When it comes to powerhouse foods, nothing beats eggs which are high in the vital cholesterol your body needs to produce testosterone, progesterone, estrogen and other hormones.
Eating eggs regularly could protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD) the most common cause of blindness among the over-50s reports the journal Clinical Nutrition.
Australian researchers monitored 3,654 people over 15 years and found that those who reported eating two to four eggs a week had a 49 per cent reduced risk of ‘incident late AMD’ in that time, compared to those who ate less than one egg a week.
Eggs are a naturally rich source of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which could modify AMD progression.
Magnetic therapy is effective for depression that has not responded to other treatments, according to research from Cornell University in the U.S.
The Journal of Affective Disorders reports that patients who had three sessions of low-dose magnetic therapy had nearly twice as much improvement as those given a placebo.
The treatment, where the patient lies on their back with their head inside a device that produces the stimulation, showed improvements after two days of treatment.
‘This is the first study to demonstrate mood-enhancing effects of this therapy in treatment-resistant depression,’ said the researchers. It’s thought to work by making nerve cells more active, and improving brain connections.

Eggs contain vitamin D, amino acids, and other essential vitamins (A, E, K, and multiple B vitamins) that help boost HGH production. People who eat eggs every day tend to lose weight faster than those who do not consume this healthy form of protein.
