A groundbreaking Harvard study involving 92,000 adults has revealed a simple daily habit that could dramatically protect your brain. Researchers found that consuming just half a tablespoon of olive oil every day reduces the risk of dying from dementia by an astonishing 28%.

Olive oil is packed with powerful antioxidants and healthy fats that support brain function and help fight inflammation, two major factors linked to cognitive decline. Incorporating it into your diet could be one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your memory and long-term brain health.

Experts recommend adding olive oil to salads, drizzling it over vegetables, or using it in cooking to enjoy its full benefits. Even small amounts consistently can have a big impact over time, making this a simple yet powerful tool in dementia prevention.

With dementia affecting millions worldwide, findings like this provide hope and a practical step everyone can take today. Prioritising brain-healthy foods, staying active, and maintaining a balanced diet can help you preserve mental sharpness well into older age.

A new study highlights a powerful way to support children with ADHD: eliminating processed foods from their diet. Researchers found that removing artificial additives, preservatives, and ultra-processed snacks led to a 53% reduction in ADHD symptoms, including hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.

Processed foods are often high in sugar, artificial colours, and chemicals that can affect brain function and behaviour. By switching to a diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and natural proteins, children not only benefit physically but also show significant improvements in focus, mood, and cognitive performance.

This research reinforces the growing understanding that nutrition plays a crucial role in mental health and neurological development. For parents seeking natural strategies to support their children, dietary changes can be a highly effective tool in managing ADHD symptoms. Healthy eating isn’t just about physical growth, it can profoundly impact brain function and behaviour.

Yes, va**ng is toxic.
A U.S. teen developed "popcorn lung" after secretly va**ng for three years — a permanent, life-altering disease.
Officially known as bronchiolitis obliterans, the condition scars the lungs' tiniest airways, causing chronic coughing, wheezing, fatigue, and breathlessness. Although once linked to diacetyl exposure in popcorn factories, today's concern focuses on the wide mix of chemicals in e-cigarette vapours. Many flavouring agents, which are safe to eat, become harmful when heated and inhaled, directly damaging lung tissue and entering the bloodstream without filtration.
Va**ng has become especially popular among teenagers drawn to sweet, fruity flavours, creating a serious health risk. Over 180 flavouring agents are used in e-liquids, and heating them can produce unknown and toxic compounds.
Even though diacetyl has been removed from some products, substitutes like acetoin may be just as dangerous. Inhaled chemicals bypass the digestive system and liver, reaching the lungs and other organs in seconds. This direct exposure has been linked to other lung injuries too, like the Evali crisis of 2019. Studies show young va**rs report more breathing problems, even compared to smokers. Experts stress that without stronger regulations, clearer labeling, better ingredient testing, and public education, cases like this teen's could become more common. Va**ng might look harmless, but inhaling these chemical mixtures can cause permanent, life-shortening damage — a reality that needs urgent attention.

🛑 Va**ng may look trendy, but it could permanently damage your lungs. It’s not just smoke — it’s science.
