Coffee: What’s the scoop on its health effects?
Over the years, coffee’s been linked to illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. But for every study that implicates coffee as a possible health risk, another seems to find no such link.

Garlic: Research into health benefits continue
Garlic may ward off more than vampires, according to an increasing body of research on the disease–fighting properties of this pungent herb. Garlic contains many elements and compounds including vitamins A and C, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur (including 75 different sulfur compounds), selenium and a number of amino acids.

Going Vegetarian–The healthy way
You’ve decided: That succulent prime rib you ate last night will be your last. You’re going to become a vegetarian. There was a time when being a vegetarian was considered radical or eccentric. Today, quite a large percentage of people call themselves vegetarians, and nutrition experts say a plant–based diet has some powerful health benefits.

Eating well when you don’t feel well
Your diet is especially important when you are ill. Eating the right kinds and amounts of foods can help you heal, feel better and become stronger. During an illness, your nutritional needs are at their peak. Fever burns away calories and fluids that are ordinarily used for normal body functions. Surgery or radiation therapy increase the need for most nutrients–especially protein–so that healing can occur. Other treatments including chemotherapy, dialysis and even some medications may result in nutrient imbalances that require specific replacement.
