Anxiety is both a mental and physical response. Drawing on expert interviews and multiple studies, this article explains how the vagus nerve regulates stress and introduces five evidence-based techniques—slow breathing, cyclic sighing, humming and more—that can help you calm down in three minutes or less.
Doctors are warning millions of Brits taking common medicines for high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol about the risks of polypharmacy and hospitalisation. Here is what you need to know about safe medication use.
UCLA researchers found that temporarily activating the p53 protein during the preparation of engineered T cells reduced T-cell exhaustion, boosted energy reserves, and enhanced the ability to kill melanoma cells, offering a new strategy to improve CAR-T and other immunotherapies.
Fatigue that lasts for weeks and doesn't improve with sleep may point to iron deficiency, an underactive thyroid, sleep apnea or diabetes. This guide covers what your doctor asks, the first round of lab tests, next steps when results are normal, and red flags that need urgent care.
A large study following nearly 490,000 adults for about 9 years found that regular tea drinking was linked to an 11% lower risk of cardiovascular disease. However, tea type, strength, and temperature mattered: black tea showed more consistent benefits, moderate strength was best, and "burning hot" tea was associated with elevated risk.
An eight-year study of over 22,000 UK adults found that just four minutes of brief daily movement—such as fidgeting, doing chores, or taking the stairs—can offset the cardiovascular risks of sitting for more than 11 hours a day. Experts recommend weaving small movements into daily routines to protect vascular and metabolic health.
A new skin patch worn on the face at night may increase time spent in deep sleep by delivering gentle electrical stimulation to the brain. Deep sleep is vital for protecting the brain against stress, depression and possibly dementia. Poor sleep is also linked to high blood pressure and diabetes. Here's what you need to know.
Chest pain sends millions to the ER each year, but not every episode signals a heart attack. Cardiologists break down how cardiac pain differs from musculoskeletal chest pain—covering sensation, location, triggers, and accompanying symptoms—and explain when to seek emergency care.
Prolonged haze in Malaysia has forced many indoors, and mental health experts warn that reduced daylight, physical activity and social interaction can disrupt circadian rhythms and sleep, leading to anxiety, low mood and emotional dysregulation. Air pollution itself has also been linked to depression and anxiety risks, with children, older adults and chronic disease patients most vulnerable.
Viral diabetes 'cures,' supplements and natural remedies may mislead patients into stopping prescribed medication, disrupting blood sugar control and raising the risk of serious complications. Doctors urge science-based management over unverified online claims.
A study following nearly 485,000 Chinese adults for about nine years found that drinking tea at least three days a week was linked to an 11% lower risk of vascular disease, while those who drank "burning hot" tea had a 16% higher risk. The findings suggest tea temperature may matter for heart health, though the link is associative, not causal.
A new JAMA Pediatrics study tracking 425 U.S. teens found that on nights with heavier-than-usual phone use after 10 p.m., participants fell asleep about 65 minutes later and slept about 20 minutes less. Phone use in the final minutes before sleep was linked to more wake time after falling asleep, though the study shows association, not causation.
