Space travel has always been a topic of fascination for humans. The idea of exploring the vastness of the universe and venturing beyond our home planet is thrilling. However, as exciting as it may seem, the reality of space travel is far from glamorous. The effects of space on the human body are numerous and
A recent study conducted in mice has revealed intriguing findings about the effects of isoleucine, an essential amino acid, on ageing and lifespan. The research suggests that limited intake of isoleucine not only slows down the progression of ageing but also extends the lifespan of mice. These findings have sparked the interest of scientists, who
A recent study conducted on psychiatric patients indicates that a variety of everyday movements is associated with improved wellbeing. Traditionally, when we consider activities that enhance mental health, we think of deliberate and strenuous exercises such as jogging, cycling, or swimming. However, this study suggests that simply visiting different locations can have a significant positive
