Roughly 1 million people in the U.S. have Parkinson’s Disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative condition causing disability over time, with chances rising sharply after age 60. A new study reveals untreated sleep apnea is a major factor that can increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease significantly. The encouraging finding is that CPAP greatly mitigates this elevated risk.
Hidden within you is a sophisticated internal calendar that senses seasons, not just daily cycles.A recent study highlights how fats from food serve as seasonal cues for the brain, until processed fats come along and disrupt the process.
Beyond heart benefits, intense exercise packs an even greater benefit. A recent study shows that just 10–12 minutes of high-intensity activity can slow the growth of colorectal cancer cells. Scientists explored the effects of exercise on colorectal cancer cells. While previous studies have demonstrated that exercise offers protective benefits against cancer, this research sought to deepen our understanding of the underlying molecular processes.
In recent years, the link between the gut microbiota and cancer has garnered significant interest, with most research emphasizing indirect strategies like microbiome modulation or fecal microbiota transplantation. In a new study, researchers have identified a bacterium isolated from the intestines of Japanese tree frogs, that demonstrates extraordinarily potent anticancer effects.
A recent study has revealed that incorporating coconut water into the daily diet may offer significant benefits for individuals with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. When consumed alongside standard medications, coconut water helped more patients achieve clinical remission, reduced symptoms and lowered markers of intestinal inflammation compared to placebo.
Air pollution can harm the immune system by impairing key defenses against infections. It damages immune cells like macrophages, triggers persistent chronic inflammation, disrupts balanced immune responses, and allows particulates to build up in lung-associated lymph nodes. This ultimately heightens vulnerability to pathogens and related diseases.
Recent research reveals that constipation is linked to a greater risk of heart attacks and strokes, with the danger escalating significantly in individuals who also suffer from high blood pressure. These findings underscore the importance of viewing constipation not merely as a digestive problem, but as a potential cardiovascular risk factor requiring serious attention.
Microplastics have become inescapable. We're ingesting them through food and water, and even inhaling them daily. These tiny fossil-fuel-based particles, smaller than 5 mm, have now been detected deep inside human bones, cartilage, and spinal discs. A recent study reveals that microplastics can penetrate bone tissue, including the marrow, where they may disrupt metabolic processes and harm skeletal health.
Ultra-processed foods now make up nearly 60% of calories in the average U.S. adult's diet. These highly manufactured items are increasingly dominating American eating habits. A major U.S. cohort study involving over 100,000 participants, found that those with the highest intake of ultra-processed foods had a 41% greater risk of lung cancer compared to those with the lowest intake.
New research highlights that Vitamin B3, specifically nicotinamide, may reduce skin cancer risk by up to 54% in individuals with a history of the disease. Dermatologists and skin cancer surgeons frequently recommend nicotinamide to patients, as it helps shield cells from damage associated with UV radiation.
Brain aging encompasses the gradual biological and functional shifts in the brain as we age, changes that may or may not affect cognitive performance. A recent study explored whether creativity offers more than just enjoyment or emotional benefits, investigating if it provides tangible biological advantages for brain health.
Could your meal timing weaken your bones? A recent study suggests that habits like skipping breakfast or eating late-night dinners may heighten the risk of developing osteoporosis. This pioneering research is the first to highlight a clear link between such eating patterns and an increased chance of bone fractures due to osteoporosis.
