Investigators Prescribe Caution With Vitamin D Supplementation
In recent years, healthy people have been bombarded by stories in the media and on health websites warning about the dangers of too-low vitamin D levels, and urging high doses of supplements to protect against everything from hypertension to hardening of the arteries to diabetes.
But new research from Johns Hopkins finds that blood levels of the so-called "sunshine vitamin" higher than the top of the range suggested by the Institute of Medicine confer no additional benefit. This finding, combined with results of a previous study by the same group noting potential harm from higher vitamin D levels in healthy people, has urged investigators to prescribe caution.

Only 20% Of U.S. Adults Get Enough Exercise
Only 20% of adults in the U.S. are getting the recommended amount of exercise, according to a new report by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
The research showed that one in five American adults is meeting both the aerobic and muscle-strengthening components of the physical activity guidelines issued by the federal government.

Exercise May Prevent Alcohol From Damaging The Brain
Aerobic exercise can help prevent and even reverse some brain damage linked to high alcohol intake, according to new research carried out at the University of Colorado Boulder.
The finding, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, suggests that routine aerobic exercise such as running, bicycling, and walking may help reduce the damage to the brain's "white matter" among people who drink alcohol excessively.
