Cooked carrots known to trigger allergic reactions

Researchers from Irish universities carried out a study with 68 adults and found that gratitude has a unique stress-buffering effect on both reactions to and recovery from acute psychological stress, which can contribute to the improvement of cardiovascular health.

The study found how people with electrolyte abnormalities were twice as likely to be diagnosed with an eating disorder. Those with severe irregularities were five times more likely to be diagnosed.

According to researchers, a type of dietary fibre called inulin, which is used in health supplements and have certain anti-inflammatory properties, can also promote an allergy-related type of inflammation in the lung and gut, as well as other parts of the body.

Washington [US], August 28 (ANI): Researchers found that people with dietary allergies experience minor symptoms when exposed to triggering foods, others experience potentially disastrous consequences. Butyrate, a bacterial compound produced by healthy microbiomes, has shown promise in laboratory studies against allergic reactions, but it is unpleasant to consume orally. Researchers describe a more palatable way to give this medicine and show that their "polymeric micelles" are effective against peanut allergies in mice.

Researchers explain a more palatable method of administering this drug and reveal that their "polymeric micelles" are effective against peanut allergies in mice.

New Delhi [India], July 30 (ANI): Abdul Halim Sharar, in his classic work 'Last Phase of an Oriental Culture' has provided a vivid description of exotic dishes prepared by the bawarchi employed by Nawabs of Lucknow. He mentions a khichdi cooked with almonds slivers and bits of pistachio substituted for grains of rice or mung lentils. It was so heavy that even a wrestler employed in the court could not have more than a couple of mouthfuls after a workout. Nuts have always inspired legend and lore creating a mystique around them.

Georgia [US], July 16 (ANI): Women often have higher rates of illness while living longer on average than males. A better diet rich in pigmented carotenoids, such as those found in yams, kale, spinach, watermelon, bell peppers, tomatoes, oranges, and carrots, is now suggested by recent research from the University of Georgia as a way to reduce these incidences of illness. These colourful fruits and vegetables play a crucial role in minimising cognitive and visual decline.

New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): Ever since our prehistoric ancestors stumbled upon the joys of accidentally cooked food, there had been no let-up in inventions of implements that reduce the drudgery in the kitchen. The art and science of cooking have explored new horizons with gadgets and gizmos that sizzle. We have come a long way from a pair of palaeolithic knives, mortar n pestle, grinding stone and tongs, to air fryers, smart slow cookers, sophisticated food processors and even fully automated fulka-making machines.

Washington [US], June 16 (ANI): UBC researchers demonstrated in 2019 that pre-schoolers can safely overcome peanut allergies with a treatment called oral immunotherapy. Now they have evidence that the earlier pre-schoolers start this treatment, the better.
