The team reveals the potential brain-enhancing power of blueberries, explaining how they contain anti-oxidants that could help improve learning ability and concentration levels. An obese actor and power-lifter concerned about his health asks for help losing weight while maintaining his strength, and Pixie McKenna looks into claims that onions could rival aspirin as a blood thinner. Plus, a nine-year-old is experiencing severe stomach pains, bloating and diarrhoea, prompting his mother to worry he has coeliac disease, the same intestinal disorder from which she suffers.
