Combining hormonal therapy and tirzepatide may lead to the greatest weight loss after menopause, new evidence suggests.

AI may spot fall risk years early using abdominal CT scans. Researchers found core muscle quality, especially muscle density, predicted later falls even in midlife. Start a simple core routine now, 10 minutes, 3 times per week. https://bit.ly/3MhChg7

A new study suggests that applying a deep learning algorithm to routine abdominal CT scans could help identify fall risk years in advance, by measuring core muscle density.

"House burping" can improve indoor air fast. Open windows wide for a few minutes, then close them. Cross-ventilation works best. If you live near a busy road, avoid opening windows facing traffic during rush hour. https://bit.ly/3MxSzl2

'House burping' is the latest thing cluttering people's feeds: short clips of people flinging open every window and door, announcing they're 'burping' their home to get rid of stale, germ-filled air.

Transplant waitlists hinge on blood type matching. Researchers used enzymes to strip "type A" markers from a donor kidney, creating a more universal, type O-like organ. Early results are promising, but this is not ready for human use yet. https://bit.ly/3MD2oOD

After a decade of work, researchers are closer than ever to a key breakthrough in kidney transplants: being able to transfer kidneys from donors with different blood types than the recipients, which could significantly speed up waiting times and save lives.

Night owl or early bird can shape your results. A review suggests night owls face more obstacles like later eating, poorer sleep, and higher obesity risk. Try two fixes this week: shift your biggest meal earlier, keep a consistent sleep and wake time. https://bit.ly/403pYax

Having different chronotypes, or being more active in the morning vs. afternoon, may play an important role in preserving muscle mass and strength, and metabolic health, according to a new study.

Intermittent fasting works for some people, but timing alone may not be the key. A small study found that time-restricted eating without cutting calories did not improve common metabolic or heart markers over two weeks. If you try fasting, prioritize food quality and overall energy balance. https://bit.ly/4bj7nOq

You do not need intense workouts to protect your future mobility. Strength training builds "muscle reserves" that help you recover better after setbacks like illness, surgery, or a fall. Two short sessions per week can make a real difference over time. https://bit.ly/49KGim3

Microplastics show up in places you might not expect. One expert breakdown highlights sources like chewing gum, salt from plastic grinders, and even hot drinks made in plastic-lined takeaway cups. Simple swaps can help, like using metal or ceramic grinders and choosing reusable cups. https://bit.ly/3NIN0jY

Focus apps can help, but they are not magic. Research suggests constant interruptions drive distractibility, and apps may help you resist checking your phone. Use them with a clear task, set a timer, then review after a week to see if it actually helped. https://bit.ly/4qLld0K
