Want to Protect Your Kids from Respiratory Infections? Try Vitamin C.

Kids are especially susceptible to respiratory infections. Tons of studies have established vitamin C’s ability to protect against respiratory infections in adults. But not much research has been done on vitamin C for kids. Until now.

The common cold, sore throat, sinusitis, pneumonia and bronchitis are all respiratory infections. Because kids have immature immune systems, they are especially susceptible. 14% of all deaths in kids under 5 are due to pneumonia.

This new study suggests that maintaining optimal levels of vitamin C can help.

The large study included 1,344 young people between the ages of 6 and 19. The results showed that higher levels of vitamin C were associated with a lower risk of respiratory infection. Compared to the group with the lowest levels of vitamin C, those with the highest had a significant 50% lower risk of respiratory infection.

The researchers conclude that the results “underscore the significance of maintaining optimal vitamin C levels.” They say the results “suggest that vitamin C supplementation may be potentially used for the prevention and treatment of RIs among children and adolescents.”

What Happens When You Put Two Great Blood Pressure Supplements Together?

Olive leaf extract and potassium have both individually proven their value for blood pressure. So, what happens when you put them together? Lots!

It’s crazy, but 22.6% of Canadian adults have high blood pressure. Crazier still is that nearly half of Americans over the age of 20 do. Worse, only 24% of Americans with high blood pressure have it under control.

This new double-blind study gave either an olive leaf extract-potassium combo or a placebo to 68 adults with mild to moderate high blood pressure. The supplement contained 1000mg of olive leaf extract standardized for at least 160 mg oleuropein and 300mg of potassium. The study lasted 12 weeks.

When blood pressure was monitored at home, diastolic blood pressure showed a trend to greater improvement than the placebo, but it did not reach significance. However, the more important systolic blood pressure dropped significantly more than the placebo. The drop in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure was clinically significant.

But that’s not all the natural supplement did. It significantly and clinically improved blood lipids, including a significant improvement in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides.

This study supports the use of a combination of olive leaf extract and potassium as a safe, effective natural aid for improving blood pressure and cholesterol, potentially helping to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Aromatherapy: Scent Yourself to Sleep

This meta-analysis included 10 studies of aromatherapy on people over 60 who suffered from sleep disorders.

All 10 studies showed a positive effect of aromatherapy on sleep. The combined meta-analysis revealed that the effect was significant compared to control groups.

There was also significant benefit for anxiety and depression.

The most commonly used aromatherapy was lavender, sometimes in combination with sweet orange and bergamot.

Is Magnesium Part of the Answer to Diabetic Retinopathy?

80% of diabetics are affected by diabetic retinopathy. New research suggests that low levels of magnesium could be an important contributor to this important problem.

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness. This new meta-analysis gives an important clue for how to prevent it.

This meta-analysis of studies on magnesium and diabetic retinopathy included 17 studies of 1100 diabetics with diabetic retinopathy and 1132 diabetics without diabetic retinopathy.

The important finding was that those with diabetic retinopathy had significantly lower levels of magnesium.

How big a finding could this be? The difference between the two groups was about 0.3 mg/dL of magnesium. Previous research has found that each 0.243 mg/dL increase in magnesium is associated with a 20% reduction in the risk of diabetic retinopathy, suggesting the potentially exciting clinical relevance of magnesium.

This new study reveals a significant association between magnesium levels and diabetic retinopathy and recommends that doctors and ophthalmologists “consider assessing and correcting magnesium levels in patients with diabetes.”

Bigger Muscles & Better Work Outs with B Vitamins

Sport and exercise are important. But strenuous exercise can damage and even injure your muscles. Muscle regeneration can be a slow process. New research is suggesting that a duo of B vitamins can speed it up.

After muscle damage, muscle regeneration is driven by muscle stem cells.

A just published double-blind, placebo-controlled study asked 39 men with an average age of 26.7 years to do a single session of damaging high intensity muscle contractions. It then gave them either a placebo or 714mg of B3 in the form of niacinamide and 19mg of B6 for 9 days.

The B vitamins was significantly more effective than placebo. Muscle stem cells were 29% higher, and regenerating muscle fibers were 37% higher. The B vitamins were safe and caused no adverse events.

There are no conventional treatments that specifically target muscle stem cells for promoting muscle repair and recovery. But this study shows that a combination of B3 and B6 enhances muscle stem cells and accelerates muscle regeneration and repair.

Probiotics Improve Cognitive Function in People with Mild Cognitive Impairment

A remarkable 42% of seniors are affected by mild cognitive impairment. There may be a tiny solution to this massive problem.

People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) experience cognitive decline greater than expected for normal aging, but not severe enough to significantly interfere with daily functioning.

Recent research has linked gut dysbiosis to alterations and imbalances in the gut-brain axis and to the initiation and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

This new study found that supplementing a strain of probiotic significantly improved Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale Cognition 13 total score and the memory sub-score, as well as executive function and processing speed, versus placebo in people with MCI.

Surprising Blood Sugar & Cognitive Benefits With Raspberries

Elevations in blood sugar, insulin and inflammation after eating is increasingly being linked to elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cognitive impairment. This new single-blind study hints that raspberries can help.

This study included 36 overweight people who were between 55 and 70. They were consuming a meal that was high in carbohydrates. Each of them took either 25g of freeze-dried raspberry powder or a placebo.

At the half hour mark, the raspberry powder significantly reduced peak glucose by 8%, insulin concentrations and overall insulin response versus placebo.

Cognitive performance also significantly improved on raspberry, including visual memory, learning and spatial memory.

The amount of raspberry powder used is equivalent to about one cup of fresh raspberries.

This surprising study suggests that supplementing raspberry powder can improve blood sugar, inflammation and cognitive performance after eating.
