Vitamin D deficiency connected to high BP

People with low levels of Vitamin D are more prone to have stiffer arteries and inability of blood vessels to relax.

A study conducted by the scientist at the Emory/Georgia Tech. Predictive Health Institute resulted to a conclusion of lack of vitamin D can lead to impaired vascular health, contributing to high blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Vascular health and lower blood pressure were seen to the study participants who usually go under the sunlight, or by means of diet to increase their levels of Vitamin D.

Strawberry Consumption Helps Prevent Cancer

Scientists have studied that consumption of strawberries may help in decreasing the risk for esophageal cancer.


Researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer and in China together carried out the study. This was the first-ever joint Ohio State cancer clinical trial to be conducted in China.

"We concluded from this study that six months of strawberry treatment was safe and easy to consume. In addition, our preliminary data suggests that strawberries decreased histological grade of precancerous lesions and reduced cancer-related molecular events," said Tong Chen, lead author, and assistant professor at Ohio State.

Head Trauma

You've probably bumped your head at one time or another. Most head injuries are minor, resulting in simple cuts and bruises that can often be treated with basic first aid. However, a head injury can also be life-threatening. This is particularly true if it involves a loss of consciousness (concussion), even if only briefly.
