Vitamin in milk could prevent pain caused by chemotherapy

 A vitamin found in milk may be useful for treating or preventing nerve pain caused by chemotherapy drugs, says a study.

For the study, the researchers tested the effect of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, in female rats that were treated with paclitaxel, a chemotherapy commonly used to treat breast and ovarian cancer.

Although chemotherapies have improved cancer survival rates, many of these drugs also cause debilitating side effects that decrease the quality of life of patients and survivors.

In particular, many anti-cancer drugs cause chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) — nerve damage and pain.

“Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy can both hinder continuation of treatment and persist long after treatment has ended, severely affecting the quality of life of cancer patients,” said study first author Marta Hamity from University of Iowa in the US.

“Our findings support the idea that NR could potentially be used to prevent or mitigate CIPN in cancer patients, resulting in a meaningful improvement in their quality of life and the ability to sustain better and longer treatment,” Hamity said.

The findings, published in the journal Pain, lay the groundwork for testing whether this nutritional supplement can reduce nerve pain in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

Nicotinamide riboside boosts levels of an important cell metabolite called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+).

Previous animal studies have shown that increasing NAD+ levels with NR can protect against many types of nerve damage.

The new study found that the NR supplement increased levels of NAD+ in the rats’ blood by about 50 per cent.

 A new study has revealed that vitamin B3 derivative can cut risk of new skin cancers.

A year of treatment with nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, significantly lowered the risk of common, non-melanoma skin cancer in high-risk patients, according to University of Sydney research.

All 386 participants in the study had a history of skin cancer, increasing their risk for additional skin cancers. Taken as a twice-daily pill for 12 months, nicotinamide reduced the incidence of new non-melanoma skin cancers by 23 per cent relative to placebo controls and cut the incidence of pre-cancerous sun spots by around 15 per cent.

Nicotinamide is safe, affordable, and available over the counter in most countries. The findings have the potential to decrease the health burden and economic cost of skin cancer - the most common form of cancer in fair-skinned populations worldwide.

Senior author, Dr Diona Damian, said that they hope that these findings can be immediately translated into clinical practice. However, people at high risk of skin cancer still need to practice sun safe behaviour, use sunscreens and have regular check-ups with their doctor.

The study appears in New England Journal of Medicine.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE !

Irvine's  study proclaimed Alzheimer's mice 'cured' with no Alzheimer's symptoms , after 4 months of NO treatment, with Niacinamide. Human trials are under-way. But why wait? Niacinamide, the active form of Vitamin B 3, is inexpensive and available at health food stores.

Health benefits of PEANUTS

Peanuts or moongfali are crunchy to taste and easier on the pocket as compared to other nuts. A member of the legume family, along with peas and beans, peanuts are available throughout the year all across India. In terms of nutrition too, these pea-sized nuts pack a punch. Here are the top 10 health benefits of peanuts. 

Reduces risk of heart disease
70% of the urban Indian population is at risk of heart disease. This is an alarming percentage and the factors responsible are sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits and stress. Peanuts are rich in monosaturated fats and oleic acid which makes it good for your heart. Eat a handful every day, to keep heart disease at bay!

Prevents cancer
Peanuts have high concentration of a form of phytosterol called beta-sisterol which inhibits tumor growth, thus preventing you from having a deadly disease like cancer. Research has also linked the consumption of peanuts to a decreased risk of colon cancer. (Read: Top 10 food habits to prevent 

Boosts memoryVitamin B3 and niacin present in peanuts can boost your memory. Additionally, a flavonoid called reservatol can help in improving blood flow to the brain by 30%!

Helps fight depressionDepression is caused due to a lack of serotonin secretion in the brain. Peanuts have tryptophan which help release serotonin helping you fight depression.

Pregnant women are often confused about what they should eat. Peanuts could be a great option since a study has found that children whose mothers ate nuts (including peanuts) during pregnancy can decrease the risk of allergic diseases like asthma in children.

Good for growing children
What a child eats in his/her growing years will lay the foundation for his entire life! Peanuts are a good source of protein and have amino acids present in them which promotes growth. 

Eliminates toxins
Peanuts are loaded with fibre which helps in flushing out the excess toxins from your body making it great for your skin. Toxins are responsible for breakouts, excess oil on our skin. Additionally, peanuts have Vitamin C and Vitamin E which prevents wrinkles and signs of ageing.

Prevents gall stones
According to a study conducted over 20 years, eating just one ounce of peanuts every week can reduce the risk of developing gallstones by 25%. The study was conducted on 80,000 women making the results all the more convincing.

Prevents hair loss
Vitamin C present in peanuts help in the production of collagen, which keeps the tissues in our hair together. They also have l-arginine which is used in treating male pattern baldness, and omega 3 fatty acids which strengthens our hair follicles and promotes hair growth.
