Dementia, a general term that describes the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities, impacts an estimated 5 million Americans at any given time. However, the cognitive disease is not a normal part of aging, says the CDC. There are a number of risk factors that influence whether or not someone will develop one of the many forms of the disease. Many of them are genetic. However, some are environmental or behavioral. Now, a study published in Aging has found a link between one unhealthy habit and dementia, finding that it can double an individual's chance of developing it. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss this urgent news: Here's How You Can Catch COVID Even If You're Vaccinated.If You Sleep Less, You're More Likely to Get DementiaInvestigators at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital found that those who get five or less hours of sleep per night are twice as likely to develop dementia than those who slept seven to eight hours per night. Even more, they discovered a link between sleep disturbance and sleep deficiency with overall risk of death. "Our findings illuminate a connection between sleep deficiency and risk of dementia and confirm the importance of efforts to help older individuals obtain sufficient sleep each night," lead author, Rebecca Robbins of the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, explained in a Harvard press release.As part of their research Robbins and her team used data collected from 2,610 older adults participating in the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), a longitudinal study of Medicare beneficiaries 65 years and older. They focused on their sleep-related responses, and then collected information about patient outcomes—including dementia and death—five years post-survey. They found a variety of sleep related factors influenced chances of developing dementia. For example, routinely taking 30 minutes or longer to fall asleep was associated with a 45 percent greater risk for incident dementia, while "routinely experiencing a difficulty in maintaining alertness, routinely napping, reporting poor sleep quality, and sleeping five or fewer hours per night was also associated with increased risk of death."RELATED: Simple Ways to Avoid a Heart Attack, According to DoctorsSleep Is Good For Your Brain"This prospective study reveals that sleep deficiency at baseline, when the average age of participants was 76 years old, was associated with double the risk of incident dementia and all-cause mortality over the next four to five years," senior author Charles Czeisler, chief of the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, added. "These data add to the evidence that sleep is important for brain health and highlight the need for further research on the efficacy of improving sleep and treating sleep disorders on the risk of Alzheimer's disease and mortality."The researchers hope their findings will encourage further studies surrounding sleep and its relationship to dementia and death. "Our study demonstrates that very short sleep durations and poor-quality sleep in the elderly increase the risk of developing dementia and earlier death. There should be increased focus on obtaining healthy sleep in older adults," second author Stuart Quan of the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders added. Warding off dementia isn't the only benefit of getting enough z's. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, other benefits include improved immunity, weight management, reduced stress and mood improvement, a clearer mind to improve performance at school and work, better decision making abilities and a decreased risk of accidents, and a lower risk of serious health problems—including diabetes and heart disease.

Not everyone counts their macros to a T, and that's OK—but a new study has found that increasing one basic nutrient in your diet can be a simple way to help you steer clear of something as painful as kidney disease.We all know it's important to get enough nutrients like healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins in our diet each day. We're also aware that not making this a priority can lead to pretty serious problems for our health—especially our key organs that handle some of the body's most important functions.RELATED: 7 Healthiest Foods To Eat Right NowA new study out of Seoul National University College of Medicine was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition after looking at the ratios of calories from the macronutrients participants consumed. The researchers' goal was to identify a healthy diet balance that can prevent chronic kidney disease.The study utilized data from 567,000 participants and established a baseline macronutrient ratio at 50% carbohydrates, 35% fats, and 15% protein. They found that, as the study abstract states, higher relative protein intake in subjects with normal kidney function was significantly associated with a lower risk of incident of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. Conversely, individuals with higher fat intake also had a higher risk of impaired kidney function. How much protein is good for you? It depends on your goals, but we've got plenty of tips for a range of diet needs, plus 19 high-protein, filling breakfasts.Sign up for the Eat This, Not That! newsletter for the nutrition news you need each day.

How many dinner recipes have you prepared that don't contain onions? Not very many? We thought so. To us, onions (and garlic) are like salt and pepper when it comes to cooking—they don't necessarily stand out as an overwhelming flavor, but they do make any dish taste better.We're not only fans of onions because they taste good, we're also big fans of their health benefits. What Happens To Your Body When You Eat Onion? A lot of good:"Onions are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that reduce the risk of heart disease, lower high blood pressure, and protect against blood clots. They're also great, calorie-free flavoring agents for food," explain Eat This, Not That! Medical Expert Board members and registered dietitians Lyssie Lakatos, RDN, and Tammy Lakatos Shames, RDN, known as The Nutrition Twins.Despite their essential role in cooking and awesome benefits for your health, there is one side effect of eating onions that is worth being aware of before you slice open your next allium: for some people with sensitive digestive tracts, onions may cause bloating, cramping, and gas. (Related: The One Hack For Cutting Onions, According to an Expert.)"For some people who have a hard time digesting them, especially people who have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), onions can cause painful gas, cramping, and bloating due to their soluble fibers called fructans (oligosaccharides); these fermentable carbs are poorly absorbed in the small intestine," say The Twins.Experts estimate that only 5-15% of fructans are digested in the small intestine. The remaining carbohydrates make their way down to the colon where they are fermented rapidly. This rapid fermentation can cause a little extra gas, but for those with IBS, this can cause severe bloating, cramping, abdominal pain, and uncomfortable bowel movements.IBS affects 1 in 7 people, according to Monash University researchers, who are pioneers of the Low-FODMAP Diet: a diet that is low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols, which are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine absorbs poorly. If you have developed a FODMAP sensitivity and notice that onions have been giving you extra gas, it might be worth connecting with a registered dietitian or health professional to discuss your options, one of which may be to reduce your intake of similar foods or to test for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)."Fermentable carbs, like those found in onions, are known as FODMAPs," say The Twins. "Restricting high-FODMAP foods can provide massive gut relief for people who are sensitive to them. Even in very small quantities, onions can cause digestive issues. And although cooked onions seem to be better than raw, both can wreak havoc on sensitive digestive tracts," they add.If you are sensitive to onion, but you're still looking for its flavor in your cooking, there's no need to fret—just try this food hack.The fructans in onions that cause sensitivities are soluble only in water. That means that when cooking onions in soup or stock, that fructan content will leak out into the water, which can then result in digestive discomfort when you then consume that food. The alternative is to simmer your onions in oil."In an oil-based dish, the fructans will not leech out (as fructans are not soluble in oil). Therefore, if you are making something based in oil, for example a stir-fry, it is possible to add a large piece of onion or a whole garlic clove and simply pull the pieces out before adding other ingredients. This way you will have the [flavor] without the fructan content leaching into the meal," according to The Monash University FODMAP Blog.If you haven't noticed any bloating or cramping when eating onions, then there's no cause for concern. But if you have experience digestive issues after consuming this allium, it's worth connecting with a medical professional. Left unaddressed, you will continue to experience these uncomfortable side effects.
