Description: ThYou know salty snacks like chips, pretzels, and crackers are loaded with sodium. But do you realize most of the salt you consume comes from the foods you're picking at the grocery store? It's not just the salt shaker, says Rosemary Yurczyk, MS, RD, CDE, dietitian and diabetes educator at the University of California Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. Government guidelines recommend that people consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day -- about one teaspoon of salt. So if you eat three meals a day, you'll want to stay within 800 milligrams of sodium per meal, Yurczyk says.

http://www.wndu.com/news/mommo/022006/mommo_48236.php

2006-02-27 18:07:06
Description: Deadly snake venom may actually be a life saver for stroke victims. Clinical trials are currently underway testing venom from a Malayan pit viper. Researchers say an extract from the venom may be a highly effective clot buster. So far, study results show the venom reduces a protein in the blood that contributes to blood clots. In many patients, normal blood flow has been restored and oxygen returns to the affected area. Another benefit is the drug can be administered up to six hours after a stroke. The current drug on the market needs to be administered within three hours.

Description: AFeb. 21, 2006 (Kissimmee, Fla.) -- A new study shows that your chance of having a stroke in your lifetime has dropped significantly over the past 50 years. And at least for men, the chance of dying from the disease has declined as well. Researchers who presented the data here at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2006 credited the trends to better control of blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other stroke risk factors. Researcher Raphael Carandang, MD, a resident in the department of neurology at Boston University, says the risk of having a stroke in one's lifetime dropped from 19.5% in 1950 to 1978 to 13.3% in 1990 to 2004.
