Scientists have discovered 22 circulating metabolites that correlate with high intake of ultra-processed foods, providing biological evidence of metabolic distress.

A study of 4,685 Swedish adults identified nine specific gut bacteria linked to future type 2 diabetes risk, suggesting microbial shifts may precede clinical disease.

Scientists have identified the hypothalamic sleep switch that triggers growth hormone pulses during non-REM sleep. This discovery provides insights into how sleep-driven hormonal repair affects metabolic health and neurological conditions.

Recent studies suggest that how sedentary time is accumulated significantly impacts health outcomes. Breaking up prolonged sitting can improve metabolic markers.
