Microbe-rich foods, high folate levels help alleviate fatigue in ageing adults

22 Mar 2026

Eating microbe-rich foods and high circulating concentrations of bioactive folate are associated with lower fatigue in middle aged and older adults, with folate sufficiency seemingly augmenting the fatigue-reducing effects of live-microbe foods, according to a study.

Protein-, energy-packed foods may improve nutrient intake in hospitalized adults

22 Mar 2026

Energy and protein intake is modest among hospitalized adult patients, reports a study, noting that higher relative energy and protein content of foods may lead to greater consumption despite similar or smaller portions.

Daily step dose for weight wellness

22 Mar 2026

Walking remains one of the most accessible and evidence-based interventions in preventive and lifestyle medicine. While the cultural popularity of the “10,000 steps” target persists, current research shows that meaningful improvements in health appear at substantially lower step volumes, especially when steps are accumulated with adequate intensity. This refined perspective is critical in the context of persistently high prevalence worldwide, with 43% of adults overweight and 16% living with obesity in 2022 (WHO, 2025). The Philippines mirrors this trajectory, with nearly four in ten adults affected by overweight or obesity, particularly among women and urban residents, highlighting obesity as an increasing public health concern (FNRI, 2024). Recognized as a metabolic disease characterized by chronic low‑grade inflammation, adipokine dysregulation, and increased cardiometabolic risk, obesity may be positively influenced by regular walking through its broad metabolic and anti‑inflammatory effects.

Depression not a risk factor for mortality in CVD, study says

22 Mar 2026

Recent research indicates that depression does not contribute to increased mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and that the observed association is largely attributable to coexisting risk factors and comorbidities.

Novel antisense oligonucleotide shows disease-modifying potential in Dravet syndrome

21 Mar 2026 by

In children with Dravet syndrome, treatment with the investigational antisense oligonucleotide zorevunersen appears safe and efficacious, with seizure frequency reductions of up to 90 percent and improvements in nonseizure symptoms, according to two phase 1–2a studies (MONARCH and ADMIRAL) and the corresponding open-label extension studies (SWALLOWTAIL and LONGWING).
