Elevated blood pressure is associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. A new study has found regularly fitting in relatively intense physical exercise could help preserve your faculties.



					
			

The research was put together by an international team of researchers using an existing dataset covering 9,361 US adults. The participants were all aged over 50 and non-diabetic, with hypertension and a high risk of cardiovascular disease.

New research finds that multivitamins won't help extend your life, although evidence from other studies suggests they may have some health benefits that help people live better in their older years.
Researchers at the US National Institute of Health (NIH) pooled data from three large studies surveying more than 390,000 adults about their diet and health to look at multivitamin use and health...

Multivitamins Won't Help You Live Longer, Massive Study Finds

Somewhere, out there, lurking in the Universe, is a whole bunch of matter we haven't been able to find. And it's not a trivial amount, either. Roughly 70 to 80 percent of all mass is considered to be the mysterious stuff known as dark matter. Normal matter makes up the minority. That's everything we can detect – all the stars, planets, black holes, dust, gas, moons, people.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

The color yellow is gorgeous, eye-catching, and downright happy for most people. So much so that it's the main hue in the world-famous happy face—but science says it's not the best color to wear on a date.

 Saturn has its famous hexagon, and  Jupiter has just now been caught throwing mad shapes too.
High up in its atmosphere, astronomers have identified strange, glowing new features, in the region above the tempestuous Great Red Spot.



					
			

There, in the ionosphere, concentrations of ionized hydrogen cause a near-infrared glow in arcs, bands, and spots that suggest the wild planet is far wilder than we even suspected.
"We thought this region, perhaps naively, would be really boring," says planetary scientist Henrik Melin of the University of Leicester in the UK. "It is in fact just as interesting as the northern lights, if...

Cash has served us well for over 3,000 years – with shells the forerunners to coins and notes – but we're now seeing a definite shift to electronic payments in developed nations.



					
			

According to a new study, cashless payments are making us spend more than before, too.
A team from the University of Adelaide and the University of Melbourne in Australia conducted a  meta-analysis of 71 previously published papers, looking at spending habits across 17 different countries.
It seems that tapping a phone or card on a terminal leads to us being less strict with our budget, compared to picking notes or...

An inescapable form of human pollution is seeping into our bodies in ways we never fully realized.

There's a new contender for the worst tipple handed down to us by history. In the ancient Roman necropolis of Carmo in what is now Spain, archaeologists have unearthed a jar of wine, still sealed, and still sloshing liquid after about 2,000 years. There's just one catch. The wine was...

Every now and again, serendipity gives us a unique window into times long past.
An explosive volcanic eruption that took place in prehistory is one of them. As the ash from a pyroclastic flow during the Cambrian age was dumped on a shallow marine environment, its population of ancient arthropods called trilobites were preserved almost instantly – including any soft tissues that are normally degraded or destroyed during other fossilization processes.



					
			

Now, hundreds of millions of years later, those unfortunate animals have given us an unprecedented record of their three-dimensional anatomy, along with any smaller creatures that happened to be clinging to...

Using cannabis raises the risk of teenagers developing a psychotic disorder by a staggering 11 times compared to teens who didn't report using the drug, a Canadian study has found.



					
			

That's a much stronger association than what previous studies have reported. A 2016 analysis of data from 10 different studies found the heaviest cannabis users were about four times more likely than non-users to be diagnosed with  schizophrenia or another psychotic condition.
Part of the reason, aside from cannabis users' age, is that much of the data used in past analyses of adolescent cannabis use comes from before 2000, when cannabis...
