Boost Your Flu Vaccines Effectiveness: Cut Out Red Meat and Butter, New Research Suggests
If you want to maximize the benefits of your flu vaccine, new research suggests that cutting out red meat and butter from your diet might be a good idea. A recent study conducted on obese mice revealed that feeding them a low-fat diet prior to vaccination improved their ability to fight off the flu virus.
A low-fat diet focuses on consuming foods where only 30 percent of calories come from fat, according to the American Cancer Society. This includes items like skim milk, lean meats such as chicken, whole grains, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. The study found that a low-fat diet not only leads to significant and sustained weight loss but also strengthens the immune system.
Vaccinations work by training the body’s defense cells to recognize and combat viral material, which is why they are effective when introduced to a healthy immune system. However, overweight individuals are twice as likely to catch the flu compared to average weight individuals, even when both groups have been vaccinated, according to research from the Human Vaccine Institute.
In 2023, approximately 370,000 Americans were hospitalized due to the flu, and around 24,000 people died from the virus,

The Controversy Surrounding the Nutri-Score: A Political and Scientific Failure
The sanctification of the Nutri-Score organized by the Belgian Presidency today has sparked a debate on its effectiveness and implications. Critics argue that the Nutri-Score is not a solution to obesity but rather a political and scientific failure.
The Nutri-Score, a labeling system that assigns a color-coded grade to food products based on their nutritional content, has been promoted as a way to help consumers make healthier choices. However, opponents claim that it is a simplistic approach that does not address the complex causes of obesity.
Critics argue that attributing the responsibility for obesity to certain nutrients, as the Nutri-Score does, oversimplifies a complex issue. They point out that obesity rates have continued to rise in countries that have adopted the Nutri-Score, suggesting that the labeling system is not effective in combating the problem.
Furthermore, opponents argue that the Nutri-Score undermines consumer choice and diversity in food products. By favoring multinational corporations that can easily reformulate their products to meet the Nutri-Score criteria, the labeling system disadvantages traditional and local food producers.
The promotion of the Nutri-Score has raised questions about the role of government in influencing food choices and the potential unintended consequences of such policies.
The Science of Calorie Restriction: Can Eating Less Lead to Longer Life?
The Fascinating Link Between Caloric Restriction and Longevity
For decades, scientists have been fascinated by the idea that cutting calories could lead to a longer and healthier life. It all started in the 1930s when researchers discovered that reducing an animal’s caloric intake by 30 to 40 percent could increase its lifespan by around 30 percent. Since then, numerous studies on various species have replicated these findings, highlighting the potential benefits of calorie restriction.
So, why does eating less translate into a longer life? The answer remains elusive. One theory suggests that caloric restriction triggers certain biological changes that make animals more resilient to physical stressors. For instance, calorie-restricted mice demonstrate enhanced resistance to toxins and faster recovery from injuries.
Another explanation involves the impact of reduced calorie intake on metabolism. Eating fewer calories slows down metabolism, possibly extending an organism’s lifespan as it reduces wear and tear on the body over time.
Additonally, caloric restriction forces the body to rely on alternative fuel sources besides glucose, leading researchers to believe it can improve metabolic health and reduce age-related diseases. The process of autophagy plays a crucial role here – as cells consume dysfunctional components for energy during periods of restricted calories – improving cellular functions and mitigating disease risks.
Suriname School HPV Vaccination Campaign Faces Parental Doubts and Concerns
The school vaccination campaign starts today, Thursday 25 April. launched, providing the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to students. Earlier this week, the Ministry of Health held information sessions at schools to make children aware of the importance of this vaccine. The HPV vaccine is important because it can prevent not only infections but also certain types of cancer. But many Surinamese parents are expressing growing doubts about the HPV vaccine through social media.
HPV vaccine
A report from the Pan American Health Organization, PAHO, in 2023 shows that despite the introduction of the HPV vaccine in 2013, Suriname faced challenges. The vaccination rate fell to 8 percent in 2022. Suriname’s recent switch to a single-dose HPV vaccine schedule, in line with recent recommendations from the WHO (World Health Organization) and PAHO, shows a renewed commitment to encourage vaccination efforts to improve.
According to Health Minister Amar Ramadhin, the HPV vaccine can help prevent breast cancer in women and other forms of cancer in boys if they are vaccinated at a young age.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer, which is considered the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, has become a major health problem in Suriname according to PAHO.
7 tips for living a longer life (and avoiding inflammation)
Scientists are clear: to age in good health and improve your life expectancy, it is imperative to avoid generalized inflammation of the body. This phenomenon would in fact be a contributing factor for many health concerns – cardiovascular disorders, senile dementia, loss of muscle mass, repeated bacterial and viral infections, etc.
To limit the risk of developing this famous generalized inflammation of the body, the University of Birmingham (in Great Britain) offers 7 tips that are not difficult to apply on a daily basis:
Move as often as possible
In addition to being excellent for the figure as well as for preventing many cardiovascular diseases (type 2 diabetes, for example), physical activity also helps reduce inflammation in the body. Researchers at the University of Birmingham recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week.
Monitor your weight
Excess fat mass promotes generalized inflammation in the body. Indeed, adipose tissues naturally produce pro-inflammatory cytokines. British researchers therefore recommend adopting a varied and balanced diet to reduce this phenomenon.
Eat more fruits and vegetables
It’s proven: the Mediterranean diet (which emphasizes fruits and vegetables, and especially green leafy vegetables like spinach or kale) reduces markers of inflammation in the body.

Scar from ear to chin
When the pigment manifestation appeared for the fourth time in the same place on the face, Jana visit ed another dermatologist. He recommended surgical removal followed by a histological examination, as he suspected malignant melanoma, i.e. skin cancer.
“I got to Professor Arenbergerová at the University Hospital of Královská Vinohrady. She arranged for me to have the birthmark removed for plastic surgery, and a histological examination revealed that it was indeed a malignant tumor.” explains the young woman, saying that although she has a large scar after the procedure, it is not so noticeable thanks to the skill of the operators.
