Can changing food texture reduce how much we eat? Dutch study investigates

A new randomized controlled trial protocol from the Netherlands will test whether altering the texture, and thus the eating rate, of ultra-processed foods can reduce daily energy intake. The study will investigate how sensory properties, such as food hardness, affect metabolism, appetite, and microbiome composition.

CoQ10 shows promise in boosting female fertility by reviving aging eggs

Researchers reviewed evidence on Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and found it may enhance mitochondrial function, improve oocyte quality, and counteract age-related fertility decline. The review highlights promising results from clinical, preclinical, and in vitro studies but calls for larger trials to confirm safety, dosing, and effectiveness.
