Health Alert: Congenital Heart Issues and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Using data from the National
Survey of Children's Health, researchers report that children with a congenital heart disorder are at elevated risk
for neurodevelopmental disorders, including difficulties with speech and language. While a causal mechanism
has not been established, the findings suggest that kids with congenital heart disorders should be monitored for
potential neurodevelopmental issues. Italian Journal of Pediatrics, April 2024
Diet: Avoid Caffeine and Big Meals Before Bedtime. Baylor College of Medicine notes that drinking caffeine
before bed can significantly delay the time it takes to fall asleep, while high-calorie meals in the late evening
can redirect blood from the brain to the gut to aid digestion, altering sleep cycles.
Baylor College of Medicine, May 2024
Exercise: Fitness Benefits Cancer Survivors. Following an analysis of data from the Korean National Health
Insurance Service, researchers report that individuals who increase their physical activity levels (or remain
active) following cancer diagnosis can reduce their risk for ischemic stroke in the following four years by about
15%. Unfortunately, the majority of sedentary cancer patients remain physically inactive after their diagnosis.
Cancer, May 2024
Chiropractic: Rotator Cuff Injury? A systematic review and meta-analysis of data from 24 studies concluded
that the combination of manual therapy and specific exercises can improve pain and function in patients with a
rotator cuff injury. Doctors of chiropractic often employ manual therapies and exercises as part of a multimodal
approach to address musculoskeletal disorders, including shoulder injuries. Biomed Reports, April 2024
Mental Attitude: One-in-Ten Kids Has ADHD? It’s estimated that 6.5 million children in the United States
currently have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with the majority exhibiting moderate-to-severe
symptoms. However, 44% have not received any treatment for ADHD of any kind in the previous year and a
third has never undergone any ADHD-specific care.
Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, May 2024
Wellness/Prevention: A Matcha Mouthwash Might Fight Gum Disease. A recent experiment revealed that
using mouthwash twice a day that contains matcha green tea can inhibit the growth of Porphyromonas
gingivalis, a bacteria linked to gum disease. Microbiology Spectrum, May 2024

Does Sitting Cause Back Pain?

A major manufacturer of workstations reports that 86% of work computer users have to sit all day, and when they do rise from sitting, more than half (56%) use food as the excuse to get up and move. In addition to sitting at work, for meals, and commuting to/from work, 36% sit another one to two h

Health Alert: Stress Disorders Linked to Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the
central nervous system in which the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord resulting in symptoms
such as numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness, and paralysis. An
analysis of data from 26 cohort studies found that individuals with stress disorders (such as post-traumatic stress
disorder) may be nearly two times more likely to develop MS. Additionally, stress disorders triple the risk for
relapse in MS patients. Brain, Behavior & Immunity, June 2024
Diet: Mediterranean Diet Promotes Longevity. The Mediterranean diet is an eating pattern focused on fruit,
vegetables, nuts, fish, olive oil, and whole grains while avoiding red and processed meats, dairy, saturated fats,
and refined sugars. An analysis of data concerning more than 25,000 women found that greater adherence to the
Mediterranean diet pattern is associated with a lower risk of death from either cancer or cardiovascular disease
over a 25-year time frame. JAMA Network Open, April 2024
Exercise: Exercise Can Improve Wellbeing of Caregivers. Meeting the needs of a sick loved one can take a
toll on the mental health of a caregiver. In a recent study, researchers found that participation in a twelve-week
strength training program led to significant improvements in anxiety, depression, and overall quality of life for
caregivers. Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation, April 2024
Chiropractic: Treatment for Cervicogenic Headaches. Cervicogenic headaches are secondary headaches
caused by dysfunction in the neck. A recent study found that manipulative therapy—the primary treatment
provided by doctors of chiropractic— applied to the cervical spine is an effective intervention for reducing
headache frequency and intensity, as well as neck pain and disability. PLOS One, March 2024
Mental Attitude: Light Therapy May Help Heal Injured Brains. New research suggests that pulsing nearinfrared light into the skull of a patient who has sustained a severe concussion can boost energy production in
brain cells, leading to improved blood flow and reduced inflammation, which may aid in recovery.
Radiology, May 2024
Wellness/Prevention: Urban Gardening May Boost Skin Health. In a recent experiment, researchers
observed that city dwellers who contributed to an urban garden for one month experienced improved bacterial
diversity on their skin, which may counteract the elevated risk for allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases
that have been linked to living in urban areas. Environment International, May 2024

Health Alert: Cardiovascular Disease Will Be More Common in 2050. The American Heart Association
estimates that the incidence of cardiovascular disease will increase by about 33% over 2020 levels by 2050. The
findings shed light on the importance of population-level efforts to increase physical activity levels, reduce
sedentary time, stop smoking, avoid excessive alcohol intake, better manage stress, and eat a healthy diet—all
of which can benefit cardiovascular health. Circulation, June 2024
Diet: Front-of-Package Nutrition Labeling Results in Healthier Products. Researchers from the University
of Massachusetts Amherst note that after France required food manufacturers to place a nutrition score on the
front of the package, the health quality of packaged foods increased relative to neighboring countries without
such regulations. European Review of Agricultural Economics, May 2024
Exercise: Most Older Women Don’t Exercise Enough. Using activity data concerning more than 14,000
participants from the Women’s Health Study, researchers calculated that the average older woman logs 62
minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity a week. This falls short of fitness guidelines that recommend
at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity a week.
JAMA Internal Medicine, May 2024
Chiropractic: Managing Tennis Elbow. For patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy, more commonly known
as tennis elbow, a recent study found that a multimodal approach that included addressing trigger points in the
forearm muscles, extremity manipulation, cervical spinal manipulation, and physiotherapy resulted in better
outcomes with respect to elbow pain, pain intensity, function, and disability than physiotherapy alone. Such a
multimodal approach is often utilized by doctors of chiropractic when managing lateral elbow tendinopathy.

Mental Attitude: Creativity and Humor in the Elderly. Researchers at the University of Brescia and the
Catholic University of the Sacred Heart report that engaging in activities that promote creativity and humor can
improve well-being and overall quality of life in seniors. Neuroscience Letters, April 2024
Wellness/Prevention: Modifiable Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes. Following an analysis of data from both
the UK Biobank study and the FinnGen study, researchers report that a high intake of fruit and cheese, as well
as increase physical activity are protective against type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, smoking and being
overweight are linked to an increased risk for the metabolic disorder. Cureus, April 2024
