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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  A simple blood test can help your doctor determine if supplements are needed.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.

Is your shot record up to date?

Adults need vaccines too. Flu vaccines protect against the most common forms of the flu and pneumonia vaccines could keep you out of the hospital. Remember that even today people can die from the flu and from pneumonia. Tetanus is another vaccine that adults need at least every ten years, more often if there is an injury with broken skin. And if you know a thing or two about shingles, you know you don't want them! If you're over 50, the shingles vaccine may save you from unnecessary pain and suffering.

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. This simple observation can hold keys to your overall health. Urine should be light yellow and clear. When it's cloudy or discolored, it could be a sign of illness. Cloudy urine is often a sign of infection, so is blood in the urine. Blood may also be a sign of a kidney stone. If your urine is darker than usual it may simply mean you need to drink more water, but brown urine can be a serious sign of liver problems and you need to seek medical attention. The lesson here is to pay close attention to what you're body's trying to tell you.

When's the last time you spent some time outside? Well, that's probably too long. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. In a world where we tend to go from the car to the office and back again, we may miss opportunities to spend meaningful time each day out in fresh air. Here's a few tips that may help you connect again with nature. First, start your day by drinking your coffee outside on the porch or near the pool. That first 10 minutes of the day are so important. If you have a park or walking trail nearby the office, bring your tennis shoes and go for a stroll over the lunch hour or plan a walking meeting with a colleague. If you love to garden but don't have a big yard, get a raised bed planter. Gardening is good for the body and the soul.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.

Is city life making you old? Yes, and in more ways than one. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  Living in the city can mean pollution, both noise pollution and air pollution. Noise pollution can interrupt sleep patterns and increase your risk for dementia and inflammation due to stress. Air pollution can affect your skin and cause deeper wrinkles, rashes, pimples, and even uneven skin tone. In one study, air pollution was linked to a 22% increase in dark spots that are often found on the face. If you're not ready to move, there are some ways you can fight back.

Do you know the fastest growing age group for heart attacks? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. If you're like most people, you think that heart disease and heart attacks are for old overweight men. This faulty thinking has led to misdiagnosis and death in many cases. I bet you didn't know that heart disease is the top cause of death in women. Or did you know that while heart attacks are on the decline overall, the fastest growing demographic is the under 40 group. Changes in diet, extreme stress, and lack of sleep all make this demographic a real target. The point is, that both men and women and those under 40 need to have regular physical exams and pay attention and report any symptoms, especially those associated with heat attacks.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  Talk to your doctor if you have questions about the paleo diet.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Women—do you sleep in a dark room?  If not, you may want to start.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  New research from the NIH found that women who are exposed to artificial light during sleep, whether it be from TV or a turned-on light, have a higher risk of becoming obese.  The research included more than 43,000 women and spanned over 5 and half years.  They not only found it can lead to obesity, but also large amounts of light in a participant's sleep environment led to a higher BMI and waist to hip ratio.  Sleep durations were also shorter and healthy eating choices were lower in these individuals.   You may want to start turning off the TV and making sure your room is dark before falling asleep.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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".  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Are you a raw egg eater?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Raw eggs can be found in ice cream, eggnog, hollandaise sauce, and uncooked cookie dough.  The FDA estimates that 30 people die each year from eating Salmonella contaminated eggs.  Salmonella can be found in the reproductive organs of some hens.  Things like age, stress levels, vaccinations, and even the diet of a hen can affect Salmonella risk.  You can prevent Salmonella contamination by pasteurizing the eggs.  If you have cancer, HIV, diabetes, or a have had an organ transplant, you are at a higher risk for developing foodborne illnesses.  Talk to your doctor if you develop a fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting, or diarrhea after consuming raw eggs.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

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 notice your blood pressure readings are only high when you go to the doctor?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  That blood pressure spike is often called "white coat syndrome".  It's a common belief that the blood pressure spikes are from the stress of being at the doctors office.  While true, it can also be considered as a precursor to developing hypertension.  New research out of University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia found that people suffering from "white coat syndrome" were 36% more likely to develop heart disease.  Based on this research, scientists are suggesting that patients closely monitor and check their blood pressure outside of doctor's office.  Don't have an electronic blood pressure cuff at home?  Most pharmacies have a free reading station.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Kidney disease is on the rise in the US and scientists may have figured out why.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Two Thirds of chronic kidney disease cases are caused by ether diabetes or high blood pressure.  In 2012, farmers in California, Florida, and Colorado died of kidney disease, but they didn't have any of the usual risk factors.  Until now, the reason why remained a mystery.  Researchers at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus observed that the farmers had been exposed to heavy amounts of pesticides.  Similarly, Sri Lanka has faced a kidney disease 'epidemic'.  But this time, not only were farmers affected, but also the people who were drinking the well water.  The pesticides from the plants were being washed into the water supply.  It's time to start eating organic!

Keeping your mouth clean may help prevent a stroke.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off by a blood clot.  This results in a lack of oxygen being brought to the brain and can lead to tissue death and loss of brain function. According to a new study, good oral health may be key to stroke prevention. New research out of Tampere University in Finland found oral bacteria in the blood clots of stroke victims.  The study consisted of 75 ischemic stroke victims.  They sampled the blood clot after removal and found that 79% of participants had oral bacteria in their blood clots. More research will need to be completed to better understand the data collected. In the meantime, make sure that you are seeing your dentist regularly.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Are you getting enough sleep?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  In case you needed another reason to get more sleep, a new study has linked circulation problems with lack of sleep.  In fact, only getting 6 hours of sleep a night, instead of the recommended 7 to 8, can increase your chances of developing plaque in your arteries by 27%.  University of Colorado Boulder has located the biological mechanism that occurs during sleep that prevents plaque buildup. The participants of the study that slept less than 7 hours a night had fewer microRNAs than those that slept 7 to 8 hours.  These types of RNAs are responsible for suppressing the expression of proinflammatory proteins.  Make sure that you are getting the recommended 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, your heart health depends on it.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

 You may want to lay off the high fructose corn syrup.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  High fructose corn syrup is manufactured from corn starch and is used as a sweetening agent in foods.  When consumed in large amounts, it can lead to metabolic syndrome, tooth decay, and obesity.  Although it's not as popular as it was in the 90s, it is still often found to sodas, packaged fruits, processed desserts, crackers, and even salad dressings.  In 2012, researchers found countries that allowed the use of high fructose corn syrup in foods had 20% more cases of diabetes.  According to a 2017 study, mice who ate high fructose corn syrup could not properly digest glucose, making their levels higher.  Be sure to check for high fructose corn syrup before buying your groceries.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Do you suffer from diabetes mellitus?  If so, you may want to listen up!  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Diabetic ketoacidosis can happen when the body does not make or receive enough insulin, causing the body to break down fat, not sugar, for energy.  This fat is turned into acids called ketones by the liver.  Ketones spill over into urine when they build in the bloodstream.  When this happens, it begins to turn the blood acidic—making it a medical emergency.  Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rabid breathing, fruity smell to breath, weakness, and confusion.  Diabetic ketoacidosis is more likely to happen to people with type 1 diabetes, but it can occur in people with type 2 diabetes.  Risk factors for people with type 2 diabetes include age, race, and obesity.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Are you taking Tramadol?  You may want to be cautious while taking it.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Tramadol is known to be a less addictive opioid that most doctors deem "safe-er" than the others.  In fact, tramadol wasn't even considered an opioid until 2014.  So, it must be safe, right?  Think again.  New research out of Mayo Clinic found that tramadol has addictive qualities—even though it's only considered a schedule 4 controlled substance.   According to the study, surgical patients that were given tramadol had a higher risk of prolonged use than with other common opioids.  Talk to your doctor if you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of opioid addiction.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Have you ever wondered why the flu is so prevalent in the winter?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  New research out of Yale University may provide an answer.  The study consisted of two groups of mice, both kept in the same temperature.  One group had normal humidity and the other low humidity.  Both groups were exposed to the flu type A virus.  The group of mice in low humidity were more likely to develop the virus.  Because of the lack of humidity, cilia were not able to properly remove the virus or tainted mucus from their airways.  It also inhibited damage repair to infected parts of the lungs.  Obviously, humidity is not the only factor in flu outbreaks, but it does play a role.  You may want to plug in the humidifiers at home and at work during the winter months.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Are you constantly bumping into things?  It may be your brain's fault.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Our vision provides us with a sense of our surroundings.  Until now, it has remained a mystery how our brain and vision work together to perceive the geometry of our surroundings.  New research out of Columbia University's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and Aalto University in Finland found a region of the brain that orients us in our space, thus keeping us from bumping into objects.  They achieved this by using functional MRIs and magnetoencephalography.  Using these technologies, scientists were able to see where spatial recognition occurred in the brain and how quickly it emerged.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Do you have a family history of colon cancer?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  A colorectal cancer vaccine may be available in the near future.  Results from phase 1 of a recent clinical trial were published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer and they were promising.  The trial consisted of 10 participants with either type 1 or 2 colon cancer.  The vaccine was administered to each individual and they returned for blood work at days 30, 90, and 180.  The blood work showed evidence of activated killer T cells— which are used to destroy colon cancer cells.  These results pave the way for more research.  The vaccine also had no serious side effects! Without a family history of colon cancer, screenings should begin at age 50.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Is it nature or nurture?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  When it comes to obesity and type 2 diabetes, science may provide an answer.  That answer is epigenetics.  Epigenetics is the methylation of genes—without altering the genetic code.  The methylation acts as a "light switch", turning genes on and off.  New research out of Lund University in Sweden found that the number of epigenetic modifications made throughout the genome could be a predictor of a person's BMI.  Even diet has the capability to affect gene expression.  Scientists have found that it's easier to turn on epigenetic changes through overfeeding than dieting.  Even a 5-day high fat diet, altered gene expression.  Talk to your doctor if you have questions regarding your weight or diabetes.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

It's time for another mental health check. Women listen up!  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  It's popular belief that exercise can help treat depression, but new research shows this may not help everyone.  According to the WHO, depression is on the rise and is the number one cause of disability worldwide. Much research has show that exercise may be just as effective at treating depression as antidepressants.  According to new research out of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the benefits of exercise when treating depression may vary in men and women.  In the study, the link between depression and exercise only manifested in men, not women.  Meaning, women did not experience symptom relief from exercise.  But remember, this is only one study and exercise should always be your first line of defense. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing symptoms of depression.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Do you think that certain food additives aren't bad for you?  Think again.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  E171 is a food additive used as a coloring agent.  It's prevalent in various foods, such as: candy, cake-icing, and chewing gum.  A 2018 study found that the consumption of E171 lead to the formation of colon cancer tumors in mice.  Another study that was recently published in the journal Environmental Science: Nano found that the additive also changed the cell function and upkeep of the GI tract, damaging necessary self-protective mechanisms.  France is planning on a ban of this additive starting early next year.  Hopefully, the US will jump on the bandwagon.  It's time to start checking your food labels and look for products that have no artificial colors or additives.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

 The US is currently facing an opioid epidemic.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  In 2017 the US Department of Health and Human Services, referred to as the HHS, declared the epidemic a public health emergency.  Nearly 130 people die daily due to an opioid related overdose.  So how did we get here?  According to the HHS, in the 1990s, pharmaceutical companies told the medical community that opioids did not possess addictive qualities.  Practitioners then began prescribing them at higher rates.  This led to widespread misuse before the medical community realized the medications were highly addictive. Surgeons and dentists are often too liberal with opioid use, so beware and ask for alternate medications instead. Seek medical help if you or a loved one are experiencing an opioid addiction.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

The Study's that support drinking wine for your health have been debunked. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. I know many of you were thrilled when the so called experts came out telling you that drinking was good for you, but it turns out they were wrong. That's bad news for the 2.3 billion people who drink alcohol. Even the old red wine twist is no longer valid, as a matter of fact, you'd have to drink bottles a night to have enough Resveratrol to help with anti-aging. Not only is heavy drinking bad for you, even just a few glasses of we per night can increase your stroke risk by 10 to 15%. For those that drink more than that, the risk goes up to 35%. Why the change of heart on this topic? We can now look at the way alcohol affects our genetic expression, something that we didn't have the ability to do in the past. A special thanks to Oxford University's Nuffield Department of Population Health for helping unveil the truth behind the bottle.

Are you a protein shake junkie? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Protein shakes and drinks are all the rage, but too much of a good thing is not always a good thing. A new study out of the University of Sydney looked at the effects of too much protein and found that it could actually shorten your life. Keep in mind that the average adult needs between 50-60 grams of protein spread out over a day. That's combined protein from all sources. Many protein bars and shakes on the market contain close to that. What happens to all that excess protein? Well, it could be making you fat and or depressed. My advice to you is to limit your protein shakes or bars to no more than three a week and use them as meal replacements and never as just a snack.

Do you procrastinate?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  New research out of University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom found that chronic procrastination has been linked to low self-esteem and high levels of stress.  Studies have also shown that people who put things off tend to have larger amygdalas- the part of the brain that processes anxiety and fear.  Procrastination is essentially a double-edged sword.  You procrastinate because you're stressed and then stressed because you procrastinated.  You can avoid this by making and completing task lists with finish by dates off to the side.  You can also try breaking up the work over a few days instead of cramming it all into one.  Remember to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

What does a cell phone game and Alzheimer's have in common?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Diagnosing early Alzheimer's can be difficult.  That's because the diagnosis mainly relies on signs of impaired memory.  A new smartphone game developed by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and University College London in the U.K., and Deutsche Telekom uses special navigation to predict Alzheimer's.  The game was played by 27,000 participants.  30% of those participants carry the gene for Alzheimer's disease.  Researchers were able to distinguish which participants carried the gene by the way they played the game.  Talk to your doctor if you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Are you underweight?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  If your BMI is less than 18.5 percent, you are considered underweight.  You may be thinking that is a good problem to have.  Think again.  Risks for osteoporosis, malnutrition, hair loss, and a bad immune system go up as your weight continues to go down.  Eating a few candy bars is not the best way to try to gain some weight.  Increase your milk intake and try a few protein shakes.  Rice, nut butters, avocados, dark chocolate, whole grain cereals, eggs, and dried fruits can also aid in fast and safe weight gain.  It's important to track your weight and to build muscle, not just fat. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about being underweight. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Something smells fishy.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  Have you noticed more Omega-3 and fish oil labels hitting the shelves?  That's because fish oil has amazing health benefits.  They contain Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D.  Fish oils and Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, post-partum depression, psychosis, epilepsy, and age-related vision loss.  They can also provide behavioral improvements to children with ADHD.  If you don't eat fish, plenty of vegetables contain Omega-3 fatty acids.  These include: fresh basil, leafy dark vegetables, flax, hempseed, and walnuts.  Although, Omega-3s can be quite helpful when it comes to your health, they can aggravate certain conditions.  Talk to your doctor about adding this supplement to your daily routine.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Do you drink alcohol?  You may want to rethink the extra drink.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  A new study out of the University of Cambridge showed that even having one extra drink could shave months, even years off of your life.  According to the study, drinking excess alcohol can also lead to cardiovascular diseases.  The study consisted of 600,000 participants and spanned over 19 countries.  Shocker! Out of all of the counties, the US alcohol guidelines were found to be one of the most lenient.  The magic number is seven.  Seven STANDARD DRINKS were considered "safe".  What's a standard drink?  A small can of beer or a 5 ounce glass of wine.  Turns out, an extra glass a day does not keep the doctor away.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Is grilled meat increasing your blood pressure?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  It's almost summertime.  That means it's time to uncover your pool and break out the grill.  But, before you do, a new study from the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health may convince you otherwise.  Studies in the past have shown that certain foods can increase blood pressure.  Although, true, this new study states that the way the food is cooked can also influence blood pressure.  High temperature cooking and the "doneness" of your meat can contribute to your hypertension risk.  If you already have high blood pressure, you may want to consider having fewer cookouts and more picnics this summer.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Are you obese?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for cancer.  In that past, scientists have believed that caloric restriction may be key to preventing tumor growth.  According to new research this may not be the case.  A study published from the University of California in San Diego showed that metabolic rate may be the key to avoiding tumor growth.  Instead of caloric restriction, scientists found that time restriction may be the best option.  In the study, a control group and experimental group of mice were injected with breast cancer cells.  The experimental group that was given access to food for only 8 hours a day had a lowered risk for tumor growth.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Do you think your skin is infected?  You may be right.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  Cellulitis, not to be confused with cellulite, is an infection caused by bacteria in the deep layers of the skin.  It can begin suddenly and become life threatening if not properly treated.  Symptoms of cellulitis include redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness, inflammation, and pain.  It's most commonly caused by cuts, bites, burns, and ulcers.   If you have psoriasis or eczema, you may be at a higher risk for developing cellulitis.  Drinking plenty of water and elevating the affected area may help alleviate symptoms.  Be sure to talk to your doctor and seek medical help if you believe you are suffering from cellulitis.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Are you iron deficient?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  Iron deficiency can cause dizziness, headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, temperature sensitivity, hair loss, and heart palpitations.  A deficiency occurs when there is not enough iron present in the blood.  Without it, your body can't produce hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen throughout the body—making iron essential for life.  If you think your iron is low, try adding iron-rich foods into your diet, such as: spinach, peas, sweet potatoes, tofu, liver, beef, and clams.  In some cases, an iron-deficiency can be caused by serious health problems.  It's important to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Coming up, our special guest Lauren Midgley.  Segment 2: Lauren Midgley, based in Dallas-Ft. Worth Texas, became an entrepreneur in 2010 after a 25+ year career with two Fortune 500 companies.  Her depth of knowledge and understanding of time management come from being an executive managing a team and being a business owner herself. Immortal Minute We really can't manage time…but we can manage our own "time formula". Night begins the day. Our 24 day really starts when go to sleep.  If slept well, we will be more productive.  If not, it will be a less productive day. The saying "get twice as much done in ½ the time" is a myth. The thought of trying to do that raises our anxiety --- we work less effectively with less clarity when we are anxious. Build downtime into the white spaces of your schedule. Know what is your "go-to" downtime technique to clear your mind and how to get to a calm state. Segment 3: Today we're talking about time management with Lauren Midgley.  Where we trip ourselves up --- we think we can do more than we have time available. The starting point is knowing your "capacity of time" for each day AND how much time task(s) will take.  Then schedule accordingly. Stick to the task…rather than jump around to other tasks or allowing yourself to be interrupted while on one task. The task jumping is what causes us to be mentally fatigued. Know what routines/checklists really work for you. Build more of them into your day if you can – adds to your efficiency and gives your brain a rest from decision making.

Are you the type of person that doesn't want to grow old? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Some people talk about how old and sick they're getting while others fight aging every step of the way. For those of you who want to stay young, you may be on to something. According to a new study out of Yale, people who remained positive while aging are less likely to get Alzheimer's. The researchers followed over forty seven hundred people, 26% of which had the genetic predisposition for Alzheimer's.  Those with the gene variant who refused to subscribe to the negative aging talk were nearly 50% less likely to develop dementia.  This is completely in line with previous studies that prove attitude can affect gene expression.

Do you cough after you eat? If so, it may be a sign. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Coughing after you eat may be related to several things. For example, some people cough if they eat a food they're sensitive to or allergic to. Many people don't realize that they have such sensitivities. Another common cause is acid-reflux, where the food and stomach acid actually travels back up the esophagus. And for those people who suffer from asthma, some foods contain sulfites, which can trigger an asthma attack. Beer, wine, pickled onions, dried fruit, and soft drinks are just a few of the items asthma patients should avoid. So, if you tend to cough after a meal or during a meal, pay special attention to your diet and talk to your doctor.

Tough topic for this show, but one that needs a thoughtful discussion. There are 16.9 million caregivers in the US, and of that number 5.6 million of them are caring for wounded veterans. While some of those caregivers are the husbands--most of them are the wives. These men and women never get the proper training and they are kind of left to figure it out as they go--this show is for them. We will inspire those caregivers to keep going, and keep helping. We will give tips and tricks for proper care, and times to note when to seek professional help.    Thank you for listening to the Stay Young Radio Show!

Are you a fidgeter? This is Judy Gaman and this is your stay young medical minute. When some people get nervous or impatient they fidget. Fidgeting is the act of small movements with the hands of feet as a way to release pent up energy. You've probably all seen these little fidget spinners, perhaps you own one. One thing you may not know is that these little spinners come with a health hazard to kids. The Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition is working to get the word out that fidget spinners have caused a number of deaths and injuries to small children. Often the strong magnets come loose and children choke. Also, the ones that light up contain small lithium batteries. Some children have swallowed these batteries and had significant health issues as a result, even after having these surgically removed. Bottom line, keep your fidget spinners at work and out of the hands of children.

Vitamin D deficiency is a major health concern in our country, but checking only your vitamin D level may be a moot point. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  A review published in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association may unveil the reason 50% of our population is low in Vitamin D. It turns out that vitamin D, without adequate magnesium may not do you any good. Doctors are regularly checking vitamin D and prescribing supplementation, but doing so without also checking magnesium could be a mistake.  The recommended daily allowance for magnesium is 420 mg for males and 320 mg for females. Unfortunately, the average daily consumption through diet in the US contains only about half of that. Lesson – Vitamin D and Magnesium supplements should be prescribed together as well as tested together.

Sometimes the hair on our head gives clues to other health issues. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Ok guys, new research from the University of Bonn linked hair loss to other factors. The researchers looked at 20,000 men's genetic code and found 63 alterations that were also linked to hair loss. For example, short men are more likely to go bald. Bald men are more likely to have prostate cancer. Men that went through puberty early are more likely to go bald. These are just a few of the findings, but interesting nonetheless. This research just emphasizes that what you see on the outside is often a reflection of what's going on inside of the body. Remember that hair loss in both men and women is often associated with a change in hormone levels, so be sure to see your doctor if you start seeing more hair in your brush or on your pillow.

How's your breath?  Do you use mouthwash?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  Mouthwash is a great way to prevent bad breath and improve dental hygiene.  In fact, many dentists recommend the use of mouthwash daily.  But, did you know it may increase blood pressure.  New research published in the journal: Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, shows that antiseptic mouthwash kills good oral bacteria that are responsible for converting dietary nitrate into nitric oxide (NO).  Nitric oxide aids in regulating blood pressure and without it, blood pressure begins to increase.  Don't throw away the mouthwash just yet.  The study was relatively small and more research needs to be completed.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

A Physician's Personal Journey from the Darkness of Traumatic Brain Injury to Hope, Healing and Recovery It is estimated that 750,000 veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan struggle with the effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a form of brain injury. 40% - 70% will become addicted to some substance within the first year if undiagnosed and untreated. Therefore, adequately treating TBI early on will assist in curbing the opiate crisis as well as decrease alcoholism and drug dependencies. TBI patients have a greater risk of suicide. This is the END GAME for undiagnosed or improperly treated TBI. Patients with TBI are prone to unemployment which often leads to homelessness and incarceration.  DOC SHOCK Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have unveiled a significant breakthrough in Alzheimer's disease. They proved that a blood-clotting protein called fibrinogen crosses the blood brain barrier and destroys connections between neurons in the brain (Synapses). This fibrinogen then activates the brain's immune cells. Basically that some Alzheimer's is caused by "leaky brain" (sound familiar? - Leaky Gut)  Read more! Follow us on Facebook!

Show Topic: Understanding Cholesterol and Other Bio Markers Co-Hosts:  Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson, Walter Gaman Guest: None Segment 1: Today we are talking about lipids: Cholesterol, triglycerides, and other biomarkers that are important. What is cholesterol and where does it come from? Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the body. It is essential for good health and forms part of the lining (membrane) of every cell. It plays a part in the production of hormones (estrogen and testosterone), production of bile for digestion, and is necessary for production of Vitamin D While cholesterol is made in small quantities throughout the body, the majority of cholesterol your body makes is made in the liver Cholesterol can also be taken in from outside sources like meat, dairy, and saturated vegetable oils like coconut and palm oils. Good Cholesterol – HDL –High density lipoprotein. These have a higher amount of protein than fat. The "job" of HDL is to clear cholesterol from the body by picking up cholesterol from cells and carrying it back to the liver for disposal. Too low of HDL puts you at risk for heart disease and high levels have an extra protective effect. Bad Cholesterol – LDL – Low-density lipoprotein. These have more fat than protein and make up the bulk of the cholesterol. LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to other parts of the body. Here it works on cell repair. High LDL increases risk for heart disease because it deposits its cholesterol part onto artery walls. It also causes inflammation because it deposits into other body tissues too, like as tendons. Preference Guidelines – Total cholesterol >200 HDL >60   LDL DOC SHOCK A new study out of Duke may pave the way to a new blood test that will let doctors know if arteries are narrowed or blocked. In their pilot study they looked at 40 participants who came through the emergency room and underwent a stress test that proved they had blockage. These participants showed that they all had the same 5 fatty acid or amino acid metabolite changes. Changes that are not seen in non-cardiac patients. As they work to narrow down the exact marker and do further studies, we may be adding to our cardiac labs panels in the near future. Read more! Follow us on Facebook! Tweet us on Twitter! Download the show on iTunes! Visit our website! Call us at 844-well 100 Segment 2: Today's topic is understanding cholesterol, triglycerides, and other bio-marks for heart disease. We're going to continue our discussion on Cholesterol before moving on to triglycerides. Immortal Minute Cholesterol Ratio – this is where we look to see what amount of the total number is made up of "bad" cholesterol. This is done by taking the total number of cholesterol and subtracting the good cholesterol. This number, ideally, would be 130 or less. VLDL – Very-low density lipoprotein. This is the worst kind of cholesterol. It is associated with the highest risk for heart disease and stroke. Triglycerides – The main form of fat within the body. While some trigycerides are necessary, too much can lead to heart disease and stroke. Smoking, alcohol, diabetes, and some medications, like beta blockers, birth control, and diuretics, can contribute to high triglyceride levels. When LDL and triglycerides are both high – plaque forms in the arteries causing blockages. Familial hypercholesterolemia - a genetic disorder in which there is a defect on chromosome 19. The defect makes the body unable to remove low density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad) cholesterol from the blood. Bio-markers – Cardio CRP – what inflammation means. Segment 3: Today we're talking about lipid panels and other bio-markers for heart disease. Sometimes medications are necessary, but they come with side effects. While we'll talk about these medications, we also want to give you guidelines for correcting your numbers naturally through diet. Common medications for lipids and their side effects – an open discussion. How and why diet is effective Exercise – another necessary component for raising HDL Personal experience Patient success stories Segment 4: Medical Mania Trivia  - Katie Name two benefits of bio-identical testosterone replacement (lean muscle mass, libido, improved cognition, etc.) Which vitamin has been proven to help with seasonal effective disorder, a condition that is most prevalent during winter months? (D) Can anti-biotics cure the flu? (No – it's a virus) If someone has blepharoplasty, what part of their body was operated on?

Throw out that TV dinner!  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  According to new research, ultra-processed foods, like frozen TV dinners and sodas, can lead to an early death.  These foods make up, on average, 57.9 percent of the western diet.  Crazy right?  Diabetes and hypertension are on the rise in the US and ultra-processed foods may be to blame.  These foods are low in fiber and high in sodium, fat, and sugar.  Not only can ultra-processed foods lead to hypertension and obesity, they can also lead to cancer.  So, what are you waiting for?  Throw out the junk and buy more fresh produce and meats.  Instead of hitting up the drive through, prep your meals at home ahead of time.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Bright lights can strain the eyes and cause migraines. Have sex – that's right, it's not an excuse anymore. Sex has been proven to reduce headache frequency and duration as well as stop one dead in it's tracks. Spend time meditating or praying. This allows your brain to slow down and recover from stressors. Research shows that the part of your brain that is activated during prayer or meditation is not activated at any other time.

Show Topic: Ketogenic Diet- Understanding it with Thom King   Co-Hosts:  Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson, Walter Gaman Guest: Thom King  Segment 1: There are so many diets out there and the New Year is often the time when people decide to make changes to their diet. We decided to do a show today on the Ketogenic Diet and here in a bit, we're bringing on Thom King author of the book Man Gone Keto Funny discussion about holidays in a home of mixed dietary restrictions Hosts discuss different diets they've tried over the course of their lives (best and worst so far) We chose the Keto diet because it is actually published in the medical literature and sometimes used as part of the treatment plan for neurological disorders, epilepsy and some cancers Ketogenic diet dates back to 1923 with Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic using it for the treatment of epilepsy Keto diets can vary, but they mostly stem from the classic Keto diet which rearranges the macronutrients: the fat, protein, carb ratio. In the Classic Keto diet 90% of calories come from fat in a classic Ketogenic Diet, while 6% come from protein, and 4% come from carb The purpose of KETO is to keep the body in a state of Ketosis, which in turn, enhances the ability of mitochondria, the power plants of our cells. This increases our energy and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. Types of Keto diets include: Classic, Modified Ketogenic, MCT oil Diet, Low Gylcemic Index treatment, and Modified Adkins DOC SHOCK This is so exciting and we have to hand it to the research team at University of California – Berkeley. If you or someone you know suffers from Parkinson's or Seizures, your life may change forever. They have discovered a closed-loop system that can listen to and correct brain waves at the same time and in the same region. It's like a pacemaker for the brain. Unlike some of the other brain stimulators, this is a smart system that learns the patient's waves and responds appropriately and it's also external. Read more! Follow us on Facebook!

Did you know how you use olive oil will determine the health benefits. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Olive oil, which is most known for the role it plays in the healthy Mediterranean Diet, is filled with anti-oxidants. These anti-oxidants help your body fight off oxidative stress, the kind that causes inflammation and leads to disease. But – did you know that heating the olive oil actually reduces its benefits? It's best to use olive oil as part of a dressing or use it for dipping. You may have noticed that there are all types of olive oils at the store. Pick up the extra virgin olive oil which is the one with the most antioxidants. Studies have shown that consuming a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil per day can actually decrease your risk of dying from a stroke or heart attack. If you're used to using olive oil to sauté with, you may want to switch your hot dishes to avocado oil because it can stay beneficial at higher temperatures.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas a global leader in anti-aging and preventative health.

How nutty are you? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Many people avoid nuts because they think they're high in fat. While it's true that nuts do have fat, it's a good fat. The kind of fat that is good for your brain and encourages sharper thinking. Nuts may also aid in weight loss and the prevention of diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Research shows that people who eat nuts often have a higher metabolism. As far as nutrition, you can count on nuts to supply your body with vitamin E for healthy skin and magnesium which helps regulate several parts of your health, including your sleep cycle. So, next time you're at the store, be sure to grab nuts, not chips, to snack on. Some of my personal favorites because of their high nutrient levels are pistachios and walnuts. Not sure which ones you like best? Go for a container of mixed nuts – but be sure to avoid nuts that have been salted.

That's why the CDC has put out a call to "Take 3" when it comes to protecting yourself. Step 1 – Get your flu vaccine. While it doesn't protect against all strains, it does protect against the most common. Step 2 – Take preventative actions like washing your hands, disinfecting door handles, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. The third and final step is to see your healthcare provider if you think you may have the flu. There are very good antiviral medications that can help reduce the severity of the flu and help you get back to what I like to call the land of the living.

Having trouble keeping your body on a schedule? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. When most people think of healthy schedules, they often think of their sleep patterns. While it's important to get on a sleep schedule and stick to it, new research shows that when you eat and when you fast can also affect your circadian rhythm. The body comes to expect certain activities and eating is one of them. Many different cultures have fasted from time to time for various reasons. What they didn't know, but scientists from the University of California, Irvine discovered, is that fasting can also trigger gene expression. This may be why many people can eat the same foods, but some will and some will not gain weight. So, get on a healthy eating schedule and stop that late night snacking.

Did you know that housework has mental benefits? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. If you're thinking of hiring a housekeep for yourself or your aging parents, you may want to think again. New research shows that exercise, including that which people get through housework, actually comes with the benefit of protecting the brain. Often as people age, they slow down, but those who keep moving, stooping, bending, scrubbing and vacuuming have quite the mental advantage. This is according to new research that followed adults with and without cognitive impairment for over 20 years. This study, which was published in the medical journal Neurology, is unique because it not only measured cognition and mobility on patients over time, but unlike most studies, the post mortem brain examination gave valuable, indisputable evidence between the link. So get moving and stay moving. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas a global leader in anti-aging and preventative health.

Are you shrinking your brain?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Stress seems to be at an all-time high in America. Turns out, high levels of stress can shrink your brain.  That's because stress causes the body to secrete a hormone called cortisol.  High levels of cortisol have been linked to heart disease, depression, hypertension, and obesity.  It can also lead to decreased grey matter in the brain.  If you are overstressed, get moving.  Even a quick walk around the block can give your mind the clarity it needs to sort through stressors.  It's also important to sleep and eat well.  Both will give you the physical energy your body needs to fight off rising cortisol levels.  Talk to your doctor if you are worried about your stress levels.  Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing symptoms of depression.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Look down, are your feet purple or white?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Raynaud's Disease is a common condition that leads to discoloration of the hands or feet.  This happens when blood vessels are constricted due to temporary spasm.  People with Raynaud's may also experience pain, numbness, or tingling in the extremities.  These attacks are usually caused by cold weather, stress, or anxiety and are usually short lived.  Although most cases are mild, the doctor may need to prescribe medicine to help with the symptoms.  Raynaud's Disease can also be a symptom of Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis.  So, it's important to talk to your doctor if you're experiencing symptoms of Raynaud's.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Touch is one of the most powerful senses a person has.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  According to a new study published in Psychological Science, touch may be more powerful than originally thought.  The study suggests that touch is more helpful than sight in creating memories.  In the study, participants were blindfolded and asked to touch ten different objects.  They were then tested to see if they could remember the objects. They were given two objects and had to distinguish which was one was the original.  94% of the participants were able to identify the object while blindfolded.  This number dropped below 75% after the blindfolds were taken off.  If you are looking to make lasting memories, try incorporating the power of touch.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

It's time for another mental health check.  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Suicide rates are on the rise.  The World Health Organization estimates that over 800,000 people commit suicide yearly.  It is also the second leading cause of death in people ages 15 to 29.  New research out of University of Utah suggests that genetics may play a role in suicide risk.  Researchers were able to examine the genetics of 1,300 DNA samples of people who lost their lives to suicide.  Using this information, they were able to localize four genetic variants and 207 genes that influenced their risk.  This research could pave the way for better treatment options for suicidal thoughts and tendencies.  Talk to your doctor if you or a loved one are battling suicidal thoughts.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Is your personality killing you?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Our personalities are constantly changing as we face different life events.  Did you know your personality plays a role in your longevity?  The University of Rochester Medical Center, the American Institute for Research in DC, and the University of Illinois decided to dig a little deeper.  They gathered information from over 1,200 US high schools from 1960 and looked for links between certain personality traits and the overall lifespan of those individuals.  Researchers used personality tests to gather their data.  They found that teenagers who scored high on calmness, empathy, curiosity, tidiness, and maturity and lower in impulsivity had a decreased risk of all-cause death later in life.  So, when you tell your child you "lose the tude", you may be helping them live longer.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is about finding a new way to handle your stress. Stress is real and sometimes it's unavoidable. How you handle that stress is the difference between good health and bad health. In order to stay healthy, you need to have good outlets. Things like journaling before bed, exercising in the morning and evening, and adequate sleep will all help your body recover when it's on overload. Don't flip on the television, specifically the news, and think that will help you calm down. Instead, it will have the opposite effect. We all have only so much mental bandwidth. Use yours wisely. When you feel yourself getting stress, acknowledge it and take steps to burn the excess energy off. Don't be afraid to turn on the radio and sing along to your favorite song at the top of your lungs, or take up kickboxing when the stress is really high.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is about improving your hydration. Over 60 percent of the body is made up of water. And your brain composition is 80% water. If you're feeling fatigued or have a slight headache, you may need more water. Because so much of your brain is water, a lack of water can cause you to forget things or lose your train of thought. The rest of your body may feel crampy or achy. And even though you know you need to drink more water – you may find it hard to keep up with. Here's some tips. If you're a bottle water drinker, set out the number of bottles you need to consume per day. You can calculate your ideal intake by taking the number of your weight and cutting that in half. For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, you need 100 ounces. Having the water set out ahead of time will keep you on track. Don't like plain water? Add some fruit or cucumbers to it. However you get it in, just get it in.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, your leader in concierge medicine and age management.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is about the foods you need to improve your cognitive function and overall mood. Are you tired of feeling grumpy and foggy headed? It may be what you're eating or what you're not eating. Set a goal to eat cold water fish, like salmon, twice a week. Also, avoid packaged and processed foods like chips and crackers. Even the ones that claim to be healthy really aren't – it's simply a marketing ploy. Instead, opt for berries for a snack, like blueberries or blackberries. They'll help boost your brain power and improve your mood. Small changes like this can make a big impact on your day. When you feel better and smarter, relationships and job performance will improve.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, your leader in concierge medicine and age management.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is all about exercise. You don't have to join a gym or spend a bunch of money. The key is to just start moving more. Yoga or other low impact exercises can be done at home with a DVD or through videos on your computer or phone. Even just walking around the block every evening will yield great benefits. Even the researchers at University of California – Irvine agree that it doesn't have to be much. A new study they conducted showed that even 10 minutes of exercise per day can improve your brain function. Look at that – you can improve your physical body as well as your mental capacity through small and easy steps. Really, there's no excuse. The key to this goal is to be specific. Don't just say you want to exercise more. Instead, come up with something measureable like walking 10,000 steps per day or doing 30 minutes of yoga three times a week.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Let's start with clearing out the clutter. Don't wait for Spring time, start now. Even if you only do a little bit every day, eventually your decluttering will have a significant impact on your mental and physical health. My suggestion is to get three boxes and line them up side by side. Mark them with "Keep" "Throw Away" and "Donate". This will keep you from running back and forth from place to place. Once you are done filling the boxes, you're done for the day. Take the "throw away" items to the trash. Drop off the "donate" and put the "keep" items in their rightful place. Repeat each day until you're done. But don't be too quick to say out with the old and in with the new. Instead, resist the urge to fill your space back up with more stuff.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, your leader in concierge medicine and age management.

The Staying Young Show Show Topic: "The Psychology of Good Health with Ronald Smith" Co-Hosts:  Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson Guest: Professor Ronald Smith  Segment 1: An important part of taking ownership of your own health is to stop playing the victim card. (open discussion) How psychology affects your health  DOC SHOCK Suicide rates are on the rise.  The World Health Organization estimates that over 800,000 people commit suicide yearly.  It is also the second leading cause of death in people ages 15 to 29.  New research out of University of Utah suggests that genetics may play a role in suicide risk.  Researchers were able to examine the genetics of 1,300 DNA samples of people who lost their lives to suicide.  Using this information, they were able to localize four genetic variants and 207 genes that influence suicide risk.  This research could pave the way for better treatment options for suicidal thoughts and tendencies.  Talk to your doctor if you or a loved one are battling suicidal thoughts.

He is skilled in student development, research, and adult education.  He was recently a political analyst on mid-term election night for ABC affiliate KAVU-TV in Victoria, TX.  -It seems like we are taught from an early age to either rise above challenges or stay a victim.  Do you think family life can play a role in this? -How can playing the "blame game" or "poor me" card become dangerous? -Do you believe that social media can exacerbate the victim mentality mindset? Segment 3: We have Professor Ronald Smith on our show today discussing the psychology of good health and wellness.  -What are some ways our listeners can break free from a victim mentality mindset? -Tell us about a time you faced major challenges and circumstances.  What was the key to your success? In 2013, I was homeless sleeping out of my truck. I was looking for full-time work as a college professor working multiple jobs part-time with little income. It was a low point in my life. However, I continued to stay positive although I felt miserable mostly and my circumstances started to change. I eventually moved back into an apartment and shortly after I received a full-time teaching job in upstate New York, which I ultimately parlayed into a full-time teaching job back home in Texas closer to family. So, in a few years I went from basically being homeless to having a full-time professor job, being on television as a political commentator and doing a radio show with prominent figures. If I would have wallowed in my misfortunes and maintained a (victim mentality) then perhaps I wouldn't have had the motivation to continue through with reaching my goals.   Segment 4:  Medical Mania Trivia – Chris What color is blood before it hits the surface? A. Red B. Green C. Blue D. Orange (A: A. Red, it is only blue when there is a lack of oxygen) True or false.

Each day I bring you one new tip that will help you stay young and vibrant. I heard a comment over the holidays that really struck me. One of my family members said brown sugar was healthier than regular white sugar. Well, Sugar that's the color of dirt doesn't make it more "natural" or healthier than its white counterpart. The color comes from a common residual sticky syrup, called molasses. Brown sugar retains some of that molasses. In fact, brown sugar is mostly white sugar with some molasses — so refining it further would give you white table sugar. While molasses contains some vitamins and minerals like potassium and magnesium, there is not enough in your standard brown sugar packet that should make you reach for it if you're trying to eat healthier. As far as your body is concerned, white and brown sugar are one-in-the-same.We want to empower you with as much health information as possible.

Your body naturally removes harmful chemicals through the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract — there's nothing about juice that will hurry that process along. Juicing mainly just removes digestion-aiding fiber from fruits and vegetables. Also consider that many sugary fruit juices are as bad for you as sodas. While some juices are just fine, they don't provide anything that you wouldn't get by eating the whole components instead. We want to empower you with as much health information as possible.

According to Lancaster University, they found a significant difference in iphone users vs android users, stating that Android users are more honest. Seriously? iphone users are apparently younger, twice as likely to be women and more extroverted. Android users tend to be older, male, more honest, and more agreeable. I guess they're right on the agreeable thing. I have an iphone and I simply think this study is flawed.  More Info! We want to empower you with as much health information as possible.

Each day I bring you one new tip that will help you stay young and vibrant. This is a fascinating study out of Queen Mary in London. We all know men and women see the world differently, but now we know why women tend to clue into facial expressions a little bit more. Have you ever heard a woman say, " Did you see the way they looked at me?" and then her husband reply, "No. I didn't see that at all." Well, maybe they're both telling the truth. It turns out that women tend to look at people first in the left eye and then explore the entire face, spending much more time taking in the details, while men take much less time to observe before moving on. The study tracked the eye movements of 500 participants of all different nationalities and the distinction was clear, there are gender differences in the way we see the world, or at least the way we see each other!

The Staying Young Show Show Topic: How to Fight Holiday Stress Co-Hosts:  Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson Guest: Judith Orloff, MD Segment 1: Today we are discussing the different ways to combat holiday stress. What makes the holidays so stressful? Share stories DOC SHOCK Speaking of stress.  Are you shrinking your brain?  Turns out, high levels of stress can shrink your brain.  That's because stress causes the body to secrete a hormone called cortisol.  High levels of cortisol have been linked to heart disease, depression, hypertension, and obesity.  It can also lead to decreased grey matter in the brain.  If you are overstressed, get moving.  Even a quick walk around the block can give your mind the clarity it needs to sort through stressors.  It's also important to sleep and eat well.  Both will give you the physical energy your body needs to fight off rising cortisol levels.  Talk to your doctor if you are worried about your stress levels.  Learn More Follow Us on Facebook!

Limiting your caloric consumption may actually hurt your immune system more than helping it — it would certainly be a bad idea to not eat during the six- to eight-day duration of a cold. You need to give your body nutrients and healthy foods packed with vitamins to insulate your immune system to fight off the fever causing illness or infection. Doctors in Indiana actually say to go ahead and eat if you can, and make healthy and meaningful food choices especially during this time. They also reminded us to make sure to drink plenty of fluids.We want to empower you with as much health information as possible.

A new study focused on changes to working memory during pregnancy do show a small effect on the brain, though other studies show no negative impacts whatsoever—especially in the long-term. There's actually growing evidence that being pregnant makes women more organized and smarter. It makes sense, though, since pregnant women and new mothers have a lot more to worry about and think about — for their brains to keep up they may even be getting a boost. We want to empower you with as much health information as possible.

But if you grab it in five seconds, it's ok, right? The five-second-rule isn't a real thing. Bacteria can contaminate a food within milliseconds. Mythbusting tests show that moist foods attract more bacteria than dry foods, but there's no "safe duration." Instead, safety depends on how clean the surface you dropped the food on is. Whether you eat it or not after that is up to you, but if the people that walk on that floor are also walking around New York City, for example, we wouldn't recommend it. We want to empower you with as much health information as possible.

We will actually have a fecal transplant recipient in the studio with us so you can hear firsthand from someone whose life was completely changed by this new procedure.  Gut health – what we know about the microbiome Gut/brain connection Infections of the gut DOC SHOC Do you breast feed or formula feed?  The argument over which is best has been going on for years.  Obviously, if a mother is able and willing, breastfeeding is the best option. However, in some cases, formula is needed.  Soy based formulas are used to help sooth colicky babies.  However. scientists at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) found that soy formula use was linked to severe menstrual pain in early adulthood.  Women who drank soy-based formulas as an infant were 50% more likely to have severe menstrual pain than those who didn't.  It has also been linked to a higher risk of developing endometriosis.  Because of this, scientists are cautioning parents to only use soy formula if necessary.   Learn More!

Today's tip is all about learning to listen to your body. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. We tend to get so busy these days that we forget to slow down and hear what our body is saying. Did you know that most people tend to eat when they're really just thirsty. This causes a flood of unnecessary calories. Another common thing people ignore is when the body tells you it's tired. That's not the time to get on social media or glue yourself to the tube. Nope – this is when you sleep. Ignoring your body and the things it's trying to tell you will only lead to bigger issues later on. If you're too busy to listen to your body, I guess you have time for a major illness, because ignoring symptoms never pays off. Listen to your body and improve your chances for a longer and healthier life.

Some workouts have multiple benefits. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Today's tip is all about getting your workout in while you improve your living condition. That's right – I'm taking about cleaning your house. Need to work out those arms, fold the clothes and beat out that rug. If legs are your problem areas, practice your squats while you clean the windows. And cleaning floors are a great way to give your abs a killer workout. Grab that vacuum or mop and get busy. If you live in a two story house, you have a built in stair stepper. Make multiple trips up and down and see your derriere shrink before your eyes. Not only will household chores keep you fit, a clean house is great for mental health too. And, cleaning can be a great family affair - so enlist the spouse and kids and work out together. When it's all done you can reward yourself by going to the movie and relaxing. You can find more Stay Young Medical Minutes at StayYoungAmerica.com that's StayYoungAmerica.com Follow Us on Facebook!

Are you in the mood for exercise? Maybe it depends on what type of exercise. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Tailoring your workout to your mood or you mental needs may be the trick to sticking with it. If you're feeling angry or have pent up frustration, sign up for a kickboxing class and kick your way to a happier you. If you've been feeling lonely, join the Zumba party and start dancing and making friends – the best part about this dance party is everyone is sober! Now, if your job stress is getting to you, take time to refocus by going to yoga class. And if you're like me, your moods change so don't be afraid to mix up your exercise routine.

When's the last time you had a date. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Today's tip is all about the incredible benefits of dates. I'm not talking about the Friday night kind of date. No – let's talk about that small, sweet fruit that often gets overlooked. Packed with nutrients, dates contain oil, calcium, sulfur, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper and magnesium. Some experts say that a date at breakfast will keep constipation at bay and help prevent colon cancer. Because they're naturally sweet, dates are a great pick-me-up in the afternoon, giving you a much needed energy boost for the end of the work day. And if you suffer from seasonal allergies, the trace minerals in Dates may give you some relief. Want a little pecan pie? Stuff a date with a pecan for a tasty treat.

Minty breath is more than just sexy, it's healthy. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Did you know there is nutritional value in mint? Mint comes in over 30 different varieties and 70% of the world's peppermint and spearmint is grown right here in the United States. It's often found in gum and mints because it aids in digestion. Mint leaves contain very important antioxidants, trace iron, and some fiber. It's a great way to dress up a salad and add a little zing. Mint has long been appreciated as an herb, as a matter of fact mint has been found in tombs that date back to 1000BC. If you chop up mint leaves real fine, you can even add them to your favorite drink. So start your own mint garden either in the yard or in your kitchen window and start seeing the benefits as you make mint a part of your daily diet.

What are somethings, health wise, that can affect our happiness?             -Hormones             -Serotonin Levels             -Etc. Difference between joy, happiness, passion Happiness killers (non-medical) THAT MUSIC MEANS IT'S TIME FOR DOC SHOC. A TIME WHEN WE FIND SOMETHING SHOCKING IN THE NEWS OR WE'RE SHOCKED IT MADE THE NEWS. I've said it time and time again: sleep is important!  A new study out of Pennsylvania State University found a link between sleep deprivation and dehydration.  That's right, not sleeping enough can make you dehydrated.  The researchers found that people who slept less than 6 hours a night were 16-59% more likely to be dehydrated than those that slept a full 8 hours.  Why, you ask?  Vasopressin.  Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone that controls water balance throughout the body.  Scientists believe that lack of sleep leads to a malfunction of the release of this hormone.  So, rest up!  Your body depends on it!  Remember to sleep at least 7.5-9 hours a night.  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323595.php Stay Young America.com Facebook (Stay Young Media Group), website (Stayyoungamerica.com, and iTunes, call us 844-well 100 Follow us on Twitter @StayYoungMedia.

Did you know that being married has health benefits? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Are you married? If no, maybe you should be. Turns out people who are happily married tend to live longer and healthier lives. The key here is "happily married" so try your best to be a good spouse – your health depends on it. Researchers found that happily married people have less stress, meaning less inflammation in the body and less disease. These people tend to also sleep more regular hours and eat home cook meals more often. So if you've been living it up as a bachelor – its time to settle down. Not only will you live longer and healthier, some studies suggest that you will also be less prone to depression and anxiety. So stop wasting time and go find your soul mate – your life depends on it.  Follow Us on Facebook! Tweet us on Twitter! Download the show on iTunes! Visit our website!

When you were a kid, did you jump rope? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. That age old childhood game is great exercise for both kids and adults. Besides, no other exercise prop is as easy to carry with you on trips and to the office. Not only is jumping rope a great cardiac workout, it also strengthens muscles in the arms, legs, and core, giving you a whole body work out in a short time. 8-10 minutes of jumping rope can erase the sins of a regular size candy bar – so go ahead and cheat on your diet, as long as you're prepared to jump it off. Don't forget, jumping rope is also good for coordination and brain health because you have to concentrate on jumping at just the right time. If you think you're out of practice – well that's ok. Jumping rope is like riding a bike, once you learn it, you never really forget it.  Follow Us on Facebook! Tweet us on Twitter! Download the show on iTunes! Visit our website!

What if a simple seed could hold the fountain of youth? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Today's tip is all about an ancient seed that can hold promise in preventing heart disease, cancer, and even diabetes. I'm talking about Flax Seed. Believe it or not, in 600 BC a king once ordered all his subjects to consume flax seed every day in order to stay healthy. I wonder what that king would say now if he could see all the new foods that have been fortified with flax seed. Have you seen the eggs that say fortified with Omega 3? The farmers have actually fed the chickens a diet rich in flax seed. The best thing about adding flax seed to your diet is that it's easy to do, just sprinkle it over your yogurt or in your cereal each morning and start your day off right.  Follow Us on Facebook!

Have you ever had a facial? If not, perhaps it's time to treat yourself to one. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Nothing feels better than a professional facial. Not only does it leave you with a clean glow about you, the health benefits of a facial go beyond just the pretty face. During a professional facial the face is massaged allowing the body to flush out stagnant toxins, reducing the redness and puffiness that shows on a tired face. The power of touch can do magnificent things for the mind, body, and spirit. Spending time in the facial chair and being pampered can help your body release "feel good" hormones that will boost your mood and improve relationships. Also, a facial improves circulation allowing important nutrients to reach the skin. So ladies, next time you're man says your grumpy – tell him you know just the cure.  Follow Us on Facebook!

How long do you go between meals? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Many people eat a late dinner and are then up early for breakfast, giving their digestive system little to no down time. For thousands of years people have fasted, often for religious reasons, but the health benefits are undeniable. The body was made to fast, that is why it's natural to go 8-10 hours a night without eating. This allows the body to burn through the carbohydrates and start to burn fat. Fat is where the toxins are stored. The body needs to enter a stage known as ketosis in order to "clean house" so to speak. If you're looking to feel better and drop some pounds, set your eating hours between 10am and 6pm. This gives the body lots of great time to reset.  Follow Us on Facebook! Tweet us on Twitter!

The holidays are just around the corner. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Are you prepared for this holiday season? I am not talking about presents, parties, and wrapping. I am talking about setting your goals and establishing limits. Start now and define exactly what your holidays are going to look like. For example, don't over schedule, set a limit of perhaps 5 parties over the course of two months. Also, give yourself a cheat day when it comes to food. If you are only eating sweets once a week instead of once a day, you can prevent the addition of those holiday pounds. Lastly, be sure to set limits on your day, both work and night life. You need to be sure you are getting enough sleep so that you can function during this busy time and not get burned out. A little prep can make your holidays healthier and more enjoyable.

How often are you looking at your skin? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. You should do a thorough skin evaluation on yourself at least once a year. Make sure someone else is also checking those hard to see places, like your back. Believe it or not, 70,000 people are diagnosed with melanoma each year right here in the United States. When looking at moles, notice any changes, irregular borders, the color of the mole, and the size. Talk to your doctor about the moles you have and don't assume they are nothing to worry about. If caught early, skin cancers can be removed and the cancer can be stopped. Also, be sure to use SPF 30 when out in the sun and use it year round, not just in the summer months.
