😴 Just 3 drops of cypress oil at bedtime were linked to fewer night wakings in women.
In a small home study from Japan, women used 3 drops of Hinoki cypress root oil at bedtime and woke up less often during the night. It was a small study, so it cannot prove cause and effect.
Here is what I tell my patients: a pleasant bedtime aroma can be a lovely part of a calm evening routine, but it works best alongside a dark room, a steady schedule, and a quiet heart. Rest is a gift.
Full breakdown in the reply below.

🔬 Older adults who ate the most Mediterranean-style meals had higher levels of two tiny mitochondrial proteins.
In a USC study, those proteins were tied to heart and brain health. Mitochondria are the power plants inside your cells, so your plate may matter at the microscopic level. This is an association, not proof of cause and effect.
Here is what I tell my patients: build your plate around olive oil, wild fish, vegetables, nuts and berries. It is a simple way to honor the body God gave you.

🚨 Coffee calories in America rose nearly 40%, and sugar is not the main reason.
A new Tufts study found that Americans are not drinking more coffee than before. The top add-in behind the jump appears to be non-dairy creamer, not sugar.
Here is what I tell my patients: read your creamer label the way you would read the label on any processed food. Keep your morning cup simple, and enjoy it slowly.

🚨 More than half of adults who felt perfectly healthy had hidden plaque in their arteries.
A major new study found silent atherosclerosis in 57% of adults with no symptoms, and in some it showed up as early as their 20s. Feeling fine does not always mean your arteries are fine.
Here is what I tell my patients: do not wait for symptoms to start caring for your heart. Daily walking, whole foods, good sleep and an honest talk with your doctor about your numbers are wise first steps. Your body is a temple worth stewarding.
