Mental Attitude: Delaying Umbilical Cord Clamping Could Improve a Child's Development. Experts suggest that simply
waiting just a few minutes before severing the umbilical cord can increase a baby's blood volume up to 33%. Dr. Heike Rabe, a
neonatologist at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School in the United Kingdom adds, "The extra blood at birth helps the baby to
cope better with the transition from life in the womb, where everything is provided for them by the placenta and the mother, to the
outside world. Their lungs get more blood so that the exchange of oxygen into the blood can take place smoothly."

Health Alert: Moderate Drinking May Result in Heart Damage in Elderly. Older men who drink at least two alcoholic beverages
daily may be damaging their cardiovascular system. Investigators analyzed data concerning 4,466 older men and women and found an
association between alcohol consumption and the enlarging of the left ventricle of the heart, a condition linked to an increased risk for
heart attack and stroke. While left ventricular hypertrophy was observed in both men and women, it was most prominent among men
who consumed more than 14 drinks per week. The researchers write, "In summary, we found that increasing alcohol intake among the
elderly is associated with mild alterations in cardiac structure and function. In women, moderate alcohol consumption was associated
with modest reduction in systolic function, potentially contributing to a higher risk of alcoholic cardiomyopathy [diseases of the heart
muscle], for any given level of alcohol intake." American Heart Association, May 2015
Diet: Fish Oil Consumption Could Mean Better Brain Function in Older Adults. Research involving 40 mentally healthy older
adults who possessed a gene placing them at risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease found that consuming higher amounts of omegs-3
fatty acids helped participants perform better on mental tasks that assessed mental flexibility. Study author Dr. Aron Barbey writes,
"Our findings add to the evidence that optimal nutrition helps preserve cognitive function, slow the progression of aging, and reduce
the incidence of debilitating diseases in healthy aging populations." Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, May 2015
Exercise: Fitness Improves Survival Odds for Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant. For lymphoma and
leukemia patients considering an allogeneic stem cell transplant, engaging in regular exercise may improve their odds for a successful
recovery. A study including 103 patients found that those who participated in an exercise intervention before, during, and after
treatment were more than twice as likely to survive the two years following their allogeneic stem cell transplant than those who did
not exercise. International Journal of Cancer, June 2015
Chiropractic: Pregnant Nurse Helped By Chiropractic. A 30-year-old nurse-midwife sought help from a doctor of chiropractic for
hip pain and right-sided sciatica during the third trimester of her pregnancy. After receiving six weeks of chiropractic treatment, her
symptoms resolved and she successfully gave birth without further issues. This case provides support for the role of chiropractic in the
treatment of pregnant women. Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health - Chiropractic, April 2015
Wellness/Prevention: Smoking Legislation Prevents Hospital Admissions Among Children. Experts claim that smoke-free
legislation in the United Kingdom has resulted in over 11,000 fewer pediatric hospital admissions per year for respiratory infections.
Dr. Carlos Jimenez-Ruiz, the chair of the European Respiratory Society's Tobacco Control Committee adds, "We know that more than
600,000 non-smokers die from exposure to passive smoke each year. The findings of this new study add more weight to the argument
that smoke-free legislation is a valuable tool in reducing the health harms of smoking, particularly in children. We must use this
evidence to increase awareness and knowledge among policymakers of the harm caused by tobacco and the value of legislation
designed to reduce this harm." European Respiratory Journal, May 2015
