For example diets high in calcium-rich foods have been shown to lower the risk of PMS but little was known about the role other minerals might play in preventing the symptoms.

The study found some evidence that a zinc intake of more than 15 milligrams a day was associated with a lower risk of PMS.

high intakes of this mineral were linked to a greater risk for PMS. We saw a 46 percent increase in the risk of PMS only among women with the highest level of intake

which was approximately 3700 milligrams a day. This was compared to women consuming the lowest amount

We were surprised to find that potassium intake was associated with a higher risk of PMS as this was

Common risk factors for stroke include high blood pressure high cholesterol and smoking. However previous studies indicate that these risk factors explain only half of the risk for stroke the researchers said.

Some studies have suggested that high levels of the amino acid homocysteine in the blood could potentially be a risk factor for vascular disease

which prompted researchers to examine whether Vitamin b supplements could reduce homocysteine levels and in turn lower stroke risk.

But such studies have mixed found results. Previous studies have conflicting findings regarding the use of Vitamin b supplements
