Recent scientific studies reveal that depression AND the chronic stress of modern life are causing measurable brain shrinkage. And this is leading us to lower IQ’s, brain fog and “senior moments” (like misplacing your keys or forgetting why you walked into a room). And it gets worse...
A recently discovered miracle protein can protect your brain from mental decline, and keep the mental sharpness and focus of a much younger self.
Dana from Woodstock, NY asks: Is it bad for your knees to run seven days a week on the sidewalk? Dr. Arun Ramappa, Orthopaedic Surgeon, explains. Video Rating: / 5
If you are a regular runner, no doubt someone at some point has said to you that running is bad for your knees. More than likely, it was a non-runner. But there is plenty of evidence to say that the benefits of running far outweigh the risks, and that includes the effect on your knees.
Running is certainly not for everyone, but it is one of the most popular exercise activities and has many associated health benefits. It is a simple, low cost form of exercise that requires little equipment other than a good quality pair of running shoes and appropriate clothing. It is time efficient, easily fitting into a busy schedule, and can be very liberating. Speak to an avid runner and they will likely tell you that life would not be worth living without it.
When people say that running is bad for your knees, they are generally referring to its potential role in the development of OA (osteoarthritis). Running is often considered a cause of knee OA, both by the public and some healthcare practitioners. For the keen runner, this might be a cause for concern. However, it might actually be the case that knee OA is more common in non-runners!

Always consult a health professional before starting a new exercise or fitness programme.
Please stop and consult a physiotherapist if these exercises cause you pain.
The nights are drawing in and the clocks will be going back soon and it’s that time of the year that as runners we all start reaching for our gloves, beanies and definitely our running headtorches. So we thought it would make sense to bring our awesome viewers a Run4Adventure running headtorch buying guide! With so many options available it can get pretty confusing, so we’ve put together a list of things to look out for when it comes to making that important headtorch purchase.
Hopefully this will stop you from making all the mistakes I made trying to find the right running headlamp for my needs.
Really hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching, we’ll see you in the next video and as always – stay safe and keep on running!

Over 36 million Americans practice yoga. Studies show it can improve flexibility, which in turn can help treat and prevent back pain. Yoga has also been shown to lower inflammation, which is linked to serious issues like cardiovascular disease and cancer. Studies also suggest it might reduce stress by interfering with your brain’s ability to release stress hormones.
Following is a transcript of the video:
Over 36 million Americans practice yoga, which really can have profound health effects on your body and brain. Studies show yoga can improve flexibility, which in turn can prevent and treat back pain. Not to mention, it lowers inflammation in the body, which has been linked to serious issues like cardiovascular disease. And like other forms of exercise, yoga may reduce stress.
This year is the year that you start doing yoga, and I mean for real this time. You’re going to join the 36 million-plus Americans who have taken up this beautiful practice, connecting yourself with a millennia-old tradition and helping you flush out those nasty toxins, or, you know, probably not.
Before you grab a mat, here’s what yoga really does to your body and brain. First of all, yoga comes in many, many different styles, but generally speaking, it involves some amount of stretching and meditation. Now, despite what you may have read, there’s no scientific evidence to support the idea that yoga will flush out toxins from your colon or anywhere else. But that doesn’t mean these techniques can’t help your body in many other ways.
Take back pain for instance. An estimated 80% of Americans will suffer from back pain at one point in their lives. But one study found that after just six to 12 yoga sessions, participants reported significantly less pain in their lower back. That’s because certain yoga poses stretch out your hamstrings, which, when they’re too tight, can yank on your hip flexors and strain your lower back. But the more you practice yoga, the more flexible your hamstrings get.
For example, in a 2015 study, women practiced a type of hatha yoga, which involves positions like downward dog and triangle pose. They practiced 90 minutes each week for around 16 weeks straight. And by the last week, they could reach four centimeters closer to their toes than before thanks to those loose hamstrings. Now, if you’re also meditating during those yoga sessions, the flexibility might not be the only benefit. After seven to 16 weeks of meditative activities, participants in one study saw a huge drop in C-reactive proteins in their blood. Those proteins are linked to inflammation, which, when you’re overly stressed, can kick into overdrive. And over time, that inflammation may contribute to serious illnesses like cardiovascular disease and cancer. That’s where yoga’s meditative qualities can help.
Researchers suspect that yoga may reduce stress by interfering with the central nervous system’s ability to release stress hormones. Plus, studies show that meditation-focused types of yoga, like yoga asana, boost levels of feel-good hormones like oxytocin in the brain. Plus, yoga is an exercise, and exercise in and of itself is a stress reliever. In fact, the US Department of Health and Human Services recommends two and a half to five hours a week of light to moderate exercise.
That can include workouts like yoga, brisk walking, or swimming. And to be fair, any amount of regular exercise is most likely going to reduce anxiety, elevate mood, and improve sleep and self-esteem. So while yoga might have an edge in the flexibility department and mindfulness department, there are plenty of other activities you can try to get fit. But as long as it gets you moving and maybe gives you some new friends, why not give it a try?

How to keep your heart rate low when running. In this video I want to share with you how I control my heart rate while I’m running. I’m currently doing lots of aerobic zone 2 running following a modified version of Dr. Phil Maffetone’s MAF heart rate training method. Lots of runners initially really struggle to keep their heart rate low enough to run in their aerobic training zone, but as your endurance improves, your new aerobic fitness will allow you to run faster at the same heart rate. Today’s video has some tips for how you can control your heart rate when you run, so you can run with a low heart rate.

Who names drugs? Why all the funny names? A number of months ago, we did an episode on how a drug comes to market with the help of out HCT intern, pharmD student Rachel Hoffman. She also helped us out with our episode on Flibanserin.
We get a lot of questions from you about drugs. What’s the difference between a generic and name brand drug? How do people feel about them? What’s the difference with biologics? With her help, we’re going to tackle those in the upcoming weeks.
Let’s start at the beginning. What’s in a name? That which we call a drug. By any other name would be so . . . effective? Brand name and generic drugs: are there any differences? Who regulates them? And what’s with all the names anyway? That’s the topic of today’s HealthCare Triage.

Xiidra. Zaltrap. Gilotrif. Taltz.
What those words have in common, other than sounding like minor “Star Wars” characters, is that each is the name of a marketed drug. And, as such, each has been through the fantastic voyage by which humble molecules get white-boarded, focus-grouped, and lawyered-up on the way to having their names (and bountiful side effects) read aloud on the TV commercials that dot your nightly news.
Here’s a look at the lengthy process that makes a Viagra out of a sildenafil, a Lunesta out of an eszopiclone, and a Taltz out of an ixekizumab. It involves scouring thesauri, arguing with the Food and Drug Administration, and, sometimes, crafting a cuddly spokescreature. Video Rating: / 5

Yoga is a commonly known generic term for the physical, mental, and spiritual practices. Originated in ancient India with a view to attain a state of permanent peace. There are many great reasons to add yoga to your exercise routine. Yoga improves muscle tone, flexibility and balance, and it helps you relax and reduce stress. Here are 10 simple basic yoga Poses for beginners.
Tadasana – Mountain Pose
Tadasana is a basic standing posture that is a great foundation for many asanas. It creates space in the spine allowing the body to work more efficiently and with more ease.
Vrikshasana – Tree Pose
Vrikshasana or tree pose is a wonderful pose that teaches balance while toning the muscles of the legs. This elegant pose is not as easy as it looks, but over time it builds tremendous inner and outer strength and a great feeling of accomplishment as you learn to balance on one leg.
Adho Mukha Svanasana – Downward Facing Dog
Adho Mukha Svanasana posture replicates a dog bending forward, hence the name downward facing dog pose. This asana can be practiced by any beginner too and with all its benefits, one should include it as a part of daily yoga practice. It is a standing pose and mild inversion that builds strength while stretching the whole body.
Trikonasana – Triangle Pose
Triangle Pose is a standing yoga pose that tones the legs, reduces stress, and increases stability. The word “Trikonasana” comes from the Sanskrit words “tri,” (meaning “three”), “kona”(meaning “angle”), and “asana” (meaning “pose”). It refers to the triangular shape created by your body in the full version of the pose. A deep stretch for the hamstrings, groins, and hips, Trikonasana also opens the chest and shoulders. It helps relieve lower back pain, stress, and sluggish digestion.
Virabhadrasana I – Warrior I Pose
Warrior 1 — Virabhadrasana 1 is a standing yoga pose named after a mythological Hindu warrior, Virabhadra. Virabhadrasana I stretches the whole front side of the body while strengthening the thighs, ankles, and back. This is a powerful standing pose that develops stamina, balance, and coordination. It tones the abdomen, ankles, and arches of the feet.
Virabhadrasana II – Warrior II Pose
Warrior 2 — Virabhadrasana II is a standing yoga pose named after a mythological Hindu warrior, Virabhadra. A powerful stretch for the legs, groins, and chest, Virabhadrasana II also increases stamina. It helps to relieve backaches, and stimulates healthy digestion. This is a deep hip-opening pose that strengthens the muscles in the thighs and buttocks. It tones the abdomen, ankles, and arches of the feet.
Phalakasana – Plank Pose
Plank is a truly foundational pose. It teaches you to hold yourself together like a sturdy wooden plank—giving you the power you need for complex poses and the grace to glide with ease through transitions between poses. Plank will build your abdominal strength; you might even find yourself shaking as you practice it. It can strengthen your arms and keep your wrists supple and healthy.
Cat-Cow Pose
Cat-Cow is a gentle sequence of two poses that stretches the spine and prepares the body for activity. A wonderful way to start off any yoga practice is with a round Cat Pose to Cow Pose.
Bhujangasana – Cobra Pose
The name comes from the Sanskrit words bhujanga meaning “snake” or “serpent” and asana (???) meaning “posture” or “seat”. From a prone position with palms and legs on the floor, the chest is lifted. Bhujangasana may strengthen the spine, stretch the chest, shoulders, and abdomen, firm the buttocks, and relieve stress and fatigue. Traditional texts say that Bhujangasana increases body heat, destroys disease, and awakens kundalini.
Utkatasana – Chair pose
Chair Pose — Utkatasana is a standing yoga posture that tones the entire body, particularly the thighs! The positioning of this asana is just like sitting on a chair except that you need to balance yourself without the use of a chair. This asana increases strength, balance and stability.
