Green Tea Great for Smokers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smoking isn’t a healthy habit, duh. However, drinking green tea could help protect smokers<\/a> from lung cancer. According to a new hospital-based, randomized study conducted in Taiwan, people (whether they smoke or not) who don’t drink green tea have a 5.6% increased risk of lung cancer when compared to people who have at least one cup of green tea each day. For smokers, not drinking green tea<\/a> carried a 12% increased risk of lung cancer. The research was recently presented at a conference of the American Association for Cancer Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Running Shoes May Be Doing to You<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running is good for your heart, but the typical running shoe could be harming your hips, knees and ankles. Researchers found that running shoes exert more stress on the hip, knee and ankle joints than you’d get from running barefoot or walking in high-heeled shoes! Researchers noted that the typical construction of current running shoes allows for good support of the foot, but they cause increased stress on each of the three lower extremity joints. They blame the increased stress on the running shoe’s elevated heel and increased material under the medial arch. Get the full details of this study at PM&R<\/a>: The Effect of Running Shoes on Lower Extremity Joint Torques<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
