In an exciting breakthrough, scientists have found that combining curcumin with turmeric essential oil helps it cross the blood-brain barrier, offering incredible protection for brain health. Studies with mice exposed to aluminum—a known brain toxin—showed that this powerful blend reversed memory loss, protected vital brain cells, and even improved cognitive function. What’s really amazing? The […]
You snooze, you win? A new study reveals that poor sleep habits in your 40s could accelerate brain aging by up to 2.6 years by the time you reach your 50s. Published in Neurology, the study suggests that quality sleep is crucial for maintaining brain health and reducing dementia risk as we age. Researchers from
A study from Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy reveals that eating pistachios daily may significantly benefit eye health by boosting macular pigment optical density (MPOD), an indicator of eye protection. The study, which involved healthy middle-aged and older adults, found that consuming 2 ounces of pistachios daily for 12 weeks led
A new study from the University of California, Irvine, reveals a strong link between disruptions in the circadian rhythm—our body’s internal clock—and colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. The research shows how sleep patterns and biological timekeeping disturbances, such as those experienced by shift workers or frequent flyers, can influence gut health, leading to CRC risks. Specifically,
A recent study published in eLife suggests that the effects of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on brain health are complex and depend on factors such as a woman’s surgical history, duration of treatment, and age at last use. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 20,000 women and found that current MHT users had a higher “brain

A recent study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity reveals that meal timing may play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy body mass index (BMI). Conducted by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and involving over 7,000 participants aged 40-65, the research suggests that extending the overnight fast and eating
A recent report from the American Cancer Society reveals a concerning increase in breast cancer diagnoses among women under 50 despite an overall decline in breast cancer mortality rates by 44% over the past three decades. The report highlights persistent disparities in outcomes, particularly for women of color, who face higher risks and lower survival
Recent research highlights the significant yet complex relationship between exercise and gut microbiota, revealing that physical activity can alter the composition and function of gut microbes. The gut microbiota, which can weigh up to 2 kg and comprises over 1,000 bacterial species, plays a crucial role in digestion, metabolism, and immune health. Animal studies have
