inflammatory factors, decreases insulin and insulin-like growth factors, improves cholesterol and reduces blood pressure, all of which can have lifelong benefits.

While Nechuta isn’t sure if these findings would apply to men, another expert is more optimistic.

Alpa Patel, strategic director of the American Cancer Society’s cancer prevention study, said that there is no biological reason why men would not also gain lifelong benefits from exercise in adolescence.

“This study is more evidence that maintaining a healthy lifestyle from early in life is important to reducing long-term disease risk,” said Patel.

And just because you weren’t active as a teen doesn’t mean it’s too late for exercise to benefit your health, she added.

“There is a lot of evidence to support that being physically active in your adulthood is beneficial to long-term disease prevention,” Patel said.

Effective Ebola Vaccine May Be Here: Health Officials

FRIDAY, July 31, 2015 (HealthDay News) — An experimental Ebola vaccine appears highly effective against the deadly infectious disease, according to an interim analysis of findings from a clinical trial being conducted in the West African nation of Guinea.

So far, the vaccine has been 100 percent effective in individuals, the United Nation’s World Health Organization (WHO) said in a news release on Friday.

An independent body of international experts conducted the review and recommended that the trial of the VSV-EBOV vaccine continue. The findings were published July 31 in The Lancet.

“This is an extremely promising development,” Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO director-general, said in an agency news release. “The credit goes to the Guinean government, the people living in the communities and our partners in this project. An effective vaccine will be another very important tool for both current and future Ebola outbreaks.”

More research is needed to determine if the vaccine can protect large groups of people through what is called “herd immunity,” health officials added. To that end, Guinean officials have approved continuation of the clinical trial, WHO said.

“The ‘ring’ vaccination method adopted for the vaccine trial is based on the smallpox eradication strategy,” John-Arne Rottingen, director of the division of infectious disease control at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and chair of the study’s Steering Group, explained in the news release.

“The premise is that by vaccinating all people who have come into contact with an infected person you create a protective ‘ring’ and stop the virus from spreading further. This strategy has helped us to follow the dispersed epidemic in Guinea, and will provide a way to continue this as a public health intervention in trial mode,” he explained.

The clinical trial first began in Ebola-affected communities on March 23, 2015, WHO said. So far, more than 4,000 adults who had close contact with about 100 Ebola patients — including relatives, neighbors and co-workers — have voluntarily taken part in the trial.

On the basis of evidence of the vaccine’s safety, the trial will now include teens aged 13 to 17 and possibly children aged 6 to 12.

“In parallel with the ring vaccination we are also conducting a trial of the same vaccine on frontline workers,” Bertrand Draguez, medical director at Doctors Without Borders, said in the news release.

“These people have worked tirelessly and put their lives at risk every day to take care of sick people. If the vaccine is effective, then we are already protecting them from the virus. With such high efficacy, all affected countries should immediately start and multiply ring vaccinations to break chains of transmission and vaccinate all frontline workers to protect them,” Draguez said.

The VSV-EBOV vaccine was developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada and licensed to Merck & Co. Inc. and NewLink Genetics Corp.

How Kate Winslet Talks to Her Daughter About Body Positivity

Photo: Courtesy of MIMI/John Phillips/UK Press via Getty Images

Kate Winslet made an appearance on the July 27 episode of NBC’s Running Wild With Bear Grylls, where she talked about how she didn’t have a body-positive female role model growing up.

“When I grew up, I never heard positive reinforcement about body image from any female in my life,” Winslet told Grylls . “I only ever heard negatives. That’s very damaging, because then you’re programmed as a young woman to immediately scrutinize yourself and how you look.”

The 39-year-old Oscar winner hopes to be a positive role model for her own teenage daughter, Mia.

“I stand in front of the mirror and say to Mia, ‘We are so lucky that we got a shape. We’re so lucky we’re curvy. We’re so lucky we’ve got good bums,'” Winslet said. “And she’ll say, ‘Mommy, I know, thank God.'”

In other words, Kate Winslet is the best mom ever—not to mention a positive body role model to millions of young women. “Happiness it isn’t a search for facial or physical perfection,” she said. “It comes from inside.”

1 in 5 U.S. Adults Has a Physical, Mental Disability: CDC

By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter

THURSDAY, July 30, 2015 (HealthDay News) — More than 50 million Americans live with a disability, health officials reported Thursday.

The most common disabilities are mobility limitations, such as having serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs — affecting one in eight adults — followed by disabilities in thinking and/or memory, independent living, seeing and self-care, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“This report is a snapshot of the percent of adults with disabilities in the U.S., so we can get a better understanding of who people with disabilities are,” said researcher Elizabeth Courtney-Long, a health scientist at the CDC’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities.

The researchers found that most people with disabilities live in southern states, such as Alabama (31.5 percent), Mississippi and Tennessee (31.4 percent).

Although why these states tend to have the highest number of disabled people isn’t known, the researchers suggested that states in the South have higher rates of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, which may be linked to disability.

People with disabilities were also more likely to be aged 65 and older, Courtney-Long said.

In addition, the researchers found blacks (29 percent) and Hispanics (26 percent) were more likely to suffer from disabilities than whites (nearly 21 percent).

Moreover, education and income levels appear to have strong ties to disability rates. Nearly 40 percent of people in the study who had less than a high school education reported a disability. Also, about 47 percent of people who had annual household incomes of less than $15,000, and about one-third of unemployed people who were able to work reported a disability, the study found.

According to the report, more women than men have a disability (more than 24 percent versus nearly 20 percent, respectively).

Costs for maintaining health among people with disabilities were estimated at nearly $400 billion in 2006, the researchers reported. More than half of these costs were related to non-independent living, such as institutional care and personal-care services.

The findings were published July 31 in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

“We are all at risk of having a disability at some point in our lifetime,” CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said in a CDC statement. “Health professionals and health care systems need to meet the needs of this growing population,” he added.

Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center in New Haven, Conn., said that much of the disabilities and chronic disease people suffer from can be eliminated.

“Life expectancy is rising in the United States, which can convey a false sense of security about our health,” Katz said.

The National Academy of Medicine has issued reports showing that health and vitality are not keeping pace with longevity, and that the gap between the two is potentially widening, he said.

“Although medical advances help delay death, they cannot confer genuine vitality,” Katz said. “The consequence of a longer life span, but a health span that is not keeping pace, is more years encumbered by chronic maladies and disabilities,” he said. “Much of this is preventable.”

By eating well, being active and not smoking, as much as 80 percent of chronic diseases could be prevented, as well as the disability that accompanies them, Katz said.

“The true prize is a combination of more years in life, and more life in years — and the best medicine for producing that outcome is not at the cutting edge of biomedical advance — it is lifestyle,” he said.

All disability cannot be prevented, Katz said. “But much of the disability we encounter in our culture is indeed a byproduct of choices we make both individually and collectively, choices that we can alter,” he said.

Older Smokers With Migraines May Face Added Stroke Risk

THURSDAY, July 30, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Older smokers who experience migraines appear to be at increased risk of stroke, a new study suggests.

The study included nearly 1,300 people, average age 68, who suffered migraine headaches with and without aura. Migraine with aura is a migraine that’s preceded or accompanied by visual effects such as flashes of light or blind spots, or by tingling in the hands or face.

The study participants were followed for an average of 11 years to see how many had a heart attack or stroke. The findings were published online July 22 in the journal Neurology.

The researchers did not find an association between migraine and the risk of either heart attack or stroke in nonsmokers. But among smokers, migraine was associated with a threefold increased risk of stroke.

However, even though the study found an association between migraine and stroke risk in smokers, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

“Statistically, we could not rule out the possibility that the relationship between migraine and stroke in smokers was due to chance, however, we believe the association is consistent with other studies,” study author Dr. Teshamae Monteith said in a journal news release. Monteith is director of the headache program at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

“Our findings may provide more evidence as to why quitting smoking is important for people who experience migraine,” she added.

“While this investigation of migraine and vascular events in older people found that only smokers with migraine have an increased risk of stroke, earlier studies have shown that women younger than 45 who have migraine with aura are also at an increased risk of stroke, whether or not they smoke,” Monteith said.

Google Can Now Tell You When Your Gym Is Too Crowded

Photo: Getty Images

Hate waiting on a treadmill or locker-room hair dryer? A new tool just rolled out by Google will fix that: Search a place using your smartphone, and with your result you get a daily chart of when places like your gym, Whole Foods, or DMV are most and least crowded. It works by using foot traffic data collected from phones (yes, you’re being tracked, but it’s anonymous).

I Googled my gym—Equinox in Mamaroneck, NY—clicked on the more icon and learned that if I’m going after work (doubtful!), I’m way better off waiting until 8:30 rather than braving 7, the evening’s craziest hour. And going off-peak could even help you get stronger by making you more confident to tackle weight work.

Some of this is self-evident, for sure. But the new intel (which is only available on mobile devices) can actually be game-changing. What if you learned, as I did, that your typical time to hit Trader Joe’s (before dinner on Sunday) is ALL WRONG? That it’s in fact the absolute WORST hour of the week to pick up quinoa and zucchini and down free coffee? You might just go on Saturday at 9am instead. That is, if you aren’t too busy enjoying some peace and quiet at the near-empty gym.
