In Combat Sports Dehydration Can Be A Problem
Athletes in combat sports often try to shed body weight in order to compete against lighter and smaller opponents. A new doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, points to the human body's limited ability to quickly recover following extensive short-term weight loss. Almost half of the studied athletes were severely dehydrated on the morning of their matches. Nevertheless, the athletes seem to focus on the mental advantages of the method.

Grapes Activate Genes Responsible For Antioxidant Defense In The Heart
study appearing in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistryš demonstrates that grapes are able to reduce heart failure associated with chronic high blood pressure (hypertension) by increasing the activity of several genes responsible for antioxidant defense in the heart tissue. Grapes are a known natural source of antioxidants and other polyphenols, which researchers believe to be responsible for the beneficial effects observed with grape consumption.

Young Athletes Not Reporting Concussions
Many young athletes think it is okay to play with a concussion, even though they know it puts them at risk of serious harm, according to a new U.S. study.
The research was conducted by a team from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and is set to be presented Monday, May 6, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Washington, DC.
