Watch now[toc] Alcohol is one of the most heavily used and abused drugs. It's also a very controversial topic, in part because alcohol plays such a large role in societies and cultures around the world. For many, it's a normal part of daily life. There is also a lot of confusion about alcohol. There's no doubt that alcohol can have a personal and public health impact. On the other hand, research in the last few decades suggests that not only may a moderate intake of alcohol not be harmful, but it might also be protective against certain diseases. This idea is heavily debated, and conflicting evidence h... cancer cardiovascular alcohol brain alzheimer's diabetes breast cancer

Read moreVitamins and minerals are utilized by a wide array of enzymes that protect cells and DNA from damage. Zinc, in particular, is essential for maintaining DNA integrity and adequate antioxidant defenses. A new paper reviewing the work of Dr. Bruce Ames and others highlights the importance of zinc in promoting longevity and preventing chronic diseases. Zinc is a metallic mineral that is consumed in the diet from foods such as meat, shellfish, legumes, and fortified foods. Severe zinc deficiency results in growth retardation, hair loss, skin sores, and depressed immunity and is uncommon in develope... aging inflammation dna damage immune system zinc
Read moreExercise puts a demand on skeletal muscle cells to produce energy at a faster rate than at rest. To do this, the body increases the delivery of fats to the muscle mitochondria while increasing the mitochondrial capacity to metabolize fats, a process called beta-oxidation. Researchers of a new study aimed to illuminate the cellular mechanisms of mitochondrial fat metabolism following moderate intensity aerobic exercise. Mitochondria are cellular structures responsible for the production of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The inner membrane of mitochondria possess a series of... exercise fat
Read moreDuring the process of menopause, the ovaries produce less estrogen, leading to several physiological changes that include the end of reproductive life. Lower estrogen levels in post-menopausal females may decrease the body’s antioxidant enzymes because estrogen has known antioxidant properties. In a recent report, a group of researchers tested the effects of drumstick (Moringa oleifera) and amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor) leaf supplements on antioxidant capacity in post-menopausal females. Much of the bodily damage that comes with aging is caused by oxygen radicals, but many foods and supplemen... diabetes moringa
Read more[toc position='left'] Introduction Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body. Perhaps best known for its role in maintaining calcium balance and bone health, vitamin D is critical in many physiological processes, such as blood pressure regulation, immune function, and cell growth. Poor vitamin D status is implicated in the pathogenesis of many acute and chronic diseases, including rickets, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Vitamin D is a controversial topic in the scientific community and has contributed to much debate regarding t... gut blood pressure vitamin d aging vitamin k calcium
