New study indicates tomatoes help with gut health
Life, Published on 20/12/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: I was happy when I saw on the news that tomatoes help your gut microbiome. I love tomatoes, but my wife keeps them out of our diet. She says they're a nightshade plant and thinks they make arthritis worse. I'd like to know more about this new pro-tomato research.
Best way to help gut microbiome is to eat healthful diet
Life, Published on 06/12/2022
» Dear Doctors: It seems like every new health discovery is connected to the gut microbiome these days. I'm 68 years old, and this is new to me. I understand about probiotics, and I even take one, but now I'm seeing ads for prebiotics and postbiotics. What are they? Do I need to take them?
Time of day may make small difference in workout results, study says
Life, Published on 29/11/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: I'm a 33-year-old woman in good health. The problem is that I got into some bad habits during the pandemic and gained weight. I'm back on track with diet, and now I am adding exercise. I remember reading that the time of day that women exercise makes a difference. Is that true?
Ruptured Achilles tendon will take time to heal
Life, Published on 22/11/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: I'm a 30-year-old man, and I play weekend volleyball. Last month, I jumped to spike the ball and heard a pop. There was a lot of pain; it felt like getting kicked in the calf. It was a torn Achilles tendon, and now I'm in a cast and on crutches. How else can this be treated? How long will it take to heal?
Eating earlier may curb some cravings
Life, Published on 08/11/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: I heard on the news about a study that says you won't get as hungry if you eat all of your meals earlier in the day. Does that have to do with the way the body clock works? It seems like circadian rhythms affect everything we do. Can you talk about that, and about this study?
Junk food is engineered to taste good, not satisfy
Life, Published on 25/10/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: Can you please talk about what makes something count as "junk food"? My diet has been less than stellar during the pandemic, and not only did I gain weight, but I just got the news that I have prediabetes. Specifics about how those kinds of food are bad for your health would help a lot.
Cardiovascular disease looks different in women than men
Life, Published on 04/10/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: I'm a 38-year-old woman in good health. I kept getting a tight chest while running, so my doctor did some tests. He said my heart looked fine. But when I went for a second opinion, I was diagnosed with microvascular disease. I've never even heard of that before. What is it?
Study links drinking carbonated water and weight gain
Life, Published on 27/09/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: As part of a reducing diet, we like to drink plain carbonated water. There's no sugar in it, no additives and no sweeteners. But apparently there is a new study that says carbonated water leads to weight gain? Why would that be? Should we give it up?
Does mum have dementia or depression?
Life, Published on 20/09/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: After our dad died, we realised our mum has some memory problems. Now she's having angry outbursts, which is new. It may be depression, but my brothers and I worry about dementia. We suspect it's been happening for a while and she was hiding it. How do we know which it is?
