Who needs to work out FOR Halloween when you can work out ON Halloween? If you’re ready to channel your inner Jane Fonda and relive your neon-clad, leg-warmer-wearing, Jazzercise glory days, then get excited: we have a bevvy of inspiration. The ’80s workout getup is basically the best, most nostalgic, easiest costume to pull off
A recent study showed significant health benefits of eating fish in early childhood. Allergy-related conditions such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and food allergies, have considerably increased since the 1950s. Some data suggested that dietary habits, particularly low fish and cod liver oil consumption, could be a related factor. Recently researchers studied whether
It is well-known that exercise is good for cardiac health, but older adults tend to fall through the cracks when it comes to rehabilitation programs. Now, a study has shown that these individuals have the most to gain. New research examines the effects of exercise on older adults in physical rehabilitation. Heart disease is the
If you’re in need of a burst of energy, The Fitness Marshall just dropped a dance cardio workout to “This Is Real” by Jax Jones, and it’s an instant mood-booster. It’s an upbeat workout, and what makes it more fun is that Jax Jones is also doing the workout with The Fitness Marshall. If you’re
Researchers investigated whether high lead levels or maternal folate status during pregnancy increased the risk of overweight or obesity in children. Obesity is still a growing concern in the United States. Previous studies have shown that toxic chemical exposure during pregnancy can affect fetal development, which includes metabolic development. This is concerning because any negative
ERproductions Ltd | Getty Images Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is proposing to wipe out an estimated $81 billion in past-due medical debt. Up to 80 million Americans could be impacted. “People definitely need to have their debt either forgiven or negotiated lower, so they can afford it without a hardship,” said Craig Antico, the
A recent study investigated the effects of vaping on lung cells. The debate surrounding the negative health effects of e-cigarettes is becoming ever more polarised. Scientists at the new University North Caroline School of Medicine, led by Rob Tarran, have recently carried out a study examining the effects of ‘’vaping’’ on the cellular responses within
New research finds that people who tend to walk more slowly at the age of 45 present with signs of premature accelerated aging, both physically and cognitively. New research suggests that a slower walking speed in midlife may be a marker of accelerated aging. Walking speed may be a powerful predictor of lifespan and health.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the body. Their job is to transmit signals from nerve cells to target cells. These target cells may be in muscles, glands, or other nerves. The brain needs neurotransmitters to regulate many necessary functions, including: heart rate breathing sleep cycles digestion mood concentration appetite muscle movement The nervous system controls
Getty Images The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new drug to treat migraines that’s proven to resolve their pain and other symptoms within two hours, the agency said Friday. The drug, Reyvow, was developed by Eli Lilly and Co. and was proven to be “significantly” more effective than a placebo in halting the
After speaking out against harmful diet products for years, Jameela Jamil has successfully advocated for more regulation and is now closer towards her goal of eradication. A bit of backstory: the Good Place actress recently played a big role in getting Instagram to enforce restrictions preventing minors from seeing sponsored content about cosmetic surgery procedures,
Acetylcholine is a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, that plays an important role in brain and muscle function. Imbalances in acetylcholine are linked with chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter discovered. Imbalances in levels of acetylcholine play a role in some neurological conditions. People who have Alzheimer’s disease
Researchers from New Zealand reviewed data from pregnant women to determine if it is safe for pregnant women to sleep on their backs. It has been known for a long time that babies need to be put down to sleep in a certain position (on their backs), but there has never been much information for
One hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease is the massing of tangles of tau protein in the brain. Now, a new study in mice proposes that a type of brain immune cell called microglia drives the tissue damage that is linked to tau clumping. Could deactivating microglia be the key to treating Alzheimer’s disease? Brain scans of
Recent studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes who lose weight lower their risk of cardiovascular problems. But what happens if, after a time, they regain the weight they had lost? New research warns that maintaining weight loss is crucial when it comes to reducing diabetes-associated cardiovascular risk. Overweight and obesity are two
A team led by scientists from Cambridge University has developed less intensive strategies for controlling type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes affects 400 million people globally. It carries the risk of heart disease, stroke, blindness, and amputations. Several measures previously described to control diabetes involved intensive lifestyle modifications and an extreme reduction in dietary calories.
A new study has introduced a promising blood test that health professionals may soon use to accurately detect brain cancer. A simple blood test could make a great difference for those with brain cancer. Dr. Matthew J. Baker, a reader in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow,

Going low-carb (or even keto!) doesn’t have to mean cutting out bread completely. And if that news weren’t reason enough to celebrate, consider this: there are tons of companies that cater to low-carb sandwich-lovers by creating breads made from whole grains or virtuous ingredients like almond flour. If you like to get in the kitchen
Researchers develop a new way to track where amyloid plaques start in the brain, and where they spread in Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disorder that is characterized by impaired memory, cognition, language, and eventually results in dementia. The disease is caused by the accumulation of misfolded proteins that form insoluble aggregates. The two
A novel test that looks for a molecular fingerprint in needle biopsies could help improve the diagnosis of thyroid cancer and reduce unnecessary surgeries, according to new research. A new thyroid cancer test could prevent unnecessary invasive procedures. A recent PNAS paper describes the new test and how it performed in a pilot study. The
In the first study of its type, researchers conclude that even a brief shift in dietary habits can alleviate the symptoms of depression in young adults. The findings offer hope, but more work is needed. Is there a link between healthful food and good mental health? Science has now clearly established the impact of poor
A new study investigated the association between pre-diagnostic colonoscopy and colorectal cancer deaths, to demonstrate the effectiveness of colon cancer screening. The development of colorectal cancer is a process that involves multiple steps that take place over a long period of time. This long development process allows screening and detection of early-stage, pre-cancerous polyps before
Coronary artery disease is caused by the narrowing or blockage of arteries that supply the heart with blood. Despite recent advances in the treatment and care of patients with coronary artery disease, it remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. The condition is often associated with adverse health events including

It is not unusual for people to use alcohol to alleviate anxiety. However, over time or in excess amounts, drinking alcohol can lead to increased levels of anxiety and stress. For anyone prone to anxiety, it can be easy for one drink to turn into more and lead to a growing dependence on alcohol. According
Where I run, there are a decent amount of people up early, waiting at bus stops, walking to the train, filling up at the gas station, walking dogs. People, but rarely any runners. When I chug down Delaware Street, barely awake in my reflective leggings, my geeky headlamp, my Fitbit and Apple Watch, and my
