Rice Bran Oil Protects the Brain

Vitamin E is an excellent antioxidant. It can exist in two forms-tocopherols and tocotrienols. The latter form is believed to offer more health benefits. Rice bran oil is an excellent source of tocotrienols. Much of the focus has been on gamma tocotrienols which have the ability to lower the blood cholesterol levels and thus, protect against coronary heart disease. Recent human experiments suggest that alpha tocotrienols which have been ignored so far are concentrated by the brain and thus, may play a major role in neuroprotection.

Love Hormone levels to Predict Longevity of Relationships

Oxytocin is a hormone secreted from the posterior pituitary gland. This hormone has been known to influence mammalian reproduction. It is involved in labor during childbirth where it promotes uterine contraction. Oxytocin is also having a role in the secretion of milk and plays an important role in milk ejection. Recent research suggests that this hormone may also have a role to play in orgasm. For this reason, this hormone has also been called the love hormone.

Some studies have indicated that this love hormone levels may be a useful index in determining the longevity of relationship between a man and a woman. Data indicates that when the relationship between a man and a woman remains strong, their oxytocin levels tend to be high. In contrast, in short-lived relationships, the oxytocin levels plummet.

Sleep Loss Weakens Immunity

People need to sleep between six and eight hours every day. When sleep is disturbed or, when sleep is lost on a continuous basis, several health complications can set in. A recent study suggests that sleep loss leads to sleep loss leads to the disruption of the biological clock and this, in turn, weakens the immune system. Thus, people who tend to develop sleep debt are prone to infections.

Vitamin D prevents Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the commonest form of dementia and is characterized by near total absence of memory. This disease is characterized by the presence of abnormal amyloid protein which blocks inter neuronal communication within the brain. This is done through formation of neuronal tangles. Research has shown that the formation of amyloid protein in the brain is decreased by the presence of adequate amounts of vitamin D. Vitamin D offers protection against Alzheimer’s disease by inhibiting the inflammatory process which attacks the brain.
