Is Walking Good for Heart Health? Yes-Especially If You Do This

You've probably heard that taking 10,000 steps a day is key for lasting cardiovascular health. But that number doesn't actually originate from scientific research. In fact, experts say it comes from a 1960s Japanese pedometer ad. Reaching that goal can still be beneficial. But new evidence suggests that continuous walks may be just as effective, if not more so-even for people with lower total step counts.

"Supercharged" vitamin K derivatives offer new hope for neurodegenerative diseases

Researchers synthesized a series of hybrid vitamin?K analogues (linked with retinoic acid or modified side chains) that show about threefold greater potency in driving neural progenitor cells to differentiate into neurons compared to natural vitamin?K (MK?4). Mechanistic studies revealed that vitamin?K activates mGluR1?mediated signaling, triggering downstream epigenetic and transcriptional programs that steer stem cells toward a neuronal fate. Structural modeling and molecular docking showed that the lead analogue (Novel VK / compound?7) binds more strongly to mGluR1 than natural MK?4, reinforcing the receptor's central role.

How Sugar Impacts Your Memory

Recent studies conclude that high glucose levels from sugar impacts your memory and impair cognition. In fact, individuals with diabetes, a condition that causes elevated high blood-sugar levels, are known to increase stress and have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia. It seems that the brain in type II diabetes, just like the body, has difficulty utilizing sugar for energy and this can lead to slower processing when it comes to memory retrieval.
