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.

Medications that Cause Weight gain Weight gain is a major concern for most people especially considering that losing weight isn’t an easy task. There are other reasons on top of bad nutrition and insufficient physical activity that could add pounds and kilograms (allow me to be a little more international) to our body weight. Medications are one of the major contributor to weight gain and a factor that is growing on a continuous basis. Especially, considering that the number of people on prescription drugs is also growing. I did some research and looked at many medications and classes of drugs that are well known for causing weight gain but there are also some that are not widely known. In this post, I’d like to provide you with a list of these medications. I know patients who have uncontrollable depression and are totally dysfunctional but at the same time greatly afraid from gaining weight, therefore they resist taking anti-depressive medications. Are you on one of the above drugs?
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.
