Seeing as though September is my birthday month, I think it’s time to treat myself to some new workout gear. I have a few pairs of great walking sneakers, but I’ve been rotating through the same two shirts and pants for my workouts. I exercise at least four times a week, so I’ve been doing load after load of laundry just to have clean leggings for my next walk. Now is a great time to finally refresh my wardrobe with pieces from Lululemon’s “We Made Too Much” section, an overstock page that includes the brand’s most popular lines for less. …

The study was based on data from more than 5,000 pregnant women in China.

A study headed by Johns Hopkins University researchers has shown how an MRI technique that detects iron levels in different regions of the brain can predict the onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired older adults. The findings could potentially create a pathway to earlier interventions. The team carried out a prospective study involving 158 cognitively unimpaired patients, and used a technique called quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI to noninvasively measure brain iron at baseline. The researchers then followed the participants for up to 7.7 years. PET data was also available for 110 of the…

Nonstick pans are convenient and affordable, but they aren’t suited for every cooking task.Avoid using nonstick pans for sauces, high-heat cooking or for storing food, as this can reduce their effectiveness.To preserve the nonstick coating, always wash the pan by hand, avoid using metal utensils and store it properly. Nonstick pans are kitchen staples for good reason. Their nonstick coating makes them easy to clean and is perfect for delicate foods—like eggs and pancakes—that can easily stick to a traditional pan. They’re also generally more affordable than other pans, making them a favorite for both beginner home cooks and seasoned…

New research from the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre has found that genes play an active role in shaping the bacteria found in our gut, questioning the idea that gut health is influenced only by diet.  The gut microbiome is increasingly seen as vital to overall health, with Australia’s gut health supplement industry valued at over $400 million in 2024. After decades of research linking the gut microbiome to almost every chronic disease, it may seem like we’re all being held hostage by the bugs that live inside us. While gut microbes certainly influence everything from diabetes to depression, this study…

Cancer immunotherapy has historically focused on harnessing the ability of T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. Adaptive immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) unleash tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to fight cancer, offering cures to patients who have exhausted other treatment options. While tumors have a variety of strategies to develop ICI resistance, one of the key mechanisms is suppressing the recruitment of TILs. Turning immunologically “cold” tumors “hot” by activating innate immune recognition of cancer cells and recruiting TILs has been a longstanding goal of the immuno-oncology field.  In a new study published in Cell Reports Medicine titled “ENPP1 inhibitor with…

You might know that anaphylaxis — a severe allergic reaction — can occur in response to triggers such as nuts, insect bites, and certain medications. But physical activity can also induce anaphylaxis. Known as exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA), this rare condition affects about 0.05 percent of people at some point in life. But EIA is serious and potentially life threatening, so it’s crucial to know how to recognize the symptoms and respond properly — and promptly.e60dc2a1-f33c-4a05-9b50-8e3e8e597629c74dd548-8a02-41e2-8942-7eb6eb122bc4 Keep reading to learn more about EIA, including how food can be involved in these reactions and how to exercise safely with the condition.

AHA now recommends treatment for elevated blood pressure starting at 120–129/under 80 mmHg.High blood pressure (130/80+) remains a treatment threshold under the 2025 guidelines.Goal: reduce U.S. hypertension rates and risks of stroke, heart disease, and chronic conditions. High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) affects nearly half of American adults, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Having high blood pressure increases risk for stroke and heart disease, the leading causes of death in the U.S. Starting treatment for high blood pressure sooner could be the way to prevent more chronic heart conditions and events from…
