Is this important in aging? The evidence here shows the existence of the mechanism in a lower species, but that doesn't n...

Eggs And High Blood Pressure: Decoding The Dietary Dilemma
Conclusion In navigating the winding road of managing high blood pressure, several key points emerge. Eggs, while a source of ongoing debate, can form part of a balanced diet for most people.

Avoiding processed meats and sugary breakfast options, while incorporating nutrient-dense foods, can significantly impact your blood pressure management. But remember, it’s not all about diet. A comprehensive approach, involving regular physical activity, stress mana...

The Sweet Spot of Health Care Cost Containment
BY BEN WHEATLEY As health care continues to move in the direction of unaffordability, policy makers are considering a range of options to bring down health care costs. The Health Affairs Committee on Health Care Spending and Value has identified four broad areas for reform, including administrative savings, price regulation and supports for competition, spending growth targets, and value-based payment. These measures appropriately target health care’s supply side and the excesses that exist in the health care system. In this blog, I would like to highlight another avenue for savings: one that focuses on the demand ...

We’ve seen that alcohol, whether consumed moderately, heavily, or in a binge pattern, can impact blood pressure. We also delved into the biological mechanisms at play, the role of various drinking patterns, and the sobering revelations of recent research. While the pleasure of a drink might be fleeting, its effects on our body, particularly on our blood pressure, can be long-lasting. The key takeaway? Moderation. Even a small reduction in alcohol intake can have significant health benefits, partic...

Gratitude: The Art of Savoring.
I was stressed this past past few weeks I finally figured in a sports injury which was supposed to be a way to de-stress my body. The many roles I acquired during the pandemic finally took its toll after almost all required physical presence and face to face activities. Face to face tasks demand full attention and physical presence. You cannot attend two conferences at the same time anymore or listen to two lectures on two different gadgets. It seems that, the technology enabled “always present, always available” does not hold true anymore post pandemic. It came to a frustrating point that I decided to give...

In this study, we used a Drosophila model to understand the role of the dec2P384R mutation on animal health and elucidate the mechanisms driving these physiological changes. We found that the expression of the mammalian dec2P384R transgene in fly sleep neurons was sufficient to mimic the short sleep phenotype observed in mammals. Remarkably, dec2P384Rmutants lived significantly longer with improved health despite sleeping less. In particular, dec2P384R mutants were more stress resistant and displayed improved mitochondrial fitness in flight muscles. Differential gene expression analyses went on to reveal several altered tr...
