A recent study published in the journal Brain Research highlights this important connection.Led by Owen Griffith from Penn State, researchers discovered that student-athletes with both concussion and depression experience more severe symptoms than those with just one of these conditions.

Common Signs That Can Be Health Issues

Many times, the sign of bad health can be difficult to spot. We all have a different perception about what ‘bad health’ looks or feels like. However, there are also subtle signs that your body gives when there is something amiss. These symptoms can be as simple as yawning frequently or feeling bloated, which are things that can happen due to regular lifestyle habits like eating or not sleeping enough. These subtle signs can pinpoint what you may be lacking and many times it is the lack of certain nutrients. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Subtle Signs Of Lacking Health <br /></h2><br />Our hectic lifestyles can often lead us to dismiss health concerns and label them as inconsequential. If one notices these symptoms popping up a lot, make sure you bring it up with a healthcare professional. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Persistent Snoring <br /></h4><br />Loud night noises aren't always just annoying; they can mean your nose shape is off or hint at bigger sleep problems. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute explains that snoring can sometimes hide serious health issues, like obstructive sleep apnea which basically starts and stops breathing. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Easy Bruising <br /></h4><br />Harvard Health Publishing explains that if you get bruises from tiny bumps, your body might lack important stuff like vitamins C and K. Eating more fruits and veggies can help. However, if you're still getting lots of bruises, it could mean something else, like a liver problem. It's best to get it checked out by a doctor. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Itchy Skin <br /></h4><br />Dry skin is a common reason for itching, but it can also be a sign of allergies or other health problems. Regular lotion helps, but if the itching doesn't stop, see a dermatologist. They can figure out if it's just dry skin or something more serious, like a thyroid issue or even something rare. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Chronically Cold Hands and Feet <br /></h4><br />The Cleveland Clinic explains always having cold hands or feet can mean your blood isn't flowing well, or you need more iron or vitamin B12. If your feet change color when cold, that's a red flag. Eating foods with iron and B12 can help, but see a doctor to rule out any blood flow issues. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Frequent Bloating <br /></h4><br />Feeling puffy all the time is often because you're not drinking enough water or your body's salts are off. Drinking more water and coconut or cucumber water can help. If it keeps happening, your body could be telling you something is off balance, so pay attention. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Eye Twitching <br /></h4><br />Eyes that twitch a lot can be from not sleeping enough, but it can also be a rare sign of a nerve problem Multiple sclerosis, according to Mayo Clinic. They can figure out if it's just tiredness or something else. Don't try to guess what it is online, get a professionals opinion. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Persistent Bad Breath <br /></h4><br />Bad breath is often from not brushing well or not drinking enough water. Brushing, flossing, and drinking water help. Eating yogurt or kimchi can also help. If your breath is still bad, it could be a mouth infection, so see a doctor. They can give you medicine if needed. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Excessive Sweating <br /></h4><br />Sweating a lot, even when it's not hot, can mean your thyroid is overactive or hint at other problems. If you also feel sick, dizzy, or have a headache, see a doctor right away. It's better to be safe, as sweating can be a sign of something that needs immediate medical help. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Constant Sleepiness <br /></h4><br />Always feeling tired can be from a bad diet or a sleep problem where you stop breathing at night. Eating healthy foods like fruits and tea can help. If you're still tired, a sleep doctor can find out why you're not resting well and help you get better sleep. <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

Coffee Wrongly Labelled As Decaffeinated Gets Recalled: Is There Really A Difference?

decaffeinated coffee

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled ground coffee in 15 states. This decision has come into play after it was found that these ground coffee may have been wrongly labeled as decaffeinated. Hundreds of 12-ounce bags of coffee were part of recall. The product belonged from the Our Family Traverse City Cherry Decaf Light Roast Ground Coffee and had been sold in Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. <br /><br />However, the company confirmed that no other products were affected. The company said, "We are committed to your health and safety, and we follow best practices to ensure the quality and safety of the products we sell. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." The statement was given to NBC News. <br /><br />The FDA categorized this as a II recall. It means that this is a "situation in which use of, or exposure of, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." <br /><br /><h4>What Is A Decaf Coffee?<br /></h4><br />The decaffeinated coffee is the kind of coffee from where the caffeine removed. In this process, 97% of the caffeine is derived from coffee beans and is removed to create a decaf coffee. However, it is important to note that it is not entirely free of caffeine, but contains somewhere around 2 to 7 mg of caffeine per cup. <br /><br />However, regular cup of coffee contains around 70 to 140 mg caffeine in an average cup, the range may vary depending on the drink. <br /><br /><h4>Why Was Decaf Coffee Created?<br /></h4><br />Decaf coffee was for the first time was made commercially available in 1906 in Germany. The dates however are debated between 1903 and 1906, but it is confirmed to be available around the early 1900s. It was created by Ludwig Roselius, who thought his father died because of too much caffeine. This is when it became the mission of his life to create a blend that would taste the same as coffee but without what he thought was the 'poison' in it. It was caffeine. <br /><br /><h4>Decaf By Accident<br /></h4><br />He accidentally found answer to his problems. It was during one of the coffee bean shipments that a box got immersed in seawater and when brewed it was discovered that the water had removed most of the caffeine content from the beans. This led to Roselius, patenting the way of steaming coffee to remove the caffeine. It is a process which is used even today. <br /><br /><h4>How Is Coffee Decaffeinated?<br /></h4><br />The process is known as the Roselius process. This is when the green coffee beans are steamed with a brine, which is a salt water solution. After this, benzene is used as a solvent to remove the caffeine. However, it is no longer used because it causes some serious health concerns as it decreases the production of red blood cells, and cancer in blood-forming organs. <br /><br />At this moment, there are four major processes used for decaffeination: Direct-Solvent Process, Indirect-Solvent Process, Swiss Water Process, and Carbon Dioxide Process.<br /><br /><h4>What Is The Benefit of Decaf Coffee?<br /></h4><br />It is a healthier coffee as it could be ideal for reducing caffeine intake. It could also help you drink more coffee without negative effects of having to stay up late or dealing with insomnia. <br /><br />In fact, decaf coffee can help you sleep and has a milder taste. <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

australia health news

As per the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) National Health Measures Survey, 1 in 15 Australian adults is living with diabetes. The ABS also included the details on the number of Australians who showed signs of kidney disease, vitamin D deficiencies and other potential chronic illnesses. <br /><br />The survey also noted a total 6.6% of Australians over the age of 18 have diabetes. There is also an increase of 1.5% when compared to a decade ago. <br /><br /><h4>What Is Diabetes?<br /></h4><br />Diabetes is a long-term condition that happens when there is too much sugar in your bloodstream. This is because your body is unable to process it correctly. When someone is diabetes-free, the pancreas produce a hormone called insulin that helps move sugar into the cells of the body. However, with someone with diabetes, the pancreas either does not make enough insulin or the body does not use it well. This leads to sugar build up in the blood.<br /><br /><h4>Increasing Prevalence of Diabetes<br /></h4><br />Diabetes has become a significant health challenge in Australia, with the number of diagnosed individuals rising to 1.3 million between 2000 and 2021. Data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) shows that men are more likely to have diabetes than women. Additionally, adults living in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas are at a higher risk of developing the condition. These figures highlight the growing burden of diabetes on individuals and healthcare systems nationwide.<br /><br />Apart from diagnosed cases, an estimated 500,000 Australians may be living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. The National Health Measures Survey also found that 2.7% of adults are at high risk of developing diabetes. The prevalence of undiagnosed cases suggests a need for increased awareness, screening, and early intervention to prevent complications.<br /><br /><h4>What Could Be The Risk Factors?<br /></h4><br />Several health risk factors contribute to diabetes, including a high body mass index (BMI), large waist circumference, smoking, and high blood pressure. Individuals with diabetes are more likely to exhibit multiple risk factors compared to those without the condition. However, data also shows that 88.9% of people with diabetes are non-smokers, and 70.5% maintain normal blood pressure levels. These findings align with the management goals set by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.<br /><br /><h4>How Can Diabetes Be Managed?<br /></h4><br />Lifestyle and dietary changes can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Research indicates that up to 58% of cases can be delayed or prevented through healthier choices. However, approximately 42% of cases are linked to genetic factors, making prevention challenging for some individuals. Reducing the stigma around diabetes is essential to encourage at-risk individuals to seek medical advice and support without fear of judgment.<br /><br /><h4>Cholesterol and Vitamin D Deficiency Trends<br /></h4><br />The AIHW health survey also examined cholesterol levels and vitamin D deficiencies among Australians. Around 30.2% of adults have high cholesterol, with women more likely to be affected than men. Additionally, 17.8% of adults have cholesterol levels close to abnormal.<br /><br />High-density lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as "good cholesterol," plays a crucial role in transporting cholesterol to the liver for breakdown. However, 14.9% of Australians have an abnormally low HDL level, increasing their risk of heart disease and stroke.<br /><br /><h4>Seasonal Variations in Vitamin D Levels<br /></h4><br />Vitamin D deficiency is another widespread health concern, affecting 20.6% of adults. Seasonal variations impact deficiency rates, with 26.1% of adults experiencing low vitamin D levels in winter, compared to 15.5% in summer. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, bone health, and muscle function, and severe deficiencies can lead to brittle bones and other health issues.<br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />
