Specifically, our review shows that the amount of SM measured with in vivo reference methods is variable depending on multiple factors, and hence, there is no single accepted ‘gold standard’ against which other in vivo methods are calibrated or validated.

The results show that metabolism is regulated by a tightly interconnected system. In total, the study identified 88,604 associations between genetic variants and metabolites across the data of 619,372 individuals.

According to the researchers, the key seems to be walking at a speedy clip for at least half an hour per day. Those who did so showed a progressively reduced risk of death from any cause—at least among the groups walking less than 7,500 steps per day.

There is growing scientific evidence underscoring the importance of maintaining healthy dietary habits, balanced nutritional intake, appropriate body composition parameters, and body homeostasis.

Decades and entire lifetimes later, the long-tail effect of that enforced sugar reduction during World War II appears to have dramatically boosted the health of an entire generation of wartime babies, research suggests.

How a path has opened up toward a radically different but still science-based picture of reality, one that takes consciousness as ontologically fundamental and celebrates human spiritual experiences and capacities.

Body composition is inherently influenced by various factors, with physical activity, sleep, and stress being among those most amenable to individual regulation. These factors represent modifiable determinants that individuals can actively manage.

Part of the reason the Mediterranean diet is so highly regarded is because it’s flexible and easy to follow, unlike fad diets that often have rigid rules. What’s more, you don’t need to break the bank to follow this eating pattern.

Just 90–120 minutes of strength training a week may deliver some of the biggest long-term health rewards, according to a study tracking more than 147,000 people for 30 years.

A protein best known for protecting the ends of chromosomes also helps muscle stem cells preserve their identity and repair damaged tissue, according to a new study from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Alongside Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA, human genomes preserve traces of two other relatives no one can identify. Neither has a sequenced genome or a confirmed fossil, and part of one may be sitting in your DNA.

An analysis of biological clocks throughout the human body suggests that too few hours of sleep—and too many—may speed aging in the brain, heart, lung, and immune system and is associated with a wide range of diseases.
