After participants consumed peanuts daily for 16 weeks, researchers observed improved insulin responsiveness in a group of brain regions in the right hemisphere. These included portions of the lingual gyrus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and posterior cingulate gyrus, all of which contribute to memory-related processes. Scientists discover a surprising brain benefit of eating peanuts every day […]
The video – https://www.vumedi.com/video/the-truth-about-your-metabolism-as-you-age/ The AI summary highlights curated by a human – Subtle daily calorie surpluses (50-100 calories) accumulate over time, leading to gradual weight gain. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) decreases by 5-25% over a lifetime, compounded by age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). Reduced NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis): Daily unconscious movements and activities decline with […]
Upon reading the news on how pizza chains are suffering due to consumer preferences for chicken I decided to personally try to make a difference by eating pizza. Here’s last night’s order: Look at those discounts! The small cheese was free, the medium thin was a semi-permanent special always discounted, I had a $5.00 loyalty […]
When the conversation centers on finding the next “miracle ingredient,” we risk losing sight of what truly matters: filling our plates with fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and other minimally processed plant foods. Health rarely depends on a single food. Rather, it depends on the overall dietary pattern and the synergistic interaction between thousands of […]
The study estimates that 13.8% of women in Bolotana who reach 70 will survive to 100, versus approximately 3.6% of U.S. women, roughly one in seven compared with one in 28. At 70, women in Bolotana were estimated to have nearly 21 years of life remaining. Bolotana also differs from the original Sardinian blue zones […]
I think the ICD-10 code “V91.07 – Burn due to water skis on fire” is going to help bring our understanding of health to new heights…
Anticipating the angst of October 1st, we’ve developed and recently released an app that may help alleviate the anxiety related to the ICD-10 implementation. Especially for the small practices that don’t have the support or budgets of a hospital HIM department.
You can check it out at http://icd10doc.com for fun or some serious coding.
Even with our amazing app we could not find a code for “Major depression due to ICD-10 implementation” though.
