Hispanic/Latina women with history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy more likely to have heart abnormalities

Hispanic/Latina women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) – conditions marked by high blood pressure during pregnancy – are more likely to have abnormalities in their heart structure and function decades later when compared with women without a history of HDP, according to a National Institutes of Health-supported study.

Weight loss leads to dynamical changes in brain function and gut microbiome

Worldwide, more than one billion people are obese. Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers. But permanently losing weight isn’t easy: complex interactions between body systems such as gut physiology, hormones, and the brain are known to work against it. One method for weight loss is intermittent energy restriction (IER), where days of relative fasting alternate with days of eating normally.

Navy beans may improve gut health and metabolism in colorectal cancer survivors

Incorporating navy beans into the diet of colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors has the potential to positively impact both gut and host health by modulating markers linked to obesity and disease, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Abnormally high levels of 'good cholesterol' linked to elevated risk of dementia in older adults

Abnormally high levels of HDL-C, colloquially known as 'good cholesterol', are associated with an increased risk of dementia in older adults, a Monash University-led study has found.

Can loneliness lead to diabetes? New study reveals the role of physical activity and BMI

Study investigates the relationship between loneliness and diabetes, finding that physical activity and BMI mediate this link, but diet quality does not. It highlights the complex interplay between loneliness, lifestyle factors, and diabetes risk, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to improve both mental and physical health.
