1. Years Of Endurance Exercise Training Remodel Abdominal Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue In Adults With Overweight Or Obesity by Ahn et al. (2024) at Nature. Regular exercisers with overweight or obesity have healthier abdominal fat tissue compared to non-exercisers, showing better blood flow, fewer inflammatory cells, and improved fat storage and energy functions. These changes in fat tissue may help protect against obesity-related health issues and support better heart and metabolic health.
  2. A Review Of Explainable Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare by Sadeghi et al. (2024). This paper provides a systematic review of Explainable Artificial Intelligence in healthcare, exploring its methodologies, challenges, and applications in critical medical fields.
  3. A Systematic Umbrella Review And Meta-meta-analysis Of EHealth And MHealth Interventions For Improving Lifestyle Behaviours by Singh et al. (2024) at Nature. The meta-analysis reviewed data from over 500 trials to examine the effectiveness of digital health tools in improving physical activity, diet, sleep, and reducing sedentary behavior.

  5. Elevation In Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity With Aerobic Fitness Throughout Healthy Human Ageing by Ainslie et al (2008). Researchers studied healthy men aged 18-79 to explore how aerobic fitness affects blood flow to the brain. Half were sedentary, while the other half exercised vigorously more than four times a week. They found age and VO2max to be the two statistically significant predictors of cerebral blood flow velocity. (n=307)
  6. Ultra-processed Foods Cause Weight Gain And Increased Energy Intake Associated With Reduced Chewing Frequency: A Randomized, Open-label, Crossover Study by Hamano et al. (2024). Participants were given the same amount of calories per day of double their calorie requirement, but one diet was exclusively ultra processed, the other not. They found that in the one week study the participants on the ultra processed diet consumer on average 824 kcal more per day, likely connected to faster eating speed.
