Research developments in Alzheimer’s disease, including newly approved blood tests for early detection, have helped patients get diagnosed sooner.

FIRST BLOOD TEST FOR ALZHEIMER'S DIAGNOSIS CLEARED BY FDA
«Alzheimer's starts in your brain decades before you have any symptoms,» he said. «So, a 59-year-old woman I diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease likely had negative changes in her brain in her 20s.»
He added, «It's really never too early to think about protecting your brain and your mind.»
Amen, author of the book «Preventing Alzheimer’s,» confirmed that half of Alzheimer’s cases are preventable, according to recent findings.

The bird flu emergency is officially over, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The agency’s emergency response to H5N1 bird flu, which was activated on April 4, 2024, was «deactivated» on July 2, the agency told Reuters, citing declining animal infections and an absence of human cases since February.
As of July 7, the CDC will combine its bird flu updates with its routine influenza updates, according to a news release on its website.
NEW OUTBREAK OF DEADLY BIRD FLU STRAIN CONFIRMED FOR FIRST TIME IN 8 YEARS
Data on the number of people who are monitored and tested for bird flu will now be reported on a monthly basis.
The CDC will also stop reporting on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in animals, such as cows. That information will now be posted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) website.
«There is no known person-to-person spread at this time,» the CDC website states. «The current public health risk is low.»

Exercising first thing in the morning can be beneficial for mental and physical health.
In terms of weight loss, previous research suggests that early morning may be the best time to exercise, according to the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
The research, published in the journal Obesity, recorded the activity levels of 5,285 participants, taking into consideration the time of day they exercised.
AFTERNOON NAPPING COULD HAVE SURPRISING IMPACT ON LONGEVITY, STUDY SUGGESTS
Those who consistently engaged in morning activity, between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., were found to have a lower risk of obesity than those who were most active in the midday or evening.
The morning exercisers also had a lower average BMI (body mass index) and waist size.
Certified fitness trainer Alissa Mosca with Planet Fitness in New York agreed that morning workouts are a «great way» to start the day.
«When the day begins with a morning workout routine, the body releases multiple different chemical..

Miley Cyrus has performed for some of the world's biggest audiences — but for years, she quietly battled stage fright behind the scenes.
In a recent interview, the pop icon revealed that a therapy called EMDR was instrumental in curbing her anxiety.
«Love it. Saved my life,» she told The New York Times in May. «I’ve never had stage fright again. Ever.»
SINGLE DOSE OF 'MAGIC MUSHROOMS' PROVIDES 5 YEARS OF DEPRESSION RELIEF, RESEARCHERS FIND
In another recent interview with Vogue, Cyrus said that EMDR felt like watching a movie in her mind — vivid and emotional, but grounding.
Cyrus isn’t the only public figure to try EMDR. Prince Harry has shared in interviews that he uses the therapy to process painful memories connected to his mother’s death.
EMDR — or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing — is an alternative therapy designed to help people process unresolved trauma and emotional pain.
«It is a powerful, research-based method that helps people heal from painful ..

Many people have posted on social media about the so-called «old people smell,» described as a faintly musty or greasy scent sometimes associated with older adults.
This phenomenon is more science than stigma, experts say.
«I think we all know this smell,» Dr. Dan Wesson, professor at the University of Florida College of Medicine, told Fox News Digital.
ALZHEIMER'S RATES HAVE REACHED STAGGERING NUMBER AS EXPERTS CALL FOR CHANGE
«Some describe it as dusty, like an old book. Others as oily or greasy. None of these, of course, are flattering descriptions, and that's why this isn't the kind of smell you want to label a person with,» he noted.
The skin is the largest organ in the body, so it makes sense that it will undergo significant changes as the body ages, according to Wesson.
For most of our lives, body odor stems from sweat, bacteria and dead skin, which can be addressed with basic hygiene. But with aging, changes in skin composition and oil production make smells mor..

Sleeping with wet hair could lead to unexpected problems.
Skin and hair experts agree that going to bed before drying your hair can lead to troublesome scalp issues — and even hidden bacteria in your bedsheets.
Briana Delvecchio, a hairstylist at Ashley Lauren Beauty Lounge in New York, shared in an interview with Fox News Digital that she always advises her clients against sleeping with wet hair for several reasons.
THIS DAILY BEAUTY ROUTINE COULD BE RUINING YOUR HAIR, EXPERTS WARN
When hair is wet, the hydrogen bonds in the strands are temporarily broken, making it more elastic, fragile and prone to breakage, she cautioned.
«Combine that with friction from your pillowcase, and it’s a recipe for split ends, tangles and long-term damage,» Delvecchio said.
The scalp «also takes a hit,» she added, as a damp scalp trapped against a pillow overnight creates a warm, humid environment that’s ideal for fungal growth and bacterial buildup.
«This can trigger scalp irritation or dandruff, or eve..

A new meta-analysis from the University of Washington suggests that no amount of processed food is safe to consume.
Researchers analyzed 77 different studies to gauge the link between certain amounts of these foods and common chronic diseases.
«Habitual consumption of even small amounts of processed meat, sugary drinks and trans fatty acids is linked to increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease and colorectal cancer,» lead study author Demewoz Haile, a research scientist at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, told Fox News Digital.
HOMEMADE VS. PROCESSED FOODS: STUDY CHALLENGES WHAT WE THINK IS HEALTHIER
«There is no safe level of habitual consumption of these food groups, so they should not be included in our daily diet,» he stated.
For processed meats in particular, the researchers concluded that eating as little as 0.6 to 57 grams per day was linked to an 11% greater likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.
