Chronic knee pain may be treated online

A new study suggests that eating more fat rather than less could help the body gain greater benefits from exercise when blood sugar levels are high, offering an unexpected perspective on how diet and physical activity work together to support metabolic health.

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain's protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein, causing the blood-brain barrier to become leaky with age.

A long-running Swedish study has followed adults for nearly five decades, uncovering when physical decline truly begins. Fitness and strength start slipping around age 35, then worsen gradually with age.

A new study led by researchers at University College London (UCL) shows that chronic exposure to toxic air can significantly diminish the health benefits of regular physical activity.

Exercise appears to spark a whole-body anti-ageing cascade, and scientists have now mapped out how it happens--and how a simple oral compound can mimic it.

Cambridge scientists have created a breakthrough material that can sense tiny chemical changes in the body, such as the increased acidity during an arthritis flare-up, and release drugs exactly when and where they're needed.

A George Mason University study found that daily mango eaters showed better blood sugar control and less body fat than those eating a lower-sugar snack.

A comprehensive clinical trial sponsored by University College London (UCL), the University of East Anglia, and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust found that sinus surgery is more effective than antibiotics at treating chronic rhinosinusitis.

A Mediterranean-style diet, in combination with reduced caloric intake, moderate physical activity, and professional support for weight loss, may cut the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by 31%, according to a new study co-authored by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Researchers discovered that early puberty or childbirth doubles women's risk for major diseases and accelerates ageing, while later timing offers protective benefits.
