Researchers in Ireland have shown that it is possible to grow three highly nutritious kinds of seaweed through sustainable industrial-scale cultivation. They have grown Laminaria digitata (a brown seaweed “kelp”) grown “very successfully” on longlines in Roaring Water Bay, in southwestern Ireland.
A three-year Irish project to grow three valuable species of seaweed with valuable nutritional properties in an aquaculture environment has shown that sustainable industrial-scale cultivation is viable, say researchers.
Seaweed is purported to lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, fight obesity, promote healthy digestion, and tackle free radicals.
Seaweed also contains nutrients that are vital to eye health and maintaining good vision, including vitamin A and vitamin C. Learn more about food sources for other nutrients that benefit the eyes at our website.

AGEs come from foods that are processed, heated to high temperatures, sugary, or browned. When these foods are eaten too often, AGE levels increase and build up in the body. This can cause damage to the internal organs and accelerate the aging 
Researchers have found that the anti-diabetic drug metformin reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines. When inflammatory cytokines are produced in excess, they cause inflammation that increases cancer risk and the incidence of other diseases.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended that the block-buster sleeping pill Ambien (zolpidem) dose be lowered, especially for women, due to negative side-effects. The drug stays in women’s system much longer than in men’s. Too many car accidents the day after taking Ambien have lead to the government agency to halve the recommended dose for women, and re-consider the dose for men.
A significant study has found that the deleterious effects of traumatic brain injury in American football players can be mitigated using a natural regimen of weight loss (if needed), fish oil, vitamins, and brain-enhancing supplements including ginkgo biloba. The positive results could help reverse brain damage in contact sport athletes, alcohol and drug addicts, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and people who have had brain damage from concussions.
