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.

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 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.
