The Surprising Early Sign of Alzheimer’s: Changes in Dietary Habits
The Impact of Dietary Preferences on Alzheimer’s Disease
An Unusual Symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease
Memory problems are commonly associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, one early sign that often goes unnoticed is a change in dietary preferences.
Dr. Elana Clar, a neurologist at New Jersey Brain & Spine, explains how individuals with Alzheimer’s may start consuming food that is contradictory to their previous dietary habits. “A vegetarian may suddenly develop a craving for steak because they forgot about their vegetarianism, or they may unconsciously add more salt and spice to their meals due to diminished taste buds,” says Dr. Clar.
Possible Reasons for Altered Eating Habits in Alzheimer’s Patients
The alteration in dietary preferences among those with Alzheimer’s can be attributed to several factors. Research suggests that individuals diagnosed with the condition often struggle to detect umami, one of the five basic tastes associated with savory food. Moreover, many people experiencing dementia encounter a decline in their overall sense of smell and taste, causing them to favor strongly flavored foods.
In addition, forgetfulness plays a role i

Combatting Urban Heat Stress: Tips for Home, Garden, Balcony, and Street
During a heat wave, the heat stays longer in urban areas. More greenery and more shade helps keep it a little cooler in and around the house. What can you do yourself and what can you do together with your neighbors to combat that kind of heat stress in the city? We give tips for home, garden, balcony and street.
Heat stress is caused by buildings and roads absorbing the sun’s heat during the day. During the night they radiate that heat again, keeping the air warm after sunset. Besides, there is less wind in the city because there are more tall buildings. The hot air literally lingers. This is also known as the heat island effect. In extreme cases, the difference between the city and the countryside can be as much as 7 or 8 degrees. This can be clearly felt when cycling or walking out of the buildings on the edge of the city.
What can the government do against heat stress?
A city with lots of greenery suffers less heat stress. So it helps to create more parks and flower beds, install green roofs on bus shelters and other buildings and plant more trees. Trees provide shade and because they have deep roots, they are better able to draw water from the ground and evaporate it. That also provides cooling.
Landscaping in public spaces is the responsibility of the municipality, but as local residents you can of course ask for more trees and other greenery on the street. There are municipalities that are happy to serve active residents with good ideas. Sometimes this creates neighborhood gardens that the residents tend themselves.
What can you do yourself against heat stress?

Disturbing Trend: New Cancer Cases Among Young People Increase Sharply, Says Recent Study
Introduction
In a troubling global trend, the incidence of new cancer cases among young people has been rising significantly. Early-onset cancers, defined as cancer cases diagnosed in individuals under the age of 50, have increased worldwide by a staggering 79%. The United States has also witnessed a shifting demographic of cancer patients, with a notable increase in people under the age of 50. These alarming statistics beg the question – why are young people getting cancer at higher rates, and what preventive measures should they consider? To shed light on this issue, CNN spoke with renowned wellness expert, Dr. Leana Wen.
The Deadliest Cancers in Younger People
CNN: What are the deadliest cancers in younger people?
Dr. Leana Wen: The most fatal and burdening early-onset cancers globally are breast cancer, tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer, and stomach and colorectal cancers, according to a study published in the journal BMJ Oncology. These statistics are consistent with the leading causes of cancer deaths in the United States, where lung cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer top the list.

why controlling your weight during pregnancy is so important
2024-04-17 14:55:07
“Now you have to eat for two” Many pregnant women have already heard this phrase. Why, then, not also sleep or walk for two? This idea, “eating for two” when expecting a baby, is culturally well anchored in our society. However, this is a myth, the result of erroneous beliefs about the fact that weight gain during pregnancy is good for your health.
Sometimes, during this period, women relax their eating habits. Since they are going to gain weight anyway, they think they can afford to eat whatever they want. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The implications for the mother and her future baby
Pregnant women may not be fully aware of the implications of their eating behaviors on their baby’s future. However, during each prenatal consultation, they are asked to step on the scale. Why are health professionals so concerned about the number of pounds they “carry”?
This responds to the need to detect inadequate weight gain during pregnancy, and to prevent the consequences for the mother and her child. You should know that a deficit such as excess weight during pregnancy can lead to gestational diabetes or hypertension, in the case of the mother, and macrosomia (birth with a weight greater than that recommended), in the case of the future baby. These health problems can cause complic
