New research reveals that total deforestation in the Amazon may lead to increased extreme weather events rather than reduced rainfall, challenging previous assumptions.

Post-workout meals should focus on carbohydrates, protein, and fluids for optimal recovery and performance, according to recent research.

Research highlights the significant impact of diet on longevity, suggesting healthier eating can extend life expectancy by several years.

Tech millionaire Bryan Johnson dedicates over six hours daily to reverse aging through various experimental methods and routines.

Researchers have created a quantum debit card that utilizes unforgeable quantum money, leveraging the no-cloning theorem for enhanced security.

Starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) soon after menopause may reduce Alzheimer's risk, while later initiation could increase it, according to recent research.

Research shows wild chimpanzees consume alcohol equivalent to two glasses of wine daily, suggesting evolutionary ties to human alcohol consumption.

Elaine Neuwirth emphasizes the significance of social connections and purpose for healthy aging, supported by research linking relationships to longevity.

Recent research has uncovered that human remains in Southeast Asia, dating back up to 14,000 years, were preserved through smoking. This practice, still observed among the Dani people in Indonesia, indicates a widespread cultural tradition across the region. Analysis of skeletal samples showed evidence of low-temperature smoking, challenging previous assumptions about the origins of mummification. The findings suggest that Southeast Asia was an independent center of cultural innovation in ancient mortuary practices, linking early hunter-gatherers to modern Indigenous groups.

A recent study indicates that a higher weekly dose of Wegovy, a weight-loss drug, results in greater weight loss compared to the standard dose, albeit with increased side effects. Participants receiving the higher dose lost an average of 19% of their body weight, while those on the standard dose lost 16%. The study also noted significant reductions in prediabetes cases among participants. However, higher doses led to more gastrointestinal issues and skin sensations, suggesting that while benefits may outweigh risks for some, further trials are needed.

Perimenopause is a significant transitional phase affecting many women, characterized by various symptoms such as mood swings and fatigue. Despite its impact, awareness and treatment options like hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remain limited. Recent studies highlight the importance of tailored approaches, including dietary changes and cognitive behavioral therapy, to manage symptoms effectively. The societal implications of perimenopause, including its economic costs, underscore the need for better understanding and support for affected individuals.

As global efforts to reduce air pollution improve public health, they inadvertently accelerate climate change by removing cooling aerosols. This phenomenon, termed 'termination shocks,' reveals the complex interplay between air quality and climate stability, leading to extreme weather patterns and ecological risks. Researchers warn that while cleaner air is beneficial, it may also heighten global warming effects, necessitating careful consideration of future geoengineering strategies.
