The results of a recent study conducted at the University of Otago, in New Zealand, indicate that eating kiwifruit can make one feel better. This is accomplished in two ways: energy is increased and mood is improved. Over a period of six weeks, 54 young and healthy university students consumed kiwis on a daily basis. The study participants were split into two groups. The men in one group ate only half a kiwifruit each day, while everyone in the other group ate two kiwis per day. The researchers concluded that those who ate two kiwis per day experienced less fatigue (due to increased energy) and less depression than the other group. continue reading

Migraines are the worst type of headache. They can last hours and ruin your day. There are a number of prophylactic drugs designed to reduce migraine frequency but their results can be inconsistent and unpromising. This study published last November tested whether or not acupuncture had any effect in the prevention of migraines and the results were indeed promising. The study showed that in conjunction with prophylactic medication acupuncture significantly lessened the frequency of migraines. If you’re tired of letting migraines take over your whole day and force you into a dark room to wait it out, make an appointment with us and get on track to stop having them. http://aim.bmj.com/content/32/1/12.full
