Tidbits on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, Cholesterol, Massage Therapy, Incontinence

There were lots of tidbits of information in health care news this week that I wanted to draw your attention to:

1. Researchers found that healthy people who had just one night of short sleep can show signs of insulin resistance, a condition that often precedes Type diabetes
2. Having diabetes more than doubles the risk of developing certain types of colorectal cancer among women older than 55
3. Consuming more nuts appears to be associated with improvements in blood cholesterol levels
4. New research shows massage therapy reduces burned adolescents' pain, itching, & anxiety levels
5. Women who consume a lot of calories or favor saturated fat over "good" fats may have an increased risk of urinary incontinence, regardless of their body weight, a new study suggests.

To your health, 


Pamela
