Exercise: Lifelong Exercise Lowers Metabolic Syndrome Risk.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions—including central obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and elevated blood sugar—that occur together and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Analysis of data from 159 participants in a long-term cohort study revealed that lifelong exercisers were four times less likely to have metabolic syndrome at age 61 than their sedentary peers. Importantly, inactive adults who became physically active during midlife—particularly those who incorporated resistance training—were able to cut their risk of future metabolic syndrome roughly in half.

Health Alert: Radiation from Medical Imaging Scans Linked to Childhood Blood Cancers.
Following an analysis of health records from 3.7 million children, researchers report that cumulative exposure to radiation from advanced medical imaging—particularly CT scans—was associated with a significantly increased risk of cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. For example, children who underwent one or two CT scans had about an 80% higher risk of blood cancer, while those who received three or more scans faced nearly a threefold increase in risk. Although CT scans are sometimes medically necessary, the authors emphasize that physicians should use them judiciously and prioritize non-radiation alternatives such as ultrasound or MRI whenever possible.
