One in four people in the world&nbsp;will suffer from hearing problems by 2050, the World Health Organization warned after the first-ever global report on hearing.

Eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day is associated with a reduced risk of early death, according to a new study released by the American Heart Association.&nbsp;
While two of these servings should be fruits, the other three should be vegetables. This amount offers the maximum benefits in terms of prevention of chronic diseases.
But, not all fruits and vegetables count!&nbsp;
The study suggests that starchy vegetables, peas, potatoes and corns do not offer the same benefits.
Green leafy vegetables, however, that are rich in vitamin C and beta carotene like spinach and kale, did show results.
Fruits including berries and citrus fruits were found to be beneficial. Fruit juice, however, did not fall in the category.

While you may love your morning cuppa, scientists say that drinking too much coffee can be detrimental to your heart health and could cause heart-related issues.

While you may love your morning cuppa, scientists say that drinking too much coffee can be detrimental&nbsp;to your heart health and could cause heart-related issues.
A study found that long-term, heavy coffee consumption - six or more cups a day - can increase the number of lipids (fats) in your blood to significantly heighten your risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).&nbsp;
High levels of blood lipids are a known risk factor for heart disease, and coffee beans contain a very potent cholesterol-elevating compound called&nbsp;cafestol.&nbsp;
However, there is very little cafestol in filtered and instant coffee, so with respect to effects on lipids, those are good coffee choices, researchers noted in their study.&nbsp;
