Major Financial Stress Dramatically Increases Your Risk of a Heart Attack | By Benjamin Ryan | Virtually Modern Medicine
Under the cloud of money worries? Adding insult to injury, this emotional predicament could make you considerably more likely to suffer a heart attack according to new research out of South Africa.
Scientists have long known that psychological factors are intertwined with heart attack risk—specifically what is known as acute myocardial infarction.

Major Blood Pressure Drug, Hydrochlorothiazide, May Cause Skin Cancer | By Benjamin Ryan | Virtually Modern Medicine
The widely used blood pressure medication hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) may cause non-melanoma forms of skin cancer according to a new study of Danish patients. The investigators studied the usage of HCTZ between 1995 and 2012 based on a national prescription registry. The authors of the study found that long term usage of HCTZ, which is a diuretic also used to treat water retention (edema), was associated with a higher rate of two types of skin cancer and that greater usage of the drug increased the risk of each.
The most ...

There are many patients which take hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) as a single medicinal agent or in combination with other medicines for high blood pressure or edema. It's important to discuss your cancer history with your healthcare professionals and to discuss whether or not HCTZ is necessary to treat your medical condition. For patients who have had a previous history of skin cancer(s) and since HCTZ may increase your risk of new skin cancer it seems reasonable to consider other treatment options. Stay healthy.

Starting Boys in Football Before Age 12 Could Be Particularly Damaging | By Benjamin Ryan | Virtually Modern Medicine
Forget “mothers don’t let their sons grow up to be football players.” Should parents let their children play the game at all, given the mounting evidence of myriad long-term detrimental effects associated with the repetitive head injuries incumbent to the contact sport?
At the very least, a new study raises pressing questions about what age is safer for boys to begin with the pigskin.
Boston University researchers analyzed more than 200 former football players, including those who played professionally and one-time amateurs, ...

How to Keep Your Brain Healthy in Seven Steps | By Benjamin Ryan | Virtually Modern Medicine @Pharmative
Want to keep your brain in shape? It starts with the heart. That’s because the benefits of maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system very likely extend to the old noggin as well.
With this in mind, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA) has developed a tidy set of recommendations of lifestyle choices individuals can make to protect their brain health and help keep the organ working well.
As the baby boom generation ages into the senior years, dementia looms as an increasingly major concern for society. ...

Seven steps to a healthy brain and life! Stay healthy, Dr. J.
There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about how sitting is a silent scourge against health. As desk-bound Americans, we commit this supposed affront to our bodies an average of about seven hours a day.
Now for the first time, a group of scientists has pooled the results of numerous studies in an effort to quantify just how much more energy the body expends if you replace sitting with standing. The estimated difference is modest, but at least in theory could lead to weight loss and benefit individual health ...

Losing weight and eating healthy are all about three things: 1) burning more calories than you consume on average; 2) increasing your daily exercise; 3) gradually change your daily behavior to incorporate more healthy choices. I'm working on it! So, throw away your diet pills and focus on these three areas. Stay healthy!
