Health Tips
How do our brains
work as we age?
Researchers at the
Baycrest Centre for Geriatric
Care have studied the
aspects of aging on the brain
and offer some interesting
insights:
• Older brains use different
circuitry than younger brains
to get the same answer on
certain memory tests.
• Scientists recommend
that the work environment
for older persons should be
as free from distraction as
possible.
• Older adults are more mentally
alert in the morning.
• As we age, we experience
fewer negative emotions.

Choose milk for overall
health and a healthy mouth
If you regularly include dairy products as part of
a healthy diet, you’re not only providing your body
with the health-related benefits related to their consumption
— such as contributing to strong bones —
but helping your teeth to be
healthier as well.A study recently
published in the Journal of
Periodontology showed that routine
intake of dairy products such
as milk, cheese and yogourt might
lead to a reduction in periodontal
(or gum) disease. Researchers
observed that subjects that consumed
55 or more grams of products containing lactic
acid each day had a significantly lower prevalence
of periodontal disease.Periodontal disease is a chronic
bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone
supporting the teeth. Periodontal disease is a major
cause of tooth loss in adults, has been connected to
the development of heart disease and increased risk
of stroke, and can contribute to complications from
diabetes, respiratory disease or osteoporosis.

The “grapefruit effect”
interferes with some
medications
Compounds in grapefruit
inhibit the enzyme in
our intestine from metabolizing
some medications. If
you are taking medication
for high blood pressure, like
felodipine; statins to reduce
cholesterol; cyclosporine,
an immune suppressant; or
coumadin,an anticoagulant,
grapefruit juice should not
be consumed.
