Research shows that drinking even a small amount of alcohol increases your chances of developing cancer, including oral cancer, breast cancer and liver cancer. Yet, other research shows that drinking small amounts of alcohol may protect the body against coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Some evidence even suggests that red wine may help prevent cancer. Researchers are still trying to learn more about how alcohol links to cancer. But, convincing evidence does support the fact that heavy drinking damages cells and contributes to cancer development. Confused? Use our beverage guide to choose a drink with the lowest health risk, and learn your reco...

And now, with this new study, I have think I might just have the proof.  According to the study, conducted by researcher Mary C. Tierney, PhD, of the University of Toronto,  long term strenuous activity such as running, swimming laps, or calisthenics may lead to memory loss. The study looked at 90 recently menopausal women between the ages of 50 and 63. They were surveyed on their exercise regime - how frequently they did both strenuous and moderate recreational activities - from high school to menopause. For this study, strenuous activities were defined as swimming laps, aerobics, calisthenics, running, jogging, basketball, cycling on hills, and racquetball. Moderate exercises, on the other hand,  included bri...

It lists some common misconceptions and I think it’s important to recognize these. The way we understand the body has changed so much over the last several years, and that includes exercise. My husband and I laugh about the “carb loading” days of old, where you ate tons of pasta and then abused your body some more by running your fool head off! Just think about our bodies having to digest tons of carbs and then exercise heavily to put more pressure on it. And that was just a few years ago! Today, we have learned that being healthy mea...

In fact, its salutary effect on the heart and soul is mentioned in Proverbs of the Old Testament (“Wine makes the heart of Man rejoice”, or something like that).But the ancients also knew that drinking had to be done in moderation. The classical Greeks used to have “symposia” or dinner parties, in which the guests would recline on beds (“triclinium”) placed around the room, drink wine and discuss philosophical and political issues. After the discussion, a gastronomical feast would be served that could last into the wee hours of the night. How could they talk p...
