If you want to make the most out of the health benefits of your green tea, pass on the milk, and add a zest of lemon instead. A preliminary study indicates that citrus juices enable more of green tea’s unique antioxidants to remain after simulated digestion, making the lemon-tea even healthier than previously thought. Using […]
A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that Vitamin D, a key nutrient present in milk, could have aging benefits linked to reduced inflammation.
In a genetic study of more than 2,100 female twin pairs ages 19-79, British and American researchers found that higher vitamin D levels were linked to […]
Vitamin K seems to be a multitasking vitamin. By influencing the secondary modification of osteocalcin, a protein needed to bind calcium to the bone matrix, vitamin K promotes bone health and prevent osteoporosis. It has also been previously shown to help promote cardiovascular health by preventing arterial calcification.
In a new study published in Cell, osteocalcin […]
Looks like calcium and vitamin D not only keeps your bones healthy (and thus prevent osteoporosis) and prevent cardiovascular risks, a recent study also shows that increasing the intake of calcium and vitamin D could also reduce the risk for cancer in women by at least 60 percent.

An animal study led by researchers at Maastricht University shows that vitamin K may prevent calcium buildup in the arteries, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Researchers have found that a single scuba air dive (30 meters depth for 30 minutes) is enough to induce mild changes in cardiac function and a significant decrease in endothelial function. Whether these effects are long-term, and thus pose serious threat to divers’ health, is not yet certain.
However a new study, published in The Journal […]
The July/August issue of the Dairy Council Digest focuses on the various health benefits of milk proteins previously not recognized. In a previous entry, I’ve written about fatty components in milk called conjugated linoleic acids, and how these compounds may be used to treat diabetes. This time, the spotlight is on the protein components: casein […]
Sometime ago, I read somewhere (ok, I’ve no citations, but you’ve just gotta trust me, I really did) that when the budget shrinks, one the first things people tend on scrimp on is the food allowance. Smokers will still buy their cigarettes, women will still buy their lipgloss, but when it comes to buying fresh […]
