Their findings highlight the importance of diet qu… Continue reading Some low-carb diets are better for long-term weight loss, study finds
While 2023 saw some major breakthroughs in the fields of medicine and biology (daily cancer pill anyone?), it was also a year in which researchers homed in on a variety of relatively small and simple lifestyle modifications that can positively impact human health. These are discoveries you can use right now to potentially boost your health, fight disease, and live longer. As the year draws to a close, we thought we’d share some of them with you so that you can put a little science power behind whatever winds up on your resolution list this year.
