The Best Time To Eat Your Dinner To Prevent Cancer, According To A New Study Many people already know that what you eat, and how much, have been linked with cancer risk. But, according to a new study  published in the International Journal of Cancer, when you eat may matter, too. To find this out, researchers inquired about the nightly habits of a group of 1,826 breast and prostate cancer patients and compared them to 2,193 healthy individuals. Individuals who recalled regularly eating dinner before 9 p.m. or at least two hours before going to bed had a 26 percent lower risk of developing prostate cancer and a 16 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer. Meaning: Meal timing had a significant effect on participants' cancer risk. While it is not fully understood why, researchers think it could have to do with circadian rhythm disruptions.

9 Unexpected Uses Of Honey Medically reviewed by Jeanne Morrison, When you have a sore throat or a cough, honey is one of the best, and tastiest, salves nature has to offer. The first record of beekeeping dates back to 2400 B.C., in Cairo.
