A wealth of health news today

Wow, yesterday I was hard pressed to find anything and today, the cup is overflowing. I'm sure you can find something in the list of stories, no matter what you're interested in.

Worried about osteoporosis? Apparently a carrot my help (A carrot a day could keep bone loss at bay: study) and if your male, your testosterone level may play a role in fracture risk: Low testosterone levels associated with risk of fracture in men over 60.

There's also news about a bigger push for the need to learn CPR (Unified national effort needed to save lives by increasing use of CPR), the importance of good nutrition (Undernourished stroke patients may have more complications, worse outcomes, Diets high in lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin E associated with decreased risk of cataracts). Happy reading!
