But while many turn to a popular supplement to ease joint pain, new research suggests they could actually … Read more
The latest smartphone feature? Making it harder to have kids. Data from the CDC shows that the birth rate has been declining steadily since 2007. In 2025, about 53 babies were born for every 1,000 women aged 15–44 — an all-time low. Now a new study is putting much of the blame on the rise … Read more
Late-night fast food and 24-hour dining — once staples of American convenience — have shrunk dramatically in recent years, though some chains are beginning to expand overnight hours again. Across the country, fewer chains are keeping locations open overnight, a shift that began during the COVID-19 pandemic and never fully reversed. Restaurant sales plunged 47% in April 2020 from … Read more
Vital clues about how well the brain is aging may already be at our fingertips. A new study out of Portugal found that the speed at which older adults are able to perform a basic, everyday task could be a powerful indicator of cognitive decline. The findings suggest it may one day serve as a … Read more
The Heart Attack Grill, the over-the-top Las Vegas restaurant known for its calorie-loaded “Bypass Burgers” and hospital-themed servers, announced this week it will close its Sin City doors.

Across the country, older adults have embraced a popular supplement often touted as a way to support brain health and possibly even help ward off dementia.

Talk about a brain drain. Several diets have been shown to have brain-boosting effects, from the Mediterranean diet’s gut-brain connection to reduced blood pressure effects from the DASH diet. But one health food staple surprised researchers by being linked to faster cognitive decline, even despite being part of a popular and well-backed healthy diet. One … Read more
With over 7 million people over 65 dealing with the degenerative disease — and the number expected to almost double by 2050 — Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. But two new groundbreaking drugs could pull the reins on the memory impairment and overall brain decline associated with the disease. While there’s no … Read more
It’s all downhill from here. At least, that’s what researchers are reporting from a new study on how our strength, fitness and muscles change as we age. But not all hope is lost when it comes to gym gains with each passing birthday. A new study shows how our strength and fitness levels begin to … Read more
Scientists may have found a way to stop Alzheimer’s damage before it starts — by “melting” the tiny protein clumps that are the early triggers of the disease. Alzheimer’s has long been linked to harmful tau protein fibrils that build up in the brain and interfere with cognitive function, but researchers have now discovered soft, small clusters … Read more
While whiskey, real estate portfolios and emotional intelligence tend to improve with age, sperm does not. New research suggests that your spunk does indeed sour with time — at least in terms of how harmful, age-related mutations can affect your offspring. Publishing in the journal Nature, researchers in the UK tracked the sperm samples of … Read more
New data suggests that fewer young adults are identifying as nonbinary, a term that refers to individuals who do not identify as male or female. Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, released a report titled “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans,” in which he suggests that … Read more
Roughly 39 million Americans suffer from a condition that can mean major health problems down the line — but many have no idea they’ve got it. Despite the soaring numbers, experts say 85% to 90% don’t realize it’s an issue, and one population in particular is dangerously underdiagnosed. A doctor broke down the basics of the … Read more
The federally funded food stamp program is really delivering for brain health, a new study finds. Over 41 million people participated last year in the US Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps low-income families purchase nutritious food. We’ve long known that healthy foods — especially those rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins … Read more
As the health of Americans continues to decline, researchers at the University of Florida are urging a national rethink about fruits and vegetables. Their message is that it’s time to treat produce not just as food but as medicine. In a recent article published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers … Read more
iPad? More like iPreserve. A new study found that older adults who regularly tap, scroll and surf their way through smartphones, computers and other digital devices are less likely to suffer from cognitive impairment. The research casts doubt on the so-called “digital dementia hypothesis,” which suggests that too much screen time in our daily lives … Read more
If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you’ve probably come across a curious-sounding trend called “brain floss.” Don’t worry — unlike teeth flossing, brain flossing doesn’t involve making false promises to your healthcare provider. “Brain flossing is a mental wellbeing phenomenon inspired by the idea of cleansing your mind, much like flossing cleans your teeth,” Uladzimir Seuruk, founder and CEO … Read more
Who needs a crystal ball when you’ve got artificial intelligence? Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a potentially game-changing AI tool capable of detecting subtle changes in brain wave patterns that could predict cognitive decline years before symptoms appear. “This could completely change how we approach dementia prevention,” said Dr. Shahab Haghayegh, lead author … Read more
