It’s a known fact that taking a warm bath or shower before bed can help you sleep better at night. But, does the time of night matter? Surprisingly, a time frame has never been established, until now. Researchers out of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin set out to find the perfect time to bathe before bed. They did this by searching through over 5,300 different studies. They found that bathing 1-2 hours before bed is the ideal for better sleep. So, if you’re having trouble sleeping, draw up a nice warm bath. Just make sure you’re out at least an hour before you plan on going to sleep.

Are you trying to prevent heart disease by taking low dose aspirin? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research out of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School suggests that taking low-dose aspirin, or “baby aspirin”, once a day can do more harm than good—if a doctor hasn’t told you to take it. It’s estimated that around 6.6 million people in the US are taking low-dose aspirin—even though they haven’t been advised to do so. Numerous studies have found that the risk for internal bleeding outweighs the benefits of taking aspirin to prevent heart disease. Now, if you have been advised to take low-dose aspirin by your doctor, continue to take it. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about preventing heart disease.

Chan School of Public Health found that consuming plant-based foods can lowers the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. They decrease the risk for type 2 diabetes by improving both blood pressure and insulin sensitivity. Plant-based foods can also help with weight management and decrease inflammation throughout the body. So, what are you waiting for?

Is the paleo diet actually good for you? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research out of four different research institutions in Australia suggest the paleo diet may be doing more harm than good. They found that people following the diet had higher levels of trimethylamine N-oxide, a compound found in the gut that increases risk for heart disease. One of the paleo diet’s ‘claims to fame’ was that it aided in gut health. While it may help with some areas, it’s not helping the heart. The diet eliminates whole grains, which are known to aid in heart health. The researchers believe that the lack of consumption of these grains led to a change in the gut bacteria, increasing levels of trimethylamine N-oxide. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about the paleo diet. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Do you like your food spicy? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Spicy foods are found everywhere, and more and more restaurants are developing different spicy food challenges. But is it good for you? New research out of Qatar University found a link between chili pepper consumption and dementia. The study showed that people who consumed over 50mg of chili per day were twice as likely to develop dementia. What makes this study so interesting is that as we age, so do our taste buds—so we can’t taste foods as well as we used to. Often, when this happens, people resort to adding more flavor through spice. Increasing the risk for someone who may already be at risk for developing dementia.
