Processed Meat and Death

Zoomer Report ·

2019/11/05

We already know that processed meat is bad for us. Now there’s evidence it’s worse than we thought. A study of half a million Europeans in the journal BMC Medicine finds that eating too much processed meat actually increases the risk of dying young. Researchers estimate that 3% of all premature deaths can be attributed to the high consumption of sausages, bacon, ham and salami. People who ate more than 160 grams of processed meat a day — about two sausages and a slice of bacon — were almost 50 per

Theres more evidence about how noise can affect your health. A study of more than three and a half million people who live near Heathrow Airport in London finds their location increased the risks of stroke, heart and circulatory disease. The work published in the British medical Journal suggested those risks were 10-20% higher in areas with the highest levels of aircraft noise. And for the 70,000 people who lived where the aircraft noise was loudest, there was a also a higher risk of both

Body Image and Older Women

2019/11/05

The theory is that it’s younger women who are obsessed with the way they look, and highly self-critical. But a study in The Journal of Women & Aging found the majority of women aged 50 and older are still not happy with their shape and size. What’s interesting is that this research is focused on the positive. It concentrates on the mere 12% who are happy with their bodies – in an attempt to discover the secrets of this satisfaction.` The researchers looked at more than 1700 women who

No Healthy Obesity

2019/11/05

Can you be fat and fit? Over the last few years, there were studies claiming that this was possible. But research from Mt. Sinai Hospital shows that excess weight still carries health risks, including the risk of premature death, even when cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. The work published in Annals of Internal Medicine, looked at findings from published studies tracking heart health and weight in more than 60,000 adults. The scientists found that people who were obese but

It’s a testament to the power and importance of preventing smoking – an interesting “what if” to mark the 50th anniversary of the landmark 1964 U.S. Surgeon General’s report on the ills of smoking. A study the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that half a century of anti-smoking campaigning has prevented 8 million premature deaths in the United States, giving those people an average of nearly 20 additional years of life. In 1964, almost 60 percent of American men and more than
