Type 2 diabetes is a growing epidemic across the United States, particularly in those 50 and older.
What if cancer isn’t a genetic disease after all? What if scientists are chasing a flawed paradigm, and
Today EWG joined an international roster of more than 200 scientists and medical professionals to call for stricter limits on antibacterial chemicals that are added to thousands of consumer products, despite evidence that they are ineffective and pose health risks. In a statement published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives, scientists, doctors, nurses, government officials and others from 30 nations urged avoidance and tighter regulation of triclosan, triclocarban and other antimicrobial chemicals. These chemicals are approved for use in more than 2,000 products, from shampoos and toothpastes to toys and paints. They build up in people’s bodies, persist in […]
How many of us give much, if any, thought to keeping our brains in working order? Think about it: Our brain and our heart are our two most vital organs. If they stop working…we stop living. But, while we’re inundated with information and advice about how to keep our cardiovascular systems purring, the gray matter inside our skulls is usually ignored — unless something goes horribly wrong. Well, we thought, why wait until there’s a brain problem? Instead, let’s think ahead. So, we asked a few Palm Beach County health experts for tips on maximizing brain health… BRAIN-BOOSTING FOODS Load up on […]

Strawberries are loaded with antioxidants, which help defend cell structures in the body and protect the body’s organs. Strawberries are second only to plums as the richest fruit in phenols and antioxidants, and are especially high in cancer- and heart disease-fighting flavonoids, quercetin, catechin, and kaempferol. Strawberries can offer enhanced protection against crippling inflammation-related diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Strawberries have shown an ability to inhibit tumor growth and to slow the progress of tumors as they begin to develop, according to a study using rats with esophageal cancer. In a study done by the Institute of Biochemistry in Ancona, Italy, researchers found that when […]
For those of us who grew up in Southeast Asia, big, savory breakfasts were the norm. A popular breakfast staple was smoked fish with scrambled eggs and tomato salad. Fried rice, fried eggs, sausages called longaniza (a bit like Spanish chorizo), and rice porridge with fish or meatballs were also regularly on the menu in most homes, but not in mine. My father, who was a physician and very health-conscious, always ate plain oatmeal, and he insisted we eat it, too, without berries, bananas or raisins. We reluctantly complied, but today I am grateful for all of my father’s health […]
In fact, Indians aged 70 to 79 years are four times less likely to have Alzheimer’s disease than Americans. The reason for this difference is unknown, but the Indian diet may very well have something to do with it. Curry dishes, of course, are a staple of the Indian diet. A few years back, a study actually found that Asians who occasionally ate curry performed better on cognitive tests than those who rarely did. Since then other studies have pointed to the benefits of turmeric, a key spice in curry sauces. Is Curcumin Curry’s Key Ingredient? The use of turmeric dates back […]
