THE LATEST NEWS IN FIVE CATEGORIES: NUTRITION, HEALTH, EXERCISE, NATURE, AND MIND/BODY/SPIRIT
Can memories be passed to the next generation? There's an ingredient in personal care products that is potentially lowering your testosterone, find out which it is. Which group of people should not be overdoing it when they exercise? This and more, in the inaugural Five for Friday.
Nutrition
Here's why you should stop eating processed and manufactured foods: they often contain far too much salt. "Estimated 1.65 million global cardiovascular deaths each year linked to high sodium consumption." http://goo.gl/wvkatq
Health
This study shows that testosterone in males and females can be reduced by phthalates, a compound found in many personal care products. Worse, phthalates are not required to be clearly marked, or marked at all. Look for, and avoid products with the following ingredients: Vinyl, DEHP, BzBP, DBP, DEP, DMP, phthalates. The best way to avoid them is to purchase personal care products that are as close to nature as you can get them, containing only simple, recognizable ingredients. "Reduced testosterone tied to endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure." http://goo.gl/wKWJLU
Exercise
Exercise is beneficial for patients with heart disease, dramatically reducing deaths - up to a 65% drop in those who run regularly! But once patients exceed 30 miles of running per week, the benefits disappear, and over-doing it may even be dangerous for this population. It appears that moderation is once again validated by science. Contrary to popular belief, more exercise is not always better. http://goo.gl/97T1cQ
Nature
Mountain Lions are surviving here in Los Angeles, but they're penned in by freeways, and it's reducing their genetic diversity. Freeways as fences, trapping the mountain lions of Los Angeles. http://goo.gl/3tohxw
Mind/Body/Spirit
If memories truly do get passed to future generations, then we should be thinking twice about the kind of memories we create. Scientists Have Found That Memories Can Be Passed Down Through Generations In Our Genes. http://goo.gl/YAl9mM
