Study Finds High PFAS Associated With Increased Hypertension by 71 Percent in Women

A recent study on middle-aged women found that the high presence of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” was linked with an extra 71 percent risk of hypertension, confirming links between PFAS and hypertension in women. “Several PFAS showed positive associations with incident hypertension,” wrote the authors. “These findings suggest that PFAS…


Create Better Blood Circulation With These 3 Nutrients

Over the course of an average lifetime, the human heart beats an astounding 3 billion times, pumping blood through a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries totaling a stunning 60,000 miles.  We may take these phenomenal inner mechanisms for granted, but we do so at our own risk.  The all-important circulatory system ensures that oxygen-rich…


Recipe: Healthy Apple Pie in a Skillet, Only 219 cal

This version of the Crumble Apple Pie recipe was developed and became popular during World War II. Flour and sugar, among other food supplies were very limited.

Study Finds Stress Accelerates Immune Aging, Increases Risk of Cancer and Infection

A study found that experiencing stress in the form of trauma, chronic stress, acute stress, and discrimination accelerated the aging of the immune system, leading to a weakened immune system that is more prone to infections and at a greater risk of developing cancer and other diseases. The researchers found that stress such as chronic…


Rare Brain Disease Developed After COVID Vaccination Has a Surprisingly High Mortality Rate

Recently, adverse brain and neurological events brought about by vaccination are gradually attracting the attention of scientists. What adverse neurological events are known to be induced by vaccination? In May 2022, several French and Swiss neurologists and virologists published a preprint research report of their study. In this study, they found a rare brain disease…

Study Finds New Way to Regenerate Insulin-Producing Cells to Treat Diabetes

A Swedish study has found a new potential therapeutic target for diabetes. Inhibition of a protein named MNK2 regenerated pancreatic insulin-producing cells in zebrafish larvae, laboratory pigs, and human cell cultures. “Our findings indicate a new potential target for treating diabetes, in that we demonstrate a possible way of stimulating the formation of new insulin-producing…
