Emerging research highlights the health benefits of sauna use. According to a new study, spending just 30 minutes in a sauna triggers a notable increase in circulating white blood cells, which play a critical role in fighting infections and illnesses.
Vaping was introduced in the early 2000s as a supposedly safer and less odorous alternative to smoking. Unlike traditional cigarettes, which burn tobacco leaves, e-cigarettes heat a nicotine-containing liquid to produce a vapor that is then inhaled.
While PFAS or “forever chemicals” exert widespread harmful effects, a new study points to PFNA and PFOSA as drivers of accelerated biological aging in men during middle age, an effect notably absent in women. It is estimated that drinking water contaminated with PFAS could have exposed over 200 million Americans. The slow breakdown in the human body means these chemicals build up insidiously, potentially for decades, before any harm becomes evident.
Exercise is widely recognized for its numerous health advantages, including its positive impact on brain function. Emerging evidence from recent studies indicates that incorporating regular resistance training into your routine could help maintain a youthful, resilient brain as you grow older.
Vitamin D plays a key role in overall health by supporting strong bones, a healthy immune system, and proper muscle and nerve function. A new study has now explored whether vitamin D3 supplements can benefit people who have already survived a heart attack.
New research finds kids with poor dental hygiene and untreated cavities face a higher chance of developing hardened arteries and cardiovascular issues as adults. Neglected cavities and gum disease in childhood may drive artery plaque buildup.
In recent years, research has increasingly focused on cardiometabolic health, which links heart and metabolic function.A new study suggests that syncing overnight fasting with the body’s natural circadian rhythm could enhance heart health.
The popularity of Poured-in-Place (PIP) surfaces in kids' play zones stems from their soft rubber cushioning for falls and their role in recycling scrap car and truck tires. Playgrounds and sports fields often feature recycled tire crumb rubber loaded with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, which can include carcinogenic ones. A new study warns this material may leach harmful chemicals. PAHs resist rapid degradation, lingering in soil and water long-term, threatening ecosystems and stirring concerns for human exposure risks.
Though seen as a cozy winter tradition, fireplace wood smoke is a major overlooked source of deadly fine particle pollution, claiming thousands of lives each year. Only 2% of American households use wood as their primary heat source, yet wood smoke contributes over one-fifth of wintertime exposure to hazardous fine particles connected to heart disease and premature death.
Despite their impressive health advantages, cruciferous vegetables rank among the least-consumed vegetables worldwide. This aligns with a broader global pattern, where average vegetable intake falls about 40% short of the recommended minimum of at least two servings per day. Cruciferous vegetables are packed with key nutrients and bioactive compounds that deliver antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
When e-cigarettes first appeared on the market, they were heavily promoted as a safer option for adult smokers trying to quit traditional tobacco. It soon became clear, however, that the nicotine-laden e-liquid used in vaping devices is highly addictive. The full mid- and long-term health effects of vaping are only now beginning to come into focus.
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.
