Vegetables may help protect elderly women from hardening of neck arteries

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/04/180404093953.htm

Elderly women are now eating more vegetables daily than usual to protect their artery walls from becoming thick. With a certain amount of cruciferous vegetables per day it lowers the average artery wall thickness from occurring. After the lifestyle changes results continued to show a protective connection between cruciferous vegetables and cartoid artery wall thickness. Due to observational nature this study can not be accepted, but it is still important to increase the amount of cruciferous vegetable intake to avoid vascular disease.

    Interesting to see how vegetables can actually impact humans so much compared to McDonald's big macs. Although this article may not be completely accepted it is really cool to see the impacts these women had.

    It is interesting how greatly a single type of food, let alone the overall diet, can effect a person's health. Even though this particular example is only a observational study, eating more vegetables and less processed food is clearly linked to better health. If this one category of vegetables can have such benefits in relation to carotid artery wall thickness, and subsequently the potential for stroke and heart attack, what other foods/plants could help to limit the possibilities of specific health problems.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
