This week was yet another eventful week in the world of health. With the Jahi McMath proceedings, Barbara Bush in the hospital, and the flu virus spreading, it’s hard to keep up. The government announced that vending machines will now be required to have nutrition information on them as a part of the new healthcare law. Research has actually found that drinking [in moderation] can boost your immune system. The southeast is leading the nation in number of strokes. A study found a link between bodily sensation and the emotion that a person is feeling. Researchers also found that if give a child too much praise, especially if they have low self-esteem, it may hold them back in the future. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Yes, the government is actually requiring nutrition information to be on the outside of vending machines across the nation. This is a part of the new healthcare act in hopes that seeing the information will make people make better choices, as if the person buying a Snickers in place of lunch didn’t already know it wasn’t the best choice.

2. A study has been throughout the news this week because researchers have found a link between your emotions and what happens to your body. Though they don’t know why, people across the world share bodily sensations due to an emotion. When you’re in love, you glow and when you’re anxious you may have chest pain. It is taking a giant step forward in identifying and treating emotional disorders. You can check out the full story at The Celebrity Cafe.
3. The southeast is leading the nation in the amount of deaths via stroke each year, labeling the region ‘The Stroke Belt.’ You can read more about this in depth at The Celebrity Cafe. Perhaps it’s the Paula Dean style cooking, the extra butter, fat, fried chicken. But researchers have found that the leading cause of stroke, like high blood pressure and hypertension, are all common in the southeast.
4. Just in time for the new year, research came through that drinking [in moderation] can actually boost the immune system. The study was performed on primates and those who drank heavily had poor health. However, those who drank in moderation actually had a boost in their immune system.

5. Many studies have shown that giving your child praise can help boost their self-esteem and help them succeed. However, a new study took a look at what inflated (too much) praise does for a child. Too much praise for a child, especially one that already suffers from low self-esteem, can actually hold them back by making them feel pressured and they will not take on new challenges.
