Discover how tiger nuts, an ancient tuber once prized in Egypt, are gaining modern recognition for their role in gut health, cholesterol management, and sustainable nutrition.

Tiger nuts are nutrient-rich tubers with potential benefits for digestion, cardiovascular health, and metabolic regulation, though most evidence comes from small-scale studies. They are also allergen-friendly and versatile in foods, but more clinical research is needed to confirm long-term effects.

A new study shows that juice can reduce blood pressure in older adults by enhancing nitric oxide pathways through shifts in oral bacteria, pointing to a simple nutritional strategy for healthier aging.

Dietary nitrate from beetroot juice lowered blood pressure in older adults but not in younger participants in a double-blind crossover trial. The effect was linked to oral microbiome changes, including reduced Prevotella and higher plasma nitrite, without improvements in endothelial function

Despite rising life expectancy, a study out of Mayo Clinic reveals widening health gaps shaped by distinct disease patterns, warning that longer lives are not necessarily healthier ones.

Researchers mapped the global healthspan-lifespan gap across 183 countries, showing people live longer but not healthier, with Africa experiencing the fastest widening gap. Distinct disease-burden clusters explain regional differences and highlight the need for region-specific health strategies.

Automated AI review of coronary imaging pinpoints dangerous plaques more effectively than manual assessment, helping identify patients who need closer monitoring after a heart attack.

Researchers found that AI applied to OCT imaging can standardize detection of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and identify post–heart attack patients at higher two-year risk. Whole-segment AI analysis outperformed lesion-focused human review, offering stronger prognostic value and reassurance for lo...

Explore how lychee’s potent compounds may protect the brain and fight cancer, while scientists race to translate these promising findings into safe, standardized therapies.

Lychee contains bioactive compounds with antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer properties, though most evidence comes from experimental models. Further research and clinical trials are needed to confirm its safety, efficacy, and therapeutic potential.

A Europe-wide analysis reveals how geography, culture, and environment shape the risk of Toxoplasma gondii infection, offering new insights for public health and prevention. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250901/Review-maps-Toxoplasma-hotspots-Half-in-Eastern-Europe-infected-by-age-44.aspx European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control - ECDC

Researchers systematically reviewed and modeled Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence across 25 European countries. The study found striking regional differences, with highest infection levels in eastern and western Europe and lowest in the UK and northern regions.

From chestnut to manuka, honey varieties demonstrate neuroprotective power in lab studies against Alzheimer’s disease, but scientists stress that only human trials can reveal real-world benefits. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250901/Can-honey-protect-your-brain-Study-reviews-its-potential-against-Alzheimers.aspx Nutrients MDPI

This review examined 27 preclinical studies on honey and Alzheimer’s disease, showing honey’s bioactive compounds counter oxidative stress, inflammation, and amyloid buildup. Despite promising lab results, no human trials exist, underscoring the need for clinical research.

A new study shows metformin enhances myelin repair in human-based models by tuning mitochondrial metabolism, offering hope for multiple sclerosis treatment. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250901/Why-metformin-could-protect-the-brain-by-rewiring-mitochondria.aspx Nature Portfolio

Metformin boosts human oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination across stem-cell, organoid, and chimera models. The study links these effects to mitochondrial metabolic shifts, supporting its potential as a therapy for multiple sclerosis.

A UK study finds that children breastfed at six months show measurable gains in IQ, reading, and math skills, with unique benefits for language and conversation. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250901/Breastfeeding-at-six-months-boosts-childrene28099s-IQ-and-academic-skills-into-adolescence.aspx University of Bristol

Breastfeeding at six months was linked to higher IQ, better reading and math skills, and improved conversational abilities in children, according to the ALSPAC study. The findings, based on 42 significant outcomes, highlight long-term cognitive advantages but stop short of proving causality.

New research shows that women following a modified Mediterranean diet were far less likely to report disruptive hot flashes and sexual discomfort, pointing to diet as a promising non-hormonal approach to menopausal well-being. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250901/How-a-Mediterranean-diet-helps-women-manage-menopausal-symptoms.aspx Scientific Reports

A cross-sectional study of 149 postmenopausal women found that greater adherence to a modified Mediterranean diet was linked to lower odds of moderate to severe hot flashes and sexual symptoms. While psychological and physical domains showed no significant association, the results support further ev...

Feeding blueberries to infants in the first year of life may help alleviate allergy symptoms and alter immune responses, suggesting a new dietary approach in infant health research. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250831/Babies-fed-blueberries-show-fewer-allergy-symptoms-and-boosted-immune-balance.aspx Nutrients MDPI

Daily blueberry powder given to infants during complementary feeding modestly influenced allergic symptom resolution and shaped immune biomarker–microbiota associations. Findings suggest early diet may play a role in immune development, though results are preliminary and exploratory.
