Regular Bedtime Can Improve Blood Pressure.

Oregon Health & Science University researchers report that middle-aged adults with hypertension who shifted from irregular bedtimes to a consistent bedtime for just two weeks experienced similar drops in blood pressure—about 4 mmHg systolic and 3 mmHg diastolic—as would be expected by increased exercise or reduced sodium intake.

Gestational Diabetes Rate Up 36% from 2016.

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and can have long-term effects on a woman’s cardiovascular and metabolic health. From 2016 to 2024, its incidence increased each year, rising from 58 to 79 cases per 1,000 births. Researchers suggest this upward trend may reflect worsening cardiometabolic health among young adults, including poorer dietary patterns, lower physical activity levels, and rising obesity rates.

How to Fight Middle-Age Spread.

Middle age is often accompanied by gradual weight gain resulting from slowing metabolism, loss of muscle mass, and increased fat accumulation around internal organs that can raise the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions. To combat middle-aged spread, engage in a healthy lifestyle characterized by regular aerobic exercise, strength training, reduced sedentary time, a healthy diet, stress management, hydration, and sufficient sleep.

Effective Treatment for Chronic Low Back Pain.

A recent study found that myofascial release combined with stabilization exercises is an effective combination to improve pain, balance, muscle function, flexibility, muscle tone, disability, and autonomic regulation in chronic low back pain patients. Doctors of chiropractic often use these and other conservative treatments in the management of chronic low back pain.

Early Life Farm Exposure May Reduce Allergy Risk.

A study of infants from Old Order Mennonite farming families found that children raised in agricultural environments had higher levels of IgG and IgA antibodies, more advanced B-cell development, and a lower risk of food allergies than peers raised in urban settings. The findings suggest that greater microbial exposure early in life may positively influence immune development and reduce allergy risk.

Alcohol Linked to Increased Cancer Risk.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 62 studies found that alcohol consumption can damage DNA, disrupt hormonal balance, increase oxidative stress, and suppress immune function over time—mechanisms that elevate the risk of breast, colorectal, liver, oral, esophageal, and gastric cancers. While higher drinking frequency and quantity are linked to greater risk, the researchers also note that even moderate alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Smartphone Addiction Linked to Chronic Spinal Pain in Young Adults.

Smartphone addiction is a behavioral dependence characterized by excessive, compulsive smartphone use that interferes with daily functioning, relationships, sleep, and mental well-being despite negative consequences. Questionnaires completed by 465 university students revealed that 31% met the criteria for smartphone addiction, which is associated with a two-fold elevated risk of chronic neck, mid-back, or low back pain.

Learning Music Boosts Brain Function in Seniors.

Researchers from University of Sheffield and Western Sydney University report that older adults who learned to play music using either a physical instrument or digital app experienced gains in cognitive and motor function, even if they had no prior musical training. Further, those who used their newly gained skills during improvisation sessions demonstrated even greater improvements in learning, memory, and executive function.

Sobering Stats on Hip Fractures.

Among 1,233 older adults followed for 20 years, 236 sustained a hip fracture, and 27% died within a year of their injury. The findings underscore the urgent need for strategies that both prevent falls and improve long-term outcomes after serious fractures.

1 in 8 Teens Show Signs of Hearing Loss.

Examinations of more than 3,300 Dutch teenagers revealed 13% exhibited signs of noise-related hearing damage, with roughly 6% experiencing permanent hearing loss by age 18. The research team attributes these issues to frequent exposure to loud recreational noise—from earbuds, concerts, and fireworks—as a key risk, emphasizing the need for early screening, prevention, and safer listening habits during adolescence.
