Three in one vaccine
A single nasal spray vaccine may be able to protect from any lung infections, coughs, colds and flus. It could also help those living with allergies. The new sprays would leave ‘amber alert’ white blood cells, called macrophages, in the lungs which would be ready to jump into action against any infection. The effect has been shown to last up to three months in animals with human trials still forthcoming.

Eating cheese every day
Not only can cheese support muscle, bone and nerve health but it’s a safe and satisfying food. Portion size and variety matter, however, as too much cheese can add excess saturated fat and sodium. Its suggested that we stick to one or two ounces a day and balance it with fibre-rich foods. Fold it into eggs, toss with pasta, sprinkle it on salads or simply nibble it on its own as a healthy snack.

Pap smear for men
Semen analysis is being suggested as a tool that some are calling the men’s health equivalent to the pap smear for women. We know that low motile sperm count and infertility are biomarkers for things beyond reproductive health and considered a co-mobility burden for future health- particularly metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancers especially testicular and prostate.

Young blood
German skin care scientists have discovered an interaction with bone marrow cells and young blood serum. Their work offers insights into anti-aging mechanisms and the accumulation of “junk proteins” in older people’s blood. This may give them the ability to use young blood to help roll the clock back on cellular aging.
