The two were hiding in a feeding station, a spot where Goodall and her team sometimes handed bananas out to passing chimps.

Goodall then made eye contact with Dilly and held up a single banana. It was as if a signal passed between her and Dilly,

but simply as Goodall placed the banana outside on the ground. Then Dilly quietly made her way to the fruit

downed it in three bites, and just as quietly returned to the snoring Beethoven. Â Not only did Dilly appear to infer Goodall's intention in leaving the banana for her,

but she also understood that Beethoven would gobble up the banana himself if given half a chance.

By stifling her food call, she could keep Beethoven in the dark, none the wiser about her illicit snacking.

just as Dilly knew not to let Beethoven catch her eating that banana. Even though the dominant couldn't see the food,

The reason cranberries are thought to be special is that they contain substances called proanthocyanidins which are thought to prevent bacteria from sticking to the wall of the bladder.

Apple and grape juice and dark chocolate also contain proanthocyanidins, but not the right kind. So it is plausible that drinking cranberry juice could help to prevent cystitis.

A systematic review of studies published last year found that products containing cranberries reduced the risk of infection,

Juice seemed to be more effective than tablets containing cranberry, possibly because the active substances are absorbed more easily.

 All 24 studies involved a group of people taking some kind of cranberry product, whether in juice

cranberries were no more effective than drinking extra water, a placebo or even doing nothing. The review authors concede that some small studies showed an effect,

but without containing any cranberries. The placebo was made for the study by the cranberry juice manufacturers Ocean Spray.

Drinking cranberries made no difference to the recurrence of infections. The earlier review had excluded this study

#Eating Almonds Can Help the Body Fight off Viruses Eating almonds boosts immune system response to viruses.

Eating almonds can help the body to fight off viral infections such as the common cold and flu, according to new research.

They discovered that even after the almonds had been digested in the gut there was still an increase in the immune systems defence against viruses.

They said although they have still to carry out research on how many almonds must be eaten to obtain a beneficial effect,

it was likely that eating almonds regularly could help protect people from becoming infected with viruses in the first place,

and was funded by the Almond Board of California, found that even after digestion in a laboratory simulation of a human gut,

the almonds skins were still able to increase the immune response. They tested the immune response to infection by the Herpes simplex virus 2,

which is common process to remove skins from almonds, had little effect on the immune system.

oeit is an area of huge interest to find natural alternatives that will have an antiviral activity. oenutritional guidelines recommend eating around three ounces a day to benefit from the fibre and other nutritional components in almonds,

if almond skins have this antiviral activity. oethe herpes simplex virus is a very good model of viral infection

so because the almonds had an impact on this virus, it is fair to assume that it will have an impact on other viruses.

#Watermelon May Cut the Risk of Heart attacks and Strokes Watermelon lowers blood pressure. A dose of watermelon a day could help keep high blood pressure at bay.

Researchers have discovered that the fruit is rich in compounds that widen blood vessels -and may cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

And a daily fix of its juices could be enough to lower blood pressure in patients suffering from hypertension, according to a study.

High blood pressure, which affects more than 16million men and women in the UK, doubles the risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke and is blamed for more than 60,

But watermelon is an edible source of L-citrulline-a compound vital in the production of nitric oxide,

or slightly more than a teaspoonful, of L-citrulline extracted from watermelons. All of those taking part had pre-hypertension,

-and-a-half watermelons a day to achieve the same effect. Dr Arturo Figueroa of Florida State university, said:

The researchers found that watermelons with orange flesh contain more L-citrulline than those with red flesh.

Watermelon is also a good source of potassium, which is thought to lower blood pressure. And lycopene, the pigment that gives the fruit its colour,

is credited with a host of health benefits, from warding off cancer to boosting fertility. Fortunately for those who arent fond of the fruit

the L-citrulline compound can also be bought in pill form. Via Daily mail Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorati T

#Bras Used To Help Support Massive Melons Vine breaking galia melons now supported with bra power Fruity farmer Rowie Meers has found the perfect way to support her giant melons using old bras.

#Organic Strawberries Have Better Taste and Nutrition Than Conventional According to a New Study Organic strawberries In the tug of war over whether organic farming is really better than conventional chemical-laden farming,

a new study in the online peer-reviewed journal PLOS One comes out solidly in support of the benefits of organic.

Self-described as the most comprehensive study of its kind, researchers from Washington state University found that commercial organic farms produce was more flavorful and nutritious strawberries,

as well as the taste, nutrition and quality of three strawberry varieties on 13 organic farms and 13 chemical farms in California, where 90%of the US strawberry crop is grown.

The organic strawberries had significantly higher antioxidant activity and concentrations of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds.

The organic strawberries had longer shelf life. The organic strawberries had more dry matter, or, oemore strawberry in the strawberry.

Anonymous testers, working at times under red light so the fruit color would not bias them, found one variety of organic strawberries was sweeter,

had better flavor, and once a white light was turned on, appearance. The testers judged the two other varieties to be similar.

As far as soil quality goes, DNA analysis showed the organically managed soils to have more total and unique genes,

as well as greater genetic diversity. Organic soils also were superior in carbon sequestration, microbial biomass, enzyme activity, and micronutrients.
