You sleep good, you feel better. That's a given. But, wondered doctors at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, do people who eat differently sleep differently, and if so, wouldn't it be cool if you could change your sleep pattern by changing your diet?
Research found that short sleepers ate the most calories, followed by normal sleepers. Very short sleepers were next, then long sleepers, with the fewest calories ingested. The normal sleepers ? seven to eight hours a night ? ate the most varied types of food and greatest range of vitamins and minerals.
Very short sleepers drank less water and ate fewer red and orange foods and carbs. Short sleepers got less vitamin C and ate fewer nuts, meat and shellfish but more leafy greens. Those who took long snoozes took in less theobromine (chocolate and tea), fewer eggs, fatty meats and carbs but drank more alcohol.
The doctors still don't know if they can make a dent in weight, diabetes or heart disease by waking us up to all this. Stay tuned.
Next time you spot a fast- food billboard looming ahead, avert your eyes. UCLA researchers have found that the higher the percentage of outdoor ads for fast food in an area, the higher the odds of obesity in those areas. Does it mean that marketing works or is it something about the area? Researchers are plowing ahead to find out.
Those people who say they don't eat meat because they object on ethical grounds, well, they get a big bonus on their largesse: Their hearts aren't only in the right place, animal-wise, but cardiology-wise, too. A new study out of the University of Oxford that tracked the dietary habits and health outcomes of 45,000 participants over 11 years showed that vegetarians are a third less likely to need hospital treatment for heart disease ? the kind that kills you and the kind that doesn't. The study also showed that nonmeat-eaters have significantly lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Yup, all those fruits and vegetables count for something.
It is only fair to report that the vegetarians also won on other scores. They weighed less. And they had lower body mass indexes. And fewer cases of diabetes. And, get this, when researchers adjusted to hold steady for body weight, the risk reduction for diabetes and heart disease still went down by 28 percent.
It's easy to see where the couch potato is going wrong. But the guy with flat abs, biker's calves and a heart rate of 12, well, it's not so easy to spot medical issues for him. So doctors are asking athletic patients if they have undue joint pain, frequent colds and infections, fatigue, excess weight and appetite loss, sleep issues, even depression. They're worried about the dangers of overtraining. Serious cases can have bone loss, tissue damage or anxiety.
Is this you? See a doctor, get more nutrients, skip a day of workout now and again. Many who've suffered say that cross training works wonders.
