Moderate daily movement—roughly 3,000 steps—may significantly slow cognitive decline and protect brain health in older adults, according to research published in Nature in November 2025. While the activity does not clear amyloid plaques often targeted by Alzheimer’s medications, it appears to inhibit the accumulation of tau proteins, which are more directly linked to memory loss … Read more
Healthy aging may depend less on expensive supplements and more on the consistent rejection of comfort, according to Dr. Stephanie Rogers, a geriatrician. By embracing hormesis—the biological principle of using small, manageable doses of stress to trigger beneficial adaptations—individuals can build physical and cognitive resilience that supports long-term health, though experts emphasize this complements, rather … Read more
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a wearable microneedle patch capable of continuously measuring drug concentrations in interstitial fluid and transmitting that data to a smartphone in real time. The device, which weighs 6.7 grams, aims to explore whether continuous monitoring could provide a more complete picture than periodic … Read more
