People with multiple sclerosis (MS) may show warning signs long before classic symptoms appear — and mental health concerns could be among the first red flags, according to new research.
A University of British Columbia (UBC) study, published last week in JAMA Network Open, examined the medical records of 2,038 patients with the autoimmune disease and compared them to 10,182 patients without it.
The researchers found that future MS patients had elevated rates of mental health-related issues, psychiatrist and general practice visits, and complaints of vague symptoms such as fatigue and pain — all as early as 15 years before the onset of clear symptoms.
MAKING THESE 11 LIFESTYLE CHANGES COULD WARD OFF ALZHEIMER'S, EXPERT SAYS
«These findings suggest that MS may begin much earlier than previously recognized, with mental health–related issues as early indicators,» the researchers wrote.
MS, which attacks the protective myelin coating around nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, a..

Katie and Dustin Maletich, Oregon parents of four, have gone viral on social media for a parenting moment that’s sparked some debate.
After Dustin’s 9-year-old stepson, Tommy, told his mother to «chill,» he was instructed to do several push-ups and 60 squats as a form of discipline.
The workout was met with a father-son conversation about the tone in which he should be speaking to his mother. Tommy was attentive and apologized to his mom.
STEPDAD PUNISHES BOY'S DISRESPECT WITH PUSHUPS AND SQUATS IN VIRAL VIDEO
Dustin Maletich, who is a corrections officer at a prison, ended the confrontation with an «I love you» and a hug.
While some praised the stepfather for his approach, others were concerned about using physical exercise as a form of punishment.
Dr. Dyan Hes, pediatrician and medical director at Highline Modern Medicine in New York, reacted to this discipline method in an interview with Fox News Digital, calling it a «ridiculous punishment.»
«If you have ever done 60 squats, y..

A Missouri resident has been infected with a rare brain-eating amoeba, possibly linked to water-skiing in the Lake of Ozarks.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) confirmed the infection on Wednesday.
The unidentified adult is hospitalized in an intensive care unit and being treated for primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a deadly infection caused by Naegleria fowleri, commonly known as the brain-eating amoeba.
DEATH CONFIRMED FROM RARE AND DEADLY 'BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA' IN SOUTHERN LAKE
No other cases are suspected in the area at this time, the health agency stated in the press release.
While the source of the patient’s exposure has not been confirmed, the DHSS reported that the patient may have been water-skiing in the days leading up to the illness.
«Recreational water users should assume that Naegleria fowleri is present in warm freshwater across the United States; however, infection remains very rare,» the agency stated.
Naegleria fowleri can ..

Living to see 100 is a major feat that has a common thread.
Recent studies of centenarians – people who are in their 100s – have found that they suffer from fewer diseases overall, develop them more slowly and are less likely to experience fatal conditions compared to people who live shorter lives.
One 2024 study from Sweden, published in the journal GeroScience, considered historical data from people over 60 years old born between 1912 and 1922.
STUDY REVEALS WHY ‘SUPER AGERS’ MAINTAIN ‘OUTSTANDING MEMORY’ INTO THEIR 80S
Researchers followed these individuals from 1972 to 2022, considering the age of their death and also medical complications like stroke, myocardial infarction, hip fracture and various cancers.
Centenarians were found to have a lower age-specific lifetime risk for all conditions except hip fractures, which suggests that 100-year-olds are able to delay and avoid many major age-related diseases rather than surviving them.
The findings challenge the idea that a longer li..

A fitness trend that took TikTok by storm, racking up more than 14 million views, may have some science behind it.
The 12-3-30 treadmill workout, popularized by influencer Lauren Giraldo, promises a fat-burning, low-impact fitness solution: Walk at a 12% incline, at a pace of three miles per hour, for 30 minutes.
But how does it compare to regular running?
FORGET 10,000 STEPS — RESEARCH REVEALS THE REAL NUMBER YOU NEED FOR BETTER HEALTH
A new peer-reviewed study published in the International Journal of Exercise Science compares the 12-3-30 trend to «self-paced» treadmill running.
Researchers sought to determine not just how many calories each method burns, but how the body fuels each workout — specifically, whether the body uses carbohydrates or fat as fuel.
In the study, 16 healthy young adults (male and female) participated in two workouts: one session of 12-3-30 and one session of running at a pace they could maintain for about 20 to 25 minutes.
Both workouts were adjusted to bur..

More Americans than ever are choosing not to drink alcohol, according to a new Gallup Poll.
Only 54% of respondents to Gallup’s annual Consumption Habits survey conducted last month say they consume alcohol, which is the lowest on record in nearly 90 years.
«This coincides with a growing belief among Americans that moderate alcohol consumption is bad for one’s health, now the majority view for the first time,» Gallup said in a press release.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism cites nine body systems impacted by alcohol use.

A man who used ChatGPT for dietary advice ended up poisoning himself — and wound up in the hospital.
The 60-year-old man, who was looking to eliminate table salt from his diet for health reasons, used the large language model (LLM) to get suggestions for what to replace it with, according to a case study published this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
When ChatGPT suggested swapping sodium chloride (table salt) for sodium bromide, the man made the replacement for a three-month period — although, the journal article noted, the recommendation was likely referring to it for other purposes, such as cleaning.
CHATGPT COULD BE SILENTLY REWIRING YOUR BRAIN AS EXPERTS URGE CAUTION FOR LONG-TERM USE
Sodium bromide is a chemical compound that resembles salt, but is toxic for human consumption.
It was once used as an anticonvulsant and sedative, but today is primarily used for cleaning, manufacturing and agricultural purposes, according to the National Institutes of Health.

He then instructed his stepson to do several push-ups, followed by 60 squats.
«Count ‘em,» the man told his stepson calmly, as he moved through the workout. «Keep squatting. All the way down.»
The punishment was followed by a conversation where the stepdad asked, «Do we tell our mom to chill out?»
The boy replied, «No.»
The man responded, «Absolutely not. I will not let you talk to my girl that way … Would I let anyone else talk to her like that? No. So, you don’t get to talk to her like that.»
