Why some people grieve relationships before they've even started (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When 31-year-old Alexa V. feels the first flicker of a romantic connection, she starts mourning what could be before it has even had a chance to begin. "I don't feel excited when I meet men anymore, because ultimately, I know that it's going to end, or at least, that's what my brain tells me is going to happen," the Illinois resident, who requested that her surname be kept private, told Newsweek.

Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder that currently has no known cure, but a simple adjustment to when people eat could offer a new way to slow the progression of the inherited condition. A research team, from Oregon Health & Science University, found that a form of intermittent fasting was safe for those diagnosed and linked to improvements in several measures of the condition. "One of the most encouraging findings was that time-restricted eating appeared to reduce a key marker of neurode
