#1190: MM- Trans Fats and Dementia
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.

#1189: MM- Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D?
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.

#1188: MM- Eating Before or After a Workout
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.

#1187: MM- Adult Learning Differences
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.

#1186: MM- Avoiding Eye Strain
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.

#1185: MM- All About Vitamin A
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.

#1184: MM- The Keto Diet and Psoriasis
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.

#1177: MM- Increasing Afternoon Energy
Do you ever have an afternoon crash? If so you’re not alone. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. It’s common for people to feel a lack of energy in the afternoon, something we often describe as a crash or “hitting the wall” so to speak. There’s a simple formula that can help keep you energized. First start with a healthy lunch. Eating high fat, sugary, or high carb lunches can lead to extreme fatigue within an hour or two. About 1:00 get up and go for a brisk walk. This will get the blood flowing and wake the brain back up. At 3pm have a light snack, like almonds or raw veggies. And perhaps the best advice I can give you is to get up and take screen breaks to prevent eye strain.

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

#1172: MM- Health Benefits of Aloe Vera
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.

#1171: MM- Increasing Longevity Through Daily Activity
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.

#1170: MM- City Life and Aging
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. For noise pollution, good windows and thick drapes can help reduce sounds and light that may keep you awake. For your skin, serums that are high in vitamin C will help fight free radicals and reduce the effects of pollution.

#1169: MM- Heart Attack Risk Under 40
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.

#1166: MM- The Dangers of Vaping
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.

#1165: MM- Diet, Stroke, and Heart Disease Risk
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.

#1164: The Importance of Being Active
Are you getting your exercise in? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. In today’s world, most jobs are sedentary, meaning more people spend time sitting than moving. Well, Norwegian University of Science and Technology studied the health impacts of a sedentary lifestyle. In the past, there had been numerous studies that linked inactivity to increased mortality. However, this study was different. Researchers wanted to know what happens when physical activity and behavior changes over time. In other words, what happens someone who was once active stops. They found that being inactive for 20 years can make someone twice as likely to die, especially of cardiovascular disease, earlier than someone who is active. So, what are you waiting for?
