Studies are starting to demonstrate how one day we might be able to check the time of our body clock through a simple blood test, and a team at the University of Colorado Boulder has now put forward a promising new technique called "metabolomics."
-
A new study has provided the strongest evidence yet that a daily practice designed to strengthen breathing muscles can lower blood pressure and improve vascular health, just as effectively or perhaps even more so than aerobic exercise.
