Yoga improved 10-year cardiovascular risk by lowering systolic blood pressure and resting heart rate.
Researchers have long searched for genetic influences in schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts brain activity producing hallucinations, delusions, and other cognitive disturbances. However, the disease's genetic mutations have been identified in only a small fraction fewer than a quarter of sequenced patients. A new study shows that 'somatic' gene mutations in brain cells could account for some neuropathology diseases.
Traditional foods and meals created from fresh and minimally processed components are gradually being replaced by ultra-processed foods (UPFs), ready-to-eat or heat industrial formulations made with substances taken from foods or synthesised in laboratories, recent research has revealed
Philadelphia [US], February 9 (ANI): Initial orthostatic hypotension (IOH) is a condition of feeling lightheaded upon standing up due to, or a transient decrease in blood pressure and increase in heart rate.

A new study has offered two simple cost- and drug-free techniques to effectively manage symptoms of IOH and improve quality of life by activating lower body muscle before or after standing.
