Our health coverage is grounded in peer-reviewed research and written for real life — sleep, nutrition, exercise, and the science behind everyday wellbeing. We name our sources, separate solid evidence from hype, and update guidance as the science evolves. Articles here are general information for education, not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
The RDA is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight — the minimum to avoid deficiency, not an optimal target. Most active adults do better around 1.2–2.0 g/kg depending on age and activity, and older adults benefit from the higher end to preserve muscle. This is general information, not medical advice.
Research shows mental health apps like Headspace, Calm, and Woebot can reduce symptoms of anxiety and mild depression when used consistently. They are most effective as a supplement to — not a replacement for — professional therapy or medication.
AI is being used in healthcare for medical image analysis, drug discovery, patient triage, and personalised treatment recommendations. Notable examples include AI systems that detect cancer in scans earlier than human radiologists.
