Most mental health programs for new mothers focus only on them. But when a mother struggles, the whole family feels it. Partners and other family members often don't know how to help or what to expect. That's why one team tried something different. They created a short online session just for the pe
A recent study tested whether two fruits—avocado and mango—could help adults who are at risk of diabetes. The research found that eating one avocado and one cup of mango every day for two months improved blood flow and slightly lowered blood pressure in men with prediabetes. Scientists believe the g
Virginia is caught in a legal tug-of-war over who controls the state’s political map. Last week, voters approved a new congressional district plan drawn by Democrats, which could flip four GOP-held House seats in November.

At West Virginia International Yeager Airport, two border collies named Hercules and Ned work full‑time to keep planes clear of wildlife. They patrol the airfield from early morning until late afternoon, chasing birds and small animals away before flights take off or land. The dogs were hired becaus
Most runners use earbuds to listen to music or podcasts, not to study their movement. But what if those tiny devices could also measure how you run? Researchers tested this idea by equipping earbuds with motion sensors. They asked 30 runners—men and women—to jog on treadmills and solid platforms whi
More kids now spend hours glued to screens instead of playing outside. Research shows that too much sitting leads to weaker muscles, poorer focus, and even trouble sleeping. Schools used to fill this gap with daily gym classes and recess, but many have cut back due to tight budgets or packed schedul
