Today, however, it seems as if allergies occur all year round. The chemicals that we use both at home and at work are frequently the culprits, from pollutants, cosmetics, [...]

Studies suggest that a deficiency of vitamin B12 may be at least partly responsible for declining mental ability and muscle coordination in some older people. And experts say that about 25 percent of people over age 60 no longer have the ability to make enough stomach acid to absorb sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 from [...]
