Unraveling the Mystery: Can Weather-Related Pressure Changes Affect Your Joints?

  Many people with arthritis or other joint conditions claim they can predict changes in the weather based on how their joints feel. While it may sound like folklore, there is some scientific evidence to support the idea that weather-related pressure changes can indeed impact joint health and cause discomfort for some individuals. Let's explore this phenomenon further and uncover the potential link between weather and joint pain. 1. The Barometric Pressure Connection: Barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure, refers to the pressure exerted by the weight of the air molecules in the atmosphere. Changes in barometric pressure occur in response to weather patterns such as changes in temperature, humidity, and altitude. Some researchers believe that fluctuations in barometric pressure can affect the fluid inside joints, causing expansion or contraction of tissues and triggering pain signals in sensitive individuals. 2. Scientific Studies: While anecdotal evidence abound

Mushrooms may protect against prostate cancer

 Резултат слика за Mushrooms may protect against prostate cancer
A study published online Sept. 4, 2019, by the International Journal of Cancer showed a possible connection between regular mushroom consumption and a lower risk of prostate cancer.
The researchers recruited more than 36,000 men ages 40 to 79. They recorded various health information, such as physical activity, family and medical history, and diet. Information on diet included 39 foods and beverages. The men were then followed for a period ranging from 13 to almost 25 years.
The researchers found that men who consumed mushrooms once or twice a week — an average of about 3 ounces per serving — had an 8% lower risk of prostate cancer compared with those who ate no mushrooms. And among men who ate mushrooms three or more times per week, risk was 17% lower. Another upside: the link held regardless of the men's intake of other vegetables and fruit or how much meat and dairy they consumed.
The findings cannot prove cause and effect, but the study's authors suggest that mushrooms' high levels of ergothioneine, an antioxidant and potential cancer preventive, may play a factor. Shiitake, oyster, maitake, and king oyster mushrooms have the highest concentrations of ergothioneine.Source
