Beyond BMI: The Importance of Body Composition Tests in Understanding Health and Wellness
Broke On: Thursday, 30 May 2024Body composition tests using DEXA scans provide detailed information on muscle mass distribution and fat percentage, helping individuals make informed decisions about workout regimes and nutrition plans. These scans also measure bone mineral density, which is crucial for older adults at risk of muscle loss. Advocates argue that focusing on body composition rather than BMI offers a more accurate understanding of overall health and wellness. 
Biking: A Lifetime Habit Linked to Lower Knee Pain and Osteoarthritis Risk
Broke On: Tuesday, 21 May 2024A recent study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise reveals that regular bicycling over a lifetime is associated with lower prevalence of knee pain and osteoarthritis compared to those who never biked. The study, led by Dr. Grace Lo from Baylor College of Medicine, found that each increase in the number of age periods engaged in bicycling resulted in a lower likelihood of reporting knee pain and osteoarthritis. Biking is considered a low-impact exercise that helps build strength around the knee and lubricate joints, reducing the risk of developing osteoarthritis.

Metformin: The Inexpensive, Decades-Old Drug Showing Promise in Extending Lifespan and Improving Health
Broke On: Monday, 22 April 2024Metformin, a decades-old diabetes drug with potential anti-aging effects, is gaining attention for its ability to extend lifespan and prevent age-related diseases like cancer and heart disease. The FDA-approved drug costs less than a dollar a day for many people with insurance coverage and has shown promising results in observational studies. A six-year clinical trial, The TAME Trial, aims to test whether metformin can slow down aging and prevent diseases in healthy older adults. Despite funding challenges due to its generic status, the trial could represent a major breakthrough in preventative medicine.
