New research from the University of Jyväskylä’s Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences has found that exercise and healthy eating significantly reduce inflammation in postmenopausal women. The study highlights the critical role of maintaining healthy behaviors to combat metabolic low-grade inflammation, a condition that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, which become more prevalent after menopause.

A new study from Western New England University (WNE) has revealed that regular grape consumption could positively impact muscle health, especially during aging. Published in the journal Foods, the research tracked 480 mice over a two-and-a-half-year period, examining how grapes influenced muscle gene expression at a fundamental level. Funded partially by the California Table Grape Commission, the findings suggest that adding grapes to our daily diet might help support muscle health, particularly in aging populations.
