A 2025 study published in Frontiers in Nutrition found that adults who consumed more live dietary microbes—like those in fermented foods—had significantly fewer migraines. The gut-brain connection suggests these microbes reduce inflammation and improve nervous system balance.

A 2025 study in Frontiers in Nutrition found that people with more muscle and less visceral fat had up to 61% lower risk of kidney stones. The link held steady even after adjusting for age, BMI, and health status.

A 2025 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that higher intakes of black tea, berries, citrus fruits, and apples were linked to a lower risk of frailty, physical decline, and poor mental health in older adults. Women with the highest flavonoid intake had up to a 15% lower risk of frailty.

A 2025 review in Frontiers in Nutrition highlights that fish are rich in bioactive compounds, omega-3 fatty acids, and high-quality proteins, which can help prevent cardiovascular, neurological, and inflammatory diseases.

A 2025 study led by McGill University found that nearly one-third of all antibiotics consumed by humans—about 8,500 tons—end up in rivers each year, even after wastewater treatment.

A 2025 study from Uppsala University found that even short-term sleep deprivation raises inflammation-related proteins linked to cardiovascular disease, even in healthy young adults.

Recent reports suggest the body absorbs up to 64% of pool chlorine through the skin, with children absorbing as much as 88%. This exposure can lead to skin irritation, dryness, and potential long-term effects like thyroid issues.

A 2025 study by the University of Bath found that regular indoor exercise helped people keep healthy vitamin D levels during the darker months, even without supplements or weight loss. Staying active supports your bones and immune system year-round.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development, ongoing since 1938, found that strong relationships—not money or fame—are the best predictors of long-term health and happiness. People with close community ties live longer and feel better.

A 2025 double-blind, placebo-controlled study by Laterza et al. in Nutrients found that taking a multistrain probiotic with vitamin D significantly improved gut barrier function and microbiota balance in people with IBS. Benefits even lasted after treatment stopped.

A 2025 analysis by Georgi Dinkov highlights that polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), prevalent in many vegetable oils, can disrupt mitochondrial function in mammals. This disruption may impair energy production and overall cellular health.

A 2025 meta-analysis by Chen et al. in Nutrients found that caffeine improved attack accuracy, agility, jump height, handgrip strength, and positive plays in volleyball players. The boost was seen with moderate doses before matches.

A 2025 review in Nutrients links regular sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption to poorer sperm health—lower count, reduced motility, and increased DNA damage. Oxidative stress, hormonal disruption, and obesity may be to blame.

A 2025 study identified specific metabolite patterns—called poly-metabolite scores—that accurately reflect UPF intake. These biomarkers offer an objective alternative to self-reported diets, aiding large-scale nutrition research and potentially linking UPF consumption to health outcomes.

A 2015 review by Pei et al. found that red and blue-red light therapy significantly improved inflammatory acne, with added anti-inflammatory effects and deeper skin penetration. Results were even better when combined with blue light.

A 2025 double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that creatine monohydrate supplementation reduced post-exercise muscle damage and soreness, especially in women, who experienced less swelling. This suggests creatine can help maintain muscle function and comfort after intense training.
