Medical Musings

Here are some interesting musings from medicine this month:


(1) Exercise can calm anxiety!
-->The Bottom Line: Long term exercise promotes growth of certain neurons that aid in stress response.

(2) You're much better off getting calcium from your diet than taking supplements. Try some kale and broccoli today!

(3) If you needed more evidence on why you should wear sunscreen.
-->It's preventative for wrinkles
-->And just as important if you are young. Skin cancer rises in younger women.

(4) Parents: by teaching your children to wear sunscreen you are saving their lives.
Here is some additional info:
Rules and picking sunscreen: Broad spectrum, spf between 15-50. Avoid ingredients like retinol and oxybenzone. Opt for fragrance-free and don't do sprays!

The updated FDA regulations on sunscreen.

Good Info from Mayo Clinic

Info about spf in makeup

(5) The rising costs of medical care should be a contested moral dilemma
