Boost your mood with a dopamine workout

Banasree SarkarHealth

A dopamine workout is a physical activity that stimulates the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for motivation, pleasure, and focus. Exercise, particularly those with intensity, rhythm, or novelty, can improve mood, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity. Regular movement supports brain chemistry and regulates other feel-good hormones like serotonin and endorphins, making exercise a powerful tool for emotional well-being and motivation. HIIT workouts involve short, intense workouts followed by recovery periods, which boost dopamine and mood-boosting neurochemicals. Running, jogging, rhythmic movement with music, and dancing are all proven methods to boost dopamine levels, improving focus, energy, and emotional balance.…

Mithun RoyHealth

A first-of-its-kind clinical trial is offering new hope to millions of people living with advanced dry macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of permanent vision loss among adults over 60. Researchers have successfully transplanted adult retinal stem cells into patients, with early results indicating measurable improvements in vision and no major safety concerns. The trial, published in Cell Stem Cell, involved a phase 1/2a study where scientists used retinal pigment epithelial stem cells derived from adult postmortem eye tissue. These cells were transplanted into the eyes of patients with severe AMD, a condition that damages the macula—the central part…

The surprising health benefits of an early dinner

Banasree SarkarHealth

New scientific findings suggest that when you eat dinner may be just as important as what you eat. Recent research highlights that having your evening meal earlier—ideally between 5 and 7 PM, or at least 2–3 hours before bedtime—can significantly improve digestion, metabolic health, sleep quality, and even reduce the risk of heart disease. Why Timing Matters:Our bodies run on an internal clock known as the circadian rhythm, which governs everything from hormone release to digestion. Eating in sync with this rhythm optimizes how food is processed. In contrast, late-night meals—particularly those consumed after 9 PM—have been shown to disrupt…
