Statistics show an increasing incidence of cancer that develops at the junction of the stomach and esophagus that is related to reflux, a condition in which food flows back into the esophagus from the stomach. This test will pick up pre-malignant as well as early cancerous changes, both of which respond very well to treatment. Fat around the abdomen may be a better predictor of disease than fat anywhere else.
Research shows it is at that point that health risks rise.
Babies with colic cry loudly and continuously without apparent cause. Dr. Robert Squires, associate professor of pediatrics at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, says reducing stress in the new parents may be just as important as fussing over the infant. Squires says high levels of stress in care givers may correlate with frequent crying in infants. He recommends that parents with colicky babies make a special point to take care of themselves, as well as the infant. Try donning boxing gloves.
