Which public places are riskiest during the pandemic?
That’s the question researchers at Stanford University set out to answer with a new computer model.[1]
They analyzed cellphone data from 98 million Americans living in 10 major cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
The data showed where people went in the course of a day, how much time they spent there, and how crowded the places were.
Making sure you have sufficient vitamin D is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health. Studies show that vitamin D can boost immunity and may even help protect against coronavirus. And that’s just the beginning.
It has also been shown to prevent heart disease, depression, obesity, and osteoporosis.
But a study found that to use vitamin D efficiently, you need one crucial mineral.
When your doctor delivers the terrible news that you have cancer, the last thing you want to worry about is whether his treatment recommendation is motivated by profit.
But a study found that men with prostate cancer have good reason for concern.
The standard prostate cancer treatments are surgery, radiation, and watchful waiting, also called active surveillance.
Watchful waiting means having regular checkups to make sure the tumor isn’t spreading.
It doesn’t get nearly the publicity of other deadly health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. But it may be even worse.
That’s because metabolic syndrome is the root cause of many of the most lethal illnesses. And more than a third of Americans have it.
Metabolic syndrome increases your risk of heart disease fourfold. And it makes you 30 times more likely to develop diabetes.
The CDC tells us that if we stand at least 6 feet away from other people we will be able to avoid catching coronavirus.
Here are the exact words from CDC guidelines…
“To practice social or physical distancing, stay at least 6 feet (about two arms’ length) from other people who are not from your household.”
But this oft-repeated 6-foot rule is nonsense, according to new research that documents cases of people who caught the virus while staying well outside that distance.
Each year more than 300,000 seniors are hospitalized with hip fractures. For many of them, it is the start of a downward health spiral that ends in death.
One in five hip fracture patients will die within a year of their injury.[1]
A surprising number of people are at high risk for broken bones. About 40% of Americans over 50 have osteoporosis or low bone mass.
