(Natural News) Adipokines are cell signaling proteins produced by adipose tissue (fat). These “circulating hormones” facilitate communication between various organs, such as the brain, liver and muscles. Dysregulation of adipokines, which also mediate inflammation, has dire consequences and is associated with serious health problems like obesity, cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. In a recent study, researchers from the Medical […]

(Natural News) Coenzyme Q10, better known as CoQ10, is an antioxidant that the body produces naturally. Mainly found in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas, CoQ10 is used by cells for growth and maintenance. As a person ages, however, CoQ10 levels naturally decrease. This can increase the risk of developing chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes […]

(Natural News) Immune function declines with age, and this decline is said to be largely influenced by the composition of a person’s gut microbiota. The gut microbiota protects the digestive system from external pathogens by modulating immune responses. However, aging reduces the diversity of the gut microbiota, and this leads to unfavorable conditions, such as frailty, increased […]

(Natural News) Published in the journal Nutrition Research, this study evaluated the effect of probiotic supplementation on the cellular innate activity of healthy elderly participants. All experiments were conducted by researchers from Finland and the US. Immune function declines with age, but scientists believe that probiotic supplementation can slow or reverse age-related changes. The researchers hypothesized that probiotic supplementation […]

(Natural News) The development of endometriosis, particularly the possible involvement of free radical-mediated oxidative damage in the peritoneal fluid, is of great interest to researchers. However, findings regarding this subject remain inconsistent. To address this, researchers from the Medical University of Lublin in Poland decided to investigate iron metabolism markers and their influence on oxidative stress parameters in the […]

(Natural News) Lyme disease is one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the US. The CDC reports that around 30,000 Americans get infected by Lyme every year. However, other data gathering methods suggest that this number can rise to 300,000 cases each year. Because of the rising number of Lyme disease cases, scientists have […]

But the unfortunate thing about coffee is that information about its association with heart health can be very conflicting. Some studies claim that […]

(Natural News) A study from the University of British Columbia in Canada suggested the potential benefits of head massage therapy to heart health. These benefits include decreased heart rate and It was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.  What is massage therapy? Massage is the process of pressing, rubbing, and manipulating the skin, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of […]

(Natural News) You have probably relegated light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the same spot that electric light bulbs used to occupy in your awareness. At the most, there will be a slight footnote that the new device gives off more light and consumes less energy than the old one. But some researchers are arguing that LEDs bring more than […]

(Natural News) An interesting case study detailed the application of integrated yoga and naturopathy (IYN) in managing metabolic syndrome (MetS) of an obese individual. The patient showed significant improvements in MetS-related parameters after a six-week therapy session involving customized treatment. This outcome suggests that it is not only possible to integrate yoga and naturopathy together, […]
