(HealthDay News) -- While the best way to prevent the spread of germs is still good old-fashioned soap and water, antibacterial hand sanitizers are an easy way to practice good hygiene when there's no sink nearby.

For best use of the product, follow its directions carefully, says the Health Services Department at Great Basin College. Apply the product liberally to your entire hand -- front and back -- and rub your hands together until the solution has dried.

If you can see dirt on your hands, however, you should still wash with soap and water, the department says.

Health Tip: Saturated Fats vs. Unsaturated Fats

December 12, 2006 03:55:45 PM PST

(HealthDay News) -- While it is necessary and healthy to have some fat in the diet, too much dietary fat can lead to obesity and other conditions like heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Saturated fats contribute to higher levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, says the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and should be avoided in large amounts. Foods that are typically high in saturated fat include animal products like butter, cheese, whole milk, ice cream, and fat-laden meats. Some vegetable oils -- such as those from coconut, palm, and palm kernel -- are also high in saturated fats.

Unsaturated fats can actually lower levels of LDL cholesterol, so they are a good alternative to saturated fats. But even unsaturated fats are still high in calories, so excessive amounts in the diet should be avoided. Foods that are a good source of unsaturated fats include olives and olive oil, peanuts, and avocados.

Height Loss in Older Men Tied to Heart, Death Risks

December 12, 2006 03:55:45 PM PST

TUESDAY, Dec. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Men who grow significantly shorter as they age are at increased risk for heart disease and death, a new British study says.

The 20-year study of 4,213 men -- who were 60 to 79 years old when the study ended -- found that those who'd lost 3 centimeters or more of height were about 64 percent more likely to die and also more likely to suffer coronary heart diseases events than men who lost less than 1 centimeter of height.

The findings were published Dec. 11 in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

Cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and other non-cancer diseases accounted for most of the additional deaths in the men who lost 3 centimeters or more of height.

The reasons for the association between height loss and increased risk of illness and death aren't clear, said the researchers from the Royal Free and University College Medical School in London. It's possible there could be an underlying mechanism that contributes to both bone loss, which results in height loss, and heart disease and other illnesses, the researchers said.

Many men and women become shorter as they age, due to changes in bone, muscles and joints. A small amount of height loss is normal, but more significant height loss may be a sign of osteoporosis. Major height loss can cause problems with breathing and digestion, resulting in poor eating habits and weight loss, according to background information in the article.
