There are
lots of things you can do to keep your brain healthy as you age, and many of them overlap with the habits that keep your body in tip-top shape overall.
You know the drill: Get plenty of exercise (even if you’re just power walking!); prioritize good quality sleep; go easy on the alcohol and ditch smoking; keep your social life popping; and eat a diet full of whole grains and lots of vibrant produce.
But as straightforward as that sounds, there are still a lot of misconceptions out there. Ahead, we take a closer look at the biggest brain health myths, because the truth about your gray matter is not so black-and-white.
New study finds a stark decrease in the number of abdominal surgeries among older adults
Many have assumed that the rates of major abdominal surgeries in adults over 65 is increasing over time as the U.S. population ages and as new technology renders surgical procedures safer for older adults. Contrary to this popular belief, a new study from the University of Chicago Medicine found the frequency of abdominal surgery in older adults is decreasing, especially among adults over the age of 85. The study, which examined data from 2002 to 2014, was published May 10 in the

A new study from the University of Chicago has found that the photosynthetic bacterium Synechococcus elongatus uses a circadian clock to precisely time DNA replication, and that interrupting this circadian rhythm prevents replication from completing and leaves chromosomes unfinished overnight.

Circadian rhythms are the internal 24-hour clock possessed by most organisms on earth, regulating a diversity of biological functions including sleep/wake cycles, hormone production, digestion and body temperature. In humans, disruptions to the circadian rhythm such as working a shift-work job or experiencing frequent jet lag have been associated with an array of health problems, including obesity, cardiovascular and immune dysfunction, mood disorders and even canc
