A Dutch study found that Occupational Therapy (OT) - training to do simple things around the house - improved the lives of people with dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, as well as the people who care for them. In the study, researchers at the University Medical Centre Nijmegen divided 135 seniors diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia into two groups. One group received OT, while the other did not. The scientists discovered that 75 percent of the patients who had the OT training showed improvement in motor skills, and 82 percent needed less assistance in day-to-day tasks. Similar improvement was seen in only 10 percent of those who did not get the training. In addition, nearly half the caretakers who received the OT felt more competent to do their duties.

When National Cancer Institute researchers recently concluded that beta carotene supplements didn’t prevent lung cancer, millions were left scratching their heads. For years, nutritionists had been recommending beta carotene, a plant-derived form of Vitamin A, as one of several nutrients that help prevent cancer by reducing cell damage. But the NCI study disproved the beta carotene theory, and even suggested that it increases the risk of cancer in long time smokers. It seems the best defence against cancer is eating up your salad. Fruits and vegetables are rich in a wide variety of cancer-fighting compounds. According to the vast majority of studies done on diet and cancer prevention, the more fruit and vegetables you eat, the more you reduce your risk of cancer. Trying to get those benefits in pill form, however, hasn’t been a very successful strategy – at least in the case of beta carotene. If beta carotene alone doesn’t prevent lung cancer, should non-smokers still bother taking it? Several studies show that it may help boost the immune system and prevent throat cancer. But for across-the-board cancer prevention, you need all the minerals and vitamins you would find in a multivitamin supplement, plus all the plant chemicals that are still being discovered. You need all these nutrients working as a team. And, to gain the maximum nutritional benefit from fruit and vegetables, you should choose the best way to prepare them. Serve them raw if it is possible; microwave, steam or stir-fry if not, as these cooking methods preserve nutrients better than the others.
What National Cancer Institute declared about beta carotene ................
A) took many people by surprise
B) was already estimated by many people
C) came as a great shock for those who relied on this vitamin
