What's the link between trans fats and dementia? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. New research from Kyushu University suggests that consuming trans fats can increase a person's chance of developing dementia. The study spanned 10 years and researchers found that participants with the highest level of trans fats in their blood work were 52% more likely to develop dementia. You may be thinking, “weren't artificial trans fats banned in the US?” They were….to an extent. In 2018 the FDA did ban artificial trans fats, but a revision was made. If a food contains 0.5 g or less, they could put 0g on the label. If you're looking to avoid trans fats, try cooking fresh meals at home, instead of buying processed foods.

Fall is here. Are you getting enough Vitamin D? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Vitamin D is absorbed through sunlight and certain foods and is necessary for bone and heart health. Without it, the body can't absorb calcium. Due to a lack of sunlight, Vitamin D deficiency peaks during Fall and Winter. Being deficient can cause symptoms like fatigue, back pain, depression, and hair loss. Having a deficiency can even increase the chance of developing Rickets, childhood asthma, and certain types of cancers. Talk to your doctor if you're experiencing symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency.

When's the best time to eat: before or after a workout? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. New research out of Universities of Bath and Birmingham suggests that eating after a workout may be more beneficial than eating before. The researchers studied three different groups. The first group ate breakfast before exercise, the second ate after exercise, and the third group didn't make any changes. All three groups were given the same meal. The group that ate after exercise burned up to twice as much fat than the group that ate before. Why? Because your body is kicked into fasting mode when you sleep. When you eat before exercising, your body uses the insulin created by eating instead of using stored fat.

Is it possible for an adult to have an undiagnosed learning difference? The answer is yes. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. There are over five million adults in the US who suffer from a learning difference. And unfortunately, they don't just “go away”. Adults with learning differences may struggle with things like focus, memory, reading, writing, math, or social anxiety. These symptoms may lesson with proper sleep and diet, but never fully go away. But there is an upside. Most individuals with learning differences have a higher IQ than those that don't. Many believe that this is because their brain processes information differently. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you think you may have an undiagnosed learning difference.

Are your eyes telling you it's time to take a break? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Eye strain can occur after looking at a screen for prolonged periods of time. It can lead to blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. The American Optometric Association and the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the 20-20-20 rule. Take a 20 second break every 20 minutes. During those 20 seconds, focus on an object that is at least 20 feet away. Nothing to focus on? Try closing your eyes for 20 seconds. Doing either of these gives your eye muscles a break. You can also try changing your computer's lighting settings or reducing the glare on screen.

What is Vitamin A? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that acts as a hormone to help with organ function and gene expression. Vitamin A deficiencies can cause nighttime blindness, fertility issues, and dry, bumpy skin. There are two types of this vitamin, pro and preformed. Provitamin A is found in orange plant foods. The body stores this as beta-carotene and then converts it into Vitamin A as needed. Because the body only creates what it needs, it's impossible to overdose on Provitamin A. On the other hand, Preformed Vitamin A is found in milk, eggs, and meat. It's also the type used in supplements. You can overdose on Preformed Vitamin A, it can become toxic to the body.

Do you suffer from psoriasis? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. A new study out of Paracelsus Medical University suggests that a ketogenic, or keto diet, may not be a good idea for people suffering from psoriasis. Most people follow a keto diet for weight loss, but research has that it can also help in protecting against cognitive decline and improving type 2 diabetes symptoms. However, in the study, they found that a keto diet with high amounts of coconut oil can increase skin inflammation. But this only happens when it's combined with other healthy fats like avocados, olive oil, fish, and nuts. So, if you have psoriasis and are planning on jumping on the keto bandwagon, be sure to limit your coconut intake.

Do you ever have an afternoon crash? If so you're not alone. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. It's common for people to feel a lack of energy in the afternoon, something we often describe as a crash or “hitting the wall” so to speak. There's a simple formula that can help keep you energized. First start with a healthy lunch. Eating high fat, sugary, or high carb lunches can lead to extreme fatigue within an hour or two. About 1:00 get up and go for a brisk walk. This will get the blood flowing and wake the brain back up. At 3pm have a light snack, like almonds or raw veggies. And perhaps the best advice I can give you is to get up and take screen breaks to prevent eye strain.

Could the color of your urine be a clue to your health? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. It's important to notice the color and opacity of your urine.

There's one plant that you should always have growing at home. Any guesses on what that plant is? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Aloe Vera is a great plant because it can grow outside in many climates, but it can also thrive in the kitchen window. Now, if you're a cat owner, you will need to keep this out of the reach of your feline since it's toxic to them. For us humans though, aloe vera is the perfect cure for a surface burn from cooking or even a sun burn. You can just cut off a small section of the plant, slice it down the middle of one side and then spread the gel inside over the affected area. Did you know that Aloe also has great benefits for your mouth? While you can't eat it straight from your plant, aloe containing mouth washes are great for reducing plaque, freshening breath, and reducing inflammation of the gum line.

Are you leading an active life? If so it may increase your longevity. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. You may have heard the term active life before and wondered what that means. Simply put, it means moving and doing. It doesn't mean you have to be a star athlete, in fact some common daily activities can push you from inactive to active. It's all about not taking the easy way out. Instead of looking for the closest parking space, park at the end of the isle and walk. If you're a parent or grandparent, ditch the stroller and carry the kids. There's no better exercise than lugging fifteen to thirty pounds around. If you're a dog owner, change your strolls to brisk walks of jogs with your furry friend. Even household chores like washing windows, vacuuming and yard work help you stay active.

Do you use e-cigarettes? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Vaping, or also known as an e-cigarette, related deaths are on the rise in the US. Originally, vaping was a tool designed to help wean smokers from cigarettes. However, vaping has been heavily abused by teens, exposing them to the dangers of nicotine. In fact, many states have increased the smoking age to 21- this includes e-cigarettes. The FDA is currently investing over 120 cases of neurological issues, such has seizures, that have been linked to vaping--and according to the CDC, over 450 cases of serious lung illness have also been linked to vaping. If you're a parent, let your children know about the dangers of vaping. And if you use e-cigarettes, talk to your doctor about how to wean yourself off.

Meat eaters, pescatarians, vegetarians, and vegans—listen up! This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. A new study published in BMJ looked at correlations between diet and risk factors for stroke and ischemic heart disease, or IHD. They put participants into three different groups: meat eaters, pescatarians (the only meat they eat is fish), and vegetarians or vegans (plant-based diet). The researchers found that pescatarians had a 13% lower risk of developing IHD than meat eaters. Vegetarians had a 22% lower risk! Shocker, right? But here's where it gets interesting. Vegetarians had a 20% higher risk for stroke. In the past, studies have argued that stroke risks were lower in vegetarians, but they were only looking at death related strokes. So, which is the best diet? Maybe a little bit of everything in moderation.

Are you getting your exercise in? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. In today's world, most jobs are sedentary, meaning more people spend time sitting than moving. Well, Norwegian University of Science and Technology studied the health impacts of a sedentary lifestyle. In the past, there had been numerous studies that linked inactivity to increased mortality. However, this study was different. Researchers wanted to know what happens when physical activity and behavior changes over time. In other words, what happens someone who was once active stops. They found that being inactive for 20 years can make someone twice as likely to die, especially of cardiovascular disease, earlier than someone who is active. So, what are you waiting for?

Do you suffer from migraines? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. New research from University of Waterloo, in Ontario may indicate a link between migraines and dementia risk. They gathered data from over 670 participants, 65 and older, living with either dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. Another set of participants, without cognitive problems, were added as a baseline. After accounting for different variables, the research showed that people with dementia were 3 times more likely to suffer from migraines than those without and people with Alzheimer's Disease were 4 times as likely. Early detection is key to slowing the progression of Alzheimer's Disease and knowing that migraines are a risk factor could help patients get the treatment they need sooner.

An apple a day may actually keep the doctor away. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. New research from Edith Cowan University suggests that high Flavonoid consumption may decrease risk of heart disease and cancer. The researchers studied over 53 thousand participants for 23 years. People who consumed moderate to high levels, around 500mg, were less likely to die from heart disease or cancer. Flavonoids are found in citrus fruit, apples, tea, and legumes. Now, you may thinking red wine has flavonoids, I'll just drink that instead. Well, research has shown that drink a day does not keep the doctor away and can cause inflammation throughout the body—increasing cancer risk.

Do you suffer from migraines? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Migraines affect nearly one billion people worldwide. Not only are they characterized as severe headaches, but they also often cause nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. A study published in the American Journal of Medicine found that caffeine intake may increase migraine headache risk. Researchers studied the habits of 98 adults prone to chronic migraines. Participants who consumed 3 or more caffeinated beverages a day were more likely to develop a migraine within 24 hours. Unfortunately, because caffeine amount varies drink to drink, more research will need to be completed to properly quantify the amount needed to increase migraine risk.

Did you know that women are more likely than men to develop Alzheimer's Disease? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Over 5.8 million people in the US have Alzheimer's Disease and 2/3 of them are women. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found a link between high midlife stress and Alzheimer's risk. But it's only pertains to women! They studied 900 participants for over 20 years. During this time, they asked both male and female participants if they had experienced any stressful or traumatic events. Both sexes reported roughly the same percentage in each category. But, over time, only women showed a decrease in memory function. Talk to your doctor if you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.

Do you take a warm bath or shower at night to help you sleep? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. It's a known fact that taking a warm bath or shower before bed can help you sleep better at night. But, does the time of night matter? Surprisingly, a time frame has never been established, until now. Researchers out of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin set out to find the perfect time to bathe before bed. They did this by searching through over 5,300 different studies. They found that bathing 1-2 hours before bed is the ideal for better sleep. So, if you're having trouble sleeping, draw up a nice warm bath. Just make sure you're out at least an hour before you plan on going to sleep.

Are you trying to prevent heart disease by taking low dose aspirin? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research out of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School suggests that taking low-dose aspirin, or “baby aspirin”, once a day can do more harm than good—if a doctor hasn't told you to take it. It's estimated that around 6.6 million people in the US are taking low-dose aspirin—even though they haven't been advised to do so. Numerous studies have found that the risk for internal bleeding outweighs the benefits of taking aspirin to prevent heart disease. Now, if you have been advised to take low-dose aspirin by your doctor, continue to take it. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about preventing heart disease.

Is the paleo diet actually good for you? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research out of four different research institutions in Australia suggest the paleo diet may be doing more harm than good. They found that people following the diet had higher levels of trimethylamine N-oxide, a compound found in the gut that increases risk for heart disease. One of the paleo diet's ‘claims to fame' was that it aided in gut health. While it may help with some areas, it's not helping the heart. The diet eliminates whole grains, which are known to aid in heart health. The researchers believe that the lack of consumption of these grains led to a change in the gut bacteria, increasing levels of trimethylamine N-oxide.

Do you like your food spicy? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Spicy foods are found everywhere, and more and more restaurants are developing different spicy food challenges. But is it good for you? New research out of Qatar University found a link between chili pepper consumption and dementia. The study showed that people who consumed over 50mg of chili per day were twice as likely to develop dementia. What makes this study so interesting is that as we age, so do our taste buds—so we can't taste foods as well as we used to. Often, when this happens, people resort to adding more flavor through spice. Increasing the risk for someone who may already be at risk for developing dementia.

Do you or a loved one suffer from a food allergy? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Milk, eggs, and peanuts are some of the most common allergies. New research from Boston Children's Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found a correlation between gut bacteria and food allergies. Turns out, when certain strains of bacteria are missing, a person is more likely to have a certain food allergy. Making these bacteria essential for proper digestion. They work by triggering T-cells in the immune system and altering their state, so that they don't cause an immune reaction to that particular food. Private companies are working on bacteria compositions for human trials—making food allergy treatments possible in as soon as 5 years.

Are you a dog lover? If so, I'm about to give you another reason to love them even more. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Dogs have an incredible sense of smell and people often believe that they can “sniff out” disease. Unlike humans who have 5 million olfactory receptors, beagles have 225 million. Researchers from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine used this to their advantage and trained three beagles to “sniff out” non-small cell lung cancer in blood samples. The beagles were able to successfully identify the presence of cancer with over 95% specificity. Next, the researchers plan to train the dogs how to sniff out other forms of cancer-- not just from blood samples, but also from breath samples. Maybe dogs really are “man's best friend”.

Do you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. A new type of treatment may soon be available to people with rheumatoid arthritis thanks to the European League Against Rheumatism. They found that vagus nerve stimulation through a small neurostimulator helped with symptoms. Surprisingly, the participants who received stimulation once per day had better symptom control than those that received it four times per day. During the study, participants also had a decrease of more than 30% in cytokine levels. Although it's unlikely that everyone with rheumatoid arthritis will be walking around with an implant in their head, the study did pave the way for other therapies besides medication to treat symptoms.

Have you ever heard of brown fat? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Brown fat is often referred to as good fat in the body. It turns nutrients into energy by activating uncoupling protein 1. Unlike, white or yellow fat, brown fat isn't a result of excess calories. The School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham studied the link between coffee consumption and uncoupling protein 1 activation. They found that drinking 1 cup of coffee a day helped stimulate brown fat regions and aid in metabolic function. This research shows promise in helping with the obesity crisis in America. Now, remember, before you go to crazy with the coffee—drinking it in high amounts can cause serious health problems.

Autism is on the rise and scientists may have linked it to consumption of processed foods. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Previous research found that autistic children lack beneficial strains of bacteria in their gut microbiome. Because of this, a lot of autistic children struggle with constipation, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. A new study out of University of Central Florida studied the link between propionic acid, a common food preservative, and autism. In the study, too much propionic acid in the gut lining led to a buildup of glial cells, which damaged molecular pathways that inhibited neurons from sending information to the body. Researchers also found that pregnant women who eat high amounts of processed foods put their unborn babies at risk for autism.

Do you or a loved one have fibromyalgia? You may want to listen up! This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Fibromyalgia can cause cognitive difficulties, fatigue, and widespread muscle pain and tenderness. It affects around 2-4% of the US population. According to new research out of McGill University in Montreal, women with fibromyalgia have a different gut microbiome than those that don't. Now, if you've heard me talk about the gut microbiome before, you know that it is plays a huge role in your overall health and disease risk—which is why it's so important to add a probiotic to your supplements. Probiotics can help replenish the good bacteria in your gut lining. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
