Apples And Blackberries May Help Fight Frailty

According to a recent Gallup Institute, the lifetime rate of clinical depression in America has reached a brand new all-time high, with the Gallup Panel results from 5,167 adults revealing that women and young adults are among the most vulnerable. 

The results also revealed that 29% of American adults have been diagnosed with depression at some point in their lives, which is almost a 10% increase from the 2015 report, and the number of Americans being treated for depression increased to 17.8%. 

According to a large study recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, those aged 60+ who take a multivitamin every day may benefit from the slower age-related memory decline. Researchers from Columbia University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard reported that the results of improvement remained steady over the 3 year study period, and the impact was more significant among those with underlying heart disease.

According to a study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Digital Health conducted at Klick Labs, 1 in 5 people may not be as healthy as they appear. The study describes a new way the researchers developed to detect the earliest signs of type 2 diabetes, and using this approach the research team found that a fifth of people classed as being healthy by conventional medical standards actually have the metabolism of a person dealing with prediabetes.

According to research presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Dublin, Ireland, whole-body cryostimulation therapy, which is the process of exposing either a part of or the entire body to cold temperatures, may help obese people become healthier, suggesting that just two minutes in the cold can assist with weight loss.
