Happy Friday, everyone. Welcome back to wake of a chatter with Shannon
Bake a
chat time now for good to know. Good news for coffee lovers. I think that's all of us.
A new study says that drinking it daily could help protect your heart.
Researchers at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute.
Yes,
no relation to me found that drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day
was associated with a 10 to 15% decrease in the risk of getting heart disease.
Meanwhile,
researchers from Sweden and the UK found that more caffeine and
your blood can actually reduce your risk of type two diabetes.
That's great news with the amount of caffeine I'm drinking all the time. A
study published in the B M J medicine journal.
Researchers used genetic markers to link caffeine levels and body mass index.
And I looked at how quickly people broke down caffeine in their blood.
And it's well known that the higher your B M I
is the higher your risk of developing type two diabetes.
The study found that those with more caffeine in their blood had lower body fat mass,
meaning the risk for developing diabetes is lower.
And you always make so much fun of me for having all this caffeine all day.
I mean, it's really close.
It's diet Cokes, it's, you know, green teas, it's coffee, it's ice coffee.
So it's probably, you're so hyped up on the caffe, you just do spit
that
getting
all your.
Yes. Exactly.
I'm always working out all the time, but this is always good because it's like,
I feel like every time we do a story where
it's like eggs and coffee are so volatile one day,
it's like they're doing,
they're really good for your health the next
day they're really terrible for your moment.
This will change
next week,
next week, we'll have an update to.
All right.
Well, another study that's good to know today,
more than 500,000 urinary tract infections are caused by E coli linked to meat.
Interesting. Yeah. The study published in the journal.
One health had scientists uh uh basically they isolated
E coli strain from meat products and Flagstaff Arizona and
then compare those strains to blood samples from patients who
have a urinary tract infection at a nearby hospital.
And they determine that about 8% of the infections could be linked to meat.
Yeah, since the US food supply chain is connected throughout the country,
scientists believe that hundreds of thousands of U T I S are caused by E coli.
So, I mean, I can, we say it's good to know. At least you know they
go
the next time you're about to have that burger, you're like, OK, maybe, maybe,
maybe not.
I
change it up and see if it affects you, if you especially have reoccurring uh U T I
s.
And finally guys,
new research shows that there is at least
one major upside for those who've gotten COVID.
According to a new study published in the Lancet COVID-19,
antibodies are lasting even longer than previously believed.
However,
researchers do want to note that natural immunity varies from person to person.
The study analyzed 65
studies from 19 countries and compared the risk of getting the virus again in
people who just recovered from it to those who hadn't been infected yet.
And they found that having COVID-19 lowered a person's risk of reinfection
and hospitalization by a whopping 88% for at least another 10 months.
Wow.
CDC adds that staying up to date with your boosters will offer added protection
against the virus will also lower your
chance of severe illness and hospitalization.
That's really interesting. I mean, how many times have you caught COVID?
I think it's been twice so far.
But the first time they were like, oh,
you have the antibodies for about three months.
I
had them for about seven months. Wow, I kept going back and getting checked.
I was like, oh, I still got them good.
And since, because this is still so new,
I think we're learning so much more effects about the long term COVID.
Uh,
people who have long COVID symptoms where they're not able to
sort of get their taste and smell back as well.
All of this, I still have not caught COVID. Isn't that crazy? Oh, wow.
Still
to this
day
I
am.
Yes, I am.
