Since the inaugural Milk Genomics Symposium in 2004, the event has attracted researchers from more than 24 countries to discuss current and future genomic research of mammalian milk and its related health benefits and led to the development of the IMGC, a partnership of companies and academic organizations. The IMGC goals are to leverage existing resources for the assembly of genetic instructions for milk molecules, link the scientific community for better understanding of the biological values of milk, create tools for an interactive, Web data exchange, coordinate pre-competitive research to develop baseline data, and provide a foundation for the development of exclusive/competitive research.

A Balance Diet Can Make Your Heart Happy
The heart pumps about 10,000 liters of blood around the body every day. The blood acts as a carrier to deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles, cells, and tissues. If something is happened to the heart, the functions of various parts of the body may be affected in one way or the other. A healthy diet can not only reduce the risk of developing heart disease but also increase the chances of survival after a heart attack. Maintaining an ideal weight as a result of healthy diet can reduce the strain on heart; blood cholesterol level and hence the blood pressure; and lower the risk of stroke.
