Researchers used a new type of stent to treat narrowing in the main artery of pigs. They wanted to see how the body reacts when the stent is placed early, not just in the short term. The study followed each animal for many months to observe changes in blood flow and heart function. The first result
Research shows that when you eat isn’t just about hunger—it could affect your metabolism and heart health in surprising ways. A recent review found that people who eat most of their calories after 5 p. m. tend to have worse blood sugar control, lower insulin sensitivity, and a higher chance of obesi
Research shows about a third of young adults now spend over five hours a day on their phones, mostly watching videos and checking news—not talking to friends.

Researchers are looking into whether skipping meals during Ramadan could slow down changes linked to type 2 diabetes. Telomeres are small caps on the ends of cells that get shorter as we age or face health problems. People with type 2 diabetes often have shorter telomeres, which might explain why th
Researchers tracked adults for more than twenty years and found three everyday routines that together lowered chances of developing major long-term illnesses. Those who ate more vegetables, moved their bodies regularly, and kept weight steady saw a 21% drop in chronic disease risk compared to others
Research keeps pointing to a strong link between difficult childhood experiences and feelings of shame later in life. But studies on this topic haven’t always agreed on how strong that connection really is. Some show a weak relationship, while others suggest a much stronger one. Because of these mix
Researchers have found that people with multiple sclerosis (MS) often show a brain age that’s older than their actual years. This gap, called brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD), is linked to worse physical disability and trouble with memory or focus. But here’s the big question: Could certai
Research shows kids from poorer families often eat less healthy food than richer kids. This gap in diet can lead to health problems later in life. A big question is whether better access to grocery stores and fresh food makes a difference. Scientists tested this idea using cash gifts for low-income
Research shows that fast-paced city life and tough work demands often lead people to eat poorly, and Nigerian professionals aren’t immune to this problem. Male academics face a tough balancing act—they spend long hours preparing lectures, grading papers, and attending meetings, leaving little time f
Research shows that a month of simple strength exercises can actually speed up how fast the brain talks to muscles—even in older adults. In one study, people aged 18 to 84 tried handgrip training three times a week. After four weeks, their nerve signals traveled faster than before, proving the nervo
