By Dr. Mercola Every person who takes up running has been confronted by a “helpful” critic who is more than happy to reel off the reasons running will ruin your life. Here’s a look at three questionable claims about running and health: 1. Running will give you a heart attack or other heart problems. It is true that exercise temporarily raises the odds of a heart attack while you’re mid-workout, but doing it consistently reduces that risk over the long haul, leading to a net benefit. Going for a run most days of the week is doing far more good

There’s a certain level of satisfaction we tend to get from seeing celebrities get taken down a peg. Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow was scolded by the NHS for giving advice they didn’t like about treating long Covid. Fair enough – Gwyneth can talk about how she’s dealing with long Covid and the NHS can tell everyone her advice is bunk. Freedom of speech, and all that. But the director of the NHS, Prof Stephen Powis in a statement not-so-sublty called on social media to censor celebrities from reporting on what they’re doing for their health issues (specifically for Covid). This is

Most of us who hit our 40s will find our bodies slowing down, accumulating aches, or suffering a new chronic health condition. Even if our health wasn’t great before, middle age is full of reminders that one’s own peak of youthful bloom is over. Our parents, if they’re still with us, have probably started to need more help. They may come back from doctors’ appointments with complicated diagnoses, and even more complicated prescriptions. They’re a little more tired than they used to be, and they often don’t tell us the half of it, to spare our feelings. The inevitable decline

The Health Advisory and Recovery Team (HART) is a group of highly qualified UK doctors, scientists, economists, psychologists and other academic experts, including sceptical stars whose pieces have been featured or flagged up in Lockdown Sceptics such as Dr John Lee, Dr Clare Craig, Dr Malcolm Kendrick, Joel Smalley, Prof David Livermore, Prof David Seedhouse, Prof David Paton and Dr Gary Sidley. The team has now produced its most devastating piece of work to date. The new report, entitled “COVID-19: an overview of the evidence”, was sent to MPs today to encourage them to vote against the renewal of the

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Most people probably don’t think of anti-aging when they hear the word fiber (although bowel regularity certainly may come to mind). But it turns out that one of the key benefits of fiber is helping people maintain healthier, more youthful bodies throughout their lifespan. What is fiber, you might ask? Fiber (including soluble and insoluble) is a type of plant material that can’t be broken down by enzymes in the digestive tract. It’s also one of those nutrients that’s best consumed from the food you eat rather than from added supplements (for reasons we’ll

Researchers have discovered a function in the immune system that could hold the key to treating allergic conditions like asthma and stop life-threatening anaphylaxis. Experts from The Australian National University (ANU) have unearthed a natural way the body prevents autoimmune disease and allergies. The process is driven by a protein in the body called neuritin. “We found this absolutely fascinating mechanism of our own bodies that stops the production of rogue antibodies that can cause either autoimmunity or allergies,” senior author, ANU Professor Carola Vinuesa, said. “It’s been known for years that neuritin has a role in the brain and

In a breakthrough that will be welcomed across the globe, University of Surrey researchers claim to have developed a highly accurate Covid-19 test using non-invasive skin swab samples. Much of the world population who have undergone Covid-19 tests have likely experienced the rather unpleasant polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, which, as many recipients attest, feels like the equivalent to having your brains scrambled like an egg or ‘stabbed’ given how far back in the throat and down the nose the swab must go. No penetration of the brain occurs in reality, however. Authorities in China took things a few steps

A groundbreaking new study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers from both the College of Science and Engineering and the Medical School shows for the first time that lab-created heart valves implanted in young lambs for a year were capable of growth within the recipient. The valves also showed reduced calcification and improved blood flow function compared to animal-derived valves currently used when tested in the same growing lamb model. If confirmed in humans, these new heart valves could prevent the need for repeated valve replacement surgeries in thousands of children born each year with congenital heart defects.

By Damon Hines, staff writer (Natural Health365) Our ancient ancestors documented the health benefits of mushrooms as early as 200 or 250 CE in the book The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica, a fundamental text on Chinese wellness practices, medicinal plants, and agriculture. From China’s Reishi mushroom, which is known for its immune-supporting properties, to Finland’s Chaga mushroom, it supports antioxidant pathways, the health benefits and ecological and culinary potential of fungi are as diverse as the number of species that dot the forest floor. But our relationship with mushrooms is complicated. For every semi-obsessed forager scouring the woods for wild

By Damon Hines, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Jay Westerveld coined the term “greenwashing” in the mid-1980s to describe false and outrageous corporate environmental claims. The story behind the term goes as follows: Oil giant Chevron commissioned a series of slick TV and print ads to convince the public that the company was a caring environmental steward, and these ads showed Chevron employees protecting bears, butterflies, sea turtles, and a host of other cute and cuddly creatures. While the commercials won an Effie advertising award, they became notorious in environmental circles as the gold standard of greenwashing – the practice of making

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Heart disease, which claims over 655,000 lives every year in the United States, is the number one killer in the nation and the leading cause of death worldwide. While multiple factors contribute to heart disease, natural health experts and forward-thinking dietitians have long suspected that heavy consumption of refined grains plays a role. In other words: you might want to think twice before having that doughnut. A just-published study in the British Medical Journal revealed that a higher intake of refined grains is associated with a substantially higher risk of major cardiovascular events –

By Damon Hines, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Have you ever wondered why there are so many flavors of potato chips or why supermarket shelves are stacked like a Tetris game of cereal and cookie varieties, the more over-the-top the taste combinations the better? Changing a food item just a little, say, from barbecue to honey barbecue or ranch to cheddar ranch, creates a novelty that lights up the brain with excitement. Corporate food giants exploit that excitement by creating highly processed foods loaded with salt, sugar, and fat, and they profit, at the expense of consumers’ health, from the biological idea
