Most people know that fruits and vegetables are essential staples of a healthy diet, and consuming plenty of them have been found to cut the risk of various cancers. However, most of those studies have focused on how fruit and vegetable consumption benefit the health of adults, but we know that a healthy start in life can protect people from diseases later on.
A new study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution suggests that consuming a long-term vegetarian diet may alter human DNA and make people more susceptible to some cancers and heart disease.
Men may be able to avoid embarrassing sexual problems by making sure they get plenty of flavonoids – important antioxidants – in their diet. Flavonoids provide anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic benefits. They’re found in fruits, vegetables, some teas and red wine.
If you’ve ever dreamed of having a hydroponic garden right in your very own home, IKEA wants to help make that happen. The company might be notorious for its assemble-it-yourself furniture, but now its new indoor gardening kit allows you to grow fresh produce at home without any soil or gardening experience.

The kits are part of the KRYDDA/VÄXER series, and were developed with the help of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. [1]

Hippocrates, the ‘father of modern medicine,’ has known for his quote ‘let food be thy medicine.’ Many of us live by that quote, and even doctors are adopting a more natural, holistic approach in the medical field.
One doctor in Houston, Texas takes that advice to heart. Instead of prescribing an infinite number of expensive pharmaceutical drugs to his patients, Dr. Garth Davis makes eating right the foundation for people’s health.
As part of the growing need to find sustainable ways to provide organic, quality food for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors, more young people have become interested in organic farming.
