For many adults over 50, belly fat becomes the most stubborn part of the body to slim down. That’s because age, stress, and hormonal shifts can all cause extra fat to accumulate around the abdomen. But the good news is that you can shed unwanted fat around your midsection without endless crunches or intense workouts. Studies show that low-impact strength …

Summary: Scientists have shown that neurons don’t rely solely on sugar for energy — they can also burn fat. When energy demand spikes, neurons even create their own fats by recycling parts of themselves, a process dependent on a key protein called DDHD2. In Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia 54 (HSP54), DDHD2 malfunctions, cutting off this energy source and impairing neuron function. …

Walking is low impact, accessible, and free. But does walking build muscle? In a study on global participation rates in sport, walking was found to be the most popular physical activity among adults in four of six global regions including the Americas. But are we accomplishing anything more than getting away from our desks for a few minutes? What happens …

Swapping refined carbs for fiber-rich complex carbohydrates may help you lose visceral fat. Oats, barley and quinoa may help reduce this fat by curbing appetite and changing gut bacteria. Sweet potatoes, beans and lentils are also great choices for reducing visceral fat. Visceral fat lies deep within the abdominal cavity and wraps around organs like the liver and intestines. Unlike …

A groundbreaking new study presented at the 38th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM’25) has revealed a powerful link between visceral fat, the deep belly fat stored around internal organs, and aggressive forms of endometrial cancer. Researchers found that it’s not just the amount of belly fat that matters, but how metabolically active that fat is. …

Visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat surrounding vital organs like the liver, pancreas, and intestines, poses serious health risks, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and fatty liver. Interventional cardiologist Dr Pradip Jamnadas explains that excessive sugar intake elevates insulin levels, promoting the storage of harmful visceral fat. He highlights fasting as a powerful strategy to target this dangerous fat effectively. …

New research from the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) has revealed that neurons in the brain use fats for energy, challenging decades of scientific thinking and opening the door to new treatments for neurological disease. For years, scientists believed that healthy neurons, the brain’s communication cells, relied solely on glucose and its metabolites to power their activity. But …

A new study suggests fat deposits in the brain may play a larger role in Alzheimer’s disease than previously thought. This could open a new avenue for potential treatment. Research has long focused on proteins found abnormally clumping in brains with neurodegeneration, but targeting these clumps has so far produced mixed results. So some researchers continue to search for missing …
