Should I be eating more fiber?
You probably know the basics about fiber: it’s the part of plant foods that your body cannot digest, and there are two types — soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Both types of fiber are good for us. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, forming a gel. It is the form of fiber that helps lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of heart disease, and regulate blood sugar levels. Soluble fiber is found in black beans, lima beans, Brussels sprouts, avocado, sweet potato, broccoli, tu

The wonders of winter workouts
Exercising in colder temperatures offers many advantages. Even though the temperature has dropped, this doesn't mean you have to bring your workouts indoors.

Watch out for hypothermia Exercising in cold weather

Depression
Sadness touches our lives at different times, but usually comes and goes. Depression, in contrast, often has enormous depth and staying power. It is more than a passing bout of "the blues."

Cholesterol
Cholesterol isn't entirely the health villain it's made out to be, its name darkly linked to heart attack, stroke, and other types of cardiovascular disease. Our bodies need cholesterol, which is a type of lipid (another name for fat) to make cell membranes, key hormones like testosterone and estrogen, the bile acids needed to digest and absorb fats, and vitamin D.

Headache: When to worry, what to do
Understanding what causes headaches and finding treatments to relieve the pain Nearly everyone has had headache pain, and most of us have had it many times. A minor headache is little more than a nuisance that's relieved by an over-the-counter pain reliever, some food or coffee, or a short rest. But if your headache is severe or unusual, you might worry about stroke, a tumor, or a blood clot. Fortunately, such problems are rare. Still, you should know when a headache needs ur

New physical activity guidelines: Even a little activity will help health.
An update to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans may motivate you to move a little more. The guidelines, published online Nov. 12, 2018, by JAMA, uphold previous recommendations from 2008 that urged at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk walking. But the new guidelines break from the old rule that physical activity had to be accumulated in bouts of at least 10 minutes to count toward your weekly total. Now the evidence shows it

Τι πρέπει να γνωρίζουμε όλοι μας για τον ιό της γρίπης H1N1
Τι είναι ο ιός της γρίπης Η1Ν1; Η νέα γρίπη που ονομάζεται επίσης γρίπη Η1Ν1 οφείλεται σε έναν ιό που εμφανίστηκε το 2009 και προσβάλλει τους ανθρώπους. Αρχικά, η νέα γρίπη ονομάστηκε γρίπη των χοίρων, γιατί ο ιός περιέχει γονίδια από τον ιό της γρίπης των χοίρων, των πτηνών και των ανθρώπων σε έναν συνδυασμό που δεν είχε εμφανιστεί μέχρι σήμερα. Πρόκειται για ιό για τον οποίο, δυστυχώς, δεν υπάρχει ανοσία στο μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό του πληθυσμού αναπαραγωγικής ηλικίας και για τ
