A new study suggests that a fatty acid and other heart healthy monounsaturated fats found in olive oil can ward off hunger pangs.

According to the researcher, their findings may lead to the development of some new medicines to limit or enhance hunger.

Professor Daniele Piomelli from the University of California, Irvine, and his team injected the fat (named oleic acid) in to intestines of lab rodents and noted that the fat turned into a fat messenger known as oleoylethanolamide (OEA). …Click here to read more

According to Swedish scientists, adding fish to a child’s diet before nine months of age may decrease the risk of developing eczema.

Eczema is a painful skin condition that has considerably risen in European countries during the past few years. The scientists believe that diet also play a key role in this connection.

The study has been published in Archives of Disease in Childhood. …Click here to read more

According to Finnish researchers, risk of dementia as well as of stroke considerably decrease by eating tuna and other fatty fish.

The lead author of the study, Jyrki Virtanen of the University of Kuopio in Finland told that ‘silent’ brain lesions that often become the cause of memory loss and dementia occurred less in those people who ate baked or broiled fish high in omega-3 fatty acids.

“The results of some previous studies have shown that fish and fish oil is helpful to avoid stroke, but this is the first study of its kind that examines the effects of fish on brain lesions in older people,” Virtanen further added.

Fish like salmon, mackerel sardines, herring and other foods like walnuts are rich with omega-3 fatty acids. These foods have also shown an anti-inflammatory effect and related to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

In the study, the Finnish researchers examined the cases of those 3,660 people who aged 65 and older and went through brains scans five years. The researchers found that the people who consume omega-3-rich fish more than two times a week had almost 26 percent lower risk of silent brain lesions.

While people who consume one serving per week were found with 13 percent reduced risk than those who didn’t include such sort of fish in their diets. The study has been published in the journal Neurology.

However, the researchers added that fried fish, in some people, did not appear to have the same benefits.

The scientists from Venezuela and the United States of America have found an amazing factor that big breakfast including carbohydrates and protein and then containing low carbohydrate and little calorie diet for the rest of the day tended to be more and more successful remedial measure in losing fats and keeping healthy and smart. This plan is being designed for the domestic and job holder women.
