STORY AT-A-GLANCE People with eczema face higher odds of developing hyperparathyroidism, unrelated to vitamin D, according to recent research Hyperparathyroidism involves excess parathyroid hormone production, which disrupts calcium balance and leads to bone and kidney issues Vitamin D influences skin health and immune response, but its exact impact on eczema and hyperparathyroidism remains unclear and […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Even with a normal body mass index (BMI), intermuscular fat (IMAT) infiltrates muscles, promoting inflammation and increasing cardiovascular risks like heart failure and heart attacks Research links high IMAT and low muscle density to impaired coronary microcirculation, independent of BMI, significantly raising the risk of major heart-related events A study found that lower […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Public health officials are responding to bird flu (H5N1) using strategies similar to COVID-19, including extensive PCR testing and fearmongering, leading to significant food supply disruptions and price increases Since 2022, over 150 million birds have been killed due to H5N1, with 41.4 million culled between December 2024 and January 2025 alone, resulting […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Walking 5,000 or more steps daily reduces depressive symptoms, while 7,000 or more steps significantly lower your risk of developing depression over time Just 2,600 steps daily reduces all-cause mortality risk by 8%, with optimal heart health benefits at 7,200 steps per day Walking boosts mood by releasing endorphins, lowering stress hormones, improving […]
By: Mary Ann Rollano, RN STORY AT-A-GLANCE L-theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in tea leaves that can cross the blood-brain barrier and promote a state of calm alertness by increasing alpha brain wave activity Tea contains a natural combination of caffeine and theanine that creates a balanced effect — the theanine […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Fiber byproducts — short-chain fatty acids — physically attach to DNA regions, influencing how genes are turned on or off through epigenetic regulation A comprehensive review of 11 meta-analyses found that higher fiber consumption correlates with reduced risk of several cancers, including gastric, esophageal, ovarian and endometrial tumors Fiber helps regulate hormone pathways […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE The brain and muscles maintain constant two-way communication — muscles release biochemical signals that travel to the brain, while the brain coordinates movement and balance Regular physical activity enhances your brain function through multiple mechanisms, such as boosting neurogenesis, increasing cerebral blood flow, reducing inflammation and building cognitive reserve A 2024 study revealed […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Research shows curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, significantly reduces exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation, leading to faster recovery times for athletes and fitness enthusiasts at all levels A 2024 study demonstrated that curcumin supplementation effectively lowers biomarkers of muscle damage like creatine kinase and inflammatory cytokines while supporting natural muscle repair processes […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Vitamin K1, found mainly in green leafy vegetables, is essential for blood clotting, while vitamin K2, produced by gut bacteria and present in fermented foods and animal products, significantly impacts bone and heart health Vitamin K2 is more effective than K1 in enhancing bone density and preventing arterial calcification, making it important for […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Cigarette smoke contains over 20,000 harmful chemicals that weaken immune cells and promote chronic inflammation Long-term exposure to smoking impairs the function of T cells, macrophages and other immune cells, leaving your body vulnerable to infections and cancer Smoking triggers oxidative stress and DNA damage, disrupting your immune system and increasing the risk […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Frequent posting on social media has been linked to increased irritability and emotional instability; people who post daily experience the highest levels of distress A large-scale study found that individuals who both scroll and post on social media frequently have worse mental health outcomes than those who rarely engage Unlike passive scrolling, active […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Metabolic flexibility allows your body to efficiently switch between burning carbohydrates and fats based on energy needs. Good metabolic flexibility is linked to better insulin sensitivity, stable energy levels, and effective fat metabolism Avoiding carbohydrates can reduce metabolic flexibility by causing insulin resistance and hindering proper carb utilization Efficient carbohydrate metabolism increases carbon […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE CoQ10, an essential compound for cellular energy production, is often found at low levels in cancer patients, suggesting a link between CoQ10 deficiency and cancer risk Research shows CoQ10 helps fight cancer by slowing tumor growth, preventing new blood vessel formation in tumors and triggering self-destruction of abnormal cells The compound helps regulate […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE High-fat diets significantly increase kidney stone risk, with every 10-gram daily increase in polyunsaturated fats linked to a 21% higher chance of stone formation Higher dietary acid loads create an environment conducive to stone formation — the top third of participants with high acid loads showed 88% greater likelihood of developing kidney stones […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Modern lifestyles drain cellular energy faster than it’s replenished, as mitochondria struggle to produce adequate ATP, leading to systemic dysfunction and setting the stage for chronic illness Ultraprocessed foods, especially those high in vegetable oils and processed sugars, disrupt mitochondrial function while lacking essential nutrients for cellular health Sedentary behavior reduces mitochondrial biogenesis […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE The FDA has banned Red Dye No. 3 in food and drugs, with deadlines of January 2027 for foods and January 2028 for medications. This follows California’s earlier ban in 2023 The ban is based on the Delaney Clause from 1960, triggered by studies showing cancer in male rats, though the FDA notes […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut bacteria when they ferment fiber, serving as the primary energy source for colon cells and maintaining gut barrier strength Healthy butyrate levels support weight management, blood sugar control and brain health, with studies linking butyrate-producing bacteria to reduced Alzheimer’s risk and lower cancer risk […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and Wegovy, originally intended as diabetes medications, have gained popularity for weight loss, leading to global shortages despite having modest benefits Research shows these drugs reduce seizures and substance addiction risks, but they increase the likelihood of 19 other health conditions, including fainting, kidney problems and pancreatic issues […]
