Researchers are testing whether traditional Indian practices can help people handle low-oxygen environments better.

Researchers have discovered a new biological marker that could change how schizophrenia is treated. The marker is a protein named CACNA2D1 found in the fluid around the brain. People with schizophrenia have lower levels of this protein, which may make their brain signals overactive and cause thinkin
Research suggests that adding just a few extra minutes of walking and sleep each day might lower heart disease risk, even if the evidence isn’t rock solid. Experts looked at population data and estimated that 4. 5 more minutes of moderate walking and 11 extra minutes of sleep daily could improve hea
