Monologue
Dr. Joel Wallach begins the show today discussing astronaut Scott Kelly who recently returned from the space station. Spending almost a year in space more days than anyone else. After tests it was found that his immure system was activated. As if reacting to an infection in the blood. His bone density has also down compared to his twin brother Mark Kelly who wasn’t in space. Doc asserts that space didn’t cause nutritional deficiencies but that he wasn’t getting the nutrients in his food.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article about a study of carotenoids. Researchers found that women who ate a lot of carotenoid laden foods reduced their risk of breast cancer by 33%. Carotenoids are commonly found in fruits and vegetables that are bright red, yellow and orange. They can also be found in some leafy greens like kale.
