Health Tips of the Week
- The cancer preventive properties of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables appear to work specifically in smokers.
- Use of the herb Ginkgo biloba, claimed to have beneficial effects on memory and cognition, was not effective in reducing the rate of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
- A new report from Psychological Science claims that proper spacing of lessons can dramatically enhance learning. Larger gaps between study sessions result in a better recall of facts. However, Cramming is not effective in the long run.
- Doctors in Europe have performed the first trachea transplant that hinges on the patient's own stem cells.
- Overweight teens who weigh themselves at least once a week are more likely to engage in other healthy weight control measures than teens who step on the scale less frequently
- If you are drinking a lot of green tea and taking statins, you are making your statin much more potent and increasing side effects like aches and pains in the joints.
- The more research they do, the more evidence scientists find that specific elements of marijuana can be good for the aging brain by reducing inflammation in the brain and possibly even stimulating the formation of new brain cells.
- A new study confirms that exercise can reverse the age-related decline in the production of neural stem cells in the hippocampus of the mouse brain, and suggests that this happens because exercise restores a brain chemical which promotes the production and maturation of new stem cells
- Sleep helps the mind learn complicated tasks and helps people recover learning. Using a test that involved learning to play video games, researchers showed for the first time that people who thought they had “forgotten” how to perform a complex task 12 hours after training found that those abilities were restored after a night’s sleep.
- Money issues can lead to a number of problems for married couples.

Then there are friends and family on your gift list. Gift giving is real pricey, for we have been keeping up with the Joneses; gifts have become a monetary barometer for love and affection. “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways” “Hmm, Burberry scarf, Coach bag, Tiffany bracelet, yeah, you do love me.” Out of desperation, many of you might be telling your friends and family, “All of us have a limit of X dollars...” this year, so no one can spend more than that. However, it seems highly competitive to make this announcement to level the paying field: No one dare be different. And isn’t this still focusing on monetary value, but in reverse?
