Study Finds That Plant-Based Diets May Be Better for Heart Health

A recent study has discovered that diets rich in plant foods are better than low-fat diets when it comes to decreasing the risk of stroke and heart disease. The study monitored more than 5,000 Americans, with the scientists finding that individuals who ate diets low in saturated fat had lower LDL levels. Saturated fat is known to increase LDL cholesterol levels and is mostly found in animal products. LDL cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein, is considered a bad cholesterol as it contributes to fatty buildup in the arteries. However, the researchers note that lower LDL levels didn’t translate to a lower risk…

Danish Researchers Discover That Medical Marijuana May Combat Essential Tremor

There is huge debate on what medicinal properties, if any, marijuana possesses, and researchers are working to uncover the effects of this substance. For example, a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark has discovered that medical marijuana has the ability to reduce involuntary shaking or essential tremor. Their research used a mouse model. The team’s work focused on a synthetic cannabinoid WIN55.212-2. The scientists found that when the mice were injected with this cannabinoid, astrocytes or support cells found within the brain and spinal cord of the mice were activated. When those support cells are activated,…
