Grandparenting Linked to Better Brain Health.

According to recent research, older adults who help care for their grandchildren—even on a limited basis—tend to score higher on memory and language tests than peers who are not involved in their grandchildren’s lives. The findings suggest that staying socially and mentally engaged through grandparenting may help support brain health as we age.

Five Healthy Habits to Build in Young Adulthood.

To set the stage for better health later in life, experts from Stanford Medicine recommend adopting these five habits in your 20s and 30s: regular strength training to build peak bone and muscle mass; consistent cardiovascular activity with less sitting throughout the day; a diet centered on whole, minimally processed foods, such as those found in the Mediterranean pattern; adequate, high-quality sleep—generally more than seven hours per night; and proactive stress management through techniques like exercise, meditation, or breathing practices.

Reversing Prediabetes Dramatically Lowers Heart Death Risk.

Previous research has shown that elevated blood glucose levels can damage blood vessels over time, increasing the risk of heart disease even before diabetes is formally diagnosed. A recent study found that individuals with prediabetes who normalized their blood sugar levels reduced their long-term risk of heart-related death or heart failure hospitalization by up to 58%.

Active Kids and Teens Are Less Likely to Have Backaches.

Using data from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children study, researchers report that youths who engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity at least once a week have about an 11% lower likelihood of frequent backache compared with their inactive peers, and those who are physically active at least five times per week have about a 19% lower risk of frequent backache.

Chronic Respiratory Diseases Affect 1 in 15 People Worldwide.

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, researchers estimate that approximately 569.2 million people worldwide are living with one or more chronic respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, pneumoconiosis, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary sarcoidosis. While genetic factors can influence susceptibility, experts note that long-term exposure to cigarette smoke, combustion-related air pollution, occupational dust and chemicals, allergens, mineral dust, and infections are primary drivers of poor lung health and disease exacerbations. Addressing these exposures could substantially improve respiratory health worldwide.

Hands-On Treatment May Benefit Bruxism Patients.

Bruxism is a condition characterized by involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, typically occurring during sleep or periods of stress, and is often associated with jaw muscle pain, tooth wear, and temporomandibular joint symptoms. In a recent study, researchers found that applying myofascial release—a hands-on technique in which a doctor of chiropractic uses manual pressure (with the hands, elbow, or a tool) to reduce muscle tension and improve tissue mobility—to the masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles led to significant improvements in jaw and neck pain, as well as maximal mouth opening, in individuals with bruxism. These findings support the use of myofascial release as part of a multimodal approach to managing bruxism.

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.
