According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, many elderly women are not aware of the critical role which vitamin D plays in preventing fractures. This nutrient helps the body use calcium to maintain strong bones. “We should make people aware of Vitamin D’s importance,” says Dr. Meryl S. Leboff. In their study, researchers compared thirty women with hip fractures with sixty-eight who did not have fractures. Half the broken-hip group had vitamin D deficiencies.
Common sources of Vitamin include eggs, milk and cereals. Experts advise asking your doctor about supplements. Lycopene is an antioxidant and, as you may know, antioxidants are an important part of the body’s cell protection systems. Recent studies report an association between Lycopene-rich diet and a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes, tomato paste, pink grapefruit and watermelon are excellent sources of Lycopene. Make sure you’re getting enough of these fruits and vegetables in order to prevent cancer diseases. In addition to the proper diet, a healthy diet includes regular exercise, medical check-ups and refraining from smoking.
The FDA (Federal Department of Agriculture) has issued a warning to consumers about several sleeping pills. In the United States, at least three people die because of these pills and 119 other people have suffered serious side effects. “We cannot be everywhere,” says FDA drug Chief Dr. Janet Woodstock, “and we really want to transmit this message to consumers: study labels, look carefully at anything marked as an aid for sleeping” and don’t consume any suspect ingredients.
