Fish oil supplementation improves muscle recovery in aged rats and enhances membrane repair in muscle cells, suggesting potential benefits for aging-related muscle injuries.
 
   Frequent ultra-processed food consumption raises mortality risks, especially in womenFrequent ultra-processed food consumption raises mortality risks, especially in women
 
Ultra-processed food intake is linked to increased all-cause and cause-specific mortality, particularly in females, with metabolomic signatures highlighting the associated risks. This study provides critical evidence on the health dangers of UPFs.
 
   Ultra-processed foods linked to higher blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetesUltra-processed foods linked to higher blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes
 
Consuming more ultra-processed foods -; from diet sodas to packaged crackers to certain cereals and yogurts -; is closely linked with higher blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes, a team of researchers in nutritional sciences, kinesiology and health education at The University of Texas at Austin have found.
