The walk through the jetway to board an aircraft speeds up the heartbeat. Strapping into the seat triggers leg-bobbing and sweat.

According to a recent study by Cleveland Clinic, more than 25 million U.S. adults suffer from flight anxiety, a number that increases following aviation incidents. The recent plane collision over the Potomac River that killed 67 passengers and a medevac jet crash in Philadelphia have renewed these fears for many travelers. “It’s scary to be up in the sky.

A recent study has projected that new cases of dementia will double by 2060, with an estimated one million adults expected to develop the degenerative brain condition. The disease, which gradually impairs cognitive function, ultimately leaves individuals unable to perform basic daily tasks such as eating, bathing, driving, and managing finances. While there is currently no cure or prevention for dementia, medical experts emphasize that several lifestyle modifications can help reduce the risk. Christine E. Kistler, associate professor in the University of Pittsburgh’s Division of Geriatric Medicine, notes that general health practices play a crucial role in dementia prevention. “All

Cases of late-stage breast cancer rose sharply among women under 40 over a recent 17-year period, according to research that points to a growing cancer risk for younger adults. The American College of Radiology study found that metastatic breast cancer cases increased by 3% from 2004 to 2021 in women aged 20 to 39, compared to a 1.4% rise in women in their 70s. The research team analyzed breast cancer diagnoses from 2004 to 2021, focusing on patients with aggressive breast cancer that had spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body at the time of diagnosis. “It’s

Just when everyone was popping the champagne over these two new RSV vaccines getting the green light, a major buzzkill rolled in. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now examining a possible link between these newly authorized shots and an increased risk of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This uncommon neurological disorder leads to the immune system of the body attacking its own nerves. This concerning development has created significant worries regarding the safety of these vaccines, especially for the elderly who are the main focus group. At the center of this storm are concerning facts revealed at

A revolutionary new approach to weight loss could rise above medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. By combining the appetite-suppressing hormone GLP-1 with special molecules that zero in on the brain’s appetite control center, this “Trojan horse” therapy achieved remarkable weight loss in mice – up to twice as much as GLP-1 alone in some cases. The drug co-developed by scientists at the University of Copenhagen and Novo Nordisk smuggles in molecules that directly regulate hunger alongside GLP-1. While currently approved GLP-1 medications just make people feel fuller, this two-pronged offensive strikes the appetite at its neurological roots. “The effect of

They’re advising caution with drugs like Ozempic or Wegovy, which contain semaglutide. These drugs have become extremely popular lately, and now there’s a shortage, so the FDA is allowing compounded versions. Amberly Johnson, director of Utah Poison Control, is alarmed by the increase in calls. “We’ve seen an increase—about a 600% increase in calls reported to us,” Johnson stated. Many of these calls stem from individuals mistakenly taking incorrect doses of the

The Food and Drug Administration announced a ban on red dye No. 3 in food products, marking the end of a decades-long delay in removing the artificial color additive despite evidence of its cancer-causing properties in animals. The decision comes 25 years after FDA scientists determined that rats fed large amounts of the dye developed malignant thyroid tumors at higher rates than those not exposed to the additive. Food manufacturers will have two years to reformulate their products, while pharmaceutical companies have three years to remove the dye from medicines. The ban extends restrictions already in place since 1990, when

California health officials have identified 16 human cases of bird flu this month as the virus spreads through dairy farms, raising concerns about worker safety and testing protocols. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the cases represent most of the country’s cattle-to-human transmissions of H5N1. The California Department of Public Health reports testing only 39 people for H5N1, the strain affecting cattle herds across the state. Workers who tested positive have experienced mild symptoms, including flu-like conditions and pink eye, with no hospitalizations reported. State authorities have confirmed bird flu infections at 178 California dairies since the

An Australian woman’s harrowing medical saga sounds too bizarre to be true – doctors shockingly discovered a live, wriggling worm parasite inhabiting her brain. In this world-first case, surgeons in Canberra extracted the 8cm-long roundworm from the 64-year-old patient’s skull. Typically found in pythons, the Ophidascaris robertsi specimen represented an unprecedented instance of this brain parasite infesting a human host. The patient’s journey from common symptoms to this grotesque revelation contains important lessons about emerging health threats. Initially, the woman from southeastern New South Wales experienced relatively routine issues like abdominal pain, diarrhea, coughing, fever and night sweats. But as

The trendy prebiotic soda Poppi is under fire, facing accusations of false advertising regarding the gut health advantages it touts. According to Newsweek, the new class-action complaint filed in San Francisco directly targets Poppi, a celebrity-endorsed prebiotic soda that has seen meteoric growth among health-conscious buyers. The suit, recently filed in California, accuses Poppi of false advertising by grossly exaggerating the gut health advantages of its beverages. Poppi has branded itself as a “healthy” soda alternative, with catchphrases like “Be Gut Happy” and “Be Gut Healthy” adorning its cans. These drinks boast apple cider vinegar, fruit juice, and prebiotic fiber,

However, researchers say this finding should not cause immediate alarm. “The U.S. generally has very good quality tap water,” said Julian Fairey, lead author of the Science study and environmental engineer at the University of Arkansas. The discovery comes amid ongoing discussions about water safety, including debates over fluoride and per-

New research suggests semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for obesity, could help people reduce their alcohol consumption. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry and led by a University of Southern California investigator, found that weekly injections of semaglutide decreased alcohol craving and consumption compared to placebo treatments. The clinical trial provides scientific validation for what many patients and physicians have observed anecdotally since these medications became widely used: individuals taking semaglutide often experience a diminished desire for alcohol. “This is the first randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of semaglutide designed to study the phenomenon,” said Christian Hendershot, the

LOS ANGELES — Three common medical conditions may explain why some heavy drinkers develop advanced liver disease while others do not, according to new research from Keck Medicine of University of Southern California. The study, published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, found that heavy drinkers with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high waist circumference face up to 2.4 times greater risk of developing advanced liver disease compared to those without these conditions. “The results identify a very high-risk segment of the population prone to liver disease and suggest that preexisting health issues may have a large impact on how alcohol

Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, is treated with levothyroxine, which is marketed under brand names including Synthroid. In the United States, it is the second most often prescribed drug for senior citizens. Approximately 23 million Americans, or 7% of the population, are prescribed this medication. The preliminary study found that levothyroxine users experienced greater bone mass and density loss over a six-year period than non-users, even when their thyroid function tested in the normal range.

Half of surveyed teenagers report no real-time social contact during hourly check-ins despite having access to numerous communication platforms. The findings emerge from a Harvard study led by researcher Laura Marciano, who tracked 500 teenagers’ social interactions over several weeks during summer break. The research adds to mounting evidence of technology’s complex role in loneliness and isolation—in 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared loneliness an epidemic. While technology in itself may not directly cause loneliness, researchers identified three key behavioral patterns linking digital habits with social

A new social media trend combining pickles with glitter has sparked both fascination and health concerns, prompting safety warnings from federal regulators about the consumption of decorative materials. The trend, known as “glickles” – pickles covered in glitter – has gained significant traction on TikTok, with one video garnering nearly six million views. The viral videos typically showcase pickles being submerged in pink glitter and stirred with a butter knife, creating a sparkly appearance. The FDA emphasizes the importance of using only glitter specifically labeled as edible. FDA spokesperson Dr. Marianna Naum stated, “Consumers should carefully check the label of

Airlines have transformed the flying experience over the past 40 years by steadily reducing passenger space. According to a USA Today, a 2019 study by Consumer Reports, a standard economy seat’s legroom has shrunk from 34 inches in the 1980s to just 30-31 inches today in most major carriers. This dramatic reduction stems from airlines packing more seats into planes to boost profits, a practice known in the industry as “densification.” To achieve these tighter configurations, airlines installed thinner “slimline” seats with less padding. In a 2022 report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), these seats reduced aircraft weight

Going to the gym to lose weight? New research says you might want to rethink that plan. A Duke University study found that people who exercise regularly burn about the same number of daily calories as those who rarely leave their desks. This proves that there’s no link between exercise and weight loss. In his research, Herman Pontzer, an evolutionary anthropologist at Duke University, discovered that hunter-gatherers from Tanzania’s Hadza tribe, despite their highly active lifestyle, burn roughly the same number of daily calories as sedentary office workers in the United States when accounting for body size. “That was unexpected,”

Your morning toast could be doing more than satisfying hunger. While most breads spike blood sugar and trigger digestive issues. Recent studies show sourdough bread, through its traditional fermentation process, may offer several health advantages, according to research published in the Journal of Nutrition. “It’s easy to incorporate sourdough into meals—top toasted sourdough with cottage cheese and tomato, mashed cannellini beans, or a runny egg,” says Elizabeth Barnes, RDN, medical expert at at Verywell Health. The fermentation process involves lactic acid bacteria and yeast, which produce prebiotic properties that enhance gut health, according to a 2023 study. While high baking

While many turn to greasy foods and pain relievers to combat hangovers, medical experts suggest that certain forms of exercise could help alleviate post-drinking discomfort when approached with proper precautions. However, they emphasize that the type and intensity of physical activity matter significantly. “There are very few settings where exercise is not beneficial,” said Dr. Andy Peterson, a team physician at the University of Iowa, describing exercise as “the closest thing we have to a miracle drug in medicine.” This benefit extends to hangovers, though Peterson notes important limitations. Medical professionals explain that alcohol consumption triggers multiple physiological responses that

As millions brace for peak virus season, winter illness prevention takes center stage in public health discussions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports a surge in four major viruses—norovirus, COVID-19, influenza, and RSV—each requiring distinct prevention strategies. While avoiding all winter illnesses proves challenging, experts say understanding how these viruses spread empowers people to protect themselves and their families through simple yet effective measures. According to the CDC guidelines, these illnesses show different signs. Norovirus brings vomiting and diarrhea that lasts one to three days. COVID-19 causes fever, cough, body aches, and sometimes loss of taste or smell

The vaccine-autism theory gained traction following a now-discredited study of 12 children published in The Lancet medical journal in 1998 by Andrew Wakefield. Multiple large-scale studies, including one encompassing Denmark’s entire child population, found no connection between vaccines and autism, regardless of vaccine type, ingredients, or scheduling. The Lancet retracted Wakefield’s article, and he lost his medical license. Social and institutional changes have played a significant role in increasing autism identification. Before the 1980s, many individuals with autism were institutionalized, limiting public awareness of the condition’s characteristics. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the introduction of special education services

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s selection for the nation’s top health position, pledges to remove chemical additives from America’s food supply, research reveals that a significant regulatory gap has allowed food manufacturers to introduce numerous unapproved substances into the American diet without proper oversight from the Food and Drug Administration. An analysis by the Environmental Working Group found that 98.7% of approximately 766 new food chemicals introduced into the food supply since 2000 did not receive FDA approval. Instead, food manufacturers have been utilizing a regulatory loophole that permits them to determine independently whether their ingredients are

Sleep experts say working out can help you snooze better, but watch when and how hard you exercise, especially if you have trouble sleeping. A regular, not-too-intense exercise habit can help you sleep by chilling you out and tweaking your brain chemistry. But pushing yourself too hard or working out right before bed might mess with your sleep. People who really struggle to sleep often have stress levels that are through the roof. “If you’ve got insomnia, your body tends to freak out over little things,” says Chris Kline, who teaches about health at the University of Pittsburgh.

As we get older, keeping our muscles strong and responsive becomes crucial, health professionals warn. Once we hit our 30s and 40s, our muscles start to shrink and weaken, which can throw a wrench in our health and daily activities. Marla Beauchamp, a PT and professor at McMaster University suggests that we can’t completely avoid age-related changes. Muscles take a hit – fewer fibers, and the ones left are smaller. This muscle wasting, called sarcopenia, chips away at about 3-8% of our muscle mass every 10 years after midlife. Muscle strength fades even faster than muscle size as we age.

That racing heartbeat. Those spiraling thoughts about last night’s conversations. The overwhelming sense of dread that grips you the morning after drinking – even when you did nothing embarrassing. This phenomenon, dubbed “hangxiety – the anxiety that accompanies hangovers,” affects countless drinkers worldwide. But neuroscience now reveals that your choice of alcohol might determine how severely you experience this post-drinking anxiety. The difference lies in the complex chemistry of various alcoholic beverages and how they interact with your brain. Beer and clear spirits appear to cause less hangxiety, while dark liquors like whiskey and brandy are more likely to trigger

Major social media platform X has become a haven for content promoting dangerous eating disorders, with minimal content moderation allowing such material to spread freely and even be algorithmically recommended to users, according to researchers and platform experts. X’s approach stands in stark contrast to other social media sites like Instagram and TikTok, which have implemented barriers to accessing eating disorder content. When users search for related terms on these platforms, they encounter warning screens directing them to mental health resources. On X, however, searching for eating disorder-related terms leads directly to accounts, posts, and community recommendations promoting dangerous behaviors.

A global study led by the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) aims to map structural brain changes in people with bipolar disorder, a chronic mental illness that currently lacks biological tools for diagnosis and treatment. The research initiative, funded by the National Institutes of Health, brings together more than 230 psychiatric researchers worldwide under the Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium’s Bipolar Disorder Working Group. The project will analyze brain scans from 3,500 individuals with bipolar disorder and 8,500 healthy controls across 45 research centers. Christopher R.K. Ching, assistant professor of

Marriage appears to slow the aging process for men but shows no similar benefit for women, according to a new study published in International Social Work that tracked adults over two decades. Researchers found married men aged more successfully than their never-married counterparts, while women showed no significant differences in aging outcomes based on marital status. The study followed participants aged 45 to 85, examining physical fitness, mental health, social connections and subjective age perception. Marital disruptions had negative impacts across gender lines. Men who separated, divorced or lost spouses to death showed poorer aging outcomes. Divorced and separated women

A California emergency room physician has brought renewed attention to a Navy SEAL power-napping technique that promises to refresh tired individuals in just 10 minutes. Dr. Joe Whittington, known to his 2.1 million TikTok followers as Dr. Joe MD, recently shared the method first popularized by retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink. The technique involves a specific body positioning that practitioners say maximizes the benefits of brief rest periods. “Okay, so you’re dead a– tired, but you only have 10 minutes. I’m going to show you the Navy SEAL-inspired power napping technique that many of our elite forces swear by,” he

Cold-related deaths in the United States have more than doubled between 1999 and 2022. According to new research examining data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3,571 fatalities have been recorded in 2022 alone. “Even though we are in this warming world, cold-related deaths are still a public health issue in the U.S.,” said Michael Liu, a Harvard Medical School student and lead author of the study.. While winters across America are now averaging four degrees warmer compared to 50 years ago, as reported by Climate Central, an independent research group, climate change has introduced more frequent episodes

The battle against time may be fought – and potentially won – in the first hours after dawn. New research reveals that your morning routine could be the secret weapon in slowing down the biological clock, with scientists identifying seven key habits that may influence how quickly we age. While aging remains inevitable, health researchers note that individual aging rates vary significantly, often correlating with established morning routines. These practices range from proper hydration to mindful meditation and consistent sleep patterns. Research indicates that hydration plays a vital role in the aging process. The human body comprises 60 percent water,

The colleague who takes credit for everyone’s work, the friend who constantly brags, the partner who believes they are always right—these behaviors may signal more than just difficult personalities. Mental health experts identify them as potential signs of a superiority complex, a psychological pattern where people overestimate their worth to compensate for deep-seated insecurities. Mental health experts describe a superiority complex as a psychological pattern where people show an inflated sense of self-worth and abilities to mask deep feelings of inferiority. Alfred Adler, a psychologist, first noticed this pattern of behavior in the early 1900s, and the idea behind the

A can of soda may seem harmless, but multiply that sweet sip by billions worldwide, and the health impact is staggering. Sugary drinks were linked to 2.2 million new cases of Type 2 diabetes in 2020 alone, according to a study published Nature Medicine. Experts analyzed data from 184 countries to assess the relationship between sugary drink consumption and chronic diseases. The study found that beyond diabetes cases, these beverages were also associated with 1.2 million new cases of cardiovascular disease in the same year. The impact varied significantly across regions, with Latin America and the Caribbean experiencing the highest

Doctors in New York City say spending too much time on the toilet could be bad for your health. To avoid issues like hemorrhoids and weak pelvic muscles, doctors recommend keeping bathroom breaks under 10 minutes. Dr. Lai Xue, a colorectal surgeon at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas has noticed more people coming in with problems from lingering on the toilet. “When patients present to me with complaints, one of the main areas we have to delve deeply into is spending a lot of time on the toilet,” Xue said.

Researchers have identified environmental pollution as an emerging risk factor for osteoporosis, particularly affecting women over 50, adding to traditional risk factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking. Scientists have linked various pollutants, including air particulates, heavy metals, and synthetic chemicals, to accelerated bone deterioration and increased fracture risks. “Air pollution is a neglected risk factor for osteoporosis because for years we’ve focused on things like lifestyle factors, hormones, and genetics,” says Tuan Van Nguyen, professor of epidemiology at the University of New South Wales, Australia. The condition affects approximately 10 million Americans over age 50, with

Recent studies indicate that medications like semaglutide, marketed as Wegovy, and tirzepatide, sold as Zepbound, are demonstrating substantial effectiveness in weight management for adults with obesity or overweight conditions. At the same time, medical experts emphasize the importance of proper usage and monitoring. These injectable weight loss medications, which received approval specifically for adults who are overweight or have obesity along with conditions such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, operate by mimicking specific bodily hormones. According to physician Louis Aronne, director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Center at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City,

A novel pre-sleep routine known as the “10-3-2-1-0” formula is gaining attention among experts as a potential solution for individuals struggling with sleep issues. Research indicates that more than one-third of adults do not obtain adequate rest each night. The structured approach provides specific time-based guidelines designed to promote better sleep quality by regulating daily habits that can interfere with natural sleep cycles. Experts emphasize that insufficient sleep correlates with increased risks of various health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, cognitive decline, compromised immunity, depression, anxiety, and other chronic health problems. The formula begins by eliminating caffeine consumption 10 hours

There is new hope in the fight against a sexually transmitted disease that impacts many people around the world. Medical scientists have taken remarkable preliminary strides toward forging an effective chlamydia vaccine to vanquish this stealthy yet pervasive sexually transmitted infection. Chlamydia case tallies have soared in recent years, with over 1.6 million U.S. infections chronicled in 2022 alone, per CDC epidemiological data. However, these jarring statistics likely understate the true pervasiveness, as this bacterial invader frequently remains asymptomatic, eluding detection.

For millions of people, a steaming hot shower offers a moment of bliss—a daily ritual that soothes tired muscles and washes away stress. However, emerging research suggests that this comfort may come at a cost to skin and hair health, forcing scientists and dermatologists to reconsider the impact of this common habit. According to dermatologists and researchers who study the effects of water temperature on skin health, a 2022 study found that hot water exposure weakens the skin’s protective barrier, increases water loss, and leads to redness. “There are benefits to warmer showers or baths, so I do not want

The popular obesity drug is showing promise in easing knee pain, a new study finds. The New England Journal of Medicine just published a big study showing semaglutide works way better than placebo pills for knee pain. They looked at 407 overweight people with bad knees for over a year. People taking the real drug said their pain dropped by about 42 points out of 100. The placebo group only felt about 28 points better. “They were really in pain,” said Dr. Henning Bliddal, the principal investigator for the study and a rheumatologist at Copenhagen University Hospital. “They can’t exercise.

New research from Stanford University is challenging traditional views on aging, suggesting the process unfolds at vastly different rates across organs within the same individual. The study, published recently in Nature, analyzed blood samples from over 44,530 adults to examine how various organs age relative to a person’s chronological age. Researchers found about one-third of participants had at least one organ significantly “older” than their actual age based on molecular markers. “This research demonstrates just how complicated aging is,” said Hamilton Se-Hwee Oh, lead author and postdoctoral researcher at Stanford. “It’s not a uniform process affecting the whole body simultaneously.”

When was the last time you thought about how sex affects your health? Medical research shows that going without intimacy isn’t just frustrating – it can actually harm your physical and mental well-being. Now, experts are sharing exactly what happens to your body during long periods without sex. Medical experts warn that prolonged periods without sexual activity can lead to various physical and mental health complications, with effects becoming apparent within weeks of abstinence. Sexual health researchers have identified multiple risks associated with extended periods without intimacy, ranging from psychological impacts to potential physical changes in the body. Dr. Tara

Most of our daily thoughts are negative, but experts recommend a 10-second brain training technique for reversing this tendency. Neuropsychologists and mental health specialists have identified a method called “installation” that shows promise in reducing negative thoughts by deliberately extending positive experiences in the brain. The method, developed by neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, Ph.D., focuses on deliberately extending positive experiences to create lasting changes in the brain’s neural pathways. “Without this installation — without the transfer of the experience from short-term memory buffers to long-term storage — beneficial experiences such as feeling cared about are momentarily pleasant but have no lasting

Neuroscientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla have discovered a brain pathway that controls voluntary breathing and reduces anxiety, potentially paving the way for new targeted medications. The research, published in Nature Neuroscience, identifies how conscious breathing patterns can influence mental state and offers scientific validation for practices like meditation and yoga. The study reveals a specific circuit between the brain’s cortex and stem that regulates voluntary breathing patterns, distinct from automatic breathing. This discovery provides the first scientific explanation for how intentionally slowing one’s breath can reduce anxiety and fear. “This top-down breathing circuit has

A recent study by the University of California, Los Angeles revealed Gen Z’s top concern is feeling secure in an uncertain world. Young people overwhelmingly reported that safety was their number one priority. This also indicated how young people are still more inclined to prioritize empathy and compassion over gaining attention. When asked about their goals, most of the 1,644 young Americans surveyed put safety at the top of their list. Other high-ranking goals included “to be kind,” “to have a lot of fun,” “self-acceptance,” and “to be in good shape.” In this study, “being rich” and “being famous” were

A new European study finds that while a significant number of women have admitted to simulating orgasm, many eventually abandon the practice as they foster more open communication with their partners and develop a greater sense of sexual self-acceptance. The research, published in the Journal of Sex Research, analyzed responses from 11,541 participants across six European countries. The data showed that 13% of respondents currently fake orgasms, while 28% reported having done so in the past before stopping. About 51% stated they had never engaged in the practice. Women were more than twice as likely as men to currently fake

Many people think chocolate cravings during periods are caused by hormonal changes, but new research points to culture as a bigger influence than biology. So, is period chocolate cravings a myth? Research shows that many American women experience chocolate cravings around their period. However, according to the Washington Post, studies from the last 20 years suggest that these “period cravings” might be influenced by culture rather than biology alone. In a 2006 Cornell University study, over 300 female students were surveyed, and 91% of the American participants reported craving chocolate. For most, these cravings were strongest right before their period.

Feeling down when young may mess with your memory later, a new study suggests. According to research just published in Neurology, experiencing depressive symptoms in your youth could impact your thinking and recall abilities by the time you reach middle age. Scientists followed over 3,000 individuals for 20 years, having them fill out a questionnaire every 5 years about issues like changes in appetite, sleep problems, lack of concentration, and feelings of sadness or low self-worth. According to the New York Post, the participants were placed into four categories based on how their symptoms evolved: consistently low, decreasing medium, constant

A huge change is happening in the food world, questioning old ideas about where our meat comes from. This new kind of meat, cleverly named plant-based meat or “unicorn meat,” is either made from plants or grown from cells in a lab. This fresh, cutting-edge idea is still getting established. However, it could be an ethical, environmentally-friendly option compared to regular meat that’s also healthier. At its heart, unicorn meat aims to mimic traditional meat sources’ rich flavors, succulent textures, and nutritional might. But it does so through innovative culinary alchemy. Trailblazers like Upside Foods and Impossible Foods are spearheading

Most older adults don’t trust health information generated by AI, according to a new University of Michigan study. The survey polled nearly 3,379 Americans aged 50 and older earlier this year. Three-quarters of those surveyed said they wouldn’t trust health advice from AI. Trust levels varied across demographic groups. Women, individuals with lower education or income levels, and those who had not visited a healthcare provider in the past year were less likely to trust AI-generated health information found online. The poll also examined older adults’ confidence in identifying accurate health information. One in five respondents reported little or no

Doctors and dietitians are raising major concerns over an eating condition they’re calling “orthorexia” – an extreme, obsession with eating only healthy foods. The term orthorexia was first used over 25 years ago in 1997 by Dr. Steven Bratman to label the strict eating habits of people who cut things out of their diet, experience malnutrition, and limit their foods based on quality. Unlike bulimia or anorexia, which involve issues with food quantity, this condition is an unhealthy obsession with only eating healthy organic foods. Orthorexia nervosa is not officially listed as a clinical diagnosis in the current Diagnostic and

Experts warn this segment is grappling with serious psychological distress that frequently goes unnoticed due to how depression manifests differently in young men. The consequences of this blind spot could prove dire. The crux of the problem? Depression in teenage boys often doesn’t fit society’s preconceived notions.

Spreading rapidly across the internet like wildfire, the ‘girl dinner‘ trend has captured the imagination of food enthusiasts from all walks of life, sparking widespread discussion and interest. This seemingly lighthearted concept started as a viral TikTok trend before being officially cemented in Dictionary.com‘s hallowed pages. The popular online reference bestowed lexical legitimacy on ‘girl dinner‘ by formally defining it as “an attractively presented collection of snacks that involve little preparation, such as small quantities of cold cuts, cheese, fruit, cherry tomatoes, etc., deemed sufficient to constitute a meal for one.” This dictionary induction signifies the trend’s transition from ephemeral

One such property embracing this trend is the historic Hotel Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles.

A concerning outbreak of Salmonella from contaminated charcuterie meats has hospitalized nearly 20 Americans so far, with instances across 30 states. Epidemiological tracing links bacterial infections to certain Fratelli Beretta charcuterie products containing Coppa. However, with many brands affected and gaps in testing, the true scope of the outbreak remains uncertain even as recalled meats continue to sicken consumers. Real threats persist while investigators pursue decisive actions to limit further contamination and treat those struggling with severe symptoms. As of mid-February 2024, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) directly verified 87 affected patients nationally. However, Agency estimates predict over 2,500

For years, the 29-year-old Sydney native had been caught up in the intoxicating cycle of looking for love online.

The fact that it is starting at such a young age is extremely concerning, and health professionals are concerned about the long-term consequences. According to the study, girls are dealing with early periods and taking longer to develop a regular monthly cycle.

Loneliness – a feeling that weighs heavy on the hearts of many, even in our hyper-connected digital age. It’s a paradox that while technology binds us virtually, true human bonds often fray. San Mateo County took a bold stand, becoming the nation’s first to declare loneliness a public health crisis demanding urgent action. The physical and mental toll loneliness extracts is staggering.

If you’ve ever felt a nagging sense of worry or unease that just won’t go away, no matter how hard you try to rationalize it, you may have experienced the persistent dread associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

It manifests as a constant irrational worry, even when there is little or no apparent reason for concern.

In our looks-obsessed culture, it’s a sad truth that many people, especially young folks, develop negative feelings about their bodies. The body positivity movement tried to tackle this by encouraging self-love and acceptance of diverse body types. However, more experts now argue that body neutrality may be a more realistic and mentally healthy approach. The core idea behind body neutrality is rejecting the flawed notion that our bodies carry some inherent moral value based purely on their physical appearance. Rather than pushing for an idealized vision of loving one’s body unconditionally, neutrality encourages appreciating our bodies for their incredible capabilities

It started with a student named Andres Ardisson Korat at Harvard. He was just doing his doctoral research on dairy and diseases when he noticed something weird.

When couples come together, open and honest conversations build closeness and understanding. Silent treatment in relationships can spell the death knell to this bonding and companionship if communication between the couple falls through. However, many still fall into this harmful pattern—the cold shoulder, withholding words, refusal to speak. Purposely depriving your partner of words, often as punishment or to exert control, causes profound emotional pain that can tear even the strongest relationships apart. This “silent treatment in relationships” may seem tame, but its roots are surprisingly cruel. In the 19th century, sailors used merciless silence to discipline misbehaving crew members

Coined by comedian Hope Woodard, “boysober” refers to a Gen z men who take yearlong break from sex and dating, almost a celibacy rebrand. From TikTok creators proudly donning “Celibate Club” merchandise to online forums brimming with discussions about choosing self-restraint over indulgence, this unorthodox trend is redefining masculinity and flipping the script on what it means to be a respected, desirable young man in today’s dating scene. As the Boysober movement gains traction, an intriguing question arises: When did the centuries-old practice of celibacy become the ultimate symbol of rebellious cool?

Our obsession with self-improvement is making people miserable, according to experts. Psychologist Meytal Eyal has observed an “epidemic of self-hatred” from constantly striving to better ourselves while never feeling adequate. This hyperfixation on the self manifests in elaborate self-care rituals or cutting out “toxic” friends to reach an idealized version of oneself. However, socioeconomic and systemic barriers also impact people’s ability to feel fulfilled. Marginalized communities in particular struggle with feelings of insufficiency. All humans are motivated to improve their lives, but this survival impulse can be taken too far. Our incredible ability to adapt, called hedonic adaptation, means the

A recent national survey revealed that one in five adults in the United States experiences loneliness on a daily basis. The findings, part of the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index, indicate that 20% of American adults reported feeling lonely “a lot of the day yesterday.” This figure represents an increase from earlier this year and marks the highest rate of daily loneliness recorded in the past two years. However, it remains below the peak of 25% observed during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2021. Dan Witters, research director of the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index, offered insight

People thought that measles was a disease of the past, but its scary comeback has broken that illusion. Several new measles outbreaks have emerged across multiple states including California and Michigan. Additionally, seven cases were identified among students at the same elementary school in Florida. These incidents highlight how the highly contagious measles virus continues to spread in communities around the country. Matthew Ferrari, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State University, aptly describes the situation as a “pile of firewood” with each outbreak acting as a match, increasing the risk of a larger conflagration.

This jarring spike mirrors the decline in youth mental well-being throughout the crisis and its aftermath. Most strikingly, the findings expose profound gender-based disparities underpinning this trend. For adolescent females between 12-17 years old, the rate at which antidepressants were dispensed skyrocketed by an astonishing 130% above pre-pandemic levels after March 2020. The situation was scarcely improved for young adult women aged 18-25, with the dispensing rate for this demographic spiking

Hannah Roth picked up vaping to help deal with the stress of the COVID-19 lockdowns. The 30-year-old Tennessee mother of two had never touched a cigarette before turning to vaping. She thought it was a safer alternative to smoking. Roth couldn’t have been more wrong about the dangers of vaping. Last month, she ended up in the emergency room, struggling to breathe.

The fascinating quest to become a healthy centenarian – living not just to the milestone age of 100 years, but doing so with a high quality of life – reveals surprising gender differences, according to longevity researcher Maddy Dychtwald. For women, the road to a long life expectancy with good health is surprisingly different from that of men. Even young adults in the current generation should start focusing on key factors that can extend both their lifespan and healthspan. Women have certainly won the longevity lottery by living an average of six years longer than men in the United States.

Coffee lovers and caffeine consumers may need to reassess their daily intake, as new research sheds light on the potential cardiovascular risks associated with high caffeine consumption. According to the New York Post, a recent study presented at the American College of Cardiology conference in New Delhi, India, researchers found a possible link between excessive caffeine intake and heightened cardiovascular health hazards.

The safety of America’s drinking water supplies has emerged as a critical national security concern, with alarming warnings about potentially devastating cyberattacks. In an unprecedented move, top federal officials sounded the alarm this week over the “drinking water issue” – malicious hacking attempts by hostile nations like Iran and China targeting the systems that provide communities with their most essential resource – clean drinking water. As cyber warfare tactics rapidly evolve, the harsh reality is that the nation’s vast water infrastructure could be just one vulnerability away from devastating disruptions that threaten public health, economic stability, and the fundamental lifeline

In a remarkable discovery, an international team of researchers has found evidence suggesting ancient Egyptians may have attempted treatments or medical explorations of human cancer, including possible cancer surgery, over 4,000 years ago. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Frontiers in Medicine, provide an extraordinary new perspective on the origins of cancer treatment. The researchers examined two 4,000-year-old Egyptian skulls from the University of Cambridge’s Duckworth Collection. One skull belonged to a man aged 30 to 35 who lived between 2687 and 2345 BC. The other was from a woman over 50 years old, dating back to 663-343 BC.

A growing trend in beverage consumption raises questions about hydration: is sparkling water as hydrating as plain water? Research indicates that sparkling water provides similar hydration benefits, though some factors may influence individual preferences. Experts agree that hydration is essential for overall health. The body loses water through daily activities, and adequate intake is vital for maintaining functions such as temperature regulation and nutrient transport. Carbonated water can reportedly hydrate the body just as effectively as still water. Researchers tested various types of water, including mineral, sparkling, and still water, on hydration levels in participants. The results indicated that participants

Lately, terms like “dry drowning” and “secondary drowning” have been making more appearances in the media. While these terms describe specific conditions related to water, doctors just call it all “drowning.” “Drowning is drowning,” says Dr. Michael D.

Regardless of whether water fully enters the lungs or symptoms appear later, doctors treat all cases the same. In a USA Today article, he explains that it doesn’t matter if your lungs filled up with water or if symptoms appeared later on. “Generally, doctors refer to it all as
