The silent threat to bone health: How everyday habits could be weakening your skeleton
Prioritize calcium-rich foods (dairy, sardines, tofu, kale), adequate protein (meat, beans, nuts) and vitamins D & C (sunlight, citrus, peppers) to prevent bone weakening and support repair. Engage in weight-bearing activities (jumping, squats, deadlifts) and resistance training to remodel bones, while balance-focused exercises (yoga, swimming) reduce fall risks. Avoid smoking, excessive caffeine (postmenopause) and sedentary […]

The hidden power of root vegetables: Why parsnips and other winter veggies deserve a spot on your plate
Root vegetables like parsnips, carrots and beets are packed with fiber, vitamins (C, B6, E) and antioxidants (beta-carotene, flavonoids) that boost immunity, lower inflammation and protect against chronic diseases. Parsnips lead with 6.5g fiber per cup, aiding digestion, gut microbiome health, cholesterol reduction and blood sugar control, while cooked-and-cooled parsnips form resistant starch for anti-inflammatory […]

Boost your health: Understanding iron and its complex interactions
Heme iron (from meat, poultry, fish) is highly absorbable (15% to 35%), while non-heme iron (from plants, supplements) has lower absorption (2% to 20%) unless paired with enhancers like vitamin C. Pairing non-heme iron sources (spinach, lentils) with vitamin C-rich foods (citrus, bell peppers) significantly increases absorption by converting iron into a more absorbable form. […]

Study reveals critical link between diet quality and heart failure recovery: Processed foods undermine health gains
A UT Southwestern study presented at the 2025 American Heart Association conference found that heart-failure patients receiving medically tailored meals or fresh produce showed markedly better recovery than those given dietary advice alone. Processed and refined foods—even plant-based ones—undermined cardiovascular benefits, emphasizing the need for whole-food, nutrient-dense diets in chronic disease management. The trial of […]

High-normal potassium levels cut arrhythmia risk by 24% in ICD patients: POTCAST trial shows promise
The POTCAST randomized trial showed that elevating potassium levels to a “high-normal” range (4.5–5.0 mmol/L) reduced the risk of serious heart rhythm events in ICD patients by 24 percent (hazard ratio 0.76) over ~39.6 months. In the study of 1,200 participants (baseline potassium less than or equal to 4.3 mmol/L), 22.7 percent of the intervention […]

The invisible contaminants in your vegetables: Study outlines NANOPLASTICS being detected in radishes
A study has found that nearly five percent of polystyrene nanoplastics exposed to radish roots were retained in the root system after five days. Of that retained amount, ~25 percent moved into the fleshy, edible root (the bulb) and ~10 percent reached the leaves. The study used hydroponically grown radishes exposed only by their underground […]

Study: A very specific dietary strategy can help make glioblastoma more treatable
Glioblastoma cells rewire their metabolism. Instead of using glucose for the brain’s normal energy functions and neurotransmitter production, the tumors divert sugar into building blocks (nucleotides) needed for rapid growth and invasion. Glioblastoma shows reduced capacity to produce serine and glycine internally, and instead scavenges them from the blood. Mice fed diets low in serine […]

Practical and sustainable path to a healthy heart: The influence of diet on cardiovascular health
Aim to consume minimally processed foods 80 percent of the time, allowing flexibility for the remaining 20 percent. Drink plenty of water and minimize or eliminate alcohol, which can be toxic to cells. Incorporate fiber-filled, anti-inflammatory foods like beans, lentils, fatty fish, nuts and whole grains to reduce cardiovascular risk. Use smaller plates, pre-portion meals […]

Outbreak of rare SALMONELLA in the U.K. and Europe linked to Sicilian cherry tomatoes, over 200 people infected
A rare Salmonella strain (Strathcona ST2559) has infected nearly 300 people across Europe and the U.K. since early 2024, raising serious public health concerns. From January 2023 to November 2024, health authorities confirmed 232 cases across 16 EU/EEA nations and the U.K., with Italy (67), Germany (62), France (23) and the U.K. (29) among the […]
