Statins (HMG CoA-reductase inhibitors) are universally acknowledged as first-line treatment for medical prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Common cholesterol-lowering medicines known as statins may slightly increase the risk of developing diabetes, particularly at higher doses, according to a review of medical evidence by researchers Robert Beckett, Sarah Schepers and Sarah Gordon. However, the researchers concluded […]
B vitamins are a group of water-soluble organic compounds that are essential for numerous physiological processes in almost all living organisms. These micronutrients perform diverse biological functions, primarily serving as cofactors in a wide range of enzymatic reactions. One or more B vitamins are involved in virtually every cellular energy producing pathway, including the mitochondrial […]
consumed vegetable throughout Asia and Africa. For centuries, it has been used in traditional medicine to manage diabetes mellitus, while its fruit has served as an important dietary staple. Clinical studies investigating bitter melon juice, fresh fruit, and dried fruit powder have reported moderate hypoglycaemic effects, although the overall quality and consistency of the available […]
Recent research by O’Brien et al., published in Sports (Basel) 2023, has explored the potential of coconut water as a substitute for traditional sports drinks for hydration and performance during endurance cycling. Many commercial beverages are specifically designed for athletes and typically emphasise added sodium. However, the effects of losing other important electrolytes, such as potassium, […]

Aside from the clear cardiovascular benefits associated with jogging, cycling, or swimming, all types of cardio exercise, if performed at a greater intensity, are very effective for burning calories while you are exercising itself. Studies suggest that if you can maintain at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardio, within a […]
Skin aging is a multifaceted biological process driven by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic aging, a natural chronological process, is influenced by genetic characteristics and leads to changes in the physiological state of the skin, impairing wound healing and delaying recovery. On the other hand, extrinsic aging is caused by environmental factors such as […]
Vitamins A, D, and E, as well as beta-carotene, may play a protective role in cognitive health due to their antioxidant properties. A research study by Debora Melo van Lent in 2022 analysed data from 1,334 non-demented participants (mean age 84 years) in Germany. Over a seven-year follow-up period, 250 participants developed all-cause dementia, and […]
More and more tiny plastic pieces, known as microplastics and nanoplastics, are being found in the environment and our food. While some manufacturers are trying to reduce single-use plastics, others are creating new plastic packaging to replace paper products, such as plastic teabags. A study by Hernandez et al. in 2019 aimed to determine whether […]
Tinnitus, a common symptom of age-related hearing loss, often disrupts sleep and social interactions. A study conducted by Abbasi et al. in 2025 aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in treating tinnitus associated with presbycusis. In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 50 patients with presbycusis-related (age-related) tinnitus were randomly assigned to two […]
