Bread often gets a bad reputation, but it can be loaded with hard-to-get nutrients.For maximum nutrition, choose 100% whole-wheat or 100% whole-grain bread. Look for loaves that are high in fiber, yet low in sodium and added sugars. One thing most people can agree on: Bread is awesome. It’s satisfying, versatile and a staple in many countries around the world. But the bread aisle can seem like it’s overflowing with options vying for your attention, especially if you’re looking for one to support your health. To help you slice through the confusion, we turned to registered dietitians for their expert recommendations.…

Midlife Is the Time to Move, Strengthen Muscles, and Stretch MoreBoth the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise a week for adults up to age 64.[1][2] That works out to about 30 minutes a day, five to seven days a week. It’s also recommended that adults do muscle-strengthening exercises, focusing on all areas of the body, at least two days a week. And in midlife, it’s important to incorporate stretching both before and after physical…
Inbrain seeks to enhance BCI technology with AI agents able to adapt interventions based on real-time neural feedback. Barcelona-based neurotech Inbrain Neuroelectronics has entered into a strategic collaboration with Microsoft to integrate “agentic AI” into its graphene-based brain-computer interface (BCI) platform. The collaboration aims to leverage Microsoft’s large language models and data analytics tools to enable adaptation of Inbrain’s interfaces in real time. Inbrain claims the collaboration will ultimately enable AI agents to act autonomously on continuous patient brain data, learning and adjusting interventions based on real-time neural feedback. The companies aim to create BCI-powered therapies capable of continuously optimizing…
Nature, Published online: 11 November 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-03584-6The ability to change your mind in response to better evidence is a hallmark of human cognition. Experiments now show that chimps are capable of rational thought too.
Researchers also found improved insulin sensitivity and pancreatic function in the intervention phase, compared to the placebo phase. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterised by insulin resistance, high blood sugar, inflammation, and immune imbalance. While current drug treatments are effective, they often cause gastrointestinal issues, hypoglycemia, and metabolic side effects. There has been growing interest in alternative interventions, particularly those targeting the gut microbiome, which regulates metabolism, immunity and glucose. To this end, researchers wanted to study the therapeutic efficacy of BA-2591, a locally derived bacterial strain, on the metabolic and immune markers in adults with T2DM. “Given that…

As consumers increasingly adopt plant-forward diets, Balchem highlights a hidden nutritional challenge associated with these lifestyle choices: anti-nutrients. These compounds reduce the absorption of essential minerals, increasing the risk of deficiencies. To address this issue, Balchem reveals how its chelated minerals, under the Albion brand, can optimize plant-rich diets by increasing mineral bioavailability. Ahead of the company’s webinar next week, “Bioavailability Breakthrough: Smarter Supplementation for Plant-Rich Diets,” Nutrition Insight meets with one of Balchem’s expert speakers, Oliver Riemann, senior manager for Marketing and Business Development.Follow this link to register for the free webinar, which will broadcast on Tuesday, November 18,…

Transferring the microbiome from inactive mice to other mice also transferred their behavior.Image credit:©iStock, Mary SwiftAnimals and their microbiomes have evolved alongside one another for millions of years. But when nature selects for specific animal traits, it’s hard to tease apart the role of changing microbiomes from changes in host genetics.Now, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen found that changing the mouse microbiome, and not the animal’s genetics, can lead to behavioral changes in just four generations.1 These findings show that traits can be passed not only through an animal’s genes, but through their microbiomes as well,…
