    Higher Blood Pressure Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in Frail Older Adults–Study (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    High blood pressure raises the risk of dementia in healthy older adults. In frail ones, however, it may do the opposite. The finding raises the question of whether blood pressure should be viewed the same for every individual, but it also draws concern from experts who worry it could be misread as a license to ease off treatment in vulnerable patients. Researchers analyzed data from 6,135 older adults with an average age of 75 who participated in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocogn

    Melatonin May Ease Chronic Pain, Comparable to Some Medications (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Sleep is a great healer. Pain keeps you up, and being up makes pain worse—a cycle millions of people with chronic pain know well. Some researchers now think melatonin might help break it . The findings raise the question: Could this familiar sleep supplement have a supporting role in pain care? Researchers pooled results from studies of two groups: people with chronic pain lasting at least three months, and people recovering from musculoskeletal surgery such as joint replacement and spine surger

    Warning Sign for Common Stroke May Not Be Blockages, Study Finds (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Every year, millions of stroke survivors are prescribed aspirin, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and blood pressure medications to reduce their risk of another stroke. But for people who experience the common lacunar stroke—a type of ischemic stroke that occurs when a small, deep artery in the brain becomes blocked—research suggests such treatments may not target the main disease process. The study found that people with these arterial abnormalities had nearly five times the odds of having a lacunar

    High Homocysteine Level Linked to Fatigue–How to Lower It (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Persistent fatigue is often blamed on poor sleep, stress, or overwork. New research points to another possible piece of the puzzle: homocysteine, a little-known amino acid that is influenced by how the body processes folate and vitamin B12. In a study of 602 healthy Japanese adults, higher homocysteine levels were associated with greater physical fatigue in men and lower motivation in women. Homocysteine is a byproduct created when protein is metabolized. High homocysteine levels are not good, a

    The Best Way to Eat Blueberries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    You can eat a cup of blueberries every day and still miss out on most of their benefits—not because the fruit isn’t powerful, but because of what happens after you swallow it. How the berries were stored and prepared, what you eat them with, how your digestion works, and even the bacteria living in your gut all influence what your body can absorb and use. In the human body, polyphenols and anthocyanins reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Much of what is not absorbed in the upper gut reache
