Intelligence Impacts Health and Aging

Razi Berry For over 100 years, scientists have sought to understand what links a person’s general intelligence, health and aging. In a new study, a University of Missouri scientist suggests a model where mitochondria, or small energy producing parts of cells, could form the basis of this link. This insight could provide valuable information to […]

Study on Diathermy Shows Increased Mitochondrial Function in Muscles

Razi Berry A recent study using diathermy has shown that long-term heat therapy may help improve mitochondrial function in muscle. The study was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.1 What are Mitochondria? Mitochondria are discrete organelles that exist within cells, and are responsible for creating ATP, or cellular energy. In the simplest terms, mitochondria […]
