If you're getting ready for a surgery, such as a joint replacement or another major operation, you may want to ask your health care providers about prehabilitation. The new study finds a combination of movement, increasing your protein intake, and mentally preparing for surgery can significantly reduce the risk of complications, says study author Dr. Dan McIsaac of the University of Ottawa.

For instance, the research shows people who do strength building and other forms of physical activity in the month or two before surgery can reduce their risks by as much as 40%, often decreasing hospital stays and making a meaningful improvement in how they experience their recovery.

The precise amount of alcohol that may increase a person's risk is not clear. It's linked to a range of factors, including genetics and family history. Current U.S. guidelines recommend no more than one drink a day for women, two for men. A review of the evidence underway now could lead to revisions later this year. Allison Aubrey, NPR News.
