Movement Is Medicine

Walking more and at a quicker pace may reduce the risk of cardiac events, according to new research. Researchers studied 36,000 people with hypertension and found that beginning at 2,300 steps a day, each additional 1,000 steps was associated with a 17% reduced risk of major heart and blood vessel problems. There was also a 9% lower risk of heart attack, a 22% lower risk of heart failures and a 24% reduced risk of stroke. Also, walking briskly (about 100 steps per minute) was linked to a 30% drop in serious cardiovascular events. If you've been sedentary, ease into it and work up to your goal number of steps and pace.

Sugar May Accelerate Aging

Cutting added sugar out of your diet may slow down the aging process. Researchers studied 342 middle-aged women and discovered the cells, tissues and overall systems of those who ate a diet low in added sugar were biologically younger than their actual age. They also found that for each additional gram of added sugar women consumed each day, they were about 7 days older in their biological age. It may not sound like much, but it's the cumulative impact that accelerates aging. This result was regardless of how healthy the rest of their diet was. "Added" sugars are the problem, not the ones found naturally in fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy.

Activity May Slow Parkinson's

Keeping active may help slow the brain changes associated with Parkinson's disease, according to new research. Patients with early Parkinson's who stayed active by walking, doing household chores and being involved in recreational activities had slower brain changes in the parts of the brain tied to mood, memory and attention. These changes were measured with MRI scans. Researchers say this only proves an association, not a cause-and-effect link. However, regular physical activity could be an accessible, low-cost way to support brain health in Parkinson's patients and possibly slow the progression of the disease.

Health Benefits Of Avocados

Avocados contain heart-healthy fats and are rich in fiber. One of these good fats is oleic acid, which has been linked to reducing inflammation and lowering bad cholesterol. They are packed with antioxidants, which fight free-radicals and help protect against heart disease and other chronic conditions. They also contain vitamins C, E and K and some B vitamins. One-half an avocado supplies 15% of RDA of folate, 10% of potassium and 5% of magnesium. A 30-year study showed that participants who ate at least 2 servings of avocado a week had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to people who rarely ate them.

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs)

Avoiding UPFs may help you lose weight quicker. In a recent study of 55 adults, participants took turns eating either a diet of minimally processed foods (MPFs) or a diet of UPFs. Think homemade roasted chicken and vegetables versus frozen chicken nuggets and french fries. The diets were nutritionally similar. Meals were delivered, and they were told to eat as much or as little as they wanted. MPFs require more chewing and are usually less calorie-dense. The slower eating rate can lead to quicker satiety and overall lower calorie intake. Participants lost twice as much weight and body fat on the MPF diet compared to the UPF one.

Mindfulness May Reduce Anxiety

New research suggests that practicing mindfulness may help treat anxiety and may have results in symptom relief similar to medications, with fewer side effects. This study involved 276 adults who had either agoraphobia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder. The participants were separated into two groups. One group took a medication for anxiety, and the other group practiced mindfulness meditation. After 2 months, the 2 groups had similar reductions in symptoms with the medication group having slightly better results. However, 79% of the medication group had at least one side effect, such as sleep problems, nausea, headache or fatigue.
