Study links midlife obesity and belly fat to cognitive aging

June 13, 2023 -

For their study, researchers at Iowa State University (ISU) analyzed data collected over the span of six years from a cohort of cognitively unimpaired adults who were in their late midlife. They found that the participants' cognitive performance was greatly influenced by two things: the amount of lean muscle mass they had and the amount of visceral adipose tissue they managed to accumulate.

Big Pharma wants taxpayers to pay for risky obesity drugs – but Medicare can’t afford it

2 months ago -

Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are GLP-1 receptor agonists that can help the body better process sugar and regulate dopamine, and studies have shown they can prevent diabetes while reducing weight.

These drugs are generally only covered by Medicare Part D and commercial insurers for treating diabetes. Without this coverage, patients seeking to lose weight are often paying around $16,000 a year for it – placing it well out of reach for most Americans, especially ...

At least 90% of processed foods, including many organic items, now contain mind-numbing, obesity-inducing CANOLA OIL

Study shows EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL can promote weight loss, reduce body fat and improve liver health

January 05, 2024 -

In recent years, many people have begun including "extra virgin" (unrefined and typically cold-pressed) coconut oil (EVCO) in their diets because of its reported weight loss benefits.
