The link between a sedentary lifestyle and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease is becoming clearer.Being active benefits your sleep, mood, heart health and inflammation, helping to reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s. A brain-healthy diet, mental engagement and social connection also help to keep your mind healthy.

But what if a simple, everyday habit—something many of us do without a second thought—could be quietly putting our brains at risk? It’s a…

Doing less cardio and eating more fats are two “bad” things that can help reduce visceral fat.Eating healthy fats and consuming enough calories supports long-term fat loss.Getting enough rest and lowering stress are also effective things to do for visceral fat loss.

The reverse is…

But the company’s earnings per share (EPS) of negative 36 cents beat analyst consensus forecasts of a slightly worse negative 37…

The measure will support the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), a fund created earlier this year designed to accelerate discoveries in neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases such as…
