For Acid Reflux, Mediterranean Diet May Be Just As Helpful As Prescription Meds

Description

For people with acid reflux, a mostly vegetarian diet may be just as helpful as medication. Laryngopharyngeal reflux is a condition where stomach acids habitually back up into the throat--distinct from GERD, aka heartburn. Lead researcher Dr. Craig Zalvan found patients who followed a 90% vegetarian Mediterranean diet saw a 'clinically meaningful' improvement in their symptoms. Patients followed a healthy plant-based diet. They also avoided acid-forming foods such as coffee, tea, alcohol, and fatty foods.

Mediterranean Diet Lowers Risk For Erectile Dysfunction

Up to 15% of American men experience erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. According to new research, what a man eats may play a role in the condition. According to UPI, a healthy diet can reduce men's risk for ED by more than 20%. Men who followed the Mediterranean Diet were 22% less likely to develop erectile dysfunction. An 18% reduction in ED was seen in men over 60, who ate Mediterranean Diet foods. While a 7% reduction in ED risk was seen in men over 70 years old who ate a healthy diet. The Mediterranean diet centers on vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, beans, and whole grains.

Study: Statins Deliver More Bang For The Buck In The Elderly

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says up to 29% of all adults in the United States, or about 70 million people, have high cholesterol. In addition to lifestyle changes around diet and exercise, prescription statin drugs can help control high cholesterol, which is liked to cardiovascular disease. Now, a new study reveals older adults benefit from statins at least as much as young people in reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart disease. According to UPI, researchers say that for every 80 people age 80 to 100 who take statins, one heart attack will be prevented. In contrast, three times that number of people between ages 50 and 59 would need to take the drugs to prevent one heart attack. Similarly, a second analysis shows statins reduce the risk for heart attack and stroke in people over 75 by 26% for every one-point reduction in LDL cholesterol.
