Did you know that...
.....alcohol may improve men's sex lives? The belief that drinking
makes it more difficult for men to maintain erections is false. Men who drink
within safe guidelines - no more than 20 drinks per week - report 30% fewer
erection problems than men who do not drink.
Keogh Institute for Medical Research, Perth, Australia, in a study of 1,580
men, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
.....Eating three 100 calorie servings of dark chocolate per week
lowers chronic inflammation by 17% and cuts heart disease risk by 26%? Caution:
eating more chocolate may increase risk.
Laboratory of Genetic and Environmental Epidemiology, Catholic University,
Campobasso, Italy, in a study of 10,994 people, published in The Journal of
Nutrition.
.....Women who take longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep have a
higher risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Reason: These women tend to
have higher levels of insulin...inflammatory proteins that are linked to heart
disease...and fibrinogen, a protein that is associated with stroke and heart
attack. Best: If you often have difficulty sleeping, talk to your doctor about
the risks and ways to fall asleep.
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, in a study of 210
people, published in Brain, Behavior and Immunity.
.....Increase green tea's cancer fighting power by adding three
tablespoons of orangek, lemon or lime juice to one cup of the hot tea. Reason"
These juices improve the stability of the cancer-fighting antioxidants and make
them more available for absorption.
Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, published in Journal of
Molecular Nutrition and Food Research.
.
....Viagra may help women who experience sexual dysfunction caused by
the antidepressants they take. Recent finding: 72% of women who took Viagra
because of antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction experienced improvement,
compared with 27% of women who took a placebo. There were no serious side
effects among women using Viagra.
University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, published in The
