New research shows that keeping your heart healthy might depend on what’s happening in your gut. Inside your digestive system live trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, known as the gut microbiome, that influence far more than just digestion. These microscopic inhabitants play a surprisingly powerful role in protecting your heart and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
A groundbreaking study has revealed the hidden long-term risks of the keto diet, shedding fresh light on its impact on broader metabolic health. Despite its widespread popularity as a powerful tool for rapid weight loss and managing conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes, this high-fat, ultra-low-carb eating pattern may come with serious consequences that only emerge over time.
Colorectal cancer in people under 50 is surging worldwide, especially in high-income nations. Emerging research now links the trend directly to ultra-processed foods. In a groundbreaking 24-year study of over 29,000 female nurses, those eating the most ultra-processed foods had sharply higher rates of colon polyps and adenomas, key precursors to colorectal cancer.
Sugar sweetened drinks have faced criticism for years, with diet versions often viewed as safer. A new study ties both sugar-filled and artificially sweetened drinks to elevated chances of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the severe liver disorder previously named nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

A new obesity definition released earlier this year significantly increases the estimated rate of obesity in the U.S. The new criteria includes body measurements such as waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and waist-to-hip ratio, alongside BMI.

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.

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.
