ANOTHER brilliant breakthrough in US medical thinking was recorded this week, when a 105-year-old COVID-19 survivor in New Jersey attributed her longevity to daily consumption of gin-soaked raisins.
Lucia DeClerck had just received her second coronavirus vaccine injection when diagnosed with COVID-19 about a month ago, but according to the administrator of her nursing home in Little Egg Harbor, she showed few symptoms and was back in her room within a couple of weeks.
While paying tribute to the jab's protective effects against coronavirus, DeClerck also gave some other health tips, including avoiding junk food, consistent prayer and using baking soda to brush your teeth.
And on top of that, comes the raisins. "Fill a jar...nine raisins a day, after it sits for nine days," she told the New York Post.
PIZZA is a better choice for breakfast than most cereals, according to an American nutritionist.
Chelsea Amer has conducted an analysis of the alternatives, and said the high sugar content in most breakfast cereals provides a burst of energy, but then often results in a "sugar crash" later in the day.
She noted that a bowl of cereal with milk contains nearly the same amount of kilojoules as an average slice of pizza, while the higher protein content of each slice means those who consume it are less likely to snack later on.
