Spending too much time being sedentary is the number one habit to break to burn visceral fat.Smart exercise strategies such as starting small, setting a timer and variety can help.Nutrition, sleep and stress management are all helpful in reducing visceral fat. The Plank Challenge may be all over social media. But there’s another reason to burn off belly fat that has nothing to do with sculpting killer abs. Belly fat, technically known as visceral fat, can spell bad news for your health. If you’ve never heard of visceral fat before, this type of fat burrows deep into your abdomen, where…
Butternaise combines Tillamook butter and Kewpie mayo for a golden, crispy finish.The umami-rich spread added depth without overpowering the classic grilled cheese.Available online November 6, Butternaise brings diner-level flavor home. I’m a huge fan of grilled cheese. It’s comforting to dip a warm grilled cheese into a bowl of tomato soup on a rainy day. I love a classic grilled cheese from a diner, paired with fries. And, for a regular old lunch or dinner at home, I love to make a quick grilled cheese with a side salad to get me through the day. However, there’s the endless debate—do…
The number of requests for an online consultation submitted to general practices in England rose by almost 50% in the past year, official figures show.Data released by NHS England on 30 October show that 6 532 742 online consultation requests were submitted to practices in September 2025, a 49.9% rise from the 4 386 520 requests in September 2024.The data cover various forms of online communication, including booking a GP appointment and medication requests.1Overall, practices received 108.7 submissions per 1000 registered patients in September 2025, the data show. However, the rate of patient uptake varies widely across the country. One practice received 891.6 online…
Credit: American Heart Association For the first time, Yale researchers have been able to diagnose structural heart disease using the simple electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors found in a smartwatch. Their findings will be presented this week at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025. While wearable devices are increasingly used to diagnose and monitor heart diseases that affect the heartbeat, such as arrhythmia or atrial fibrillation, their single-lead ECG design has so far limited their ability to diagnose physical defects in the heart. However, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, a group of 600 patients in a real-world hospital…
The funds will be allocated via Dabur Ventures, an investment platform launched last Friday (Oct. 31).Digital-first companies with strong growth potential and are aligned with the firm’s long-term strategic vision are targets for investment. These businesses will need to operate across any of the five following areas: personal care, health care, wellness foods, beverages or Ayurveda. Its initial focus for investments will be India-based companies. CEO Mohit Malhotra said the move would help speed up the firm’s premiumization journey. “This strategic move reflects our belief in innovation as a growth engine, fast-tracks our shift toward premium offerings and positions us…
New nonprofit ALSAE unites science, arts and entertainment to change how society sees longevity and the diseases of aging. Longevity has long been a matter of data and discovery – less often of drama and direction. A new nonprofit, the Alliance for Longevity Science, Arts & Entertainment (ALSAE), believes that must change. The foundation, pronounced “all say,” has launched with the aim of bridging the precision of longevity science with the cultural reach of the creative industries – a fusion it hopes will move public understanding of aging research from the lab bench to the mainstream. Announced last month, ALSAE…
“One of the biggest threats to pangolins globally is habitat loss, but here in Singapore, road accidents are a larger immediate threat. We live in an urban city but we have a lot of wildlife all around us as well, so some encounters are inevitable.I work as a veterinarian at Mandai Wildlife Group, which manages the Singapore Zoo. In this image, taken in May, I’m examining Berani, a big male Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica), at our facilities in the zoo. Berani — which means brave in Malay — was a wild pangolin who first came to us after a probable…
A new study reveals how a child’s early gut microbiome may influence their risk of developing depression, anxiety, or other internalizing symptoms during childhood. According to researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health, US, the effect relates to the way bacteria affect communication across emotion-related brain networks. The observational study found that young children with a higher amount of gut bacteria in the Clostridiales order and Lachnospiraceae family were more at risk of experiencing internalizing symptoms — an umbrella term that covers symptoms of depression and anxiety — in middle childhood.However, this appears to be an indirect…
Credit: KATERYNA KON/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/ Getty Images Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed a detailed single-cell atlas of the developing human brain, offering a new reference point for evaluating lab-grown neurons used in Parkinson’s disease (PD) research and other brain disorders. The study, titled “BrainSTEM: A single-cell multi-resolution fetal brain atlas reveals transcriptomic fidelity of human midbrain cultures,” and published in Science Advances, introduces a two-tier mapping framework called BrainSTEM (Brain Single-cell Two tiEr Mapping), which helps assess how closely in vitro models resemble actual midbrain development. The team analyzed nearly 680,000 cells from fetal brain tissue spanning postconception…
Gene editing techniques, including CRISPR, prime editing, and nucleases, allow scientists to tackle genetic diseases, cancer, and more. Researchers increasingly apply these techniques to study and develop strategies for gene editing in areas such as target discovery, disease modeling, and precision medicine.Download this ebook from The Scientist’s Creative Services Team to learn how scientists use cutting-edge gene editing technologies to advance personalized medicine therapeutic approaches for a wide range of disorders.
