A
daily glass of wine can be good for your heart, but it can also benefit
your bones if you’re a woman. A new study found that women in their 50s
and 60s who consumed one or two drinks a day had higher bone mineral
density compared with heavy drinkers and people who don't consume
alcohol at all. The bone benefit was not seen in men who were moderate
drinkers. Source Link
If
you’re having trouble getting your pre-schooler to go to sleep at
night, you may want to check what they’re watching on TV just before
bedtime. A new study found that 3-to-5-year-olds can lose sleep over
kid’s shows with too much action or cartoon violence. The best advice is
to switch off the TV and read to them or let children play with toys to
ease into bedtime. Source Link
Don’t
have an hour to devote to exercise each day? No problem, because 30
minutes might do even better. A study found that overweight men who
exercised hard enough to raise a sweat for 30 minutes a day lost more
weight than those who exercised for an hour. Researchers think the
30-minute limit might leave enough energy to be more physically active
the rest of the day. Source Link
