Summary: While current weight-loss blockbusters like GLP-1s focus on suppressing appetite, researchers have uncovered a completely different strategy: increasing energy expenditure by “building out” the body’s natural heat-generating tissue. The study reveals how a protein called SLIT3 acts as a “split signal” to grow the essential nerve and blood vessel networks within brown fat. Without … Read more

A recent study suggests reducing dietary protein may slow liver cancer development in people with impaired liver function, but healthy individuals likely do not need to worry. New research indicates that lowering protein intake could reduce the risk of liver cancer or slow its progression in individuals with liver disease. Scientists from Rutgers University highlight … Read more
A long-term study published in Science Advances has found that while a ketogenic diet limited weight gain in mice, prolonged adherence triggered metabolic disruptions, including impaired insulin secretion, fatty liver disease and elevated blood lipids, raising questions about the diet’s long-term safety as it continues to gain popularity for weight loss and metabolic health. The … Read more

Walking might seem like the simplest form of exercise — something your fitness tracker demands you do 10,000 times a day. But in Japan, scientists have taken this humble activity and supercharged it into a research-backed, age-defying fitness routine that’s going viral across the world. It’s called Interval Walking Training (IWT), and its benefits may … Read more
