311. Get more fat in your diet!
http://www.sheknows.com/articles/803807.htm

2008-06-06 18:03:08
Description: What are “good” fats? Good fats are unsaturated fats. And while eating monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats as part of a healthy diet, they should still be eaten in moderation. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and become solid when chilled. According to the American Heart Association, these fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels in your blood as well as lower your risk for heart disease. Monounsaturated fats can also reduce your risk of stroke.

Description: survivors rehabilitation project USC School of Dentistry Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy awarded $12.4 million NIH grant to study rehab optimization to improve patient quality of life The University of Southern California is taking the lead to address rehabilitation therapy and how it can improve the quality of life for stroke survivors. Each year, about 700,000 people in the United States experience first or recurrent attacks of stroke. About 65 percent of stroke survivors experience significant disability, such as the loss of use of one arm. This can lead to a reduced quality of life and loss of independence, says Carolee Winstein, director of the Motor Behavior and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory at USC. "More effective rehabilitation treatments could lessen the disability, caregiver burden and economic impact of stroke," says Winstein, a professor of biokinesiology and physical therapy.

Description: COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Researchers at the University of South Carolina plan to use popular video game systems to help rehabilitate stroke victims. The university's Arnold School of Public Health has been given $112,000 as part of a nationwide program. Assistant professor Stacy Fritz said the school will use the Nintendo Wii (wee) and Playstation 2's EyeToy in the research project. The video games require people to use their whole bodies to play. Fritz said she wants to see if the video game therapy is more effective than traditional rehabilitation exercises in helping stoke victims improve mobility, walking and balance.

314. McCain Healthy, Barack Obama Doomed
http://gawker.com/393000/mccain-healthy-barack-obama-doomed

2008-05-23 12:04:20
Description: Barack Obama is a smoker. Well, maybe a former smoker, but probably still a sometimes smoker. Because christ, no one is strong enough to make it through a presidential campaign without a cigarette here and there. Obama was up to half a pack a day at some point during his 26 years as a smoker. (Lightweight.) Though usually more like a quarter-pack a day. He also says he quit in February of 2007. Stier would like you to know that while everyone is running around worried about how the 71-year-old cancer survivor might not be able to stand up to the stresses of the Oval Office, the 46-year-old maybe former smoker poses a much greater risk. Because he's smoked 55,000-70,000 cigarettes in his life! Stier never really uses his fancy medical math to say what Obama's precise risk factor is for stroke or heart problems, but it must be pretty bad, because that is a lot of cigarettes

Description: New Israeli Virtual Reality Program Improves Stroke Rehab By ISRAEL21c Staff IHC Abstract [ISRAEL] Correct diagnoses and quality rehabilitation therapy play a key role recovery from a stroke. A new virtual reality program has been developed by Israeli computer scientists, which can simulate which treatment will work out best for a patient. This is not only beneficial to the patient, but to the doctors as well because it will avoid having to experiment with different treatments, and this will save much needed time. Dr. Larry Manevitz, of the University of Haifa, who is one of the researchers, wants to be able to identify similar types of brain injuries by human behavior. This will lead the way to more effective treatment.

http://www.medindia.net/news/Eating-Popcorn-can-Increase-Whole-Grain-Fibre-Levels-36202-1.htm

2008-05-02 12:04:33
Description: Popcorn eaters have an approximately 250 percent higher daily intake of whole grains and a 22 percent higher daily intake of fibre. The researchers analysed the data 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to determine the average popcorn consumption of Americans. Popcorn consumers were identified as anyone eating any amount of popcorn within the past 24 hours before taking the survey. They found that total grain consumption was significantly higher with 20.8 percent among popcorn eaters High intake of whole-grain foods is associated with reduced risk for coronary disease, stroke and various types of cancer and may protect against type 2 diabetes
