Cocoa May Help Aging Brain Function

People who ate high or moderate levels of cocoa flavanols for two months improved significantly in some thinking assessment tests, a U.S. food expert says. “A study in the journal Hypertension found elderly people with mild cognitive impairment given dietary flavanols from chocolate did better on cognition tests,” Phil Lempert, a food industry analyst, trend watcher and creator of supermarketguru.com, said in a statement. “They also experienced a decrease in insulin resistance, which helps regulate blood sugar, as well as improvements in blood pressure, compared with those who consumed only small amounts.” Flavanols are a type of flavonoid — the […]

Diet Could Hold Back Aging

Scientists in the North East may be a step closer to finding a way to slow down the aging process. Newcastle University has identified that damaged protein could be one of the key aspects to premature ageing. A team of experts found that the condition of key proteins in the mitochondria – the “batteries” of cells – could be used to predict, and eventually treat, premature aging. It was established that one way of slowing down the aging process was by restricting diet to reduce the number of calories consumed. A study with mice identified that by using calorie restriction, a […]

New research has found that magnesium may be better at protecting specifically against hip fracture than calcium in both men and women. But, like most Americans, you likely are deficient in it, as nearly 75% of them are. Here’s what you need to know about magnesium and your hips.
