Look down, are your feet purple or white? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Raynaud's Disease is a common condition that leads to discoloration of the hands or feet. This happens when blood vessels are constricted due to temporary spasm. People with Raynaud's may also experience pain, numbness, or tingling in the extremities. These attacks are usually caused by cold weather, stress, or anxiety and are usually short lived. Although most cases are mild, the doctor may need to prescribe medicine to help with the symptoms. Raynaud's Disease can also be a symptom of Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis. So, it's important to talk to your doctor if you're experiencing symptoms of Raynaud's.

Touch is one of the most powerful senses a person has. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. According to a new study published in Psychological Science, touch may be more powerful than originally thought. The study suggests that touch is more helpful than sight in creating memories. In the study, participants were blindfolded and asked to touch ten different objects. They were then tested to see if they could remember the objects. They were given two objects and had to distinguish which was one was the original. 94% of the participants were able to identify the object while blindfolded. This number dropped below 75% after the blindfolds were taken off. If you are looking to make lasting memories, try incorporating the power of touch.

It's time for another mental health check. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Suicide rates are on the rise. The World Health Organization estimates that over 800,000 people commit suicide yearly. It is also the second leading cause of death in people ages 15 to 29. New research out of University of Utah suggests that genetics may play a role in suicide risk. Researchers were able to examine the genetics of 1,300 DNA samples of people who lost their lives to suicide. Using this information, they were able to localize four genetic variants and 207 genes that influenced their risk. This research could pave the way for better treatment options for suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Talk to your doctor if you or a loved one are battling suicidal thoughts.

Is your personality killing you? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Our personalities are constantly changing as we face different life events. Did you know your personality plays a role in your longevity? The University of Rochester Medical Center, the American Institute for Research in DC, and the University of Illinois decided to dig a little deeper. They gathered information from over 1,200 US high schools from 1960 and looked for links between certain personality traits and the overall lifespan of those individuals. Researchers used personality tests to gather their data. They found that teenagers who scored high on calmness, empathy, curiosity, tidiness, and maturity and lower in impulsivity had a decreased risk of all-cause death later in life. So, when you tell your child you "lose the tude", you may be helping them live longer.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is about finding a new way to handle your stress. Stress is real and sometimes it's unavoidable. How you handle that stress is the difference between good health and bad health. In order to stay healthy, you need to have good outlets. Things like journaling before bed, exercising in the morning and evening, and adequate sleep will all help your body recover when it's on overload. Don't flip on the television, specifically the news, and think that will help you calm down. Instead, it will have the opposite effect. We all have only so much mental bandwidth. Use yours wisely. When you feel yourself getting stress, acknowledge it and take steps to burn the excess energy off. Don't be afraid to turn on the radio and sing along to your favorite song at the top of your lungs, or take up kickboxing when the stress is really high.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is about improving your hydration. Over 60 percent of the body is made up of water. And your brain composition is 80% water. If you're feeling fatigued or have a slight headache, you may need more water. Because so much of your brain is water, a lack of water can cause you to forget things or lose your train of thought. The rest of your body may feel crampy or achy. And even though you know you need to drink more water – you may find it hard to keep up with. Here's some tips. If you're a bottle water drinker, set out the number of bottles you need to consume per day. You can calculate your ideal intake by taking the number of your weight and cutting that in half. For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, you need 100 ounces. Having the water set out ahead of time will keep you on track. Don't like plain water? Add some fruit or cucumbers to it. However you get it in, just get it in. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, your leader in concierge medicine and age management.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is about the foods you need to improve your cognitive function and overall mood. Are you tired of feeling grumpy and foggy headed? It may be what you're eating or what you're not eating. Set a goal to eat cold water fish, like salmon, twice a week. Also, avoid packaged and processed foods like chips and crackers. Even the ones that claim to be healthy really aren't – it's simply a marketing ploy. Instead, opt for berries for a snack, like blueberries or blackberries. They'll help boost your brain power and improve your mood. Small changes like this can make a big impact on your day. When you feel better and smarter, relationships and job performance will improve.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Today's tip is all about exercise. You don't have to join a gym or spend a bunch of money. The key is to just start moving more. Yoga or other low impact exercises can be done at home with a DVD or through videos on your computer or phone. Even just walking around the block every evening will yield great benefits. Even the researchers at University of California – Irvine agree that it doesn't have to be much. A new study they conducted showed that even 10 minutes of exercise per day can improve your brain function. Look at that – you can improve your physical body as well as your mental capacity through small and easy steps. Really, there's no excuse. The key to this goal is to be specific. Don't just say you want to exercise more. Instead, come up with something measureable like walking 10,000 steps per day or doing 30 minutes of yoga three times a week.

This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. This entire week we're focusing on health tips for the New Year. Let's start with clearing out the clutter. Don't wait for Spring time, start now. Even if you only do a little bit every day, eventually your decluttering will have a significant impact on your mental and physical health. My suggestion is to get three boxes and line them up side by side. Mark them with "Keep" "Throw Away" and "Donate". This will keep you from running back and forth from place to place. Once you are done filling the boxes, you're done for the day. Take the "throw away" items to the trash. Drop off the "donate" and put the "keep" items in their rightful place. Repeat each day until you're done. But don't be too quick to say out with the old and in with the new. Instead, resist the urge to fill your space back up with more stuff.
