Historians recently unearthed some «health hacks» dating back to the Middle Ages v and some sound like they came straight off TikTok.
The database, called the Corpus of Early Medieval Latin Medicine, offers a wealth of information about how people in the so-called «Dark Ages» viewed health, science and medicine. It was announced by Binghamton University in July.
Meg Leja, an associate professor at the university, told Fox News Digital that she helped catalog hundreds of medieval medical texts, particularly focusing on all surviving Latin manuscripts up to the year 1000.

«This means that we covered most of Continental Europe, but not England, where many early medieval medical writings were in the vernacular (i.e., Old English),» she said.
«Because very few manuscripts survive from before the year 600, effectively our date range is 600 to 1000.»
Some of the cures, researchers said, could fit into in modern wellness ..

In recent weeks, two high-school football players — Joshua Henderson, 16, from Tennessee, and Mikah King, 15, from Georgia — collapsed and died after practicing in the heat.
In 2017, the same tragedy occurred when Zach Martin, 16, died of heatstroke during summer football practice in Florida.
After collapsing, he was taken to the hospital with a body temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit.

Updated cancer screening guidance has reportedly caused a spike in diagnoses among younger Americans.
According to two studies by the American Cancer Society (ACS), there’s been a recent surge in colorectal cancer in people aged 45 to 49.
ACS scientists found that after 15 years of stable colorectal cancer (CRC) trends, U.S. diagnoses of local-stage disease skyrocketed in this age group from 2019 to 2022 — including a 50% relative increase from 2021 to 2022.

«It is promising news, because the uptick in cases is likely due to first-time screening in the wake of new recommendations for younger, average-risk adults to begin testing for colorectal cancer earlier,» lead author Elizabeth Schafer, an associate scientist and cancer researcher at ACS, commented in a press release.
In 2018, ACS lowered the recommended age for CRC screenings from 50 to 45. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (U..
