Scented wax melts are small, highly fragranced wax pieces that release aroma when heated indoors. Unlike traditional candles, they do not burn, making them a cleaner, safer, smoke-free, and supposedly non-toxic alternative. However, a recent study suggests that scented wax melts release high levels of volatile organic compounds comparable to burning candles and even diesel engines. Inhaling these particles has been associated with health risks such as asthma and atherosclerosis.
As we age brain stiffness increases which leads to stem cell dysfunction. New research has demonstrated new ways to reverse this aging process in older stem cells into a younger and healthier state
New findings about how the aging process works may pave the way to better treatments and revolutionary new medications that could immensely improve human health.
Scientists are beginning to understand the very extraordinary and complex biological pathway that connects fat to aging and overall health in humans. A team consisting of biologists from McMaster University are studying worms called C. elegans or nematodes. They have discovered the very delicate balance of too little fat or too much fat and the regulation of lipid production are crucial to healthy living.
