Exercise May Protect DNA, Reduce Heart Disease Risk
One of the top reasons we have health issues as we age is due to DNA damage. Now, a new study has found that exercise may help to protect your DNA, including the cells that line the blood vessels, which may help to reduce the risk of heart disease.
A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Utah's Department of Internal Medicine focused on 15 male mice over four weeks. The mice were placed in a cage with a running wheel and their daily running distances were categorized as high, moderate, or low.
After four weeks, tissue samples were taken from the aortas of the mice, which is the artery that transports blood from the heart to the circulatory system. The researchers specifically examined the endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls, assessing DNA damage and how well the telomeres (the protective “end caps” of the DNA) were functioning.
The results revealed that mice who engaged in more physical activity had lower levels of DNA damage and better-functioning telomeres within the endothelial cells. However, this effect was not observed in the vascular smooth muscle cells. Essentially, the study found that the mice who exercised the most showed the most favorable outcomes, shedding light on the potential benefits of exercise in protecting DNA and reducing the risk of heart disease.
Dental Health May Affect Colorectal Cancer Risk
Research suggests the state of one's mouth could influence the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer. Studies have found correlations between poor oral health, including gum disease and tooth loss, and an increased risk of colorectal cancer.
This association is thought to be linked to the presence of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which can enter the bloodstream and potentially contribute to inflammation and other processes associated with cancer development. Plus, researchers have identified specific bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, that are present in both gum disease and colorectal tumors.
These findings suggest a potential direct link between oral bacteria and colorectal cancer. Plus, individuals with certain genetic variations related to immune function may be more susceptible to the harmful effects of oral bacteria, further increasing their risk of colorectal cancer.
Improving oral hygiene and maintaining good dental health habits may help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups can help prevent gum disease and reduce the levels of harmful bacteria in the mouth. Plus, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with avoiding tobacco use, can contribute to overall health and potentially lower the risk of colorectal cancer.

8 Tips for Exercising When You Don’t Feel Like It

Intrinsic motivation, driven by the enjoyment of the activity itself rather than external rewards, is crucial for sustaining long-term exercise habits. When you don’t feel like working out, start with something easy (even tying your shoes!), give yourself a guilt-free day off, and focus on the immediate payoffs–like more energy and an improved mood.

Alcohol and Your Teeth: Protect Them While Drinking
You know drinking alcohol can affect your heart, immune system, and memory, and even raise your cancer risk. But did you know it can also affect your teeth? According to a cosmetic dentist, alcohol can cause dry mouth by reducing saliva, which makes your mouth more acidic and can set the stage for dental decay. For your teeth and overall health, experts advise “drinking mindfully” and following it up with good dental hygiene. (More)

Your Skincare Routine May Be Making You Look Older
Retinol is a lab-made chemical derivative of vitamin A, and it’s one of the hottest ingredients in skincare right now.
But this trendy new chemical also has serious drawbacks that may actually CAUSE premature signs of aging.
