THE CAUSE OF psoriasis is not well understood, but it is known that your immune system plays a large part. If you have psoriasis, your T- cells (which are the cells found in your blood that form part of your body's natural defence) attack your healthy skin cells by mistake. This then triggers the immune system to produce new skin cells and also more T-cells.




The cycle of skin cell production becomes quicker and quicker. Skin cells are created and then die in the space of five to six days, instead of the normal 28 days. The dead skin cells build...]]></description>

Eating probiotics regularly could help lower blood pressure, reducing the risk
of heart disease and stroke. The live micro-organisms naturally occur in the gut but are also commonly found in yoghurt and dietary supplements. Researchers at the Griffith Health Institute and School of Medicine in Australia examined data from nine trials involving more than 540 participants.
They found consuming the live bacteria lowered people's blood pressure levels - particularly in those with higher readings.

It’s something we’ve suspected for many years, but now the proof is here! Researchers at the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institute followed 329 healthy people with an average age of 60. Participants underwent MRI scans and cognitive tests and were asked how often they read books, went to museums and played card games or did puzzles. People who played games or did puzzles most frequently were more likely to have greater brain volume in areas associated with Alzheimer’s and better scores in memory tests and thinking skills.

Young women who eat a healthy diet are less likely to develop clogged arteries. However the same benefit does not apply to men - and scientists don't know why, saying the phenomenon 'needs more investigation'.
