Video: Studies: Sleep deficit linked to health problems
|
 | Life can be a little bit more tough when you do not get enough sleep, making focus and concentration difficult during the day.
"Your brain needs to get enough sleep so it can do the things it needs to do," said Dr. Charles Bae of Cleveland Clinic.
New research finds that depression and anxiety are more likely in young adults who get less than eight hours of sleep per night.
The risk increases for every hour of sleep that is lost.
Another study shows that teens who lack sleep tend to consume more fatty foods and snacks.
"When you don't get enough sleep, there are changes in hormones that control your appetite," said Dr. Bae.
Researchers say that even slight changes in eating patterns can lead to weight gain, primarily in girls.
Sleep experts recommend that teens get at least nine hours of sleep every night.
Adults require less, but too little shut-eye with adult men can cause major problems.
A Penn State study links chronic insomnia with an increased risk of death in men.
Men who slept less than six hours during the night are on average four times more likely to die of any cause during the study's fourteen year follow-up period.
The risk is even more high for men who also had diabetes or high blood pressure.
Experts hope that this will prompt many to wake up to the health benefits of sleep, and encourage individuals into getting use to a bed time routine.
Also, experts recommend limiting the use of the internet and video games earlier on in the evening. |

Video: BIVI Promotes Cat Wellness
|
 | ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (August 10, 2010) - Results of a recent study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association revealed that cats, America's No. 1 pet, are seen less often by veterinarians than dogs. In response, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. (BIVI), has launched an educational initiative to encourage cat owners nationwide to have their cats seen regularly by a veterinarian. "Cats are America's most popular pet, but they often don't receive the level of care or treatment as their canine counterparts," says Daniel Alvarado, BIVI senior brand manager for feline biologicals. "Just like dogs, cats need regular health checkups. Regular exams allow veterinarians to ensure vaccinations are up to date, which are important to prevent many common health and disease problems. However, this initiative is not just about vaccination; it's about responsible pet ownership and encouraging owners to take the steps necessary to ensure their pets live long, healthy lives." According to Andrew McDowell, BIVI brand manager for ProZinc(r), cats are very skilled at hiding illness. "Subtle signs of illness in cats can go undetected by owners for a very long time. Regularly scheduled veterinary visits give owners a chance to check their pet's weight, nutritional condition and overall health. These are important factors for early detection and prevention of many diseases like diabetes, which are very treatable when caught early." In conjunction with the education initiative, BIVI has created an online resource for cat owners at www.healthycatsforlife.com. This website provides information on a wide variety of feline health issues, from the common signs of illness to how to get your cat to the veterinary clinic. Additional awareness and educational programs are planned for veterinarians and pet owners to support the initiative. "Obviously, we would like to have every cat seen by a veterinarian annually and certainly prior to any onset of disease," says Alvarado. "We hope this initiative helps owners see the benefits of regular checkups to help ensure a longer, happier relationship with their pets." |

Video: Waistline Study
|
 | A new study finds people with larger waistlines are at greater risk of dying. And it's not just people who are obese. Manuel gallegus reports. GAIL SHECK TRIES TO KEEP HER WEIGHT IN CHECK. I exercise i weightlift i try to eat right. BUT A NEW STUDY FINDS IT'S NOT JUST WEIGHT.. BUT THE SIZE OF YOUR WAIST THAT MATTERS. RESEARCHERS SAY PEOPLE WITH LARGE WAISTLINES ARE AT GREATER RISK FOR DISEASE AND DEATH... AND THERE'S RISK EVEN FOR THOSE WHOSE WEIGHT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL. For normal weight women, we saw a 25% increased risk of dying for each approximately 4 inch increase in waist size. And for normal weight men, we saw about a 16% increase in risk of dying. Government guidelines say a waist over 35 inches for women and over 40 inches for men is considered obese. But researchers say these findings show you need to pay attention to the size of your waist, no matter how big or small you are. If you're having to move to a higher and higher pants size, this is an important sign that its time to start eating better and to start exercising more to keep that waist size, that belly fat in check. FAT IN THE WAISTLINE SURROUNDS ORGANS IN THE ABDOMEN AND IS CONSIDERED MORE DANGEROUS THAN FAT IN OTHER TISSUE. IT'S LONG BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH CHOLESTEROL, DIABETES, CANCER, AND HEART DISEASE . DOCTORS SAY EVEN SHEDDING A LITTLE OF THAT COULD HELP YOU LIVE LONGER. MANUEL GALLEGUS, CBS NEWS NEW YORK. The study followed more than 100-thousand men and women for nine years. |

Video: Mom's weight during pregnancy can affect child obesity
|
 | New research from Children's Hospital Boston finds women who gain a lot of weight during pregnancy tend to have heavier babies, directly impacting the infants' risk for obesity later in life.
Previous studies linking pregnancy weight and childhood obesity couldn't account for the genetic factors a mom and baby share.
This study looked at women who had multiple children with different risks for obesity based on how much weight their moms put on while pregnant.
Researchers say it's healthy for a baby to be born with some fat, but too much can indicate the fetus developed in an abnormal environment.
Obesity in adults is associated with multiple health problems including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, sleep apnea and gastro-esphageal reflux disease.
"We know that if we can take an obese individual and get them back down to a normal weight, than we can get those health problems to go away," says UH Case Medical Center's Dr. Leena Khaitan.
The trick may be to stop the cycle before it ever begins in utero.
The Institute of Medicine recommends women with a normal weight gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. |

Video: New report shows adult obesity is on the rise
|
 | New statistics show the obesity epidemic in America has grown rapidly over the past several years.
Americans are more overweight than ever and may die sooner because of it according to the new report from the Centers for Disease Control.
From 2007 to 2009 the number of states with more than a third of their population considered obese tripled from three states to nine.
The CDC report may actually underestimate the true obesity prevalence because it's based on telephone interviews.
"People tend to under-report their weight and over-report their height so when prevalence is based on BMI, you get underestimates from self-report," explains the CDC's Dr. William Dietz.
As America's waistline has grown, so has the price tag for treating obesity-related ailments including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
The report shows obesity accounted for about 10-percent of medical costs in 2008, or about 0-billion.
"We can't afford not to come to terms with this problem. It is expensive and likely to break the medical bank," notes Dr. Dietz.
Obesity experts say making small changes today can add up.
For starters, they suggest drinking more water and cutting back on sugary drinks.
Even parking a bit further away from buildings instead of in the closest parking space can help.
Those first steps, experts say, combined with community-wide efforts like increasing walking and biking areas may pave the way to a slimmer and healthier America.
The nine states with an obesity prevalence of more than 30-percent are Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia. |
