Adults who delayed bedtime by 90 minutes for six weeks gained about a pound on average in a pooled analysis of randomized trials. Here is what the study did and what it can’t tell us.
A study of nearly 486,000 adults in China linked regular tea to an 11% lower risk of vascular disease. The catch: very hot tea was linked to higher risk.
In a randomized trial of 100 adults, home wall squats cut systolic pressure, and one or two weekly sessions kept some of the benefit. The catch: it was short and small.
A Tufts analysis of 30,000 U.S. adults found coffee calories rose from about 43 to 60 a day, with non-dairy creamer now the largest source of added calories. Here is what that does and does not tell us.
A study of 42 years of U.S. crash data found pedestrian deaths rise on Halloween evening, especially among kids ages 4 to 8. Here is what that means and how families and drivers can lower the risk.
A Cambridge lab study tested 39 sweeteners on 25 gut bacteria species and found most affected at least one. It was done in dishes, not people, so here is what it can and can’t tell you.
In a trial of 58 adults, UV doses too low to turn skin pink still caused measurable DNA damage, and weaker light was no gentler. Here’s what that means for sun protection in fall and winter.
A UCLA study of nearly 1,500 mostly healthy adults found that brains that looked “older” on scans went along with weaker memory scores and, in one group, a different gut chemistry. It’s an early, observational finding.
A survey of nearly 1,700 young married couples links regular exercise with better communication and less conflict. Working out together looked slightly better, but the edge was small.
A review of 84 patients age 21 or younger found most were diagnosed at an advanced stage, and only one in five had a family history. Here are the warning signs doctors say shouldn’t be brushed off.
In a small Japanese study, a 20-minute walk nearly doubled bowel sound activity within a couple of minutes. It’s a tiny study, but it fits long-standing advice on staying regular.
A large imaging study found plaque in the arteries of more than half of apparently healthy adults, including about 1 in 13 people in their 20s. Here’s what it does and doesn’t mean.
The 10,000-step goal may trace back to a 1960s pedometer ad. Large studies suggest about 7,000 steps captures most of the benefit, and even small increases help.
Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 1. Here’s what the extra hour does to your body clock, who feels it most, and how sleep experts suggest you handle the switch.
A study of more than 112,000 French adults linked higher intake of some everyday preservatives to more high blood pressure. Here’s what it found, and what it can’t tell us.
A meta-analysis of 87 clinical trials found that eating more whole grains improved several heart risk factors at once, with the clearest benefits at about four to six servings a day.
