Several studies including this one from Frontiers in Human Neuroscience suggest there may be a positive impact on academic performance in school-aged children who eat breakfast, compared to those that do not. Therefore there is an argument to be made that eating breakfast confers cognitive benefit.

Small protein-rich, low sat fat, low calorie meals throughout the day leads to increased satiety, decreased cravings, and overall decreased calorie intake. That paired with an aerobic exercise program can lead to weight loss. Of course, if those small meals are full of unhealthy snacks which have high caloric content,…

Turkey contains Tryptophan which makes you sleepy.

It sounds like you might need to see an immunology specialist.

Have you seen an allergist?

With regards to Head Trauma., dizziness can mean many different symptoms. According to the the Mayo Clinic:

Thanks for further elaborating on your experience. However, with regards to letter B) The idea that your immune system is taxed because it is fighting one infection (which in the flu shot’s case, is not an infection, but a normal immune response to a foreign antigen), is simply false. Vaccines don’t weaken your immune…

Some patients I’ve seen are speaking from personal experience as you suggested and some are listening to the “grapevine”. Either way, patient education is key and often proves to counter false assumptions. Of course, there are always going to be patients who are so fixed on their false beliefs that no amount of…

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, I’m sure that was very difficult for you.. However, as Beth correctly pointed out in her article, it is scientifically impossible to contract the flu from the inactivated (dead) influenza vaccine. The reaction that you had to the shot is unfortunate, but not the norm. There are…

Why get pissed off. Those people might believe that because they are ignorant of the reality. It is their PCP’s job to educate them. Unfortunately, a lot of docs do not take the time to fully explain this to patients and make sure that they understand, so that this myth doesn’t get perpetuated. I’ve found that more…

From reading through a lot of these comments, it appears that herd immunity is far too underrated.

The bugs (bacteria) are not necessarily stronger persay, the one’s that are able to survive the antibacterial live, while the others die. Therefore they are said to be “resistant” to certain antibiotics. It’s not about strength necessarily, it is just that some bacteria have a natural resistance.

In the case of…

I like your explanation of antibacterials and the potential for resistance. Regarding your vaccine comment, I would like to add that not all vaccines are deactivated. A number of them, not including the influenza shot are live:

Your model is intriguing. However, you based the lost work days or feeling crummy at work days based on “guess from personal experience”. While that may be true for you, everyone’s immune system is different. Especially for people with other illnesses, like say diabetes. A disease which unfortunately affects ~29…

“All Health Insurance Marketplace plans and most other private insurance plans must cover the following list of vaccines without charging a copayment or coinsurance when provided by an in-network provider. This is true even for patients who have not met a yearly deductible.” - CDC

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htmExcellent article. I would add that if you get the flu shot and later contract the flu, due to the less than 100% effectiveness, the symptoms are likely to be less severe and much shorter, due to your body’s humoral (memory) immune response.

In addition, if you do experience…

Absolutely disgusted with the fact that this hack happened in 2014 and it is only after a leak that Yahoo was forced to announce this to its users. Good thing I stopped using Yahoo 10 years ago,

Awesome. It would be nice if Chase would let it’s customers know this, rather than posting misleading info on their activation page. NerdWallet claims that they verified with Chase that the promotion lasts through the end of 2016.

I would say that the dangers of high protein diet in people with healthy kidneys is overblown. You did mention this briefly, but I think people skimming this article may have miss the key point that these rules don’t apply to people with damaged kidneys. And, .with so many people with hypertension and diabetes which…

You could use WhatsApp since it is cross platform.
