Chronotype and Liver Health: No Significant Link Found

by

A recent cross-sectional study published in the journal Nutrients found no statistically significant link between an individual’s chronotype—their natural preference for morning or evening activity—and the presence of liver fat or fibrosis in adults with overweight or obesity. Researchers at the National Institute of Gastroenterology in Italy assessed 119 medication-naïve participants using the Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire … Read more

Spring Clock Change Linked to Higher Risk of Retinal Vascular Disease

by

Northwestern Medicine researchers have identified a link between semiannual clock changes and the incidence of retinal vascular disease. According to a study published in Scientific Reports, the risk of developing these sight-threatening conditions increases by up to 30% in the month following the spring transition to daylight saving time, while the fall return to standard … Read more

How Neighborhoods Impact Women’s Long-Term Heart Health

by

Living in a socially vulnerable neighborhood significantly impacts a woman’s cardiovascular health, according to a 20-year study published in Circulation: Population Health and Outcomes. Researchers at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute found that women in these areas score 6 to 10 points lower on heart health metrics, with faster health declines observed as they … Read more

6 Non-Negotiables for Sustainable Weight Loss and Fitness

by

Sustainable weight loss and improved physical health rely on six foundational habits: eating nutrient-dense foods, maintaining a calorie deficit, increasing daily non-exercise movement, exercising consistently, managing stress, and prioritizing sleep. According to Chennai-based fitness coach Raj Ganpath, these non-negotiable pillars provide a framework for long-term health, moving beyond the traditional simplification of just “eating less … Read more

Evening Chronotype Linked to Later Eating and Higher Body Fat

by

Healthy women with an evening chronotype—individuals who naturally prefer later sleep and meal times—show higher body fat percentages and less favorable metabolic markers compared to those with morning or intermediate preferences, according to a study published in Frontiers in Nutrition. Research from the PROMISE study indicates that meal timing, particularly the consumption of energy late … Read more

Sleeping longer may signal early Alzheimer’s-related brain changes

by

Regularly sleeping nine to 10 hours or more per night is linked to higher levels of p-tau181, a blood-based protein marker for Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study from UT Health San Antonio. Researchers found that the association becomes most pronounced beyond 10 hours of sleep, suggesting long sleep may be an early indicator of … Read more

New Wearable Microneedle Patch Monitors Drug Levels in Real Time

by

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

Newborn Breathing Risks: Why the First 24 Hours Are Critical

by

Sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) affects approximately 31 per 100,000 live births, according to a retrospective cohort study published in Acta Paediatrica. Researchers analyzing 483,000 births in Stockholm between 2002 and 2022 found that the condition—defined as the sudden breathing cessation of an apparently healthy newborn—most frequently occurs within the first 24 hours of life, … Read more

How Sleep Affects Eating Habits & Metabolic Health

by

Evening chronotypes, or “night owls,” face higher risks of obesity and metabolic dysfunction due to a tendency to consume high-calorie, high-fat foods late at night, according to research from Griffith University. Professor Rozanne Kruger found that meal timing, rather than total caloric intake, correlates with increased body fat and poorer glucose regulation in women. How … Read more

Myelin Damage and Sleep: How It Disrupts Brain Rhythms

by

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have identified a link between myelin sheath degradation and abnormal brain activity during sleep, potentially providing a new non-invasive biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases. According to research presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026, myelin damage triggers epilepsy-like electrical spikes and disrupts critical oscillations exclusively … Read more
