Mary Berry’s keen sense for all things culinary was evident early on in her career when, at the age of 31, she became food editor of Housewife magazine. At that time, Mary was only getting started on a career that would go on to see her publish more than 75 cookery books and host several successful television shows, including the […] (HealthDay)—A deadly virus that’s surging through a foreign country makes its way into the United States, carried into this country by an unwitting traveler. In response, Americans panic, convinced the pathogen will soon sweep through the nation—even though only a handful of people in the United States have fallen ill. That may sound like the current state of affairs with […] The opioid crisis and deaths related to e-cigarette use among teenagers have dominated news headlines recently. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 34 people had died as a result of vaping and, in 2017, opioid addiction was responsible for more than 47,000 deaths in the U.S. Opioid addiction has been declared a public health emergency. Yet […] THURSDAY, Feb. 13, 2020 — Young black Americans face higher rates of stroke than others as a result of high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity, new research suggests. But the same study finds they typically underestimate their stroke risk. “If people think they’re not at risk of a stroke, they are less likely to change their behavior to reduce the […] Scientists create an artificial ‘virus’ which can track down and destroy antibiotic-resistant bacteria without being spotted by the immune system Scientists used the inspiration of a virus to design antibiotic from ground up Viruses like ‘solid cages’ built from tiny blocks, with shape determining function Researchers took shape and used it as scaffold to build a new virus Designed it […] The latest strain of coronavirus, a respiratory illness associated with the common cold and pneumonia, has recently spread from China to the United States and Europe. As of Jan. 26, five travel-related cases in the United States have been confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 1,320 cases of the […] People who are homeless experience some of the worst health outcomes in England and die 30 years earlier than the general population, with a life expectancy of just 47. But free fitness classes offered for homeless and vulnerable people are making huge steps to improve physical health and tackle issues like loneliness and isolation. The Sport and Health Project, created […] High blood pressure causes your blood vessels to narrow because the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is consistently too high. This means your heart has to work harder to pump blood around the body – a mechanism that can lead to a heart attack. Luckily, the condition is easily reversed by making healthy tweaks to your lifestyle. […] The heart’s ability to beat normally over a lifetime is predicated on the synchronized work of proteins embedded in the cells of the heart muscle. Like a fleet of molecular motors that get turned on and off, these proteins cause the heart cells to contract, then force them to relax, beat after life-sustaining beat. Now a study led by researchers […] Many people turn to artificial or so-called natural sweeteners to cut calories and lose weight. A new study led by Dr. Raylene Reimer, Ph.D., published in the high-impact journal Gut discovered that the consumption of low-calorie sweeteners while pregnant increased body fat in their offspring and disrupted their gut microbiota—the trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that inhabit the intestinal […]
