When to eat to build muscle

In a detailed study, researchers identify which diets are effective in lowering the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

A recent study suggested that a diet created to assist prevent cognitive decline in adults may also help increase attention in preadolescents. Future nutritional programmes aiming at enhancing children's cognition may benefit from the findings.

A recent study that looked at information on more than 20,000 American adults found that eating better and exercising more leads to weight loss that lowers the risk of heart disease, but that skipping meals and taking diet pills leads to only little weight loss, weight stabilization, or weight gain.

A group of researchers discovered that regular physical exercise may protect against cognitive deterioration as one ages, but this protective effect may be diminished in persons who do not get enough sleep.

Researchers from Hamilton Health Sciences and McMaster University revealed in a study conducted at the Population Research Health Institute (PHRI) that persons who do not consume enough of six important nutrients collectively had a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
