Eating More Magnesium Each Day Keeps Dementia At Bay

New scientific research has found that attending live sporting events improves levels of well-being and reduces feelings of loneliness.

Published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health, the research is the first large-scale study to examine the benefits of attending any type of live sporting event.

A review of dozens of studies from the last decade, led by researchers at the University of Toronto and Harvard University, recently found that sugar-sweetened beverages promote weight gain in children and adults.

According to Professor Roy Taylor, their research has shown that:

•   Type 2 diabetes is caused by a small amount of excess fat inside the liver and inside the pancreas
•   It is a potentially reversible condition
•   If a person has type 2 diabetes, they have become too heavy for their own body (nothing to do with the arbitrary concept of obesity)
•   Weight loss of around 15kg is necessary for most people
•   This can be achieved using a simple 3-step method: the 1, 2, 3 of diabetes reversal
•   Type 2 diabetes is most easily reversed to normal in the early years after diagnosis
•   How and why type 2 diabetes happens can now be understood

Changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer's disease are associated with shortening of the telomeres -- the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that shorten as cells age -- according to a new study led by Anya Topiwala of Oxford Population Health, part of the University of Oxford, UK, published March 22 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE.
