Is a Holistic Doctor a Real Doctor? Naturopathic Doctor vs MD
“Holistic” is an approach, not a license. Here is how a licensed naturopathic doctor compares with an MD or DO, and how to check credentials.
Senescent Cells and Aging: What Senolytic and Exercise Studies Show
Senescent cells build up with age and release inflammatory signals. Here is what early senolytic studies and a 12-week exercise study found, and what they did not show.
Is Glycine Good for Sleep?
Glycine is a simple amino acid that has been studied as part of evening routines. In a 2007 study, people who took 3 grams of glycine before bed reported better subjective sleep quality and less daytime sleepiness than with placebo. The research is small, so glycine is best seen as one option to discuss alongside good sleep habits.
Do Zinc Lozenges Work for Colds?
Research on zinc lozenges is more encouraging than for many cold products. A 2017 meta-analysis of seven placebo-controlled trials found that colds were about a third shorter on average in people who used zinc lozenges providing more than 75 mg of zinc a day. Starting them early and using them only for a short time is what the studies looked at.
Does Magnesium Help With Sleep?
Magnesium is one of the most popular supplements in evening routines, and some research supports looking at it. In a small 2012 trial in older adults with insomnia, those who took magnesium reported longer sleep time and less trouble falling asleep compared with placebo. The research is still limited, so it is best seen as one part of a broader sleep routine.
Do I Need a Multivitamin, or Can I Get Everything From Food?
Many people can meet most of their needs from a varied diet, and the NIH says multivitamins cannot replace healthy eating. A multivitamin can help fill gaps for people who eat a limited diet, follow a vegan pattern, have a poor appetite, or are planning a pregnancy. Whether one fits you depends on your diet, life stage, and health history.
