How would you like your tomato to be able to protect you from Alzheimer’s disease?
Alzheimer’s Disease is believed to be caused by the accumulation of beta-amyloid, a toxic insoluble fibrous protein in the brain, which leads to the death of neurons. Thus, to prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are trying to […]
Previous studies have already demonstrated in animal trials that resveratrol improves health and longevity. New data confirms that resveratrol does improve health and possibly the quality of life, particularly in obese test animals.
In addition to cardiovascular function, the scientists found resveratrol to have a variety of positive effects on other age-related problems in mice:

A new animal study indicates that low doses of resveratrol, an antioxidant compound naturally found in grapes, pomegranates, red wine among others, can potentially <a href=” width=”160″ />boost the quality of life in old age by improving heart health. The effects of resveratrol seems to mimic that of caloric restriction, which involves keeping to […]
Most kids do, but how about YOU drink milk?

If you were to drink just one beverage all your life, what would it be?
I’m not especially fond of its taste, but I am starting to think we’d be better off in choosing green tea. In addition to the various health benefits of green tea I’ve written many times here at Eating Fabulous, a new […]
Luteolin, a plant flavonoid found in celery and green peppers has been found to reduce inflammatory response in the brain and may thus have a potential role in treating neuroinflammation as a result of aging and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
Graduate research assistant Saebyeol Jang studied the inflammatory response in microglial […]
Spring time, asparagus time!
Asparagus are perfect for pregnant women or those planning to conceive as they are rich in folic acid, a nutrient documented to help prevent a developmental birth defect called spina bifida in newborns. Low folate consumption has also been associated with increased homocysteine levels, a risk factor linked with coronary heart disease, […]
