Compounds found in cocoa could help combat diabetes, say BYU researchers

What if eating chocolate helped prevent and treat diabetes? It's crazy enough to laugh off. But here's the thing: BYU researchers have discovered certain compounds found in cocoa can actually help your body release more insulin and respond to increased blood glucose better. Insulin is the hormone that manages glucose, the blood sugar that reaches unhealthy levels in diabetes.

A 10 minute brisk walk each day is all is needed to reduce risk of early death by 15%

A new study has found that adults aged 40 to 60 in England are not getting any notable physical activity. Only 4 in 10 individuals are walking less than 10 minutes continuously each month at a brisk pace. This means that they are missing the health benefits offered by routine physical exercise say the Public Health England in their evidence review.

Gut bacteria in Hadza diet different from ours study finds

Probiotics are one of the fastest growing areas for research as well as one of the valued members in the food industry. These are healthy bacteria or friendly bacteria that are added to yogurts, drinks, and baby food in order to colonize out gut when we are taking antibiotics or are down with an intestinal infection.
