Honey better than cough medicines

A new study released Monday by a research team at Pennsylvania state university found that honey may offer parents an effective and safe alternative than over-the-counter children"s cough medicines.

The study found that a small dose of buckwheat honey given before bedtime provided better relief of nighttime cough and sleep difficulty in children than no treatment or dextromethorphan (DM), a cough suppressant found in many over-the-counter cold medications.

Honey did a better job reducing the severity, frequency and bothersome nature of nighttime cough from upper respiratory infection than DM or no treatment.

Honey also showed a positive effect on the sleep quality of both the coughing child and the child"s parents.

In the contrast, DM was not significantly better at alleviating symptoms than no treatment, said the study.

Blueberries can ward off memory problems

Drinking two and a half cups of blueberry juice per day acts as a memory booster and improves age-related memory problems in seniors, a new study finds.
According to the study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, daily dose of wild blueberry improves memory in the elderly at risk of dementia.
The high phytochemical content of blueberries has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, the study found.
Anthocyanins, commonly found in the fruit, increase signaling in the areas of the brain involved in memory. They help slow the memory decline process through eliminating the glucose found in the brain.
‘The findings of this preliminary study suggest that moderate-term blueberry supplementation can confer neurocognitive benefit,’ concluded lead researcher Robert Kerkorian, stressing that the juice improved the drinkers performance in learning and memory tests.
