Heartburn : A Surprising Culprit
Otherwise called pyrosis or corrosive acid reflux is a smoldering sensation in the chest, just behind the breastbone or in the epigastrium. The torment frequently ascends in the mid-section and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw.
People who suffer from acid reflux - when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus — learn which foods tend to upset their stomach. But there’s one trigger they might not think of and that even researchers hadn’t realized was so potent: salt. According to a survey of some 47,000 people, those who regularly reach for the shaker are 70% more likely to suffer from acid reflux. But the study revealed some good news too: Alcohol and tea — both thought to contribute to the condition
— turned out to not increase risk for those surveyed.
Cheers for Beer!
You’ve probably heard that red wine is high in antioxidants, compounds that may help protect against heart disease and cancer. But if you like beer better, here’s good news. The brew offers about the same benefits as wine, according to new research. Just don’t go overboard
— you get optimal antioxidant payoff from one serving a day. For beer, that’s 12 ounces; a serving of wine is five ounces. Having three or more drinks daily actually increases the risk of serious disease.
Yo-yo dieting may make you SICK
FAD DIETS ARE NOT ONLY INEFFECTIVE, they also may be bad for your immune system. A recent study found that the more times a woman had lost weight over a 20-years period, the lower her disease fighting cell activity was. (Presumably. the women were regaining pounds in between.) Those who’d maintained a stable weight had the healthiest immune cell function. The key
— as if you didn’t know! — is SENSIBLE FOOD CHOICES that you can stick to long term, plus regular exercise (which also boost the immune system), says senior study author Cornelia Ulrich, Ph.D., of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
