Magnesium Prevents Old Age

The October issue of Men's Health talked about the benefits of certain foods in the magazine's Nutrition section. Cashews and black beans were mentioned as two foods that can prevent magnesium deficiency. We need to maintain proper levels of magnesium to prevent cell degeneration and old age related diseases.

Aspirin Benefits

The September issue of Men's Health magazine had an excellent small article on the benefits of aspirin. Dr. Peter Rothwell said that "aspirin may prevent cancer by affecting the way DNA repairs itself." "His recent study in the Lancet showed that people who took a daily aspirin for at least 4 years reduced their risk of dying of any kind of cancer over the next 20 years by 34 percent."

This sounds like a good plan to me. However, if a person has a problem with internal bleeding, then another solution would be needed. Fortunately, we have many health publications nowadays to help us, and a lot of additional information is on the internet.
