Cooking Just Once a Week May Help Lower Dementia Risk

Yes, Chef: Cooking at home is a good way to save money, eat fewer calories, and have more control over what you’re consuming. But new research has pointed to another potential health benefit of even just one home-cooked meal per week: lowered risk of dementia for older adults.

The Study: Researchers analyzed questionnaire responses from 10,978 adults aged 65 and older enrolled in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study and tracked dementia diagnoses over the following six years. Nearly 1,200 of them had developed dementia, but male and female participants who cooked meals from scratch had a 23% and 27% reduced risk of the disease, respectively.

The Takeaway: Even novice chefs cooking simple meals experienced benefits. Cooking at home was associated with an up to 67% lowered risk of dementia for adults who were less skilled at cooking. Learning new skills combined with the prepping, chopping, and measuring ingredients stimulated the brain in addition to improving diet, according to the researchers.

Keep in Mind: The study was observational, so it didn’t prove that cooking prevents dementia. Previous research indicates modifiable lifestyle habits, like diet, physical activity, and mental stimulation, can impact dementia risk.

Spring Nights, Smoother Mornings

Warmer evenings tend to bring more dinners outside, backyard gatherings, and that extra glass of wine that stretches the night a little longer. But much of the next-day sluggishness people blame on alcohol actually comes from acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct your body produces when it breaks down alcohol.

Zbiotics Pre-Alcohol takes a science-first approach. It’s a genetically engineered probiotic designed to break down acetaldehyde in the gut. Drink one small bottle before your first alcoholic beverage, and it works while you’re out enjoying the night. Right now, you can use code ALLHEALTHY for 15% off.

Braces Are the New Filler — At Least According to TikTok

The Trend: “Facial balancing” is the latest trend in the beauty world. It’s the idea that a combination of subtle cosmetic tweaks can even out symmetry — and recently, braces have emerged as a go-to tool. TikTok creators are posting before-and-afters showing how aligners and braces reshaped their jawlines and profiles without filler or Botox. Of course, orthodontists already knew this — realigning your bite can expand a narrow arch, improve lip support, and smooth asymmetries that fillers can’t fake.

What People Are Saying: Filler sales have been declining. For example, Juvéderm’s revenue was down over 16% in 2024 — and the aesthetics market is moving toward a less-is-more approach. Dentists say orthodontics have always shifted facial structure — TikTok just made people notice. However, some providers are warning that braces are a medical treatment, and when it's all about looks, that’s closer to misuse than medicine.

What to Know: If you’re curious, talk to an orthodontist instead of consulting your TikTok algorithm. Aligners and braces can definitely adjust your profile, but the results are gradual (taking 12 to 24 months) and depend on your anatomy. Add retainers on top of that to maintain the effect, and you’re looking at a pretty long game.

What’s Actually Happening Inside a Marathon Runner’s Body

You Should Know: Spring marathon season is here. If you've ever watched someone cross a finish line looking simultaneously triumphant and completely destroyed after running 26.2 miles, there's a legit physiological reason for that. Running for that long puts your entire body through an acute stress test and demands more of it than almost any other activity. Your heart rate climbs dramatically, and cardiac output can increase by as much as eight times.

Going Deeper: Things get weirder inside your body as the miles accumulate. Blood flow gets redirected away from the gut by as much as 80%, which explains why GI distress is so common on race day. Around miles 18 to 20, most runners exhaust their glycogen stores and hit the infamous wall, forcing the body to switch to fat as fuel, which is a slower process that tends to affect your pace.

Takeaway: Post-race soreness, which typically peaks in the 24 to 72 hours after finishing, is the body repairing the microscopic muscle damage caused by tens of thousands of steps. So all that soreness is part of the recovery process.

Bottom Line: Running a marathon is a full-body physiological event, and the recovery is part of the experience.

NOT THAT

This: 2-minute breathing break
Not That: Stress scrolling

When work stress hits, it’s tempting to reach for your phone — but scrolling can actually increase stress and stifle creativity. Just a couple minutes of slow breathing downshifts your nervous system, leaving you refreshed and more productive when it's time to dive back in.

HEALTHY HABIT

The Morning Air Minute

Step outside within an hour of waking and stay there for one full minute, even if that’s all you’ve got. Morning light and fresh air help cue the body clock and can support alertness early in the day. Keep it tiny enough that it still happens on busy mornings.
