Treelet Health provides the latest health news, disease prevention, nutrition and diet, and other professional health knowledge to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
To live long and healthy, there are several lifestyle changes people can make to potentially extend their life, such as moving more. A new study found that moving just an extra 5 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day could prevent as much as 6% of deaths among those who are the least active. Scientists also found that sitting 30 minutes less a day could prevent as much as 7% of deaths.
This article synthesizes evidence showing that circadian-aligned morning routines support cognitive performance and mood regulation by stabilizing sleep–wake rhythms and neurobiological processes. Key behaviors, such as light exposure, consistent wake-up times, physical activity, nutrition, hydration, and mindfulness, work synergistically to improve daily mental and emotional functioning.
Long-term weight maintenance is challenged by persistent metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral adaptations following weight loss. Evidence indicates that sustained success depends on coordinated dietary composition, physical activity, circadian alignment, self-monitoring, psychological support, and emerging digital tools.
As the demand for solo-living safety grows and lightweight social interaction becomes a trend, apps similar to "Si Le Me" (literally "Am I Dead") have gained popularity with their core logic of "checking in to report safety". However, limitations such as single-user mode and platform constraints make it difficult to meet diverse scenario needs. As a web-based platform with similar functions yet upgraded experience, stiilok.life takes "group check-in as the core, weak connection as the link, and timeout alerts as the guarantee". It supports customized check-in rules and conveys safety signals through low-pressure interactions, accurately covering scenarios such as solo living care, long-distance relationship maintenance, and self-discipline supervision, making it a preferred tool for lightweight safety and social needs.
About 90% of Americans meet the criteria from at least stage 1 of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. CKM is a recently defined condition that includes heart disease, kidney disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. A new study found that light physical activity, such as walking, may help lower a person’s mortality risk for people with stages 2, 3, or 4 of the disease.
High levels of blood plasma lipoprotein are strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Some types of plasma lipoprotein can be reduced through diet and exercise, but others, such as lipoprotein(a) are influenced by genetics. A new study has found that high lipoprotein(a) increases the 30-year risk of CVD, even in healthy women. The researchers suggest introducing routine screening to detect high lipoprotein(a).
Brazil is home to three of the 10 longest-lived male supercentenarians in the world. A new paper explores why Brazil is home to an unusually high number of long-lived individuals. The authors believe distinct genetic and immunological factors may be driving this effect.
Each year, usually on the third Monday in January, the internet goes abuzz with warnings about the dreaded “Blue Monday,” the so-called most depressing day of the year. Where did the concept of Blue Monday originate, and is it a real phenomenon?
After weeks or months of inactivity, the body adapts in ways that make a rapid return to exercise risky. This evidence-based guide explains how to rebuild fitness, strength, and resilience safely while minimizing injury and long-term health consequences.
Circadian rhythm refers to the changes that occur in organisms over a 24-hour period. Rest and activity patterns throughout the day are one way to explore components of circadian rhythm. One study found that more fragmented and weaker circadian rest activity rhythms and having peak activity time later in the day were linked to an increased risk for dementia.
Evidence shows that weight management outcomes are shaped not only by diet and exercise but also by timing, adherence, and clinical support. Initiating structured interventions early in the year aligns behavioral momentum with metabolic and medical strategies to improve long-term weight loss and disease risk reduction.
Breathing is the most fundamental rhythm of life. But have you ever thought that within each inhale and exhale lies an important code for measuring physical health — lung capacity? Now, there's no need for complex instruments. Just open the Treelet Health APP and use your phone's microphone to complete a lung capacity test, easily keeping track of your respiratory vitality. Today, we will comprehensively interpret the mysteries of lung capacity and how to make good use of this new function to protect respiratory health.
