Blueberries are high in fiber and antioxidants that can help support your gut, brain, and heart health when you eat them as part of a balanced diet.

Increasing focus has been placed on fiber, protein and antioxidants. But dietitians speaking to the Daily Mail believe one cheap pantry staple has the most health promise of them all.

Diets made up mostly of ultra-processed foods were found in a new study to increase a person’s risk of heart attack, stroke and fatal heart disease.

Measles cases and exposure locations are continuing to be identified in Utah as the disease spreads throughout the state.

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday withdrew a proposed rule that would have barred all Americans under age 18 from using tanning beds.

The thymus is essential for establishing T cell diversity early in life, but undergoes profound involution with age and has therefore traditionally been regarded as largely nonfunctional in adults1,2. Here we propose that preserving thymic functionality is integral to adult health and longevity. We developed a deep learning framework to quantify thymic health from routine radiographic images and evaluated its association with longevity and risk of major age-associated diseases in two large prospective cohorts of asymptomatic adults: the National Lung Screening Trial (n = 25,031) and the Framingham Heart Study (n = 2,581). In both cohorts, thymic health varied markedly across the population. In the National Lung Screening Trial, higher thymic health was consistently associated with lower all-cause mortality, reduced lung cancer incidence and lower cardiovascular mortality over 12 years of follow-up after adjustment for age, sex, smoking and comorbidities. In the independent Framingham Heart Study cohort, higher thymic health was significantly associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality, independent of age, sex and smoking. Thymic health was further linked to systemic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation, and associated with modifiable lifestyle factors including smoking, obesity and physical activity. Together, these findings reposition the thymus as a central regulator of immune-mediated ageing and disease susceptibility in adulthood, highlighting its potential as a target for preventive and regenerative strategies to promote healthy ageing and longevity. Assessing thymic function and health has highlighted the lifelong importance of the thymus as an organ that could be targeted to improve health outcomes, protect against disease and promote healthy ageing.

If your supplement stacking leaves you groggy and low on energy, you might want to try tweaking your regimen. Here are two supplements to try.

About a month ago, Mustafa’s family says he developed a severe MRSA bacterial infection that put him in the ICU. The Mayo Clinic says a MRSA infection is caused by a type of staph bacteria that’s become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat it.

Caroline Shaw is just one of many patients who are having “awake” surgery instead of going under general anesthesia or IV sedation. With the help of oral sedatives and numbing, while under local anesthesia, patients alternate between dozing off and waking up rather than being fully out or fully awake.
