Versatile, healthful — and pricey; learn to treat swordfish right Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Swordfish is among the meatiest of all seafood. Its nutritional profile isn't all that different from sirloin, except it has something beef doesn't: more than a gram per serving of treasured, heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. And thanks to smart fishery management, the stock of Atlantic swordfish so decimated in the 1990s has been rebuilt, to the point where it is considered an environmentally friendly dining choice. But it's not cheap.

Short, intense workouts gain in popularity Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Julie Ennis did not look like she was having fun. As she pushed at the weight machines, it was clear from her grimaces and groans that her muscles were working a lot harder than they felt like working. Standing by with a clipboard and offering encouragement was Brandon Jonker, a personal trainer at Discover Strength in Minneapolis. Aided by Jonker's supportive patter, countdowns and the occasional helpful push, Ennis worked each weight until she appeared to reach the point that fitness authorities typically advise people to aim for: the point at which Ennis would feel that if she summoned all her strength, she couldn't possibly do one more rep.

Establish safety rules for child home alone Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
By the age of 11, some children can stay home alone safely for up to a few hours. Every child matures at a different rate, so it's not just age that matters in making your decision. To stay alone safely at home, your child must be mature enough to handle any potential emergency or stressful situation that may arise.

Child life specialists minimize stress on kids undergoing treatment Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Jade Tukan is an inquisitive 2-year-old with bright eyes and a confident smile, but her life was terribly disrupted when she was given a diagnosis of a deadly cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, in January. As her family focused on her medical care, it was sometimes hard to remember that Jade still wanted to play, even while hooked up to a chemotherapy drip. That's where child life specialist Liz Anderson came in.

Doctors’ workloads can jeopardize patients at risk Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Almost half of hospital doctors said they routinely see more patients than they can safely manage, leading in some cases to unneeded tests, medication errors and deaths, according to a survey by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. Seven percent of 506 hospital-based physicians surveyed said their heavy workload likely led to a patient complication, and 5 percent reported it probably caused a death over the past year. The findings are published in a research letter released Monday by JAMA Internal Medicine.

Flu affected by changing weather patterns Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Government epidemiologists insist that many things go into making a flu season nasty or mild, early or late. But a great deal of accumulating research points a feverish finger at long-term weather patterns influencing both the timing and severity of flu season.

They may live longer, but baby boomers more sick Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Baby boomers have more chronic illness and disability than their parents even as modern medicine allows them to live longer, researchers found. Baby boomers, the 78 million Americans born from 1946 through 1964, engage in less physical activity, are more overweight and have higher rates of hypertension and high cholesterol, according to a study released in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Gene shows who will have early hearing losses Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
So, maybe there were a few loud concerts over the years. You've always loved big fireworks shows. And you don't always protect your ears when using the leaf blower. But you're just in your 40s or 50s, way too young for significant hearing loss. Still, conversations are getting harder to follow and you feel awkward asking people to keep repeating themselves. What's going on? Researchers at the University of South Florida's Global Center for Hearing & Speech Research have identified a gene — known as GRM7 — responsible for age-related hearing loss that is more severe and occurs earlier than expected.

The potager garden grows food, flowers, herbs Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Romans were major gardeners in a time when most cultures were still hunting and gathering. But when the Roman Empire declined, much of Rome's agricultural development vanished. All that remained of it were ruins of villas in formerly conquered lands. The Roman home was a series of rooms that enclosed a central courtyard. Often this was divided into four equal spaces with a well or fountain at the center.

Important for parents, caregivers to have immunizations Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Parental flu shot recommendations are not new and for quite a few years flu shots have been advised for all individuals 6 months of age and up. Flu hits the very young very hard, with infected children younger than 2 years of age facing higher rates of severe flu-related complications. Vaccination makes it less likely that parents will bring influenza home from work and other public gatherings, keeping infants healthier.

Getting healthy a huge motivation, even if it means no grilled cheeseFeb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
The first time anyone asked me about taking part in the Daily Herald's Fittest Loser was last fall, and it was great timing. I had just been to a memorial service for a woman who'd died after a long illness. She wasn't all that much older than me, which obviously got me thinking about my own health and mortality.
