Sleeping Seven or Eight Hours Per Night is Best for Health
A study published in the latest issue of the journal SLEEP has found that either a decrease or an increase in sleep duration is associated with an elevated risk of mortality. The study conducted by the University College London Medical School followed over 10,000 participants between 35 and 55 years of age. The individual screenings were conducted between 1985 and 1988 and involved a clinical examination and self-administered questionnaire. The results found that a decrease in sleep duration among participants sleeping six, seven, or eight hours at baseline was associated with a 10 percent risk of cardiovascular mortality. However, an increase in sleep duration among those who were already sleeping seven or eight hours was associated with a 10 percent excess risk of non-cardiovascular mortality.

1. Heel pain is caused by tissue inflammation but can also be the result of a broken bone, a tight Achilles tendon, a pinched nerve, or other problem.
2. Ankle sprains require prompt medical attention. Choosing to skip medical care increases the liklehood of repeated ankle sprains and the development of chronic ankle instability. (Read more about 5 Foot Problems That Shouldn't Be Ignored)

In America, it is estimated that 45 percent of women and 30 percent of men diet to lose weight. A recent study, published in the scientific journal Hypertension and led by David Gutterman has found low-carbohydrate diets to be significantly higher in total grams of fat, protein, dietary cholesterol and saturated fats than low-fat diets. Dr. Gutterman states, "While a low-carb diet may result in weight loss and an improvement in blood pressure, the higher fat content is ultimately more detrimental to heart health than the low-fat diet suggested by the American Heart Association."

Anti-Depressants Not Much Better Than Placebo
The current generation of anti-depressant drugs have little benefit for most patients, according to new research from the University of Hull. The researchers accept that many people do feel the effects of the drugs, but they argue that it could be a placebo effect. People feel better only because they are taking medication they feel will help them. Researchers focused on drugs which work by increasing levels of the mood controlling chemical serotonin in the brain. These included Prozac, Seroxat, along with a similar drug called Efexor - all common prescriptions. (Read more about Anti-Depressants Not Much Better Than Placebo)

The Dangers of Fluoride
Currently, 66% of United States residents who rely on public water supplies are exposed to the most consumed drug in the nation - fluoride. The belief behind the widespread practice of adding fluoride to water supplies is reduction of tooth decay at low cost. However, some recent studies suggest that over-consumption of fluoride can raise the risk of disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain, and the thyroid glands, according to Scientific American editors. Fluoride is toxic in large concentrations and there is no universally accepted optimal level for daily intake of fluoride - leaving some scientists to doubt if the 1 mg/L added to drinking water is safe.

DNA Testing and Fear of Genetic Discrimination
The number of Americans taking of precautionary DNA testing is on the decline, and the reason appears to be fear of genetic discrimination from health insurers and employers. Some health experts are now calling for new legislation to help protect US citizens from being discriminated against, should their DNA reveal health risks. A bill, known as the Genetic Information and Nondiscrimination Act, was passed by the House of Representatives last year, but has yet to reach Senate. The bill would prohibit insurers from denying benefits or raising premiums as a result of genetic information, and would prohibit employers from collecting or making use of genetic information for hiring, firing or compensation decisions.

The Concept of Herd Immunization
Dr. John Cahill explains that though Infectious Disease specialists would like to vaccinate everyone, getting a large amount of people vaccinated can provide a barrier for most of the group. If enough of a population gets vaccinated then the potential for disease to travel across the globe, or even within U.S., is greatly diminished. In the event of a serious outbreak, we would start by vaccinating the health care providers. We would then vaccinate people serving sectors valuable to society infrastructure like police officers and firemen. (Read more about The Concept of Herd Immunization)
