People who eat a lot of junk food are more likely to die young, warns new research. The more ultra-processed products - such as burgers, sausages and chips - you eat, the more likely you are to die prematurely from a preventable death, say scientists. The new study analyzed nationally representative dietary surveys and mortality data from eight countries - including the UK and United States. It shows that premature deaths attributable to consumption of ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, [...]

  THURSDAY, April 10, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Heavy drinkers have an increased risk of developing brain lesions associated with memory and thinking problems, a new study says. Folks who imbibe eight or more alcoholic drinks a week have an increased risk of hyaline arteriolosclerosis, or a thickening and narrowing of the small arteries that feed the brain, researchers reported April 9 in the journal This condition makes it harder for blood to flow, which can damage the brain over [...]

Drinking eight glasses of wine or pints of beer a week more than doubles the risk of brain damage compared to teetotallers, suggests new research. Boozers who down eight or more alcoholic drinks every week have an increased risk of brain lesions associated with memory and thinking problems, say scientists. They explained that the condition, caused hyaline arteriolosclerosis, causes the small blood vessels to narrow, becoming thick and stiff - making it harder for blood to flow, which can [...]

Weight training helps protect older people from dementia, according to new research. Volunteers with mild cognitive impairment who practiced strength training showed improvements in memory and brain anatomy after six months, say scientists. Weight training has been previously shown to improve strength and muscle mass, reduce body fat, and contribute to well-being and mental health. Now, a new study conducted at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil suggests it protects [...]

Key Takeaways The combination of chronic arthritic joint pain and depression could speed declines in cognition and memory in older people The brain might be overwhelmed by dealing with these two threats, researchers say The findings are a wake-up call to doctors to take both conditions more seriously in older patients THURSDAY, Nov. 21, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Having achy, painful joints isn't just a physical woe: Coupled with depression, it could also degrade an older [...]

Key Takeaways Microplastics have been found in numerous human organs, and a new autopsy study finds the brain might now be included on that list 8 of 15 autopsies showed evidence of microplastics in the brain's olfactory bulb The particles might be breathed in, since they are ubiquitous components of air, especially indoors Researchers in Germany and Brazil say that 8 out of 15 autopsied adults had microplastics detected within their brain's smell [...]

THURSDAY, May 16, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) face more than triple the odds of bruxism, otherwise known as teeth grinding, a new study finds. The small study of 76 Brazilian adults (38 diagnosed with PTSD and 38 without the condition) found much higher incidence of daytime teeth grinding. “Our study showed that PTSD can be manifested orally, in bruxism and a higher level of pain after a clinical dental examination. This requires joint [...]

Some plant species will be “winners” while others will be “losers” as global warming forces them to move uphill, suggests a new study. Researchers examined the current range of more than 7,000 plant species in Brazil's Cerrado savanna. They found that the fate of plant species will depend on where they live: lowland species can move uphill for cooler conditions, but mountain plants have nowhere to go. Dr. Mateus Silva, of the University of Exeter said: [...]
