Spinach fights skin cancer

Carry an umbrella, put on your sunnies and apply sunscreen. Now add some leafy greens to your sun-protection regime.

An 11-year study of 1000 residents in Australia’s Sunshine Coast found those who ate leafy green vegetables at least three times a week were 55 percent less likely to develop squamous cell skin cancer.

Green leafy vegetables such as spinach and silverbeet were linked to a reduction in skin cancer, specially for participants who had a history of the disease. “These foods contain nutrients that are anti carcinogenic, says Dr Jolieke van der Pols of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. “Spinach contains folate, vitamins A, C and E, and carotenoids known to affect the skin’s response to sun damage.”

Help Improve Your Memory

Magnesium helps build bones, make proteins, release energy stored in muscles and regulate body temperature. Now, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers report a possible new role for magnesium: helping maintain memory function in middle age and beyond.

The adult daily nutritional requirement for magnesium, a trace mineral found in foods such as dark-green, leafy vegetables, is around 400 milligrams. But studies show that as many as half of us do not consume enough.

Associate Professor Guosong Liu and postdoctoral associate Inna Slutsky at MIT’s Picower Centre for Learning and Memory found that magnesium helps regulate a key brain receptor important for learning and memory. Their work provides evidence that a magnesium deficit may lead to decreased memory and learning ability.

According to the study, maintaining proper magnesium levels in the cerebrospinal fluid is essential for maintaining the brain’s ability to learn and remember.

The researchers have identified and are now studying several families of drugs that may restore learning and memory in animals.
