What is the food that can really improve your eyesight? Many people suffer declining eyesight as they get older, but is there something we can eat to improve it, asks Michael Mosley. My eyesight has never been good. I've worn glasses most of my life and as I get older that's a situation that I've only expected to get worse. When the Trust Me, I'm A Doctor team suggested that I try taking supplements to improve my eyesight, though, I was sceptical, particularly as I am not a fan of supplements. Nonetheless I headed off to meet Prof John Barbur of City University in London to have my eyesight thoroughly tested. He also measured the level of protection that the most delicate area of my retina - the macula - had against damage from high energy blue and UV light. The results of my tests were both fascinating and depressing. The Trust Me team then handed me a 90-day supply of supplement pills that were supposed to help. Find out more The results were less of a surprise to Prof John Nolan, who I went to meet in Waterford, in south-east Ireland.
Black Pepper And Turmeric – The Combination That Could Save Lives Black pepper & turmeric – The combination that could save lives A group of scientists from the University of Michigan has come to a conclusion that a combination of black pepper and turmeric could act as a great protection against breast cancer. What is even more interesting is that the same mixture can even help breast cancer patients. Even though turmeric is a very strong medicinal herb, when it is taken by mouth, the body can’t absorb the nutrients to the fullest because of its fast metabolism in the intestinal wall and liver. However, black pepper has the ability to increase the level of absorption of curcumin for up to 200% which means that this combination can protect the body from infections, inflammations and cancers. 1. Curcumin and piperine are two active ingredients found in these herbs and they have the ability to affect over 700 different genes. 2. 3. The aforementioned active substances in black pepper and turmeric have strong anti-depressant properties. 4.

Are the health claims about apple cider vinegar true? Image copyright iStock Apple cider vinegar is a traditional folk remedy that has been around for many centuries. But is it beneficial for our health, asks Michael Mosley. Cider vinegar is made by mixing chopped-up apples with water and sugar, then allowing the mixture to ferment, turning some of it into acetic acid. Despite being acidic and definitely something of an acquired taste, in recent years cider vinegar has become incredibly popular. But which, if any, of the many different health claims made on its behalf stand up to scientific scrutiny? Find out more Michael Mosley (left, above, with Dr James Brown) presents Trust Me, I'm A Doctor which returns for a new series on Thursday 1 September on BBC Two at 20:00 BST - catch up on BBC iPlayer We started by testing a claim which does seem to have the most scientific credibility - the claim that drinking a couple of tablespoons of vinegar, diluted in water, before a meal will help you control your blood sugar levels.
Turmeric is a Potent Inflammation and Cancer Fighter: How Much You Should Take & How Often – REALfarmacy.com By Deane Alban Historically, spices are treasured for the unique flavors they bring to food and for their healing properties. Most spices provide some health benefits, but one spice that shines for its medicinal benefits is turmeric. You may have seen turmeric in the news as a potential treatment for diseases as diverse as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, psoriasis, and Alzheimer’s. But does this spice live up to its press? And can you get the benefits of turmeric from food alone or should you take a turmeric supplement? Turmeric and curcumin are often used interchangeably. Here’s everything you need to know about the health benefits of turmeric. Traditional Health Benefits of Turmeric Turmeric is a spice that comes from the root of Curcuma longa, a beautiful flowering tropical plant native to India. Turmeric has been used for healing for thousands of years going back to Ayurveda, India’s 5,000-year-old natural healing system. (1) It was also used as a beauty treatment. (5) Dr. Share:
New wonder drug matches and kills all kinds of cancer — human testing starts 2014 Stanford researchers are on track to begin human trials of a potentially potent new weapon against cancer, and would-be participants are flooding in following the Post’s initial report on the discovery. The progress comes just two months after the groundbreaking study by Dr Irv Weissman, who developed an antibody that breaks down a cancer’s defense mechanisms in the body. A protein called CD47 tells the body not to “eat” the cancer, but the antibody developed by Dr Weissman blocks CD47 and frees up immune cells called macrophages — which can then engulf the deadly cells. The new research shows the miraculous macrophages effectively act as intelligence gatherers for the body, pointing out cancerous cells to cancer-fighting “killer T” cells. The T cells then “learn” to hunt down and attack the cancer, the researchers claim. The clinical implications of the process could be profound in the war on cancer. This turns them into a personalized cancer vaccine.
Frozen food safety confusion causing waste, warns FSA Misconceptions about frozen food are contributing to the seven million tonnes of waste thrown out by UK households every year, the Food Standards Agency says. A survey for the FSA found 43% of people wrongly thought food could only be frozen on the day it was bought, suggesting confusion over food safety. Some 38% incorrectly said food could become unsafe to eat in the freezer. In fact, "the freezer is like a pause button", the FSA's Steve Wearne said. Guidance published by the agency, which is responsible for food safety and food hygiene across the UK, says food can be safely frozen at any time up to its "use by" date. Although the taste or texture of the food can deteriorate over time due to ice crystal damage, frozen food will keep indefinitely, it says. Once defrosted, food will spoil in the same way as if it were fresh, it advises. Image copyright PA When is it safe to freeze food?
