I’ve already written a previous entry on apple juice and its potential to stave off Alzheimer’s Disease. There’s a more recent study that supports it, with data from 1,836 dementia-free subjects observed for a span of 10 years indicating that drinking fruit and vegetable juices more than 3 times per week had 76% less chances […]
Slowly, I am getting a picture of what a fabulously healthy breakfast should be:
Coffee, strawberry probiotic yoghurt, cereals with cranberries, and… orange juice.

A small 6 month long study involving patients with prostate cancer suggests that a plant-based diet, coupled with a stress-reduction regime, can help slow, stop, or perhaps even reverse the progression of prostate cancer.
Patients were taught to increase consumption of plant-based foods such as whole grains, cruciferous and leafy green vegetables, beans and legumes, and […]

Tea: 2 points. (Bile Stones/Gall Bladder and Insomnia)
Coffee: 2 points (Liver Cirrhosis/Parkinson’s/Diabetes and Cognition)
Now, chalk up another one for tea. In fact, give tea another bonus point for being considered as even healthier than water!
“Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water. Water is essentially replacing fluid. Tea replaces fluids and contains […]

Flavonoids are secondary plant metabolites thought to play an important role in reducing risks for cardiovascular diseases. So, scientists came up with a tomato cultivar with richer flavonoid content by inserting […]
I already enumerated some of the reported health benefits of coffee in a previous entry. Well, here’s another one: Coffee consumption seems to slows down cognitive decline in elderly men.
A survey of 670 men born between 1900 and 1920 from Finland, Italy and the Netherlands were observed for a period of 10 years. Coffee […]
Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of sleeping pills enter the market for people who chronically have difficulty in sleeping.
