Social media is flooded with longevity hacks, from cold plunges to NAD+ IV infusions and peptide injections. But do any of these biohacks actually work? Experts say most lack scientific evidence and may even be dangerous. The real secret to longevity is simple: combining cardio and strength training.
A study published in Nature Biotechnology reveals that rentosertib, an AI-designed drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, shifted patients' blood protein patterns toward a younger biological age across six independent aging clocks. However, researchers caution this does not prove patients became younger or will live longer, and larger, longer trials are needed.
A new CDC report reveals that about 71.5% of U.S. adults experienced fatigue on multiple days in the past three months, with nearly 1 in 6 feeling exhausted most or every day. Women, younger adults, and American Indian/Alaska Native adults report the highest rates. Fatigue is not just sleepiness—it's linked to anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and life stress.
Junk food is a major contributor to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). High fructose, saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates promote liver fat accumulation through mechanisms like insulin resistance. This article examines the latest research on the link between fast food and fatty liver, offering science-based prevention strategies.
For years, 10,000 steps a day has been the golden rule for health. But new research suggests walking speed may matter more than step count. Experts recommend focusing on brisk walking benefits rather than obsessing over step targets.
Social media claims warn that regular mouthwash use can disrupt the oral microbiome and raise risks of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Experts say occasional use is fine, but long-term, frequent use of antiseptic rinses containing chlorhexidine may alter oral ecology and affect blood pressure regulation. Here's what the research actually shows.
A new study published in Nature found that semaglutide not only aids weight loss and blood sugar control but also slows multiple ageing markers and extends lifespan in older female mice. However, researchers stress that long-term human trials are still needed to confirm these effects.
A Cleveland research team has identified a lasting 'biological memory' in fat cells that keeps hunger signals elevated even after weight loss. This mechanism may explain why weight regain is so common after dieting or stopping GLP-1 medications, and why obesity risk can pass from mother to child.
A new AI tool can analyze repeated 3D mammograms to more accurately predict a woman's future risk of breast cancer. This technology could transform traditional one-time screening into personalized risk assessment and early intervention.
NHS England is expanding its Pharmacy First scheme so patients can walk into participating high street pharmacies for on-the-spot treatment of migraines, acne, scabies, ear infections and rhinitis — without needing a GP appointment first. The move aims to ease pressure on GPs and A&E and could redirect 2–3 million consultations a year.
Takeda announced results from two Phase 3 studies of Oveporexton (ORZEYFUL), an oral orexin receptor 2 agonist, showing significant improvements in excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, disrupted nighttime sleep, and quality of life in patients with narcolepsy type 1, with a favorable safety profile. The drug is now approved in the U.S., China, and Japan.
A new study found that girls exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy may have smaller ovaries and fewer ovarian follicles. Researchers stress the findings don't prove causation and pregnant women shouldn't be alarmed, but should use the medication cautiously and consult their doctors.
