Creatine Supplementation Shows Promise for Muscle and Strength Retention in Middle-Aged Adults

Creatine Supplementation Shows Promise for Muscle and Strength Retention in Middle-Aged Adults

A 12-week study involving 64 healthy adults aged 45 to 65 investigated the effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation on body composition and strength. Participants were divided into groups receiving either 10 grams of creatine monohydrate or a placebo daily, with some also engaging in an exercise-and-calorie-deficit program. The study found that creatine users in the non-exercise group gained approximately 2.4 pounds of lean tissue and improved leg press and bench press strength. The most significant benefits were observed in participants who combined creatine with aerobic and resistance exercise three times weekly and a modest calorie deficit, gaining nearly three pounds of lean tissue while losing fat mass. This research suggests that creatine's benefits may extend beyond athletes, offering a strategy for preserving lean tissue as individuals age, even for those not participating in structured training programs, according to ProHealth.com.

MIND Diet Improves Antioxidant Defenses and Mood in Diabetic Women with Insomnia

MIND Diet Improves Antioxidant Defenses and Mood in Diabetic Women with Insomnia

A recent randomized controlled trial conducted in Iran has demonstrated that a modified, calorie-restricted version of the MIND diet can significantly enhance antioxidant defenses and improve daily energy and emotional well-being in women with type 2 diabetes and insomnia symptoms. The study, published in BMC Endocrine Disorders, involved 44 women diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, reporting insomnia, and classified as overweight or obese. Participants were divided into two groups: one followed a standard low-calorie diet, while the other adhered to a modified MIND low-calorie diet. Over a twelve-week period, researchers observed significant increases in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the group following the modified MIND diet, indicating strengthened internal antioxidant defenses. Furthermore, this group reported feeling more energetic and emotionally stable compared to the control group, as measured by the SF-36 questionnaire. The MIND diet, a hybrid of the Mediterranean ...

Postpartum GLP-1 Prescriptions Surge Nearly 24-Fold Among Privately Insured New Mothers, Raising Safety Concerns

Postpartum GLP-1 Prescriptions Surge Nearly 24-Fold Among Privately Insured New Mothers, Raising Safety Concerns

A recent study published in JAMA reveals a significant increase in GLP-1 medication prescriptions among privately insured new mothers in the United States. The share of women initiating GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic or Zepbound, within six months of delivery rose from 0.08% in the first half of 2018 to 1.9% in the first quarter of 2025, marking a nearly 24-fold increase. This analysis, led by Sih-Ting Cai of the Schaeffer Center and co-authors from Indiana University, reviewed insurance claims covering over one million births. The steepest rise was observed in women with type 2 diabetes, with prescriptions climbing from 2.3% to 16.9% by early 2025. Women with a history of gestational diabetes also saw an increase from 0.4% to 2.7%, while those with diagnosed obesity or overweight experienced the fastest relative growth, from 0.4% to 3.9%. The study notes that most women started these medications at least three months postpartum, and patients are advised to discontinue GLP-1 drugs during pregnancy.
