We found that higher food thiamin intake was significantly associated with lower incidence of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and ED (all p trend 1.3 μg were 0.782 (0.651 to 0.940) (p<0.05). These findings suggest that dietary thiamin intake may play a protective role in...

Scientific studies confirm that reducing carbohydrate intake leads to significant decreases in water retention, primarily due to the way the body stores energy as glycogen. When carbohydrates are absorbed, they bind to water; 1g of glycogen (carbohydrate) binds to 3g of water. If you eat a diet...

There are many studies showing the relationship between belly fat and men bone density. This is just one. The u-curve for men's belly fat and bone density can be analyzed through body composition measurements, particularly using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scans. Body Fat...

Potential of a drug called XP-8121. This drug is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection of levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and has a total addressable market of over $1 billion. Current treatment for hypothyroidism requires daily oral pills taken on an empty stomach, which many patients struggle...

Free T3 (triiodothyronine) lowers LDL cholesterol primarily by accelerating its clearance from the blood through the liver and enhancing the conversion of cholesterol into other substances for excretion. As of 2025, research highlights several key biological pathways for this effect...

The statement, “That ‘drug’ already exists—and it’s strength training,” highlights the extensive and potent health benefits of resistance exercise, often described in medical literature as a form of "miracle drug" due to its wide-ranging positive effects on nearly every bodily system...

A new book from a renowned Harvard University doctor reveals why being happy is an even better predictor of a long life than your cholesterol levels are. Plus, his most shocking scientific discovery about how to become happy—all based on 100 years of Harvard health data. Building and...

Scientists discovered that more muscle and less hidden abdominal fat are linked to a younger biological brain age. Deep visceral fat appeared to accelerate brain aging, while muscle mass offered a protective effect. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251125112506.htm...

I know some members complain about my high testosterone levels. Maybe it's not my T levels that makes me feel so good, maybe it's my E2 levels. Is this true? My Estradiol, Sensitive 26.7 pg/mL range 8.0-35.0, how much better could it be. What's the u-shape for estrogen? After my research it...

This study will determine whether the presence of DNA repair deficiency in the form of alterations in the genes ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 predicts for a high likelihood of responding to the use of intermittent high dose testosterone. This therapy may result in responses in tumors which are genetically...

AI Overview While weight training can contribute to overall health, it doesn't directly equate to a high VO2 max, which is a measure of aerobic capacity. Weight training primarily improves strength and muscle mass, while VO2 max is more closely linked to cardiovascular fitness and endurance...

For longevity, men who are shorter tend to live longer than taller men. Studies suggest that men under 5'4" or even 5'2" may have a protective advantage, potentially due to factors like the FOX03 gene and lower fasting insulin levels, according to Healthline. The FOXO3 gene plays a significant...

At the age of 69, he was diagnosed with cancer and given only three months to live by doctors. Instead of accepting this prognosis and undergoing surgery, Mike decided to take a different approach and embraced a plant-based macrobiotic diet inspired by "The Cancer Prevention Diet" by Michio...
