Story at-a-glance Sleep is not just downtime but a built-in survival mechanism that protects your brain from toxic byproducts created when mitochondria leak electrons New research shows that the more electrons your cells fail to use, the greater the buildup of reactive oxygen species, which…
Refined carbohydrates like white bread, pasta and many breakfast cereals can spike blood sugar as dramatically as sugary sweets. The Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) are tools to understand how different foods affect blood sugar levels. Food sequencing—eating fiber-rich vegetables and proteins before…
Story at-a-glance A major clinical trial in The Lancet Psychiatry found that boosting dopamine with pramipexole improved symptoms in treatment-resistant depression. This challenges the long-dominant serotonin deficiency theory Supporting those findings, another study showed that agomelatine, a serotonin-blocking drug, consistently reduced anxiety and depression in…
