See on Scoop.it - Health Studies Updates

“The beneficial effect of fish intake on cerebrovascular risk might be mediated through a complex interplay among a wide range of nutrients commonly found in fish,” they wrote, noting that vitamins D and B complex, essential amino acids, and trace elements could have positive effects.

See on Scoop.it - Health Studies Updates



mHealth is an emerging trend in technology. It stands for ‘mobile healthcare’ and means utilizing smartphones and medical mobile devices to help diagnose and monitor health conditions.


There has been a tremendous amount of activity in mHealth consumer apps. MobiHealthNews did a detailed study earlier this year and discovered more than 13,600 iPhone health and fitness apps in the App Store.
