According to the most recent health research reports, statins, including (I hope) red yeast rice, which I now take, fight cancer, diabetes and Parkinson's and, specifically, by lowering cholesterol, some types of prostate cancer. There's even more evidence statins fight Parkinson's. Statins also fight gallstones. Earlier reports showed many other benefits of statins.
Higher levels of 'good cholesterol' (HDL) seem to be protective for all cancers. But how to raise HDL? Exercise, alcohol, niacin. And statins! I've tried niacin, didn't like the flushing, but I may try again.
Here's more info on raising HDL.
Green tea, which has previously been shown to protect against many other types of cancer, now is reported to protect against oral cancer as well.
Worried about the flu? Red wine and anti-oxidants can fight it. Fiber strengthens the immune system as well.
Eating more plant-based foods,such as leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes. which are rich in substances called phytochemicals, seems to prevent oxidative stress in the body, a process associated with obesity and the onset of disease. The same foods help keep healthy bacteria in your gut and prevent diabetes.
Good news about coffee and fish oil and, of course, Vitamin D. (It fights off back aches and pains.)
And last but not least, scientific evidence for what we all knew: eating quickly leads to overeating.
