New study links Vitamin D deficiency to increased Alzheimer’s risk
Studies show that 29% of U.S. adults are clinically deficient in vitamin D (?20 ng/mL) and those with low levels face significantly higher risks of Alzheimer’s and dementia—up to 125% increased risk in severe cases. Indoor work, sunscreen use and seasonal sunlight variability make natural vitamin D synthesis unreliable. Dietary sources (e.g., fatty fish) also […]

Could combining melatonin and ashwagandha improve sleep and reduce stress? Experts weigh in
Melatonin helps regulate sleep cycles, particularly for insomnia and jet lag. Ashwagandha reduces stress and cortisol levels, indirectly improving sleep quality. No conclusive scientific proof that combining melatonin and ashwagandha enhances effects beyond taking them separately. Ashwagandha may be unsafe for those with autoimmune disorders, thyroid issues or certain medications (e.g., diabetes, blood pressure drugs). […]

Best food sources: beef liver, eggs, salmon, sunflower seeds and sweet potatoes. Nearly 41% of people have insufficient vitamin D, which slows follicle cycling and increases shedding. Experts recommend 5,000 […]

Despite food abundance, 25% of the global population suffers from mineral deficiencies due to soil depletion, processed foods and poor absorption. Essential minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, etc.) are vanishing from diets, fueling chronic diseases and metabolic dysfunction. Modern farming prioritizes yield over nutrition, causing 27% drop in calcium and 37% drop in iron in […]
