Consuming fruits have always been fruitful. In a recent study, it was discovered that eating grapes can contribute a lot in lowering down one’s blood pressure.

A study, which was conducted by the Biological Sciences, University of Michigan came out with a report in the October issue of Journal of Gerontology that grapes have a potential of reducing cardiovascular diseases. 

A recent study presented to the American Public Health Association by Janice Sabin of the University of Washington in Seattle stated that the doctors subconsciously favored whites over blacks. To quote Sabin "This supports speculation that subtle race bias may affect health care, but does not imply that it will". Although the study did show a common racial bias among the general population, quoting Sabin "but we have to remember people are not racist if they hold an implicit bias."

Washington, Oct 29 : Wondering how to treat your kid’s cough and cold without using medicines? Well, a little honey and lemon in hot water will do the trick for your little one, says a leading health expert.

Parents concerned about the safety and effectiveness of over-the-counter pediatric cough and cold medicines often opt for home remedies.

“A cold is caused by a virus that cannot be killed by an antibiotic,” said Jacqueline Kaari, a pediatrician and chair of pediatrics at the UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine.

“Nothing, including over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, will make it go away faster, but you can treat the symptoms,” she added.

Washington, Oct 29 : A new research, which found racial and ethnic disparities in patient health-care experiences, claims that Asians have worse experiences than white patients in US.

The survey involving 49,000 patients showed that Asian and Pacific Islander patients have worst experiences than white patients, within the same practices.

"Our findings suggest that there are statistically significant ethnic disparities in physician-patient communication, access to care, and care coordination, even among comparably insured patients in a variety of health-care markets," said Dr. Hector Rodriguez, lead author and assistant professor of health services at the UW School of Public Health and Community Medicine.

London, Oct 29 : While sunlight can cause wrinkles, the red glow from LEDs may help smooth them out, finds a new study.

A light-emitting-diode (LED) is a semiconductor diode that emits light when an electric current is applied in the forward direction of the device, as in the simple LED circuit.

The red LEDs do this by altering the interactions between water and elastic proteins in the skin.

In a new study, Andrei Sommer and Dan Zhu of the University of Ulm in Germany, found how water molecules in the skin interact with different substances.
