Health Alert: Women Who Work Night Shift May Be at Elevated Risk of Asthma.
Using data from the UK Biobank study, researchers report that women who routinely work nights have a 50% increased risk of asthma. Interestingly, the risk is even greater for postmenopausal women not on hormone replacement therapy, suggesting the underlying cause may be hormonal in nature. The research team did not observe a link between night shifts and asthma in men.

Diet: Ultra-Processed Food Intake in Early Adulthood May Raise Diabetes Risk.
Altered glucose homeostasis refers to a disruption in the body’s ability to maintain stable blood sugar levels, often involving impaired insulin production, insulin resistance, or abnormal glucose metabolism—which can set the stage for type 2 diabetes. An analysis of data from the Meta-AIR study revealed that a high intake of ultra-processed foods is associated with altered glucose homeostasis in early adulthood. The findings are especially alarming as ultra-processed foods account for the majority of calories in the average young adult’s diet.

Mental Attitude: Frequent Nightmares May Increase Risk of Premature Death.
Telomeres are protective DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division, acting as a biological clock that contributes to cellular and overall aging. A recent study found that individuals who experience recurring nightmares show accelerated telomere shortening, likely driven by elevated cortisol levels released in response to stress-inducing dreams. This faster cellular aging is linked to a higher risk of chronic diseases at younger ages and may increase the likelihood of premature death.

Wellness/Prevention: Are Half of Dementia Cases Preventable?
Nearly half of dementia cases may be preventable by addressing modifiable risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, and smoking. Yet, most research and interventions tend to focus on midlife, despite the fact that many of these risk factors emerge much earlier. Experts emphasize that promoting healthier lifestyle habits across the entire lifespan—not just in middle age—could significantly enhance brain health and reduce the overall incidence of cognitive decline and dementia.
