A long-accepted explanation of childhood growth patterns is now being challenged by new research that questions whether BMI changes in early life reflect fat accumulation at all. A decades-old idea about how children grow may be built on a misunderstanding. For years, scientists and doctors have pointed to a pattern in childhood body mass index […]

This Common Type of Food May Be Raising Your Risk of Heart Disease
Heart experts say ultra-processed foods could be quietly fueling a global rise in heart disease and early death. A growing body of research is linking ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption to a higher risk of heart disease and death, according to a new report published in the European Heart Journal. The report combines findings from studies […]
Fur Seals’ Hearts Suddenly Spike Hours After Returning to Land
Fur seals may look relaxed on shore, but their hearts reveal a hidden battle still underway after deep dives. Diving places enormous physical stress on marine mammals. During long and deep dives, animals can switch to ‘anaerobic’ (oxygen-less) metabolism in parts of the body outside the heart and brain, which leads to a buildup of […]

Scientists Say Cognitive Decline Isn’t Inevitable — Your Brain Can Improve at Any Age
A long-term study found that brain health can improve throughout life with consistent daily habits, cognitive training, and personalized support, regardless of age. What if the brain doesn’t have to follow the familiar path of gradual decline with age? A major new study published in Scientific Reports is challenging long-held assumptions about aging, revealing that […]
The Hidden Types of Dementia Most People Have Never Heard Of
Dementia is more than memory loss, and rare types can affect vision, movement, and behavior. Recognizing these symptoms early can improve diagnosis and support. When most people hear the word “dementia,” they think of memory loss and forgetfulness.
