Sleep Too Little or Too Much Linked to Diabetes in Men
Saturday, May 10, 2014
Researchers from New England found that men who slept either less than 6 hours, or greater than 8 hours, increased their risk for type 2 diabetes. That risk remained after adjustments were made for age, hypertension, smoking status, self-rated health status, education, and waist circumference.These results suggest that even though you have a handle on your weight, blood pressure and smoking, you may still court a diagnosis of diabetes if your sleep is consistently short-changed, or over-indulged.
The study included 1564, primarily white men, aged 40 to 70, who were enrolled in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS), and who did not have diabetes at baseline. The men were followed for up to 15 years. Similar, although less marked results were found in women who partook in the Nurses Health Study.
The study appears in the March 2006 issue of Diabetes Care.

Speaking about fun foods, reader Rachael wrote in with a question pertaining to last week’s Cooking for Small Children post:
Q: I have 3 children 3 and under. My two oldest love to snack! I have plenty of fruits and veggies for them, but sometimes they arent the easiest on the go. Id like to steer clear of snacks like cheddar fish or crackers, even. What are some delicious whole, nutritious, on the go snacks?!
A: Thanks for writing, Rachael! While I don’t have kids of my own, my cousins/friends/guy on the corner really seem to like Sabra’s single-serving hummus tubs. They’re portable, cute, and ain’t nothing wrong with a little chickpea dip. If you’re concerned about environmental factors, you can buy a larger tub and scoop little portions into a smaller piece of Tupperware.
But sweet readers, I know you have more on this. What are your little ones’ favorite healthy snacks?
