When life hands you a lemon...
Limonene, a component in the oils of lemon, orange and grapefruit skins, may confer a significant protective effect against some types of skin cancer. What’s more, there appears to be a dose-response relationship between the level of citrus peel in the diet and the degree of risk reduction. So go ahead and sprinkle lemon zest into stir-fries, baked goods and beverages!
Seeing Beyond Middle Age
The macula is an area of the retina in the back of our eyes that contains a high concentration of light-sensitive cells. In addition to being right in the centre of our vision, the cells here provide much of our sharp focus abilities and colour recognition.
Macular degeneration is any of an array of diseases and disorders that cause these vision cells to malfunction. Science is now showing that many of these problems are preventable, in part at least, with proper lifestyle care and supplementation with micronutrients.
