Beetroot juice may help lower blood pressure in older adults, partly by changing bacteria in the mouth. Beetroot is rich in ...

A UC Davis study found that adding banana to a berry smoothie sharply reduced the amount of flavanols absorbed by the body. The likely reason is an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, which is high in ...

A research team has shown that cutting the formation of hybrid insulin peptides delayed the onset of type 1 diabetes in a ...

A large US study suggests that older age by itself may not be the main driver of cardiovascular complications in pregnancy. Instead, pregnancy seems to amplify a person’s existing cardiovascular risk, ...

Researchers have developed an experimental hydrogel that helps transplanted insulin-producing cells survive and function better in diabetic mice. The gel supports blood vessel growth around the graft ...

A small trial found that some older adults showed improvements in biological ageing markers after just four weeks on certain diets. The clearest effect was seen in a lower-fat, higher-carbohydrate ...

New research suggests chronic infections around the tip of a tooth root may be linked to poorer blood sugar control and wider inflammation in the body. Some studies found that people who had root ...

A large clinical trial found that older adults taking a daily multivitamin showed slightly slower ageing on DNA-based markers over two years. The effect was small, roughly equivalent to about four ...

The NHS rollout of hybrid closed-loop systems for type 1 diabetes appears to be reducing the usual gaps in access linked to deprivation and ethnicity. Early data suggest uptake has been far more equal ...

A new trial suggests retatrutide may become the most effective weight loss injection yet tested. In the phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 study, adults taking the highest 12mg dose lost an average of 28.3% of their ...

A Spanish study found that children getting more than 30% of their daily energy from ultra-processed foods had a much higher ...

A new mouse study suggests microscopic particles released in the gut may contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance and wider metabolic damage linked to ageing. Exosomes from older mice appeared ...
