Can PDE4 Inhibitors Deliver the Benefits of Red Wine?
It’s long been held that the benefits of red wine, drinking a glass each day, can provide physical benefits to your cardiovascular health and help to ward off a variety of heart diseases.
Much more recently, it was discovered that red wine contains resveratrol, a compound many scientists believe capable of improving overall health and extending life, perhaps by as many as 10 or even 20 years.
Unfortunately, the levels of resveratrol in red wine are actually extremely minimal, meaning that you’d need to consume about 1,000 bottles per day in order to see any significant benefits. Of course, doing so would leave you with far more health problems than resveratrol could ever cure (not to mention the fact that it’s physically impossible).
The good news is that a new study is indicating that the same benefits provided by a large dose of resveratrol may already be available in the form of drugs known as PDE4 inhibitors, also known as phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitors. Although the study involved mice, researchers are hopeful that the results will transfer to humans..

Losing Weight? Watch Calories, not Carbs or Fat, Study Says
Over the years, countless fad weight loss diets of all kinds have touted the weight loss benefits and effectiveness of restricting all carbohydrates while consuming a diet high that is only high in protein, or restricting fat and allowing carbohydrates, or cutting out all sugar while allowing anything else.
However, a newly published clinical study is indicating that the real (and only) variable related to safely and effectively losing weight is counting the total number of calories consumed, regardless of their source. In other words, the study concluded that a 1,500-calorie-per-day diet will result in roughly the same amount of weight loss whether those 1,500 calories were derived from protein, carbohydrates or fat. (Caveat: consuming too much fat will still raise your risk of certain diseases, including heart disease.)

Undergoing Surgery? Avoid Tryptophan, Study Says
A new study that was conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health is indicating that if you’re about to go under the knife, foods to avoid before surgery include any with tryptophan, the amino acid that was once believed to cause tiredness after eating a large portion of turkey.
In the study, mice that abstained from consuming any form of tryptophan for one to two weeks prior to surgery experienced better survival odds and less kidney damage than mice that consumed their regular diets.
According to Dr. James R. Mitchell, a professor of complex diseases and genetics and one of the lead researchers behind the study, the findings could have a big impact on pre-surgical protocol and procedures.
However, it is not yet known whether the results, which have so far only been achieved in mice, will translate directly to humans. Mitchell said that the ultimate goal of the research is to determine the most optimal diet for those about to endure the physical and mental stress of surgery.

New USDA Mandates to Require Healthier School Lunches
With the obesity epidemic showing no signs of slowing down, one of the hottest topics in the news as of late has been healthier school lunches throughout the United States.
Individuals ranging from television chef Jamie Oliver to First Lady Michelle Obama have sharply criticized school lunch programs for their tendency to serve meals that are packed with highly processed foods, fat, sugar and sodium while lacking in a variety of important vitamins and minerals.
New school lunch standards adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will begin to address and change all of that, as schools will be required to follow a stricter set of guidelines dictating the portions and types of foods served to America’s children and teens.

Feeling Moody and Fatigued? Have a Glass of Water
Everyone occasionally finds themselves in the following scenario: with the work day wearing on, you realize it’s nearly lunchtime and you haven’t had a single drink of water all day. You’re feeling tired, physically and mentally fatigued, and the pencil tapping of your coworker in the next cubicle is quickly driving you insane. After having a long drink of water, you suddenly feel reinvigorated and refreshed, and you’re able to easily cope with the remaining hours of work.
