One sausage per day increases cancer risk
If you enjoy eating ham, bacon, hot dogs or sausages on a daily basis then you may want to consider cutting back. A new study is claiming that 50 grams of processed meat per day can raise the chances of developing bowel cancer. Under their assessment, "processed" means any kind of meat preserved by chemical additives, for example.Representatives of the World Cancer Research Fund suggest that the safest level of consumption for this type of food is none at all. As far as other cancers are concerned, they don't think there's much of a connection.
Bowel cancer is a big deal over in the UK with it being the third most common type of case. What about red meat though? Well that's considered best in moderation, with researchers suggesting 500 grams or less per week. But it might be harder for some people than others to eliminate processed meat from their nutrition altogether.
Parenting is not easy. Even the best of moms deal with tantrums from toddlers. But would you believe a statistic that says mothers and their young children argue upwards of 20 to 25 times an hour?
It's not easy sitting at home and preparing every single meal of the week. Even the people who love to handle their own food may find a day that demands eating out. But where to go? There are so many flawed menus in the food industry that it makes choosing a healthy establishment feel like playing the lottery.

It's a fact: most kids love sugar. Candy could be a food group all by itself for young children and teens, which goes a long way in explaining why certain
For people with potentially fatal food allergies, every day brings with it a challenge to watch what they eat (or come in contact with). More kids seem to developing peanut allergies for example. In the past half-decade, cases of this nut reaction have risen 35 percent. But there's hope that these allergies can be lessened through
Compulsive text messaging, urges to get online and surf the web, cravings to play video games... What do all of these activities have in common? They're practices people do on the Internet, and one doctor says psychiatrists should recognize it as
Just when you thought companies would start producing more natural, organic products as a result of widespread distaste for excessive additives, news comes out that certain "organic" brands actually contain a dangerous carcinogen. Dioxane is a chemical byproduct of a method used by companies to make harsh products feel more soft.
You've heard the news and seen the headlines. Apparently us Americans are walking zombies getting less and less sleep every year. This is what organizations such as The Sleep Foundation will lead you to believe. But
For the parents out there: do your children spend a lot of time in front of a screen most of the day? If you have teenagers (or happen to be one) then "screen time" is another term for "hobby." I played sports as a kid, but even back then I tried to absorb video games and TV like a sponge. Well
If someone told you that desks (like the one you're probably using right now) have more germs and bugs than bathrooms... would you believe it? I wouldn't have fallen for it before

Chronic pain is something that millions of people deal with every day of their lives.
Given a choice, many of us would probably rather live by the snooze button than drag ourselves out of bed every morning. Starting the day fresh and fully awake is hard! People consume coffee by the gallons just to try and get it kicking. But getting a routine down for waking up refreshed isn't as hard as it seems (especially on Mondays).
Like many people, I wasn't aware that fish were less prone to developing cancer than land-dwelling organisms such as ourselves. But it turns out that after 400 million years, these critters under the sea have grown to avoid the disease with a nearly perfect track record.
