Stanford nutrition scientist Christopher Gardner recommends the 80/20 rule, more fruits, vegetables and legumes, and fewer strict diet rules, while reminding people that an unhealthy choice today does not erase the chance to improve tomorrow.
Blueberries may support vascular function and certain cognitive measures, particularly among older adults, but experts caution that research has not proved the fruit can prevent heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer's disease or cognitive decline.
An unofficial naming appeal for NASA’s proposed Uranus mission unleashed a flood of predictable jokes, from Proby McProbeface to elaborate acronyms, although mythology inspired alternatives such as Odin and Boreas offered the probe a chance at dignity.
Scammers are turning photographs of missing pets into convincing AI generated images, then demanding money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency from distressed owners. Police urge victims to verify claims carefully before paying or arranging a meeting.
Experiments with common and Mayan octopuses revealed distinct three step and four step strategies for moving through openings, offering biologists a richer view of body coordination and soft robotics engineers fresh inspiration for search and rescue machines.
A University of Virginia team found a small statistical link between unexpected death and shorter intervals before claimed rebirth, but information transfer, memory contamination, selection bias, and weak evidence leave reincarnation far from established.
Researchers detected a growing cyan signature around the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in satellite records. Simulations suggest microplastics could contribute to the shift, but direct water measurements are still needed to confirm the connection.
A chance shift in lighting exposed 280 prehistoric engravings inside a popular Catalonian cave, revealing 55 animal figures and the third largest known collection of Ice Age cave art in Mediterranean Iberia.
Researchers recovered more than 1,400 cannabis seeds and detected THC and cannabinol in preserved human hair, providing direct molecular evidence of psychoactive cannabis use at an elite tomb in southern Siberia dating back 2,800 years.
The 4.1 billion year old Teghaza 001 meteorite contains evidence of water altered Martian crust, unusual minerals and zircon crystals that let researchers examine a previously unsampled region from the earliest stages of Mars’s history.
Wisconsin has recorded 431 measles cases in 13 counties this year as vaccination coverage among kindergarteners sits near 85%. The infant’s death is the state’s first measles related fatality in more than 35 years.
A study of nearly 450,000 American adults linked occasional and frequent cannabis use with increased cardiovascular risks, particularly stroke, while researchers cautioned that the preliminary observational findings cannot establish that marijuana caused those conditions.
A large observational study linked GLP-1 medications to lower risks of diabetes, death and major cardiovascular problems among adults with prediabetes and obesity, though researchers caution that the preliminary findings cannot prove the drugs caused those outcomes.
Mice given olive oil before glucose had a smaller early rise in blood sugar, but researchers and nutrition experts caution that human studies are needed and balanced meals remain more important than treating olive oil as a quick fix.
Experts say balance can improve through a few minutes of consistent daily practice. Simple movements using body weight offer a safe starting point, while equipment such as pads, balls and sliders can add difficulty after a stable foundation develops.
After more than two decades observing powerful cosmic events, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has fallen to Earth. Its archive, built from thousands of gamma-ray bursts, supernovae and other targets, is expected to fuel discoveries for decades.
A glass case inside an ordinary looking Austrian church holds the completely mummified remains of a parish vicar believed to have died in the mid to late 1700s, revealing a startling example of deliberate anthropogenic mummification.
