Exercise variety—not just amount—linked to lower risk of premature mortality - Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A bowl of oatmeal, a sandwich on whole-grain bread and a side of brown rice may do more for your heart and overall health than you think, according to a new study. Eating four to six servings of whole grains each day may offer the greatest benefits for heart health, lowering body weight, cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure, a large meta-analysis published in the European Heart Journal found. The analysis reviewed data from 87 randomized trials involving more than 6,500 people across Asia, Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil. MAN SAYS MEAT-ONLY 'LION DIET' CLEARED PSORIASIS COVERING 90% OF HIS BODY, ENDED DECADES OF DEPRESSIONIt found that many of the greatest benefits occurred when people ate about 60 to 100 grams of whole grains daily — about what you would get from a bowl of oatmeal, two slices of whole-grain bread and a serving of brown rice, according to the researchers.

A DETAILED understanding of pelvic anatomy underpins safe gynaecological surgery, but developing advanced surgical skills requires opportunities to move beyond simulation. At the University of Leeds, UK, the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) brought together senior trainees and consultant gynaecologists for hands-on cadaveric dissection and robotic simulation. This feature explores the course’s practical lessons, the expertise behind its delivery, and the generosity of body donors who make this training possible. Minimally invasive gynaecological surgery continues to evolve rapidly, with increasing complexity in the management of endometriosis, gynaecological malignancies, and benign pelvic disease. While simulation has transformed surgical education, many advanced procedures still require an understanding of anatomical planes and tissue handling that can only be fully appreciated through cadaveric dissection.
