3 Scientists have found in laboratory studies that a compound called melittin, found in honey bee venom, can rapidly kill two types of invasive breast cancer cells: triple-negative (TNB) cells and HER2-positive (HER2-positive) cells. Interestingly, healthy cells are not harmed in the process! Melittin cuts off cancer cells’ growth signals by creating holes in their membranes, preventing them from dividing. The venom worked in less than 1/2 minute, while venom from other bees, which lack melittin, had no effect. The findings offer new hope for future targeted cancer treatments.

Your Heart’s Secret: It Has Its Own Nervous System

Researchers have discovered that the heart has its own complex nervous system, often referred to as a "mini-brain," capable of regulating its rhythm independently from the brain.

This system includes specialized neurons, some with pacemaker properties, challenging the long-held belief that the heartbeat is solely controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

Using zebrafish, which have cardiac functions similar to humans, scientists mapped this neural network and revealed its crucial role in maintaining heart rhythm.

Movement 1 Name - Pressing Two Hands Towards Heaven TCM - This movement opens up the Sanjiao or Triple warmer meridian. The Sanjiao is a yang meridian and runs up the back of the arm to the head from the corner of the nail bed of the ring finger (closest to the little finger), to the side of the eye, just under the tip of the eyebrow.

There are 20 amino acids, nine of which are essential amino acids. We need to get the nine essential amino acids from our food while our bodies can make the other 11 amino acids. Plant-based foods contain all nine essential amino acids despite the common narrative that they don’t.

It was once thought that plant-based foods had to be eaten together, also called protein combining, in order to meet your protein needs. Still, research suggests that as long as the diet contains a variety of grains, legumes, vegetables, and other plant sources, protein needs are easily met.

Eight Week Vegan Diet Lowers Biological Age

A new study found that an eight-week vegan diet can lower biological age estimates based on DNA methylation levels.

The study, which included 21 pairs of adult identical twins, showed that those on a vegan diet experienced reductions in biological age and improvements in heart, hormone, liver, inflammatory, and metabolic systems.

Participants on an omnivorous diet did not see these benefits.

Researchers note that weight loss differences might have influenced the results, highlighting the need for further research on diet and aging.
