]]> According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 8 million adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with depression each year. That number may be just the tip of the iceberg, since many people with depression go undiagnosed and untreated. On the next Mayo Clinic Radio, psychologist Dr. Craig Sawchuk discusses new guidelines for depression screening, including screening expectant mothers. Also on the program, hematologist Dr. Rajiv Pruthi explains common blood tests and what they can tell your doctor. And, can non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) – the daily calories a person burns while doing normal, non-exercise activities – help you maintain a healthy weight? Wellness activity and assessment specialist Nolan Peterson outlines how NEAT activities, including vacuuming, climbing stairs, folding laundry, pacing, and even fidgeting can all help you burn calories.

Here's your Mayo Clinic Radio podcast.

HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Shopping for shades?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can damage your eyes, not just your skin. Choose sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays. Skip sunglasses that are labeled 'cosmetic' and those that don't offer details on the amount of UV protection. Opt for larger lenses rather than smaller lenses. Better yet, choose wraparound sunglasses. Be aware that while polarized lenses reduce glare, they don't offer any UV protection unless they're specifically treated with UV coating.

Is NEAT part of your weight-control plan?

]]> ROCHESTER, Minn. — Sept. 17, 2013  — Products that help motivate and track non-exercise activity may be eligible for NEAT product certification and to use the NEAT trademark from Mayo Clinic

Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, known as NEAT™, focuses on the daily calories a person burns while doing normal, non-exercise activity. Examples of these activities are walking to meetings, pacing while on the phone, cleaning the house, cooking, folding laundry, climbing stairs or standing while talking to a friend. Not included are the calories burned during intense periods of exercise, such as long-distance biking, running, jogging or aerobics.

Leading obesity expert James Levine, M.D., Ph.D., and the Mayo Clinic Active Life Research Team have spent 10 years conducting medical research on nutrition, physical activity and behavior related to weight management and obesity prevention. This research concluded that a contributing factor to the obesity epidemic is the decrease in expenditure of human energy through lack of movement in daily life.

Research found that increasing the NEAT in daily life can result in sustainable weight loss and a dramatic improvement in overall health. This reduces obesity risk factors that include percent of body fat, Body Mass Index (BMI), cholesterol, the HDL/LDL ratio, and plasma triglycerides.

Gruve Technologies of Minneapolis has met the certification requirements, becoming the first company to have a NEAT-certified device. The device can be calibrated to the user's metabolism and habits, and measures and records NEAT activity intensity and duration. It also provides feedback to keep the user on track, with status lights, vibration to remind the user to move and an interactive website that displays visual success measures.

Mayo Clinic Ventures licenses the intellectual property behind NEAT to companies, allowing them to have nonexclusive use of this patented technology. Mayo Clinic also provides certification licenses to companies whose products meet NEAT requirements. The role of Mayo Clinic Ventures is to make Mayo innovations more broadly available to improve people's lives. Revenue Mayo receives from these activities is used to support its not-for-profit mission of patient care, education and research.

"As our civilization must keep moving to survive, NEAT is a lifesaving, accessible concept — anyone can do it. I am heartened that NEAT will help show the way," says Dr. Levine, an endocrinologist and the Richard Emslander Professor of Nutrition and Metabolism at Mayo Clinic.

Mayo Clinic and Dr. Levine have a financial interest in the technology referenced in this news release.
