Scientists discovered a unique component of a saltwater crocodile’s physiology that helps its immune system identify & kill fungal infections

The researchers say their findings highlight the potential risk of taking antioxidant supplements when they’re not needed

A groundbreaking study, unveiled at the European Nutrition Conference by researchers from King's College London, sheds light on the transformative effects of a 10-hour eating window on sleep patterns and hunger cues.

A recent study reveals that consuming meals within a 10-hour window offers various health benefits, including increased energy, enhanced mood, decreased appetite, and improved sleep. Researchers from King's College London presented these findings at the European Nutrition Conference. The study involved over 37,000 participants using the ZOE Health app.

Every 45 seconds someone in Europe suffers a cardiac arrest - or in other words sudden cardiac death. In this situation, a quick response is especially important. Therefore, in most European countries, defibrillators have been installed in public places for years, which can save lives in an emergency. In Bulgaria, this happens at a much slower pace.

Neighbors helped rescue teams comb through mud and debris Monday for signs of dozens of people missing after a landslide swept through a town in Venezuela, killing at least 36.

More than 3,000 rescuers were deployed in Las Tejerias, some 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the capital Caracas, after Venezuela's worst natural disaster in decades.

This spring was different in every way. It was considerably delayed and seemed literally and figuratively like a heavy winter.

There was a protracted cold spell, the pandemic stubbornly persisted, and the murderous war in Ukraine disorganised everything, including all expectations.

Nutritionist Stoyan Petkov shared some useful tips as to how stay in good shape when working from home.

"If you have taken care of your body throughout the year, holiday eating spree will hardly do you much harm. It is not good to say "no" to some foods because we are very likely to eat something else instead and in greater amounts at that, Petkov advised.

By accident, scientists in the United States have not only slowed down, but directly reversed the aging process. The results are yet to be re-tested by testing larger groups of volunteers, but researchers are optimistic, according to a publication in Aging Cell.
