The Mediterranean diet, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables, and fish, has gained popularity due to its links to good health.
Past studies show that following the Mediterranean diet may help improve our brain health by slowing brain aging and protecting against brain-related diseases like dementia.
A new study has found that an offshoot of the Mediterranean diet — called the green Mediterranean diet — may also help slow brain aging.

In a new study, researchers examined whether cocoa extract supplements have an impact on age-related inflammation, which is linked to heart disease and other chronic illnesses.
The researchers found that 500 mg of daily cocoa extract supplements slowed increases in a key marker of inflammation.
These benefits were strongest in individuals with higher baseline or existing inflammation at the start.

Past studies show that human aging doesn’t necessarily happen at the same pace throughout our life.
There is still much to discover about the aging process, especially when it comes to how it impacts the body’s organs.
A new study found that by focusing on aging-related protein changes in the body, there is an acceleration in aging of organs and tissues around the age of 50.
And of these proteins, scientists found that expressions of 48 of them linked to diseases increased with age, such as cardiovascular and liver disease.

Research has shown that physical exercise can help increase insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar more effectively in people with diabetes.
A new study found that people with diabetes who meet current physical activity recommendations through either regular physical activity or a “weekend warrior” type of format have a reduced risk for both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular-related mortality, compared to people who do not exercise.
Scientists also found that study participants who were insufficiently active still had a lower risk for all-cause and heart disease-related mortality than those who were completely inactive.

As the population ages, disorders affecting the nervous system, including cognitive decline and dementia, are the leading cause of overall disease burden worldwide.
Diet and lifestyle can affect a person’s risk of developing cognitive decline as they age.
Vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins B and C, calcium, magnesium, and zinc, are essential in maintaining cognitive function.
A new study suggests that dietary copper intake may also be important, with too little or too much negatively affecting cognitive function.

There is currently no cure for Parkinson’s disease, nor are there specific tests for early diagnosis.
A new study has identified a way to detect the condition before symptoms appear through the use of skin swabs via sebum and smell.
The swabs could offer a noninvasive way to help diagnose Parkinson’s disease in people who have not yet developed symptoms.

Chronic constipation happens when a person has difficulty passing stool for at least three months or more.
While people can have chronic constipation at any age, it is more common as people get older.
A new study has found that following the Mediterranean diet or a plant-based diet may help lower the risk of chronic constipation in middle-aged and older adults.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services has said it will officially remove the preservative thimerosal from all flu vaccines distributed in the country.
Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative that — due to questions about its safety throughout the decades — has mostly been avoided by vaccine producers.
However, it still features in some flu shots in the U.S., which has prompted questions about how a ban on thimerosal may affect vaccine availability and accessibility.

Researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer recently examined the link between excess weight and breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.
The scientists focused specifically on women who developed cardiovascular disease to see how developing this affected breast cancer.
The findings showed an especially increased risk of breast cancer for every 5 kilograms per square meter increase in body mass index (BMI) in women who developed cardiovascular disease.

Parkinson’s disease dementia develops in people who have a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis.
Experts are interested in finding the best ways to address and prevent Parkinson’s disease dementia.
A randomized clinical trial found that the drug Ambroxol may help stabilize the neuropsychiatric symptoms of Parkinson’s disease dementia, and confirmed the safety of the drug’s use among participants.

Intrinsic capacity is the sum of a person’s mental and physical capacities, and is a measure of aging. Maintaining physical and mental function is a cornerstone of healthy aging. Formerly, assessing intrinsic capacity has been a costly and time-consuming process. Now, researchers have developed a ...
