Researchers who previously found that exercising for just three seconds a day, five days a week, improved muscle strength have undertaken a new study to determine the minimum number of days of three-second exercise you need to do to reap the benefits.C… Continue reading 3-second workout just 3 times a week provides real benefits
Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular and other disease, even before symptoms appear.Continue Rea… Continue reading AI analysis will predict future disease from bone density scans
