(Medical Xpress)—New research shows that drinking one to three glasses of champagne a week may counteract the memory loss associated with ageing, and could help delay the onset of degenerative brain disorders, such as dementia. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-05-scientists-reveal-champagne-memory.html Health Wed, 08 May 2013 09:30:03 EST news287221913 Here's another reason why you should include olive oil in your diet: A new research report published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that at least one compound in olive oil significantly reduces intestinal ischemia (restricted blood supply) and the resulting reperfusion injury (tissue damage caused when blood supply returns). The compound, called "oleuropein aglycone," is the most prominent polyphenol found in olive oil and could become a novel therapeutic target aimed at treating intestinal ischemia and reperfusion injury in humans. Ultimately, this research could lead to therapeutic benefits for patients with spinal cord injuries, arthritis and pleurisy, as well as those suffering from intestinal ischemia/reperfusion. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-02-olive-oil-component-alleviates-intestinal.html Health Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:29:02 EST news279278891 (Medical Xpress)—Peanuts taste good and are good for you.

Resveratrol is a constituent of red wine and other vegetable products, and is being evaluated in high-doses as a pharmaceutical. The biologic mechanisms demonstrated in this study could provide key new approaches for the prevention or treatment of a number of chronic diseases in humans, especially those related to vascular and metabolic diseases and to the risk of mortality. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-02-potentially-important-mechanisms-anti-aging-effects.html Medical research Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:10:42 EST news248015431 In an experiment on rats, European researchers have proved that eating strawberries reduces the harm that alcohol can cause to the stomach mucous membrane. Published in the open access journal Plos One, the study may contribute to improving the treatment of stomach ulcers. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-10-strawberries-stomach-alcohol.html Other Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:18:23 EST news238760291 Migraine is a neurovascular disease that affects about 15% of the western population. Compounds in foods and beverages (chocolate, wine, citrus, etc) considered as migraine triggers include tyramine, phenylethylamine and possibly histamine and phenolic compounds. Avoiding those triggers may significantly reduce the frequency of migraines in some patients. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-06-association-alcohol-migraine-headache.html Addiction Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:09:10 EST news227182139
