I’m 28 and I Don’t Know My Family HistoryHere’s How That Affects My Health – msnNOW

Photo: Getty Images / Johner Images family medical history

If there's one thing I've learned over the years as a health and wellness writer, it's that information is power. The flip side of that is the fact that not having key information available to you can be deeply disempowering. Like millions of other Americans, I'm adopted, which means I haven't been able to find out a lot about important health information that most people have readily available to them: family health history and genetic health information.

Family health history is essentially just that: knowing the health histories of members of your biological family. This kind of information can help doctors pinpoint whether you are at risk for certain health conditions that can run in families or be determined by genetics. "Family history is a strong clue for chronic disease risks you may face, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes," says Latha Palaniappan, MD, the scientific director of Genomics and Pharmacogenomics in Primary Care at Stanford Medicine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) CDC recommends documenting as much as you can about your family's health history in order to share with your doctor, and ask for additional testing if you're concerned about your risk for a specific disease.

While I've always valued a healthy lifestyleI try to eat well, sleep enough, exercise, and manage stress as much as possibleI've wondered recently if my inclination towards healthy living has been driven in part by fear, specifically the fear of what I don't know about my health and genetics. Since I don't know what could be in my genes, at least I do have some control over my lifestyle now, and that counts for a lot, right?

Thankfully, Dr. Palaniappan assures me that family history is not the end-all, be-all of what will happen with your health."Family history is probabilistic, not predictive," she says. (Basically, it can educate you about your odds of experiencing a certain health outcome, but not predict it outright.) But if you do have access to that information, use it, since "family history provides important clues about your health risks," says Dr. Palaniappan.

So if you don't have access to this information, should you be worried? And what else can you do, besides actually going out to try to find your biological relatives' information (which is a hugely personal choice, and not possible for some)? There are some other things you can do to help you gather more information about your health and feel more empowered about your future.

Honestly, I didn't think about my family health history too much until I started approaching 30. As the mystery surrounding family health information came up a bit more for me, I talked to my mom and my sister about my concerns surrounding what we don't know. When my mom got me a 23andMe DNA test (which start at $199 for the Health + Ancestry test) for Christmas one year, I was excitedand kind of anxiousto have the chance to take a deeper look into my health information.

23andMe is just one example of a direct-to-consumer (DTC) DNA test that can give you some more information about your health. According to the company's website, the health reports available with the test include genetic information that can clue you in to your genetic risk for conditions like type 2 diabetes, select variants of BRCA1/BRCA2 (the gene associated with breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer), celiac disease, uterine fibroids, and more. The brand's test can tell you about your carrier status (meaning if you carry genes linked to an inherited disease that could affect your children) for some diseases like cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia.

Gallery: Sure Signs You've Already Had COVID, Says Dr. Fauci in New Report (ETNT Health)

However, these DTC tests don't often come with specific consultation to walk you through what's present in your genome and how that translates into actual risk. That's why it's important to work with a genetics expert or genetic counselor if you can, says Robert C. Green MD, a medical geneticist who leads the Preventative Genomics Clinic at the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital, and is the director of the Genomes2People Research Program."You [can] have a geneticist or genetic counselor who basically talks to you about what [the test results] mean and what should you do about it. What should you worry about and what should you not worry about," says Dr. Green. For example, if you tested positive for the gene for a certain hereditary cancer, a genetic counselor can help you with the next steps, like if you should seek more testing or work with a specialist.

Dr. Green adds that DTC tests aren't the most comprehensive testing option. That's because most of them use what's called chip-based DNA technology, which essentially scan your genome for known common mutations or markers along your genome, he says. "[This technology] can be very good for ancestry for [finding relatives] and for certain specific markers, such as the Ashkenazi Jewish BRCA1 mutation that 23andMe looks for. It does not look at every letter in your genes, and it's not typically set up to find rare or novel mutations that can affect your health." (They're not always super accurate, eithera 2019 study found that these chips have a very high false-positive rate for rare genetic mutations.) "For health reasons sequencingwhich looks at every letter in a segment of your genome or across the whole genomeis more expensive, but much, much more comprehensive," he says.

DNA testing is definitely not cheap (it can run anywhere from $200 up to $2,000 for the more in-depth testing, and isn't always covered by insurance) and it's certainly not the only way to find out more information about your health.

If you don't know much about your family health history, Dr. Palaniappan encourages paying attention to key health markers including blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, and heart rate, and getting those checked regularly. "These measurable risk factors can be effectively treated to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes," says Dr. Palaniappan. "Everyone can reduce the risk of disease by eating a healthy diet, getting enough exercise, and not smoking. Cancer screening tests such as mammograms and colorectal cancer screening can detect precancer and treatable cancers early," she says.

While getting the DNA test felt like a great first step to knowing more about my health, it's also good to know that the everyday things that I sometimes don't even think about (like walking my dog) might have a bigger impact on my health than I thought before."What you do each and every daywhat you eat, how much you exercise, and your other health behaviors, can ultimately affect your risk of developing disease," says Dr. Palaniappan. If anything, I've learned that not knowing your family health history doesn't have to be a huge blank spot, but if I ever do want to know more, there are optionswhich is empowering for sure.

Chocolates are fun, but your heart needs better help than that – pentictonherald.ca

Valentines Day, the largest chocolate and flower day of the year happens tomorrow. Youre welcome to all the gents reading this, you've still got time to pick up something for your sweetheart.

In addition to flowers, chocolate, wine and heart-shaped pizzas, paradoxically February is also heart-health month. As much as wed like to believe consuming a box of dark chocolates and a bottle of red wine after dinner can be good for the heart, the palette is by far the body part experiencing the greatest benefits.

Now, before you all go labelling me as anti-chocolate and no fun, I am a chocolate lover. In fact Ive created several chocolate recipes that are not only delicious, but healthy. Something Ive been able to share and help my clients stay on track with their health goals and not feel deprived. And on the rare occasion, Ill have a glass of red wine.

Dark chocolate and red wine both contain resveratrol, a component that does promote heart health. What most people dont know however, is that the amount of resveratrol youd ingest over dessert with your sweetheart, isnt enough to make a significant difference in your health.

As youve heard (or read) me say before, we can get all the nutrients our body needs from food. Theres no question God gave us great stuff here on this planet. The question is, do we? An article published by the Kressler Institute in 2018 reported, More than half the calories Americans consume, come from nutrient-depleted, ultra-processed foods... and went on to say that Nearly one-third (31%) of the U.S. population is at risk for at least one vitamin deficiency or anemia.

United States stats are always easier to dig up, but trust me, Canadians are right there too.

Since were smack dab in the middle of heart month, let's look at three supplements that are known for building and supporting a healthy heart. Ive already mentioned resveratrol. Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10, and Omega 3.

As with any nutrient, taking a supplement should not be considered a replacement for the healthy foods that also contain the same nutrients. Supplements are to come alongside and fill the gaps, not provide a get-out-of-eating-your-veggies free card.

Of these three, if you take supplements at all, you're most likely using, or at least have heart of, omega 3s. Several types of fish including salmon, lake trout, sardines, herring, anchovies, as well as nuts, seeds, flaxseed, and chia all contain omega 3 fatty acids. Great for supporting brain function, alleviating rheumatoid arthritis, and joint pain, omega 3s also help to lower blood fat levels.

In other words, omega 3s help bring down elevated triglycerides and lowers cholesterol, which also brings down your risk of heart disease and stroke. And unless youre eating fish daily, supplementing is definitely a good idea.

Resveratrol, found in red grapes and cocoa beans red wine and dark chocolate is known for its antioxidant properties and a 2015 review posted on PubMed concluded high doses may help reduce the pressure exerted on artery walls when the heart beats, bringing down blood pressure.

Of course, consuming high doses of red wine or chocolate for that matter would produce the opposite effect, creating inflammation. So, supplementing is the way to go.

Researchers also found supplementing with resveratrol had a positive impact on overall cholesterol levels and may also help decrease plaque buildup inside

Unlike resveratrol and omega 3, Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is something our bodies produce naturally.

According to a June 2019 article by Dr. Josh Axe, CoQ10 helps cells produce energy and neutralize free radicals, the damaged cells that cause illness and aging, improve heart health.

It offsets negative effects of statin drugs, slows down DNA damage due to aging, helps maintain ph balance, may slow or reverse the spread of some cancers, supports cognitive function, may improve male infertility, treats symptoms of fibromyalgia.

The amount of CoQ10 our bodies produce reduces with age. And although consuming foods that contain CoQ10 such as meats, poultry, fish, eggs, beans and nuts is something everyone should be doing, Dr. Axe goes on to say that for people who, struggle with certain health conditions, such as heart disease having chronic diseases, high levels of stress, deficient in vitamin B, mitochondria diseases, taking statin drugs, food alone may not be enough as these conditions further impede CoQ10 production.

And as the heart is just one of many areas CoQ10 is needed for optimal health, it's in our best interest to keep those levels up.

As with anything you put in your body, quality matters. Like your car, the better quality fuel you put in, the better performance youre going to get. Whether its food or supplements, same goes for your body. And in case there was any doubt, that old adage you get what you pay for, is true.

Februarys the perfect time to give your heart and yourself some love. Youre worth it.

Does Red Wine Have Any Effect on Weight Loss? – Healthline

Red wine is the alcoholic drink of choice for many people, and its gotten a lot of buzz for its potential health benefits.

The drink, made from fermented red grapes, is loaded with antioxidants, but it can also be full of calories and sugar.

If youre trying to lose weight, you may be wondering if red wine could help you or if it would just be a hindrance.

This article reviews red wines nutrient content, what the evidence says about red wine and weight control, and how you can enjoy red wine while still losing weight.

A 5-ounce (148-mL) serving of red wine contains (1):

Most of the calories in red wine come from alcohol, which provides seven calories per gram, and the remainder comes from carbs (2).

Keep in mind that there are several different types of red wine, all with varying amounts of alcohol and sugar content, which will affect their total calorie count. Additionally, there will be some variation among brands.

A 5-ounce (148-mL) serving of red wine contains 125 calories, mostly from alcohol and carbs. There will be some variation among types and brands of red wine.

Several studies have assessed the link between alcoholic beverages and weight.

When it comes to weight management, there appear to be both pros and cons to drinking red wine.

Red wine is rich in resveratrol and other antioxidants that may benefit blood sugar control, heart health, and inflammation. Additionally, moderate wine consumption may help protect against excess weight gain (2, 3).

Red wine and other flavonoid-rich foods like olive oil, nuts, fruits, and legumes are considered staple foods in the Mediterranean-style diet, which has been associated with better weight control than a standard American diet (4, 5).

Unfortunately, evidence on the effects of red wine itself is fairly mixed. Some animal studies have found that red wine consumption decreases body weight and body fat levels, but others have found the opposite (6, 7, 8).

Additionally, a study in 29 people with obesity found that red wine antioxidants appeared to not affect blood sugar control (9).

However, other human studies have noted that moderate alcohol consumption may help improve blood sugar control potentially making it easier to manage weight (10, 11).

More research is needed before the effects of red wine on weight control are fully understood.

Several studies have noted that excess alcohol consumption is linked to weight gain especially in men (2, 12, 13).

Alcohol contains more calories per gram than carbs and protein, and many alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, and mixed drinks may also be loaded with sugar.

Because of this, it can be easier to consume more calories than you intend to when drinking alcohol (2, 14, 15).

Additionally, overconsumption of alcohol may lead to insulin resistance and blood sugar control problems, which may be a precursor to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (16).

Note that 5 ounces (148 mL) of wine is considered 1 serving, and moderate drinking is defined as no more than 2 servings of alcohol per day for men and 1 serving of alcohol per day for women (15).

Red wine is rich in the antioxidant resveratrol, but research is mixed regarding its positive weight effects. Excess alcohol consumption including red wine may lead to weight gain.

Luckily, you dont have to completely avoid drinking red wine if youre trying to lose weight.

Here are some ways that you can enjoy red wine without hindering your weight loss efforts:

As long as youre watching your portion sizes and drinking in moderation, wine shouldnt have a huge effect on your weight.

Additionally, if you notice that your weight loss is slowing down and nothing has changed except the amount or frequency of your red wine intake, try cutting back to see if that helps.

You can drink red wine and still lose weight as long as you limit how much you drink and track your calories.

Red wine is rich in antioxidants, but its also full of calories from alcohol and carbs. This makes it a mixed bag when it comes to weight loss.

Too much red wine, or any alcoholic drink, may hinder weight loss and contribute to weight gain. That said, red wine in moderation may provide some protective effects against weight gain.

To enjoy red wine while losing weight, make sure to stick to a single serving, avoid sugary dessert wines, and track your calories.

What Happens To Your Body When You Eat Grapes | Eat This Not That – Eat This, Not That

As far as healthy snacks go, it doesn't get much better than grapes. They're super convenient to pack and take with youand they taste good, to boot. Best of all, they're about 84% water. Simple, meaning you get an instant dose of hydration from munching on them. Grapes come in literally thousands of different varieties and colors, all of them delicious in their own unique way. But what happens to your body when you eat grapes? Well, a lot of things. While grapes offer a bevy of health benefits, they can also do more harm than good if you go overboard with your snackingwhich, let's be honest, is pretty easy to do with this fruit.

A 1-cup serving of red or green grapes contains 28% of your daily recommended intake for vitamin K, a nutrient that's essential for bone and heart health. Not only that, but they're extremely low in fat, sodium, and cholesterol, and an excellent source of vitamin C. Studies have shown that eating grapes doesn't just support your physical health, but also your cognitive health, too: One 2017 studyfound that when adults took a grape supplement daily, they improved their test scores for attention, memory, and language. That said, grapes are also high in sugar and carbs, and low in protein.

Grapes are incredibly versatileyou can snack on them right off the vine, incorporate them into smoothies, toss them into salads, or even freeze them for a popsicle-like treat. Now, if you're curious about what happens to your body when you eat grapes, read on. And for more healthy tips, be sure to check out our list of The 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now.

Grapes pack a whopping 23 grams of sugar per cup.However, certified nutritionist Paul Claybrook, MS, notes that this fruit is relatively low on the glycemic index, meaning they shouldn't cause your blood sugar to spike too much if you eat them in moderation.

"Your blood sugar will increase but not as significantly as something like soda would cause," he explains. "Part of the reason for this is that grapes contain some fiber, which slows down the speed at which your body can absorb nutrients, including sugar. There isn't a whole lot of fiber (just under a gram per cup) but it's enough to keep your blood sugar in a reasonable range as long as you aren't pigging out on them."

Grapes also contain a compound called resveratrol, which research has shown may increase insulin sensitivity, thus having a beneficial effect on your blood sugar levels.

Studies even say that Controlling This Hormone May Help Lower Blood Sugar.

You've heard of antioxidants, right? Those powerful substances that defend your body from free radical damage? Well, grapes are chock-full of them, and they can help protect and repair your cells from oxidative stresswhich is linked to the development of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

"Oxidative stress simply means that there are too many free radicals (waste products) and not enough antioxidants (waste neutralizers) in your body to mop them up," explains Claybrook. "The result is damage to tissues that can lead to disease. Fortunately, grapes contain tons of antioxidants including flavonoids, phenolics, vitamin C, quercetin lutein, beta carotene, and resveratrol."

Research has revealed that grapes contain over 1,600 beneficial plant compounds, and since the highest concentration of antioxidants is in the seeds and the skin, it's better to eat them whole than simply drink grape juice. Additionally, it's also worth noting that red grapes are higher in antioxidants than green ones because they contain anthocyanins, a type of flavanoid that's responsible for their color.

Chronic inflammation can cause a number of long-term symptoms and health issues, including muscle aches and joint pain, weight gain, headaches, fatigue, and gastrointestinal problems. It's also been linked to cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and other serious conditions.

Luckily, according to Claybrook, the diversity of powerful antioxidants found in grapes can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Specifically, resveratrol is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Multiple studieshave found that taking grape powder extract can increase the levels of anti-inflammatory compounds in your blood.

Here are Instant Ways to Reduce Your Inflammation, According to a Doctor.

"While grapes are very healthy, too much of a good thing can still be a problem," says Claybrook.

If you were to eat, say, 2 cups of grapes, you'd be getting almost 47 grams of sugarthat's almost the equivalent of two candy bars.

"Sugar causes weight gain, so you don't want to eat grapes by the pound," adds Claybrook. "Grapes could also cause gas, bloating, diarrhea, and an upset stomach if you overdo it."

One serving is about 1/2 cup or 16 grapeswhich may seem small, but controlling your portion sizes of this fruit will allow you to reap the benefits without the risks of digestive issues and weight gain.

One cup of grapes contains an impressive 288 milligrams of potassium, which plays a key role in lowering blood pressure. Not only that but studies have shown that red grapes contain compounds that may help to reduce total and "bad" LDL cholesterol.

"The polyphenols in grapes have been shown to lower the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)," adds Claybrook. "They do this of course by eliminating free radicals but also improve the function of the tissues and help avoid LDL cholesterol from being damaged and sticking to blood vessel walls. They also help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, thus reducing blood pressure and keep platelets from sticking together and creating clogs."

Here are 17 Foods That Lower Cholesterol.

Grapes are a stellar source of vitamin C, packing 27% of the RDI in 1 cup. As you may or may not know, vitamin C is an essential nutrient that benefits your immune system, which may explain why test-tube studies have shown that grape skin extract can protect against the flu virus.

In fact, 2013 research that compared the immune-boosting effects of hundreds of foods found that red grapes stood outmainly due to the resveratrol, which works with vitamin D to raise the expression of a specific gene involved in immune function.

Here are 8 Ways to Support a Healthy Immune System, According to Harvard.

Resveratrol is polyphenolic compound and an antioxidant agent that is extracted from fruits (grapes, blueberry, and others), and plants. The presence of resveratrol as a key compound in red wine was established in the early 1990s, theorizing that moderate consumption of red wine could help explain the relatively low incidence of cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol has since been a part of several research studies supporting its varied health benefits, ranging from prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, among others, prompting its utilization infunctionalfoods,dietary supplements, pharmaceutical products, cosmetics and personal care, among others.

I Live in the Mountains, and This $30 Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer Is the Only Thing That Hydrates My Skin – Yahoo Lifestyle

Winky Lux Cream

Courtesy/InStyle

I've been spending the winter in the mountains of New Hampshire, which is wonderful for my mental health and terrible for my skin. While I thought subjecting my skin to Boston's city pollution was bad, it's apparently much more adverse to harsh, sub-zero winds and frequent snowstorms. I'd slather expensive cream on my red, chapped cheeks only to wake up with a sprinkling of acne and an oily complexion. Thankfully, I discovered the newly formulated Winky Lux Dream Gele Moisturizer, and my skin is finally at peace.

If I'm being honest, I was initially skeptical because this cream is only $30. If my $100 celebrity-touted products weren't doing the trick, why would a budget-friendly option? Desperation and curiosity led me to try it anyways. Plus, my New Year's resolution was to clean up my skincare a bit, so I liked that it's vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, sulfate-free, and paraben-free.

Shop now: $30; winkylux.com

When I tried the cream, I was impressed that it not only felt lightweight, but that it also melted in, almost like my parched skin was finally taking a long drink of water. The formula was cooling and gave my irritated skin the same sort of relief aloe vera gives a sunburn which makes sense, because aloe vera is one of the key ingredients. I also liked that the formula contained salicylic acid so I'd avoid the dreaded post-moisturizer breakouts.

I let the cream melt into my skin overnight and assessed the results in the morning. Like any good cream containing hyaluronic acid and glycerin, the moisturizer helped to soften and hydrate my dry, flaky patches overnight. Unlike any other cream I'd tried, though, I woke up with a clearer, brighter complexion than the night before. Not only was I free of acne, but the moisturizer appeared to have this plumping effect (thank you, caffeine) that made me look downright dewy. Honestly, I was a little embarrassed to go into the kitchen looking so glowy when the rest of my household was nursing mild winter-induced wind burns.

The cream's newly enhanced formula also contains resveratrol, an ingredient that helps to protect the skin's natural moisture barriers from environmental aggressors, so now I'm proactive against the elements by blending the cream with my sunscreen for my morning walks. Tip: This also makes for a great primer if you're wearing makeup during the day.

Going forward, I'll be saving myself the trouble of purchasing overly priced creams and sticking to Winky Lux's Dream Gele Moisturizer. Shop the top-rated cream now and glow later.

Three ayurvedic concoctions get scientific validation for treating rheumatoid arthritis – Free Press Journal

She said the study was conducted in four phases in rats after inducing rheumatoid arthritis and the treatment duration was based on standard protocol. "Severity of pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis were decided by the infiltration of so many pro-inflammatory cytokines, lymphocytes, oxidants etc. By this study we were able to find that kashayams exerted therapeutic efficacy in the management of rheumatoid arthritis by regulating pro anti-inflammatory cytokines balance, increasing antioxidant level and by immune modulation," said Aswathy.

The study team that was guided by A. Helen, Professor and Mentor, has published their work in the international peer reviewed Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine and two papers are under review. The highlight of the study is that while all these three kashayams are available in the market there was no scientific validation, which the study team has been able to do.

The team instead of relying on the readily available kashayams, decided to make their own under the guidance of Ayurveda physician Sukumara Varier of Kottakal Arya Vaidyasala. The team prepared the decoction from 28 different forms of herbs and the major difference was they did not add any substance, which is added to increase the shelf life.

With regard to the outcome, Aswathy said "our attempt was to give better hope to patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis besides a vehicle to enrich traditional knowledge with well documented scientific background for the sake of mankind."

COVID Long-Haulers Find Relief Among Fellow Sufferers on Road to Recovery – CBS Miami

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) Around California and the Bay Area youll find them: members of a club that no one wants to join. These are patients who experience lingering misery after they no longer test positive for SARS-CoV-2. Theyre known as the long-haulers.

About 10 percent of patients whove had an initial COVID-19 infection will go on to not fully recover, said UCSF neurologist Dr. Juliet Morgan.

It puzzled a lot of us, said Dr. Meghan Jobson, palliative care Fellow at UCSF.

KPIX met two long-haulers: retired former banker Bruce Wheeler and Carla, who is a first responder. Carla asked us not to use her last name.

It felt very lonely and, after a while, you wonder: is this in my head? Wheeler said.

When Carla first noticed the symptoms of her long-haul syndrome, she was worried.

I dont think Im going to be OK, she remembered thinking.

Both were infected last year and felt awful. The infections went away but their brush with the novel coronavirus was far from over. For months, they continue to suffer baffling, debilitating health conditions.

I know what its like to be really tired but this was different, explained Carla.

Carla used to bicycle hundreds of miles and run marathons. Today, she feels extraordinary fatigue, shortness of breath and a terrible, systemic pain.

You know when you cut yourself and you put alcohol in there and you know it burns? she asked. It was similar to that but all over.

Wheeler was an active hiker but he now reports fatigue, persistent shortness of breath, nausea, brain fog and destabilizing headaches.

Many days I get up at 8 oclock in the morning and, at 10 oclock, Im back in bed because my headache is pounding away, he said.

The symptoms for long-haul syndrome vary but can also include a loss of the sense of smell and taste, as well as hair loss.

Theres also a report of patients developing serious inflammatory conditions. Preliminary data indicate that some asymptomatic college athletes developed an inflammatory heart condition.

Whats frustrating is that the syndrome is not well understood. Family, friends, co-workers and colleague often express disbelief at the constellation of symptoms, questioning if the patient is actually sick. Often, patients are mistakenly prescribed anti-anxiety medicine, even anti-depressants.

There just werent answers, Wheeler said.

I felt hopeless, said Carla.

Their situation reached the attention of Dr. Morgan and Dr. Jobson. They both specialize in chronic conditions that impact quality of life and they have expertise in integrative medicine.

What we had been hearing from multiple survivors of COVID-19 is that they didnt feel heard, explained Dr. Jobson.

The cause for the syndrome remains unclear although it may involve an overreactive immune or inflammatory response. And, while older people appear more likely to get it, young people are not immune.

We will see plenty of very young patients in their twenties and thirties who have this COVID long-haul syndrome who continue to suffer, Dr. Morgan said.

The doctors established an online COVID support group: the first of its kind in the nation. Meetings are packed.

There is strength in survivorship, explained Dr. Jobson.

During group sessions, patients share their stories. The doctors answer questions, address fringe treatments and provide expertise in how to manage symptoms.

Shortness of breath, the fatigue we know a lot of the data and literature surrounding these things, Dr. Jobson said.

Instruction is given in ways to relax such as mindfulness and meditation.

Mindfulness is actually pretty powerful and potent medicine. We know in studies that it can reduce markers of stress like cortisol. It can reduce inflammatory markers like IL-6. Dr. Morgan explained.

Bruce Wheeler and Carla told KPIX the online support and help has already provided a great benefit.

Literally in the last two weeks, I began to see improvement on the headache front, Wheeler said.

Instead of doing it every once in a while, now I do it every day, every night, Carla added.

They also learn from each other what strategies work, what doesnt and theyve been inspired by others.

I am really impressed by Carlas strength and that she saw the silver lining even when it was a really bad, bad day, Bruce commented.

Carla did lose her hair. When Bruce saw her online, Carla recounted how he said just the right thing.

He took it upon himself to say You know what Carla, it actually looks pretty good on you, she smiled.

As for the doctors, theyve learned quite a lot from their patients: curiosity, resilience, respect and tenacity.

Theyre showing us what it looks like to ask for help, Dr. Morgan said.

We encourage other people in other areas of the country to start support groups, Dr. Jobson added.

There are other extraordinary COVID long-haul syndrome support groups, such as Survivor Corps and Body Politic.

The UCSF group was so successful and helpful to the long-haulers involved, they asked Dr. Jobson and Dr. Morgan to extend it. Now a new one is set to begin this spring. There is no cost to patients.

Apprenticeships are the catalyst for opportunity – Crain’s Chicago Business

To build a diverse workforce that reflects the country and matches emerging employer needs, we must increase efforts to support students from high school through college with targeted training, on-the-job paid work experience, individualized supports, and career counseling.

Baker's experience highlights a key ingredient: "What really made it work for me was that everyone was committed to one common goal in creating a pathway for success."

Obtaining a four-year college degree is not essential for all students. In Illinois, 52 percent of jobs require education and training beyond high school, but not a B.A. degree. These high-demand fields include health care, medical technology and advanced manufacturing.

At One Million Degrees, our focus is on providing a range of supports to Chicago-area community college students and serving as a connector to employers. Across the state, 60 percent of public college students attend community colleges. Many, like Baker, are the first in their family to attend college and are working full-time jobs and supporting their families.

We are seeing employers across industries partner with educators and students to build on-ramps to in-demand jobs, especially through new apprenticeship programs. There's growing recognition that these programs can help address long-standing underrepresentation in lucrative fields among Blacks, Latinx and women, by providing both access and wraparound support.

Those supports, from stipends and transportation vouchers to child care and counseling must be aligned with the specific needs of each student. "Each individual is unique and needs different supports," says Baker, who found personal contacts for emotional support especially useful over the past year.

Chicago and the state of Illinois are leading the way. MAPP is but one of several new promising programs. Supported by health care providers Rush University Medical Center, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, NorthShore University HealthSystem, University of Chicago Medicine and Sinai Health System, plus West Side United, One Million Degrees and Malcolm X College, the program is designed to help students advance their careers in the health care sector.

The Chicago Apprenticeship Network has become a national model, with one of its founders, Aon, taking the program to six new cities. The strength of the Chicago program is its array of partners40 companies across 16 industries, City Colleges of Chicago and One Million Degreesas it plans to develop 1,000 apprenticeships.

One Million Degrees is also providing mentors to support Career Launch Chicago, an effort by the city of Chicago, Chicago Public Schools and City Colleges to provide high school students entering college with paid work experiences.

Research from the University of Chicago Inclusive Economy Lab on the impact of our support program for community college students shows increases in college enrollment, full-time enrollment and persistence. Our own analysis shows that our support of college apprentices contributes to high retention rates: 98 percent in our collaboration with Aon and 94 percent with MAPP.

We should be encouraged by the momentum around combining training and education opportunities. The state of Illinois is investing in apprenticeships across the state. President Joe Biden pledged during his campaign to make a $50 billion investment in workforce training, including community college business partnerships and apprenticeships.

Apprenticeships can be a bipartisan way of directing increased education and training support to closing skills gaps and should focus on expanding beyond the trades, where they are now concentrated, according to a new report from Brookings.

As Baker tells us, apprenticeships are the catalyst for opportunity. "For years, I kept telling myself that next semester I'd go back to school. MAPP opened the door for me to pursue my dream."

Paige Ponder is chief executive officer of One Million Degrees, a nonprofit providing support to community college students to help them succeed.

Tuning the circadian clock, boosting rhythms may be key to future treatments and medicines – Newswise

Newswise Irvine, CA February 11, 2021 Subconsciously, our bodies keep time for us through an ancient means the circadian clock. A new University of California, Irvine-led article reviews how the clock controls various aspects of homeostasis, and how organs coordinate their function over the course of a day.

What is fascinating is that nearly every cell that makes up our organs has its own clock, and thus timing is a crucial aspect of biology, said Kevin B. Koronowski, PhD, lead author and a postdoctoral fellow in Biological Chemistry at the UCI School of Medicine. Understanding how daily timing is integrated with function across organs has implications for human health, as disruption of the clock and circadian rhythms can be both a cause and effect of diseases from diabetes to cancer.

The circadian clock generates a ~24 hour rhythm that controls behavior, hormones, the immune system and metabolism. Using human cells and mice, researchers from the Paolo Sassone-Corsi Laboratory at UCI's Center for Epigenetics and Metabolism aim to uncover the physiological circuits, for example between the brain and liver, whereby biological clocks achieve coherence. Their work, titled, Communicating clocks shape circadian homeostasis, was published today in Science.

Circadian clocks align internal processes with external time, which enables diverse lifeforms to anticipate daily environmental changes such as the light-dark cycle. In complex organisms, clock function starts with the genetically encoded molecular clock or oscillator within each cell and builds upward anatomically into an organism-wide system. Circadian misalignment, often imposed in modern society, can disrupt this system and induce adverse effects on health if prolonged.

Strategies to tune our clocks and boost rhythms have been promising in pre-clinical studies, which illustrates the importance of unraveling this aspect of our biology and unlocking the potential it holds for treatments and medicines of the future, said Koronowski.

Without electrical light, high-speed travel, constant food availability and around the clock work-life schedules, our ancestors clocks were in constant harmony with the environment. However, due to these pressures of modern society, aligning our internal time with geophysical time has become a challenge in todays world. Chronic misalignment when eating and sleeping patterns conflict with the natural light-dark cycle is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, neurological conditions, and cancer. A large portion of the global workforce has atypical hours and may be particularly vulnerable.

It has become urgent that we uncover the molecular underpinnings of the relationship between the circadian clock and disease, explained Koronowski. Deciphering the means by which clocks communicate across metabolic organs has the potential to transform our understanding of metabolism, and it may hold therapeutic promise for innovative, noninvasive strategies to promote health.

This work is dedicated to the memory of Paolo Sassone-Corsi (19562020), a great scientist, mentor, and human. It was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, Novo Nordisk Foundation and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

4 Sneaky Tricks To Stay Hydrated *Without* Chugging Water, From A Functional MD – mindbodygreen.com

"A green smoothie a day is probably the most incredible thing you can do to hydrate yourself," Cohen remarks. That's because all those greens (spinach, kale, what have you) contain significant amounts of fiber, which helps you hold on to water much better. "The fiber is what really acts as a sponge," Cohen notes.

More hard data is needed, she adds, but her anecdotal evidence speaks volumes: In Cohen's practice, patients who incorporate a green smoothie into their daily regimen feel way more hydrated. "[I have] patients who say, 'I drink so much water all day but I can't quench my thirst.' And I have them add a green smoothie or two a day, and it changes everything," she recounts.

Cohen's own morning sip includes a handful of greens, half an apple ("an apple and a bottle of water is more hydrating than two bottles of water," she notes), some lemon, and a knob of ginger, but you can learn how to create your own concoction here.
