Health Alert: Addressing Inflammation May Be Key to Reducing Cancer Treatment-Related Fatigue.
Researchers from University of California, Los Angeles monitored nearly 200 early-stage breast cancer patients
throughout treatment and identified an association between higher blood levels of inflammatory proteins and
both general and physical fatigue. The finding may help to explain why interventions such as exercise, cognitive
behavioral therapy, and mindfulness—all of which help reduce inflammation—lessen fatigue in patients
undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Cancer, October 2025
Diet: Mediterranean Diet Benefits Moderate Psoriasis Patients.
In a recent study, researchers observed that
psoriasis patients who switched to the Mediterranean diet—an eating pattern focused on fruit, vegetables, nuts,
fish, olive oil, and whole grains while avoiding red and processed meats, dairy, saturated fats, and refined
sugars—experienced a 75% or greater reduction in symptoms within 16 weeks. The research team suspects the
benefits may be attributed to the diet’s ability to reduce oxidative stress and calm immune-related inflammation.

Exercise: Aquarobics an Option for Seniors with Chronic Low Back Pain.
Patients under treatment for
chronic low back pain are often advised to engage in physical activity both to help manage their present
condition and to reduce the risk of recurrence. A study that included 80 older women with chronic low back
pain found that engaging in water-based aerobics twice a week for twelve weeks not only benefits functional
mobility but also sleep and cognitive health. Medicine (Baltimore), September 2025
Chiropractic: Treatment for Orofacial Pain.
For patients with orofacial pain, a systematic review that
included 37 studies found that manual therapies—such as those provided by chiropractors—applied to the neck
or jaw are effective for reducing pain and tenderness in the jaw, face, head, and neck.

Mental Attitude: Mom’s Mental Health Directly Affects Kids’ Mental Health.
University of Manchester researchers report they have observed a direct association between a mother’s feelings of stress and unhappiness
and symptoms of anxiety, worry, and emotional distress in her children, while no such direct link was seen with
fathers. The research team posits that efforts to better support maternal mental health could be key to improving
emotional outcomes among children. BMJ Open, October 2025
Wellness/Prevention: Better Hydration May Lead to Improved Sleep.
A recent study found that slightly
dehydrated young adults took longer to fall asleep and felt less refreshed in the morning than on nights when
they went to bed hydrated and slept an hour less. SN Comprehensive Clinical Medicine, October 2025
