Indole-3-Carbinol: The powerful anticancer agent in cruciferous vegetables
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a bioactive compound derived from glucobrassicin in cruciferous vegetables. It is formed when crucifers are chopped, chewed or cooked. I3C is said to modulate estrogen metabolism, potentially reducing hormone-related cancers (e.g., breast, prostate). I3C activates pathways like Nrf2 to combat oxidative stress and inflammation. It also supports the activities of liver detox […]

Curiosity could be the key to preventing cognitive decline in aging adults
A UCLA study challenges the belief that curiosity fades with age, showing that certain types of curiosity may protect against cognitive decline in older adults. Trait curiosity (general inquisitiveness) declines with age, while state curiosity (situational interest) increases, as older adults explore personal interests more freely. The study found that higher state curiosity correlates with […]
