Earbuds can do more than raise volume exposure. In-ear devices may trap heat and moisture, disrupt the ear's natural balance, and increase infection risk, especially if shared or not cleaned regularly. https://bit.ly/3PDPLE8

Whether it's enjoying a podcast, listening to music, or chatting on the phone, many of us spend hours a day using our headphones.

Blood pressure risk often rises around menopause. New research suggests falling estrogen may play a role by affecting blood vessel function and salt sensitivity, which may help explain why hypertension becomes more common during this stage. https://bit.ly/4bGAURR

Estrogen may help protect against hypertension in premenopause, a new study suggests, raising further questions about the role that hormone therapy may play in cardiovascular health later in life.

GLP-1 medications may help the heart in more ways than one. A new mouse study suggests they could lower the risk of serious complications during heart attack recovery. Promising, but still early and not yet a human treatment finding. https://bit.ly/4bEWq9I

GLP-1 drugs may help boost heart attack recovery by lowering the risk of major complications, an animal study suggests.

Variety may matter as much as volume when it comes to exercise. A large study suggests regularly mixing activities like walking, running, cycling, or swimming may be one of the best ways to support a longer life. https://bit.ly/3PCSj5r

Regularly engaging in a variety of physical activities such as walking, cycling, and swimming, may be the best way to prolong life span, according to a study published in BMJ Medicine.

Routine mammograms may do more than screen for breast cancer. New research suggests AI may be able to use them to spot a heart disease marker, helping identify women at higher cardiovascular risk without extra testing. https://bit.ly/4m0NTBv

A recent study indicates that an AI tool can analyze routine mammogram scans for breast cancer screening and predict heart disease risk in women.

NAD supplements get a lot of hype, but the science is still catching up. Precursors like NR and NMN may raise NAD+ levels, yet there is still no definitive clinical evidence that they slow aging or extend lifespan in humans. https://bit.ly/4v7L5qr

Can NAD supplementation help slow down aging and boost longevity? A longevity expert explains what we should know.

Sleep and mental health work both ways. If you have chronic insomnia, "just sleep more" often fails. Evidence-based CBT-I targets the patterns that keep insomnia going. If sleep issues last 3+ months, ask for a CBT-I referral. https://bit.ly/4rIEWPr

This podcast episode explores the two-way relationship between sleep and mental health, the science of sleep cycles, sleep supplements, and the role of cognitive behavioral therapy in treating insomnia.

A 47-year study suggests physical performance starts declining as early as age 35. You can still slow the slide. People who got more active in adulthood improved physical capacity by about 10%. Start with strength training twice per week. https://bit.ly/4rw5MKu

Physical abilities fade as we age, but many of us like to think that won't be an issue until we're well into our golden years.

Two days of oatmeal made a measurable dent in "bad" cholesterol in a small study, and the effect lasted weeks. It was strict and low-calorie, so do the practical version: swap one meal per day for oats, then add berries, chia, or nuts for fiber. https://bit.ly/4rr6NDB

Participants who primarily ate oatmeal for two days experienced a long-lasting reduction in LDL (“bad”) and total cholesterol levels, the results of a clinical trial show.

Men tend to develop heart disease earlier than women. Data from a 30+ year study found the gap starts around age 35. Best move for both sexes: treat blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar as "must track" numbers in your 30s and 40s. https://bit.ly/4rYspXJ

New research indicates that men develop cardiovascular disease seven years earlier than women, suggesting that men may require “more intensive screening and detection” as they age.
