Sometimes, our hearing is often something we take for granted. We don't treat it the same way we do as other parts of our body. We eat healthy for our heart, we exercise for our body, we read and do puzzles for our mind. If you think about it, our ears go through a lot during day to day activities. We hear loud noises at sports events, we listen to our music loudly in cars or on headphones and other kinds of exposure.

For years, we’ve known that red wine, in moderation, could benefit the heart. We’re now learning that the French and Italians who drink wine with every meal might also be protecting their hearing. A 2013 study reported that resveratrol — the anti-aging, disease-fighting antioxidant found in red wine — could actually protect against hearing loss.
Can your diet make you smarter? Yes. A growing body of research shows that the foods we eat play an important role not only in our physical health, but also in our everyday brain function.
It’s late February, and if you’re like most Americans, you need some fruits and veggies. Our winter diets are chuck full of holiday treats and comfort food, but far too slim on fresh produce. Your local grocery store has plenty of options, of course, but many people don’t realize that the best produce to grab during the winter of year isn’t our typical favorites.
