Reduce your risk of cognitive decline by 70%

I mentioned on Wednesday that Tai Chi is a great way to reduce stress and possibly prevent and even help cure diabetes. But there's a lot more benefit that this ancient personal art can deliver. New research suggests it might actually enhance cognitive ability.

Are these heart drugs making you fat?

If you're over the age of 65 and you've noticed you're putting on a little weight, it could be one of the drugs you're taking.

The drugs are statins. You probably already know how much I dislike statin drugs. I have written about this many times in the past. I am not against drugs in general. But these drugs fall into the category of drugs that have nothing to offer and are dangerous at the same time. So why am I not surprised that a new study shows yet another negative effect of statin drugs?

If stress causes diabetes... there may be a cure

Did you know stress can lead to diabetes? Not only is it true, but it's possible that this discovery may lead to a cure.

That's right! A new theory is emerging about diabetes that might lead to actual cures of the problem. Researchers are looking at normally functioning pancreas beta cells in rats. These cells can de-differentiate into more primitive non-hormone producing cells. These new cells are progenitor cells, which have simply "gone to sleep." The researchers wanted to know what caused the change. The answer? Stress.
