Bad News For Bingers: Watching Too Much TV Linked to Smaller Brain Volume (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you click on the TV and hear a voice from your childhood saying, "That idiot box is going to rot your brain!" – you're not alone. My grandma said exactly that whenever she walked by me watching cartoons as a kid. Turns out, grammy wasn't entirely wrong. It's not just the sitting, which as we've now heard, isn't so great for longevity, or your brain, and may increase the risk of Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. When it comes to brain health specifically, a new study suggests that spend
Listen to Your Gut (Literally): Your Tummy's Grumbles Can Tell a Lot About Your Overall Health (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a kid, I used to put a toy stethoscope to my cats' and dogs' bellies to listen to all the strange sounds (and even tried it on myself a few times). The noise was weird and funny – and instantly recognizable, as anyone with a digestive system that has blasted out a deep growl at an inopportune time knows. It's amusing when it's someone else's stomach; cringe-worthy when it's your own. But could you recognize your stomach rumbles and match them to your current state? That's what a team led by r
Naked Mole-Rats Just Got Even Wackier; Turns Out The Queen Keeps Her Colony Infertile Through Scent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Naked mole-rats are wonderfully strange. First off, they're awesomely cute or terrifyingly ugly, depending on your taste, with furless, wrinkly skin and buck teeth. Their chirps have accents. They can live without oxygen for up to 18 minutes. Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) also have ridiculously high levels of pain resistance. They kidnap each other's young – and enslave them. But they're probably most famous for their longevity. Considered a 'non-aging' animal that defies Gompertz's La
42 Studies Confirm: Air Pollution Is Linked to Higher Parkinson's Risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We know that air pollution is bad for us, and if we think about it, it's probably obvious that it's particularly bad for our lungs. But many people don't realize how much it affects many other bodily systems. Pollutants in the air don't just get into our lung tissue and stay there. The tiniest pollutants from car and truck tailpipe emissions, industrial sources, and wildfires can penetrate through the lungs and start circulating in our blood, affecting other organs. These fine particles can trig
Bad News: All This Summer Sun Likely Won't Fix Your Vitamin D Levels, Study Finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summer just feels like a healthier season – plenty of daylight after work to play soccer or picnic in the park, beach days, and a free boost of vitamin D from all that extra sunshine. It's like a reset button for body and mind. But when it comes to replenishing your vitamin D, depleted by so much indoor time and skin-covering layers over the winter, that extra time outside might not be enough. A new study from Newcastle University in the UK, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutritio
