Scientists Defeat HIV
Scientists have managed to develop a drug that provides 100% protection against the virus. The results of the drug Lenacapavir were so convincing that the commission halted trials to make the injections available to those in need faster. Of the 2136 women who received the first injections, not a single one was infected. The downside is that for 100% protection, two injections per year are needed, each costing $21,125. But scientists hope to solve the issue of price as well.

Dementia: An Explanation of Causes and Risks
Dementia is a term used to describe several diseases that negatively impact memory, thinking, and the ability to perform daily activities. Dementia progresses over time. It primarily affects older people, but not everyone develops dementia as they age. Factors that increase the risk of developing dementia include: age (dementia is more common among those aged 65 and older); high blood pressure (hypertension); high blood sugar levels (diabetes); overweight or obesity; smoking; excessive alcohol consumption; lack of physical activity; social isolation; depression.
The Best Anti-Aging Products
The best anti-aging products include: avocado, blueberries, eggs, gelatin, onions and garlic, broccoli, spinach and greens, pine nuts, soy and other legumes, green tea, honey.
Anti-Aging Nutrition
The rules for the anti-aging menu are quite simple: daily diet should include at least 400 grams of fruits and vegetables; the basis of the diet should be plant-based food: legumes, grains, vegetables; dairy products should be consumed daily; fats should preferably be plant-based; the amount of sweets and red meat should be minimized. These products should not be consumed daily. Since one of the problems of aging is sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), daily consumption of protein sources (fish, eggs, meat) is necessary. Anti-aging recipes will include a large amount of vegetables and fruits. Preference should be given to fresh greens rather than heat-treated or canned ones. The most common cooking methods in the anti-aging menu are boiling, baking, and steaming. Caution should be exercised when grinding food in a blender to a uniform consistency. Despite some advantages, this processing increases the absorption of sugars.

Scientists Discover Cure for Late-Stage Prostate Cancer
Scientists have learned to treat late-stage prostate cancer – in 85% of cases, the tumor either completely disappeared or significantly reduced in size. The miracle drug proved to be so effective that American regulators immediately initiated an accelerated approval procedure. For comparison, standard treatment helps only 20-40% of patients and very rarely leads to a complete cure.

Doctors Advise More Rest in Extreme Heat
Doctors advise more rest in extreme heat. Temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius are too extreme for the human body, so it needs more rest. Avoid physical exertion and coffee, and drink more water instead.
Remote controlled robot tablet
A remotely controlled robotic capsule has been developed in the USA, making endoscopy faster and easier. The device is equipped with a camera, lighting, and motors that allow it to be directed by a physician to the desired location. After the procedure, the capsule naturally leaves your body. Sales are expected to begin in 2026 at a price of approximately $50. Today, examinations with a similar but uncontrolled video capsule cost around $1000.

Scientists Develop Breakthrough Drug for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Scientists have created a drug that induces self-destruction of cancer cells. In Hong Kong, researchers have developed a drug for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. It destroys mutating cells and interacts with immune cells to enhance their fighting capabilities. The invention has shown promising results during trials on mice. Developers note that the drug surpasses its counterparts as it minimizes the consequences for healthy cells. The drug specifically targets cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, which is linked to the formation of nasopharyngeal tumors. Another risk factor is smoking.

The Dangers of Pyramid Tea Bags and Plastic Contamination
Tea in pyramid tea bags can lead to the development of cancer, warns a surgeon. When brewing pyramid-shaped bags, nanoparticles from the bag enter the body, and with regular consumption, the accumulation of these particles can cause tissue inflammation. Plastic induces mutations in cells, which can eventually lead to oncogenesis. The surgeon advises against drinking such teas whenever possible and recommends using loose leaf teas instead.

The Link Between Mental Health and Cheese Consumption
Scientists have discovered a connection between strong mental health and cheese consumption. A large-scale study (2.3 million people) has shown that cheese lovers have noticeably better overall well-being. To be precise, cheese improves the body's condition by 3.67%. Fruits, for example, improve it by 1.96%, while watching TV worsens it by 7.39%.
