According to a recent study, thinking too much can make you fat. Researchers found that the stress of over thinking can make people seek out more calories and they believe that the details of their discovery could explain the current obesity epidemic.

A research team from the University Laval in Quebec, Canada, who published their research in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, measured the spontaneous food intake of 14 students after each of three tasks. The first task was to relax in a sitting position, the second task was reading and summarising a test and the third task was completing a series of memory, attention and vigilance tests on a computer. After 45 minutes of each task all the students were invited to eat as much as they wanted from a buffet…

A new study from Texas A&M University in America has suggested that eating red grapefruit may reduce the risk of osteoporosis by boosting bone density. Researchers found that feeding red grapefruit pulp to rats with thinning bones significantly slowed down the rate at which bone cells died – perhaps by boosting levels of immune boosting, disease fighting antioxidants.

The other possibility, from my point of view, is that although grapefruits are thought of as acidic fruits, which they are as we eat them, after digestion they create an alkaline effect. The more acidic the diet becomes with too much animal protein, sugar, caffeine etc, the more calcium is leeched from the bones. So by making the diet more alkaline …

Researchers checked the blood levels of vitamin D in pregnant women. In total 253 women were enrolled in the study, of whom 17% had a Caesarean section. Some 28 per cent of women with low levels of vitamin D had to have a surgical delivery compared with 14 percent of women with high levels. The researchers also believe…

Scientists at the University of Western Australia found that adults who took regular does of vitamin B12 supplements were less likely to suffer mental health problems in old age.

It seems that the supplements lower the amount of homocysteine in the blood, high levels of which have been linked to heart disease and mood swings and other disorders. This can be reduced fairly quickly by taking…

Scientists at the University of Western Australia found that adults who took regular does of vitamin B12 supplements were less likely to suffer mental health problems in old age.

It seems that the supplements lower the amount of homocysteine in the blood, high levels of which have been linked to heart disease and mood swings and other disorders. This can be reduced fairly quickly by taking B12 supplements or by eating food rich in vitamin B12, such as oily fish, eggs, yogurt and cheese. Researchers questioned 3,752 people aged 70 and above on past and present symptoms of depression and found…

The study by scientists from Tufts University in Boston, America – which clearly demonstrates that the food you eat can have an impact on mental performance – found that dieters who avoided carbohydrates do worse in mental tests than those who are allowed some pasta, bread and potatoes.
