Some people lose weight slower after workouts, and a Kobe University research team discovered why. Studying mice lacking specific signal molecules that respond to short-term exercise, they found these mice consume less oxygen, burn less fat, and are more prone to weight gain. This connection, also found in humans, could lead to new obesity treatments.

Researchers have revealed in a new study that reducing daily sitting prevented back pain from worsening over six months. They have also shared that physical activity, such as walking or more brisk exercise, is better than simply standing up.

A new study in Frontiers in Neuroscience highlights a potential link between light pollution and Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly for those under 65. Researchers found that nightly exposure to outdoor light may increase AD risk, suggesting that younger people may be especially vulnerable.

A new study on mice reveals that elenolic acid, a natural compound in olives, can lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss, potentially leading to safe and affordable treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes. This research underscores the potential of elenolic acid as a multi-targeting agent for metabolic disorders.

A recent study in Frontiers in Nutrition debunks myths about low-carb diets, showing that even low-carb plans can exceed daily nutrient needs while supporting weight management. The research compared three low-carb meal plans.

When the heat rises, an innovative cooling method could save dogs from heat-related illnesses. New research from Penn Vet Working Dog Center, published in JAVMA, shows that teaching dogs to dunk their heads in water is the most effective way to rapidly cool them after exercise.

Researchers have linked weight gain in young and middle-aged adults to poor heart health in older age. They have also suggested that maintaining a healthy weight even in early adulthood is important for improving heart health in the long term.

Researchers have revealed in a new study that irregular sleep patterns could lead to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. The study also suggests that one should get consistent sleep to stave off type 2 diabetes.

Researchers have found a link between heart failure and kidney disease among older adults that have been hospitalized for heart failure. The findings suggest that at the individual provider level, cardiologists should prioritize assessing kidney function in all patients with heart failure.

In a new study, researchers have found that its participants (U.S. women) who had greater Mediterranean diet intake had up to 23 % lower risk of all-cause mortality, with benefits for both cancer mortality and cardiovascular mortality.
