‎Emerging research offers compelling insight into how dietary choices impact not just longevity but the quality of life in later years. A groundbreaking study published in Nature Medicine has drawn a strong connection between long-term eating habits and what scientists call “healthy aging”—living free from chronic illness and retaining cognitive, physical, and mental well-being well into your 70s and beyond. ‎ A major study tracked 105,000 adults for 30 years to find which eating habits lead to healthy aging. Three habits stood out—and three hurt your healthspan. ‎ Getty Images ‎ ‎Over a span of three decades, researchers followed more than 105,000 adults between the ages of 39 and 69 through the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study.

‎A new study from Michigan State University confirms that brown rice, widely considered a healthier grain option, contains higher levels of arsenic than white rice—adding to a growing body of scientific evidence that raises health questions about its regular consumption. ‎ ‎ Brown rice has more nutrients—and more arsenic. A new study confirms higher arsenic levels in brown rice vs white, raising questions about long-term risks. Learn how to reduce exposure without ditching rice altogether. ‎Getty Images ‎ ‎Researchers have been tracking arsenic levels in rice for decades. Earlier reports, including a 2008 study focused on rice grown in Southern U.S. states and a 2014 analysis by Consumer Reports, flagged brown rice as a consistent source of elevated arsenic. The difference lies in its anatomy: brown rice retains the bran and germ layers, where arsenic accumulates most readily, whereas white rice has these layers removed. ‎ ‎New findings published in Risk Analysis reaffirm t...
