Intermittent Fasting: Unlocking the Secrets to Weight Loss and Longevity
The Power of Intermittent Fasting: Unlocking the Benefits
Intermittent fasting, a phenomenon that has been rapidly gaining popularity worldwide and in the United States, is revolutionizing the way we approach dieting. By restricting our eating windows and embracing periods of fasting, individuals have discovered a myriad of health benefits. However, it’s important to navigate this trend with caution as new studies have raised concerns about its potential risks.
A New Way to Eat
Intermittent fasting involves dividing our day into specific time frames for eating and abstaining from food for the remainder. The most widely adopted model is the 8-16 hour program, allowing individuals to eat during an 8-hour window while fasting for 16 hours.
In order to fully understand intermittent fasting’s impact on human health and well-being, Dr. Christopher Hine from the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute has dedicated over a decade to studying dietary interventions like intermittent fasting. His research has offered promising results.
Dr. Hine explains:
“What we’ve seen is prior to surgery caloric restriction is quite beneficial,” he said, “The outcomes are better; there’s b

Sporty-Mom
Stress hormones are best reduced through exercise and physical exercise of any kind ensures this. Mommy yoga sessions are nice, but let’s be honest, if the toddler also jumps around on mommy, the desired effect will not be achieved at all. With so-called jogger buggies, everyday walks in the fresh air become a relaxing workout. And the kids enjoy a trip with napping time. Do you already hear this silence?
Finding the Flow-Moment
In order to be happy in the long term, we need special strategies that help us keep ourselves in balance. One of these happiness strategies that happiness researchers recommend can also be wonderfully implemented with children: Find the flow moment! The ability to pursue an activity and let it flow. This tunnel moment gets us into the flow and is scientifically proven to provide pure relaxation. Our tip for a mom-child flow moment: puz

Little known, this anti-cholesterol vegetable is excellent for the heart
It would be able to significantly reduce the level of bad cholesterol and triglycerides.
Eating fruits and vegetables helps maintain good cardiovascular health. But not all vegetables are equal, as Chinese researchers show in the scientific journal Food & Function. According to them, a family of vegetables is particularly protective for the heart and arteries, much more than other vegetables. One of these vegetables, little consumed in France, would be particularly good for reducing cholesterol, one of the main cardiovascular risk factors.
This vegetable is easily found in supermarkets, in greengrocers, in markets or even in Asian grocery stores

When is the best time to take multivitamins? What are the experts’ advice?
They are an effective, expert-approved way to supplement your diet. Find out from nutritionists when is the best time to take multivitamins. Additionally, the time you take them impacts how your body absorbs nutrients.
The best time to take multivitamins
There is no specific age to take multivitamins. If your vitamin and mineral needs are not being met by your regular diet, you may want to consider starting a multivitamin regimen. For women, especially, multivitamin supplementation is important to prevent deficiencies.
For example, if you have your period, you need more iron. If your daily diet is vegetarian, you may have a vitamin B12 deficiency. In general, the body needs vitamin D or calcium supplementation for proper functioning.
Fat-soluble vitamins are best absorbed when taken with or without food. While water-soluble vitamins can be taken with or without food.
“Some minerals, such as iron, can be absorbed better on an empty stomach, while others, such as calcium, can be absorbed better with food,” said nutritionist Suman Agarwal, quoted by Vogue.
What multivitamins should contain
Choose multivitamins that include all B vitamins, as modern lifes

A new genetic form of Alzheimer’s disease identified.
Posted by giorgiobertin on May 7, 2024
The results of this study conducted by researchers at Research Area on Neurological Diseases, Neuroscience, and Mental Health at the Sant Pau Research InstituteSpain, indicate that the APOE4 form of the APOE gene, already “investigated” for some time in the context of Alzheimer’s, is strongly correlated with the risk of onset of the disease.
In particular, people whose genome contains a double copy of this form of the gene – called APOE4 homozygotes – have a very high probability of developing the disease and of developing it earlier than those with other variants of the same gene. So much so that homozygosity for APOE4 could represent a new genetic form of the disease.
In this work, researchers evaluated clinical, pathological, and biomarker changes in APOE4 homozygotes to determine their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
The findings suggest that virtually all APOE4 homozygotes exhibited Alzheimer’s pathology and had

Neurontin and Lyrica Drugs: Increased Risk of Drug Use, Overdose, and Serious Trauma
2024-05-06 16:20:00
I recently told you that a study has detected that the consumption of gabapentinoid drugslike the famous Lyricahas grown 30% in five years, despite its few benefits and serious risks.
Now, new scientific work has found a link between gabapentinoid prescriptions and a increased risk of worse patient outcomes.
This trial identified higher rates of drug use, overdose and severe trauma such as bone fractures or head injuries, in people who took this group of drugs compared to those who did not.
That is to say, these medications enhance addictions and even more so among people who are already smokers or who have had problems with drugs. When introduced into pharmacies, gabapentinoids were thought to be safe medications without risk of addictionbut were reclassified in 2019 due to their potential for misuse or damage.
So you

Exploring Terminal Lucidity: Why Do Loved Ones with Dementia Sometimes Come Back Before Death?
Terminal Lucidity: Unraveling the Mystery of Moments of Mental Clarity Before Death
Dementia is often described as “the long goodbye”. This devastating illness gradually erodes memories and that which defines a person. Comprehending the significance of what is lost with each passing day can be heart-wrenching. As the journey with dementia continues, individuals eventually lose their ability to communicate, feed themselves, recognize their surroundings, and even identify loved ones.
However, there have been perplexing and heartening accounts since the 19th century of individuals with dementia experiencing temporary episodes of lucidity. Strikingly, during these episodes, they engaged in meaningful conversations, recovered cherished memories, shared laughter, and even expressed their desires. Astonishingly, estimates indicate that within 24 hours, 43 percent of those who experience such lucidity pass away, while a staggering 84 percent do so within a week.
The Enigma of Terminal Lucidity
In 2009, the captivating term “terminal lucidity” was coined by researchers, Michael Nahm and Bruce Greyson, to describe lucid episodes that often transpire shortly before death. While these episodes can be indicative of an i

Global Impact of Vaccination: Preventing 154 Million Deaths Since 1974 – New Study Reveals
2024-05-07 05:25:00
Basel – In 1974, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a global vaccination program for children with the “Expanded Program on Immunization”. A new study shows that vaccinations have prevented an estimated 154 million deaths since then. Researchers from the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) report this in the journal “The Lancet” in collaboration with the WHO and other research organisations.
Inspired by progress in eradicating smallpox through vaccination, the WHO launched the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in 1974. Today, half a century later, researchers have attempted to quantify the program’s impact on public health since its inception in a study.
Key findings include that vaccinations have prevented an estimated 154 million deaths worldwide since 1974, including 146 million in children under the age of five and 101 million in infants under the age of one.
On average, for every death prevented, 66 years of health were gained, a staggering gain of 10.2 billion years of health. Vaccinations account for 40 percent of the observed decline in global infant mortality, and the contribution is even higher in regions such as Africa at 52 percent.
In 2024, a child under the age of ten is 40% more likely to su
