Mental Attitude: Happiness Can Spread Through the Smell of Sweat. Is it possible to smell happiness in the sweat of others?
According to a new report, the answer is yes, and it may be contagious. The study found that when humans experience happiness, their
sweat contains chemical compounds called "chemosignals," which can be detected by the olfactory systems of those nearby. When
study participants were exposed to the sweat of individuals in a happy state, they exhibited behaviors and expressions indicative of
happiness that were not present when they smelled the sweat of those who were not in a happy state.

Health Alert: Chemicals in E-Cigarettes May Exceed Recommended Limits. Experts from the United States Flavor Extracts
Manufacturers Association are concerned that some chemicals used to flavor the vapor from electronic cigarettes may exceed limits
considered safe for inhaling. They are calling for new regulations on e-cigarettes as they would like to see mandatory listing of
ingredients and limits on the levels of certain flavorings. Tobacco Control, April 2015
Diet: Fruit Intake Associated with Lower Risk of Obesity. Researchers followed 18,146 middle-age women for nearly 16 years and
found that those who consumed the highest number of servings of fruit per day were 18% less likely to be overweight or obese at the
end of the study when compared to the participants who consumed the fewest servings of fruit per day. Journal of Nutrition, May 2015
Exercise: Muscles Strength Needed for Stronger Bones in Kids. Assessments of 200 British children at both birth and at age 6 or 7
found an association between higher amounts of lean muscle and bone development. This suggests that physical fitness at a young age
may reduce a child's risk for osteoporosis later in life. Lead investigator Dr. Rebecca Moon adds, "Bone strength and size is important
because they are significant factors in long-term osteoporosis and fracture risk. A ten percent increase in peak bone mass will delay
the onset of osteoporosis by 13 years. These findings point to the importance of early childhood physical activity to optimize muscle
and bone growth." Bone, April 2015
Chiropractic: How Common Are Migraines? Dr. David Dodick, the chairman of the American Migraine Foundation notes that
between 36 million and 40 million Americans experience migraines, and many of those individuals never get a formal diagnosis or
proper treatment. He adds that you might suffer from migraines if you experience two or more of the following symptoms: moderate
to severe head pain, throbbing head pain, head pain that lasts hours to days, nausea or vomiting, headache that worsens with any
physical activity or movement, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound and odors, difficulty concentrating and processing information,
head pain associated with dizziness or vertigo, headache severe enough to miss work or other activities, temporary vision or language
problems, and tingling and numbness with a headache. According to Dr. Dodick, migraines occur three times more often in women
and often run in families. American Migraine Foundation, April 2015
Wellness/Prevention: Breastfeeding Could Reduce Risk of Smoking Relapse. It's estimated that 70% of the women who quit
smoking because of pregnancy will relapse within one year of giving birth with the majority resuming the habit between three and six
months postpartum. A study involving 168 new mothers found that those who breastfed their child for at least 90 days were the least
likely to start smoking again. Study author Dr. Shannon Shisler adds, "Breastfeeding seems to be a protective factor against increases
in smoking after childbirth, so interventions should educate women about breastfeeding to maximize effectiveness. Supporting women
through at least three months of breastfeeding may have long-term benefits in terms of smoking reduction."
