  • Which foods may increase, and which may lower bowel cancer risk?

    Colorectal cancer is a common cancer type that can lead to poor health outcomes. Research is ongoing about risk factors for colorectal cancer and what people can do to decrease risk. Data from a recent study found that consuming higher amounts of white bread and alcohol was associated with an increased risk for colorectal cancer.

Cancer comes in several types that experts still do not fully understand. While cancer research has come a long way, it is still not always clear why some people develop specific types of cancer. ....

  • Is My Student Athlete's Pain More Than Just Growing Pains?

    There are a few factors that can make student athletes prone to injury. They might be overusing their muscles (thanks to a more rigorous exercise regimen), and they might not yet have developed the proper technique for their sport. “These factors, combined with the fact that student athletes have growing bodies that they’re still getting used to—especially after a growth spurt — can make them more prone to injury,” says Nancy White, M.D., a sports medicine physician with Henry Ford Health System.

  • INSIDE INFO - What does your poo say about you?

    Poo. We don’t usually talk about it, but it is an important indicator of health that can give you insight into what is going on inside your body. If this system is off track, other systems in your body may be, too. What is normal? To be able to pick up on the clues your poo is giving you about your health, you have to know how it looks at its healthiest.

  • When kids specialize in a sport, remember these training principles

    For young athletes who specialize in playing a single sport, a higher risk of injuries is a serious concern. In one 2015 study focused on 1,190 athletes ages 7 to 18, sports-specialized training was shown to be an independent risk factor for injury. In another study, looking at 546 athletes from Kentucky, specialized female basketball, soccer and volleyball players had a 50 percent higher chance of overuse knee pain. And it’s not just physical, early specialization is also associated with psychological burnout. Despite all this, up to 30 percent of youth athletes today play a single sport to the exclusion of others. “While sport specialization has its well-documented ....
