Though only about 5% of falls result in a fracture, falls are very common among the aged. Due in part to age-related muscle weakness and loss of balance, more than a third of those 65 and older fall each year. After a hip fracture, less than 50% may regain their pre-fracture function in terms of walking ability and independence. Exercise is the single intervention most strongly associated with a reduction in falls rate. [2023] - Michael Greger

Aspirin may lower the risk of cancer. Its active ingredient, salicylic acid, is widely found in many of the fruits and vegetables in the plant kingdom. Herbs and spices contain the highest concentrations. Chili powder, paprika, and turmeric are rich in the compound, but cumin has the most per serving. Indeed, just one teaspoon of ground cumin may be about the equivalent of a baby aspirin. This may help explain why India, with its spice-rich diets, has among the lowest worldwide rates of colorectal cancer--the cancer that appears most sensitive to the effects of aspirin. And the spicier, the better! [2015] - Michael Greger
