Making nutrient-rich vegetables including leafy foods such as spinach or broccoli and orangish vegetables such as carrots even a small part of a child s daily diet reduced bad fats in the body
Fewer than 6 percent of children eat the USDA-recommended multiple servings of nutrient-rich vegetables most days according to the study that is published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
We found though even eating less than a full serving of these vegetables can really have pronounced a effect on children's health Davis says.

The semisoft suppository is made from the seaweed-derived food ingredient carrageenan. Women could use this method to protect against the spread of sexually transmitted infections during unprotected heterosexual intercourse the researchers say.
Zaveri pointed out that carrageenan was selected over gelatin (the traditional choice for semisoft suppositories) because it offers a number of important advantages.
Because carrageenan is plant-based it is acceptable to vegetarians there is no risk of animal-acquired infections
Also it is more stable than gelatin at higher ambient temperatures common in tropical regions of the world.

The new method spins the drug into silklike fibers that quickly dissolve when in contact with moisture, releasing higher doses of the drug than possible with other topical materials such as gels or creams

Researchers have found that taking food away from C. elegans triggers a state of arrested development:
while the organism continues to wriggle around foraging for food its cells and organs are suspended in an ageless quiescent state.
When food becomes plentiful again the worm develops as planned but can live twice as long as normal.
It is possible that low-nutrient diets set off the same pathways in us to put our cells in a quiescent state says David R. Sherwood an associate professor of biology at Duke university.
Over the last 80 years researchers have put a menagerie of model organisms on a diet
Outside the laboratory and in the real world organisms like C. elegans can experience bouts of feast or famine that no doubt affect their development and longevity.
Sherwood s colleague Ryan Baugh an assistant professor of medicine showed that hatching C. elegans eggs in a nutrient-free environment shut down their development completely.
when they took away food at various times throughout L3 and L4 development paused when the vulva was either at the three-cell stage or the 22-cell stage but not in between.
If the organism has enough nutrients its development can pass through to the next toll booth. If it doesn t have enough it stays at the toll booth until it has built up the nutrients necessary to get it the rest of the way.
Development isn t a continuous nonstop process says Schindler who is lead author of the study.
