Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Lower-fat diet reduces women’s risk of dying from breast cancer, study says

Lower-fat diet reduces women’s risk of dying from breast cancer, study says | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
Women who followed a lower-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables and grains had a lower risk of dying of breast cancer than those on a higher-fat diet, according to the results of major study released Wednesday.

The conclusions, from the latest analysis of the federally funded Women’s Health Initiative, provide the first randomized clinical-trial evidence that diet can reduce postmenopausal women’s risk of dying of breast cancer, the researchers said. Past observational studies, which do not measure cause and effect, have had inconsistent findings.

Can Protein Powders Help Aging Muscles?

Can Protein Powders Help Aging Muscles? | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
Older adults typically need more protein than younger people. Here’s how to ensure you’re getting enough.
Peter Mellow's insight:
"The standard healthy adult who is eating a healthy diet does not need a protein supplement,” Ms. Dodd said. “But if they can’t get their protein needs through food, then that’s when supplements can be helpful.”

“The take-home message for people 65 and up is that you should make sure you consume enough protein and, number two, be active,” Dr. Willis said. “Being sedentary seems to promote sarcopenia more than anything else.”
