Farmworker Rajendra Kamble points to the white-tiled floor of his house whenever someone asks about his worsening health.By evening, the tiles turn grey with soot from the burning of agricultural residue in nearby sugarcane nurseries. After more than a decade of inhaling this smoke in Jambhali village of Western India, his health got much worse. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) seven years ago, followed by hyperthyroidism two years later.“I am 55 now, but I feel much older,” he said. Doctors and community healthcare workers told him that constant exposure to polluted air was not only harming…
The best time to take an omega-3 supplement is with a meal that contains fat. Consider the type of omega-3 supplement, where it is sourced and your activity level. Enhance absorption by taking with food, staying consistent and checking for freshness. Omega-3 fatty acids are an important part of the human diet, and they play a crucial role in many bodily systems, including heart, brain and joint function. These fats—found in a variety of foods like fish, flaxseeds and walnuts—are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and potential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and even…
I am not someone who seeks out specialized gadgets for specific kitchen tasks, but one exception I always make is an oil sprayer. I need a fine mist of olive oil for air frying and baking because it helps quickly coat ingredients without excessive, uneven amounts. One thing I don’t need? Bad-tasting oil. It’s the main reason I don’t use those aerosol bottles from the grocery store. I don’t love what’s inside, including the taste, ingredients and overall quality. The second I moved into my apartment four months ago, I knew I needed a fillable oil sprayer that checked a…

The closure of the US government has shuttered the Smithsonian Institution’s museums and zoo and some of its research facilities. Credit: Anna Moneymaker/GettyThe shutdown of the US government, about to enter its third week, is starting to take a toll on US science. Since the shutdown began, the administration of US President Donald Trump has cancelled funding for clean-energy research projects and laid off public-health workers. The activities of some federally funded museums and laboratories have been suspended, along with the processing of grant applications by agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF).Funding to run the US government expired…
Credit: FatCamera/Getty Images Memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and a sense of mental cloudiness—often referred to as “chemo brain”—affect as many as 75% of cancer patients and can last long after treatment ends. Now, researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have found evidence that these cognitive issues may stem from disruptions in the brain’s lymphatic system caused by chemotherapy. The study, published in Communications Biology, provides a new avenue to study and potentially mitigate these long-term neurological side effects of chemotherapy. “Our study is important because it explores a very real, hidden layer of chemotherapy treatment that leaves…
Because bodybuilding places high energy demands on the body to reach an aesthetic goal, rice cakes, a source of refined carbohydrates, may fill a functional role in the diets of some bodybuilders.In the bodybuilding world, attaining a lean, muscular physique tends to be a higher priority than optimizing nutrition just for the sake of health.

Blood smear of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. [toeytoey2530/Getty Images] Cancer doesn’t follow a linear path—it evolves, adapts, and forks. Even within a single tumor, individual cells behave differently. They mutate, diverge, and form heterogeneous clones that fuel progression and defy treatment. To circumvent this clonal heterogeneity, researchers must zoom in on the molecular machinery of individual cells. A team of researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Adelaide has developed a new tool that enhances the ability to track multiple gene mutations in individual cancer cells while simultaneously recording gene activity. By using diverse pathology samples and rapid processing…
