When working to control your weight, you probably prioritize your diet. Yet an often-ignored element that’s vital is your sleep quality. Sleep deprivation affects millions. It is estimated that more than one-third of adults consistently get less than seven hours of sleep per night. How well you sleep impacts your body’s processes, influencing your behavior, blood sugar, and eating habits.
Foods play a crucial role in influencing our mental well-being, with specific types having a beneficial effect on brain health. Recent research has revealed that consuming fermented foods can be an effective strategy for supporting mental health.
Many people rely on medications for various conditions, but what happens to your gut long after you stop taking them? A recent study suggests drugs may have lasting effects on your gut health years later. The drugs include a variety of common medications, such as antibiotics, antidepressants, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and beta-blockers.
High blood pressure affects over one billion adults globally, driving significant research and health efforts. A recent study explored how cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower, may help reduce blood pressure in adults with mild hypertension compared to other vegetables.
For many, coffee is more than just a morning beverage, but often the key to starting and getting through the day. However, if you're taking antibiotics, you might want to pause before grabbing that cup. A recent study indicates that caffeinemay interfere with the pathways that enable antibiotics to function effectively.
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 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.
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.
Caffeine is known for providing a morning wake-up or afternoon pick-me-up, but research also suggests it supports cellular longevity. New research reveals that caffeine influences aging in a single-celled organism, remarkably similar to human cells, by triggering biological mechanisms that may slow aging.
