Health Alert: Microplastics Linked to Impaired Bone Health.
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that enter the body through the respiratory and digestive systems, which can stimulate an inflammatory response that may elevate the risk of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic lung disease. According to a recent literature review, microplastic accumulation in the body may also weaken bone structure, interfere with skeletal growth, and raise fracture risk.

Diet: Milk-Derived Molecule Benefits Gut.
Casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) is a molecule derived from milk proteins that has been shown to enhance digestive health by stimulating mucus production in the gut, bolstering intestinal barrier integrity, and promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium. Recent research suggests that CGMP can exert these protective effects even under conditions of a low-fiber or otherwise unhealthy diet.

Exercise: Aerobic Training Effective for Managing Cerebellar Ataxias.
Cerebellar ataxias are a group of neurological disorders characterized by impaired coordination, balance, and speech resulting from damage or dysfunction of the cerebellum. A recent clinical trial found that home-based aerobic training may improve symptoms better than traditional balance exercises.

Chiropractic: Sitting with Low Back Pain.
Biomechanical assessments have shown that sitting in a more forward position with a slight anterior (forward) seat tilt can reduce stress on the sacroiliac joints and intervertebral disks, helping to make sitting a more comfortable experience for individuals with lower back pain.

Mental Attitude: Autoimmune Diseases Influence Dementia Risk.
Using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, researchers found that individuals with a history of autoimmune disease—particularly Behcet disease, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus—had about a 20% higher risk of developing dementia later in life.

Wellness/Prevention: Dogs May Protect Against Childhood Asthma.
New research suggests that babies raised in homes with higher exposure to dog allergens had better lung function at age five and a 48% lower risk of developing asthma compared to their peers without dogs. The researchers propose that early-life exposure to dog allergens may reduce allergic sensitization, train the immune system to respond to environmental triggers less aggressively, or alter the composition of the upper respiratory microbiome in ways that protect against asthma.
