Health Tip: Reduce Your Chances of Colon Cancer

November 22, 2006 03:58:07 PM PST

(HealthDay News) -- Though the exact causes of colon cancer aren't fully understood, the disease is very treatable if detected early. Here are a few ways to help prevent the disease, according to the American Cancer Society:

• Get regular colonoscopies to check for polyps or tumors, especially if you're over 50 or if a family member has had colon cancer.
• Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fat.
• Get at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.
• Talk to your doctor about folic acid or folate supplements, which may help prevent colon cancer.

Staying Trim on Turkey Day

November 22, 2006 03:58:07 PM PST

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- With Thanksgiving tables expected to be laden with an abundance of food, overeating and weight gain are tough to avoid during the holiday.

But Kathy McManus, director of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital, offers some advice for a healthier holiday feast.

• Ask guests ahead of time if they have any food allergies or dietary restrictions. Include a few dishes that suit multiple diets, such as steamed vegetables flavored with herbs.
• Experiment with recipe substitutions.
• Eat a satisfying meal before you start preparing the Thanksgiving meal in order to control your munching while you cook.
• Don't serve high-fat, high-calorie appetizers, such as dips or cheeses. Instead, serve fresh vegetables and sliced fruit.
• Skin the fat off refrigerated gravy or broth before you use it.
• Limit desserts to one or two choices and provide guests with a lower-fat, lower-calorie option.
• Plan a post-Thanksgiving stroll with your family and guests.

For guests:

• Exercise and eat healthy before Thanksgiving.
• If you have a special dietary need, offer to bring a health dish to share with the hosts and other guests.
• Eat a fiber-rich snack before the Thanksgiving meal to help prevent you from eating too much or too fast. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated.
• Make wise choices when you're loading your plate. Take only small amounts of foods with saturated fat and high calorie content. Divide your plate into sections: half vegetables, a quarter lean protein and a quarter starch.
• Beware of "hidden" calories in alcoholic beverages and sugary mixed drinks.
• Limit yourself to a small serving of dessert.
• Eat slowly and stop before you're full. It takes about 20 minutes before your body registers that it's full.

Zinc a Key Player in Neuron Transmissions

November 22, 2006 03:58:07 PM PST

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Zinc plays an important role in the transmission of signals between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord, a new European study says.

Researchers bred mice with a mutation that affected a zinc receptor in neurons and found that the mice had tremors, altered transmission of visual signals, and were slower to right themselves when turned over than normal mice. The mutated mice also had an enhanced startle response to sudden noise.

Further investigation revealed that the mice had significant zinc-related abnormalities in the transmission of signals at the synapses (connections) among neurons, the study said.

For about 50 years, scientists have been trying to prove that zinc plays a role in neuronal signaling. The study, published in the Nov. 22 issue of the journal Neuron, appears to provide evidence of the importance of zinc in that process.

"The data presented in our paper disclose a pivotal role of ambient synaptic (zinc ion) for glycinergic neurotransmission in the context of normal animal behavior," the study authors wrote.
