Diet: Too High / Too Low Blood Sugar Is Bad for the Heart. The results of a twenty-year study involving
nearly 10,000 Chinese adults suggest that having a resting blood glucose reading that is either too high (≥126
mg/dl) or too low (<60 mg/dl) is associated with double the risk for cardiovascular disease-related mortality. Chronic Diseases & Translational Medicine, June 2019 Exercise: Exercise During Pregnancy Can Boost Baby’s Health. Children born to women who engaged in aerobic exercise during pregnancy appear to have better motor skills at one month of age than kids whose mothers did not exercise during their pregnancy. The researchers speculate that exercise may aid fetal brain development by boosting the flow of blood and oxygen to the womb. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, August 2019 Chiropractic: Back Pain Linked to Pelvic, Hip, and Knee Dysfunction… Examinations of forty young adults, half of whom had low back pain, revealed that those with back pain were more likely to exhibit increased pelvic tilt, knocked knees, and reduced hip extension. Though the study was unable to determine the nature of the relationship between low back pain and such alterations, these findings highlight the importance of examining the whole patient and not just focusing on the area of chief complaint; otherwise, treatment may not yield a satisfactory outcome for the patient. Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, August 2019 Wellness/Prevention: Keep Your Teen Driver Safe. Safe Kids Worldwide reports that six teens are killed in motor vehicle accidents every day in the United States. To help prevent these accidents, the organization encourages parents of new drivers to do the following: be a good role model when driving; always use a seatbelt; set clear expectations about your family's driving rules; define zero-tolerance rules for speeding, alcohol, and texting; limit the number of passengers allowed in the car with your teen; make sure your teen gets enough practice in a variety of road conditions.

Mental Attitude: Genetics Mostly to Blame for Autism. The results of a new study involving over two
million people from five countries suggest that autism spectrum disorder is 80% contingent on inherited genes.
Dr. Andrew Adesman, director of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Cohen Children’s Medical Center
in New Hyde Park, New York notes, “Although families are often most concerned about environmental risk
factors for autism, the reality is that genetic factors play a much larger role overall… [However,] this does not
mean that we can completely ignore the environmental risk factors and their interaction with the genetic risk
factors.” JAMA Psychiatry, July 2019
Health Alert: Smokers Have Higher Risk for Metabolic Syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by
a cluster of conditions—increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and
abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels—that elevates a person’s risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. A
review of data from the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that smokers
have an elevated risk for metabolic syndrome, and the risk is even greater among smokers who also drink
alcohol, even at moderate levels. Substance Use & Misuse, August 2019

Mental Attitude: Parents Who Belittle Their Kids May Be Raising Bullies. Interviews with more than 1,400
teens revealed that those subjected to derisive parenting were more likely to develop dysregulated anger, which
is often a sign of difficulty controlling emotions and puts teenagers at a higher risk for both bullying and for
becoming bully victims. Study senior author Dr. Daniel Dickson writes, “Implications from our study are farreaching: Practitioners and parents should be informed of the potential long-term costs of sometimes seemingly
harmless parenting behaviors such as belittlement and sarcasm… Parents must be reminded of their influence
on adolescents’ emotions and should take steps to ensure that adolescents do not feel ridiculed at home.”

Mental Attitude: Kids with ADHD May Be Less Prepared for School. Children with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have less developed social, emotional, and language skills than their
peers without ADHD. The findings suggest that identifying and helping preschoolers with ADHD symptoms
could possibly reduce their struggles in elementary school. Pediatrics, July 2019
Health Alert: Deadly Cancers Often Get the Least Research Funding. According to a new study, research is
poorly funded for several common and/or deadly cancers, such as endometrial, liver and bile duct, cervical,
ovarian, pancreatic, and lung cancer. Study author Dr. Suneel Kamath notes, “The goal of this study is not to
divert funds away from cancers that are well-supported, but rather expand funding for other cancers that aren’t
getting enough support currently… These are all deadly and life-altering diseases that deserve our attention and
support.” Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, July 2019
Diet: Early Dinner? In a recent pilot study involving eleven adults, researchers observed that when participants
ate their dinner earlier in the afternoon and did not eat again until the next morning, their bodies were better
able to burn fat for energy and they had lower levels of the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite. which
may help people eat less.” Obesity, July 2019
Exercise: Non-Exercisers at Greater Risk of Fatty Liver Disease. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD) occurs when fat builds up in the liver from causes other than excessive alcohol consumption. An
analysis of data from the 16,000-participant HUNT3 study found that the 20% of adults with the lowest physical
fitness levels were 17-18 times more likely to have NAFLD than the most active 40% of participants.

Health Alert: Where Body Fat Collects Hints at Future Heart Troubles. An analysis of data concerning
nearly 162,000 postmenopausal women found that women whose body fat collects in their mid-section have
nearly twice the risk for heart disease or stroke as women whose body fat is mostly stored in their legs. Study
author Dr. Qibin Qi writes, “Our findings suggest that postmenopausal women, despite having normal weight,
could have a varying risk of cardiovascular disease because of different fat distributions around either their
middle or their legs.” European Heart Journal, July 2019

Exercise: Exercise Reduces Pain in Diabetics. In this study, type 2 diabetics with limb pain experienced
improvements in both the number of painful body sites and pain intensity after participating in a twelve-week
exercise program. The findings are important as diabetics are nearly 25% more likely to report limb pain than
non-diabetics. Diabetic Research and Clinical Practice, July 2019
Chiropractic: Manual Therapy May Be Best Choice for Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most
common causes of foot and heel pain. In a recent study involving 63 plantar fasciitis patients, researchers
observed that participants treated with the combination of custom foot orthotics and manual therapy
experienced greater improvements in pain and function than the patients who only received one of the treatment
options. Doctors of chiropractic are known to use both approaches when treating patients with plantar fasciitis.

Mental Attitude: Alcoholism Harms Even Those Who Don’t Have Drinking Problems. Researchers
gathered data from two nationwide surveys in the United States that included nearly 9,000 adults and found that
21% of women and 23% of men were harmed by someone else’s drinking in the past year. These harms include
threats, harassment, damaged property, vandalism, physical aggregation, money problems, relationship issues,
and driving issues. Study author Dr. Katherine Karriker-Jaffe warns, “Heavy drinkers should be aware of how
they might be impacting the lives of people around them.” Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, July 2019
Health Alert: Stay in School! An analysis of data gathered between 1971 and 2012 concerning more than
75,000 people found that failure to complete high school is associated with an increased risk for heart disease.
Study author Dr. Rita Hamad adds, “Overall, people with more education may have reduced heart disease
because they have higher incomes, allowing them to afford better food and healthcare… Or, it may be that they
have more resources and therefore less stress, which has been previously linked with heart disease.”

Diet: Diet Tied to Frailty in Older Adults. Frailty is a condition characterized by weakness, slowness,
physical inactivity, self-reported exhaustion, and unintentional weight loss. In a recent study involving 2,154
seniors, researchers found that those with a poor-quality diet were over 40% more likely to be considered as
frail four years later than older adults with healthier diets. Journal of the American Geriatric Society, July 2019
Exercise: How Does Exercise Improve Motor Skills? Exercise is well-known to improve motor skills, and
now researchers believe they know how. In the study, investigators compared the brains of mice that ran on a
treadmill for an hour a day for three weeks and mice that did not exercise. Investigators observed that the mice
in the treadmill group exhibited significantly more evidence of spinogenesis (development of dendritic spines in
neurons) and stronger neural connections in the motor cortex (area of brain that generate neural impulses that
control the execution of movement). Science Advances, July 2019
Chiropractic: Heart Rate Variability and Neck Pain. Heart rate variability is the measure of specific changes
in time between successive heart beats. Current research suggests that low heart rate variability is associated
with aging, decline, illness, and mortality. In a study involving 15 chronic neck pain patients and 15 healthy
controls, researchers found that neck pain patients are more likely to exhibit low heart rate variability,
particularly if they reported higher levels of pain intensity and disability. Further study is needed to determine
how heart rate variability plays a role in neck pain or vice versa.
