If you notice a decline in your sense of smell, there may be reason for concern. Olfactory function naturally decreases with age, and its loss can also be an early indicator of neurodegenerative disorders. New research links a declining sense of smell to a faster accumulation of Alzheimer’s-related brain changes observed in brain scans.
Everywhere in our surroundings, minuscule plastic fragments invade the human body daily through foods and liquids we consume, and airborne particles we inhale. These pervasive invaders spread throughout every organ and tissue, reaching even the brain, where buildup may spark symptoms resembling Alzheimer's disease. A new study revealed concerning levels of microplastic buildup in the human brain.
Statins are currently being used by millions of Americans to reduce cholesterol and to prevent heart disease. A recent study reveals that statins may reduce circulating GLP-1 levels, potentially disrupting metabolism, increasing insulin resistance, and elevating blood sugar. This interference affects GLP-1, the hormone mimicked by weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, highlighting an overlooked metabolic impact.
A recent study suggests that consuming high-fat foods for just a few days can trigger issues, including cognitive decline. Availability of brain glucose is rapidly and reversibly reduced, activating inhibitory neurons and disrupting memory formation. The results highlight the significant role of nutrition in contributing to cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Juicing is frequently viewed as a nutritious method to boost intake of vitamin-packed fruits and vegetables, whether as a daily habit or a cleanse for detox or weight loss. A study on juicing diets suggests it could be having the opposite effect and shows alterations can happen to the oral microbiome, with potential subsequent health impacts that may be harmful.
A groundbreaking study uncovers a surprising link between the brain and obesity and has revealed a deeper understanding of what’s fueling the obesity epidemic. Even short-term intake of ultra-processed foods can significantly disrupt the brain’s response to insulin, potentially paving the way for obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
A recent study found that certain sugar substitutes may have unforeseen negative effects on long-term cognitive health. It revealed that heavy consumption of specific artificial sweeteners is associated with accelerated cognitive decline in adults.
A new study suggests that Vitamin D supplements may support telomere health, the protective ends of chromosomes crucial for healthy aging. This indicates Vitamin D may help slow aging, fueling optimism that it could enhance longevity and health.
A recent study indicates a link between the timing of breakfast and longevity in older adults. Researchers found that older adults who regularly ate an early breakfast during the study had a reduced risk of mortality over approximately 20 years compared to those who gradually shifted their morning meal to later times.
A recent study cautions that excessive visceral fat, which accumulates deep in the abdomen and encases vital organs, may hasten the aging of the heart and blood vessels. In contrast to subcutaneous fat, which lies just under the skin, visceral fat presents greater health dangers because of its close proximity to vital internal organs.
High-intensity interval training, which alternates short bursts of vigorous exercise with moderate activity, is well-known among athletes and trainers for its benefits. It entails switching between brief bouts of high-intensity activity and short recovery periods. This exercise approach can elevate metabolic rate for hours post-workout, resulting in enhanced calorie burn even during rest.
For many, kicking off the day with a steaming cup of coffee or tea might be a great habit that seems inconsequential. However, studies indicate that consuming beverages hotter than149°Fcould increase the likelihood of esophageal cancer. Research indicates that regularly consuming extremely hot beverages can injure the inner lining of the esophagus, triggering inflammation and the development of cancerous cells.
