Research says beta carotene can reduce the rate of dementia in men
Research by Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School shows that men who take beta carotene for a long time can reduce the risk of dementia. According to Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, beta-carotene is an antioxidant in radishes and other vegetables. The team found that human livers can break down beta-carotene into vitamin A, a component that makes oranges radiant resistant to free radical damage. The research team invited 4052 men to participate in the test in 1982. They took a placebo or 50 mg of beta carotene every other day. The researchers then arranged for participants to undergo several cognitive tests. It is understood that changes in cognitive ability, especially from the sense of hearing, can best show the probability that the person concerned will eventually develop dementia. Several tests showed that people who took beta carotene for a long time performed better than those who took placebo. The research team therefore pointed out that long-term use of beta carotene has a significant health effect. However, the research team also said that taking beta carotene also has certain risks, such as increasing the risk of lung cancer in smokers.

Therapeutic heating pads usually operate from household current and must have protection against overheating.

A moist Heating Pad is used dry on the user's skin. These pads register temperatures from 76 to 82 °C (169 to 180 °F) and are intended for deep tissue treatment and can be dangerous if left on unattended. Moist Heating Pads are used mainly by physical therapists but can be found for home use. A moist cloth can be added with a stupe cover to add more moisture to the treatment.
