Early Life Farm Exposure May Reduce Allergy Risk.

A study of infants from Old Order Mennonite farming families found that children raised in agricultural environments had higher levels of IgG and IgA antibodies, more advanced B-cell development, and a lower risk of food allergies than peers raised in urban settings. The findings suggest that greater microbial exposure early in life may positively influence immune development and reduce allergy risk.

Heel pain? Elbow pain? Stubborn tendon issues?

For the past year, we’ve been using Shockwave Therapy in the office with great results—especially for conditions like plantar fasciitis and elbow tendonitis.

Plantar fasciitis often shows up as sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning. Elbow tendonitis can cause aching or sharp pain with gripping or lifting. Shockwave therapy helps by increasing blood flow and stimulating healing in tissue that’s slow to recover on its own.

To let patients experience this therapy firsthand, we’re offering a no-cost trial shockwave treatment for existing patients.

Alcohol Linked to Increased Cancer Risk.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 62 studies found that alcohol consumption can damage DNA, disrupt hormonal balance, increase oxidative stress, and suppress immune function over time—mechanisms that elevate the risk of breast, colorectal, liver, oral, esophageal, and gastric cancers. While higher drinking frequency and quantity are linked to greater risk, the researchers also note that even moderate alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Smartphone Addiction Linked to Chronic Spinal Pain in Young Adults.

Smartphone addiction is a behavioral dependence characterized by excessive, compulsive smartphone use that interferes with daily functioning, relationships, sleep, and mental well-being despite negative consequences. Questionnaires completed by 465 university students revealed that 31% met the criteria for smartphone addiction, which is associated with a two-fold elevated risk of chronic neck, mid-back, or low back pain.

Learning Music Boosts Brain Function in Seniors.

Researchers from University of Sheffield and Western Sydney University report that older adults who learned to play music using either a physical instrument or digital app experienced gains in cognitive and motor function, even if they had no prior musical training. Further, those who used their newly gained skills during improvisation sessions demonstrated even greater improvements in learning, memory, and executive function.

Dark Chocolate Compound Linked to Slower Biological Aging?

Researchers from King’s College London report that higher blood levels of theobromine—a natural compound found in cocoa—were associated with a younger biological age relative to chronological age. These findings suggest that regular consumption of theobromine-rich dark chocolate may be linked to lower oxidative stress and inflammation, improved mitochondrial and vascular function, and other cellular processes that help maintain more accurate cell division as aging progresses.

1 in 8 Teens Show Signs of Hearing Loss.

Examinations of more than 3,300 Dutch teenagers revealed 13% exhibited signs of noise-related hearing damage, with roughly 6% experiencing permanent hearing loss by age 18. The research team attributes these issues to frequent exposure to loud recreational noise—from earbuds, concerts, and fireworks—as a key risk, emphasizing the need for early screening, prevention, and safer listening habits during adolescence.

Just 20 Minutes of Exercise Twice a Week May Prevent Dementia.

Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, researchers found that older adults with mild-cognitive impairment were less likely to progress to dementia over an eight-year time period if they exercised at moderate-intensity—like brisk walking, for example—for at least 20 minutes twice a week. The findings demonstrate the ability of regular physical activity to delay or possibly prevent dementia.
