Jejum intermitente: o que os influenciadores não te contam
A cada poucos meses, ao que parece, surge uma nova rodada de debates sobre os benefícios do jejum intermitente. Essa dieta popular, que pode assumir diferentes formas, envolve jejuar em determinados dias da semana ou restringir a alimentação a certas horas do dia. O jejum intermitente ganhou fama de facilitar a perda de peso em comparação com a redução convencional de calorias.
Jejum intermitente: o que os influenciadores não te contam
Resumo Embora popular nas redes, o jejum intermitente não apresenta em humanos os mesmos efeitos milagrosos vistos em animais. Estudos mostram benefícios metabólicos e perda de peso similares a outras dietas, mas os resultados clínicos são inconsistentes. O maior desafio científico é a imprecisão dos relatos dos participantes sobre o que comem. Para obter dados confiáveis, cientistas desenvolvem novas tecnologias de monitoramento, como sensores e biomarcadores, visando superar essas falhas.

Have the benefits of intermittent fasting been overhyped? Original
By Sally Adee14th August 2026 Proving that intermittent fasting works, like any lifestyle intervention, is notoriously difficult.

How to know if your pet has allergies Original
By Sally Adee7th June 2026 Cats and dogs can be allergic to pollen, but getting a diagnosis is a lengthy process. Y You've been sneezing all week and your eyes are streaming. It's allergy season. But you're not the only one who's suffering. Your pet has been unusually itchy lately – scratching all night, keeping you awake, eyes teary and gummed up. They seem as miserable as you are. Could your cat or dog also be struggling with the pollen?

Does intermittent fasting live up to the hype?
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... By Sally Adee For The New York Times In 2013, a British journalist and a doctor introduced an obscure dietary protocol to the wider culture. The idea was simple: Two days a week, eat almost nothing — fewer than 600 calories. The rest of the time, eat normally. The writers, Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer, claimed “The Fast Diet” could help you shed fat, reverse Type 2 diabetes and stave off age-related diseases of mind and body.

New Parkinson’s Implant Listens to Brain Waves to Treat Symptoms
Keith Krehbiel lived with Parkinson’s disease for nearly 25 years before agreeing to try a brain implant that might alleviate his symptoms. He had long been reluctant to submit to the surgery. “It was a big move,” he says. But by 2020, his symptoms had become so severe that he grudgingly agreed to go ahead. Deep-brain stimulation involves inserting thin wires through two small holes in the skull into a region of the brain associated with movement.

Cyborg tadpoles are helping us learn how brain development starts
How does our brain, which is capable of generating complex thought, actions and even self-reflection, grow out of essentially nothing? An experiment in tadpoles, where an electronic implant was incorporated into a precursor of their brain at the earliest embryonic stage, may have edged us closer to answering this question. Past attempts to peer into neurodevelopmental processes relied on tools like functional magnetic resonance imaging or hard electrode wires stuck into the brain.

Electric Fields Can Deter Devastating Crop Parasites
Imagine you’re a baby cocoa plant, just unfurling your first tentative roots into the fertile, welcoming soil. Somewhere nearby, a predator stirs. It has no ears to hear you, no eyes to see you. But it knows where you are, thanks in part to the weak electric field emitted by your roots. It is microscopic, but it’s not alone. By the thousands, the creatures converge, slithering through the waterlogged soil, propelled by their flagella.
Dean Kamen: Invention and Innovation Are Different Things
Over the past 20 years, technological advances have enabled inventors to go from strength to strength. And yet, according to the legendary inventor Dean Kamen, innovation has stalled. Kamen made a name for himself with inventions including the first portable insulin pump for diabetics, an advanced wheelchair that can climb steps, and the Segway mobility device. Here, he talks about his plan for enabling innovators. How has inventing changed since you started in the 1990s?
「電子薬」がやってくる—— 医薬品を電気に置き換える 革新的技術の現在

Galvani, Volta y la electrizante historia de la batalla por la electricidad
Desde los albores de la humanidad, el misterio de la electricidad ha fascinado e intrigado a mentes curiosas. En el siglo XVIII, dos gigantes de la ciencia, Luigi Galvani y Alessandro Volta, se enfrentaron en un épico debate que cambiaría para siempre nuestra comprensión de la bioelectricidad. Galvani, un anatomista y fisiólogo, descubrió que las patas de las ranas muertas se contraían al ser tocadas por un bisturí durante una tormenta eléctrica.

The messy quest to replace drugs with electricity
In the early 2010s, electricity seemed poised for a hostile takeover of your doctor’s office. Research into how the nervous system controls the immune response was gaining traction. And that had opened the door to the possibility of hacking into the body’s circuitry and thereby controlling a host of chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and diabetes, as if the immune system were as reprogrammable as a computer.
The internet and the overmind
When the internet was young, David Bowie was asked by a skeptical journalist whether it would ever have any real impact on the world. Wasn’t it just a fad whose transformative potential artists were exaggerating in a bid to stay relevant with the youths? It was 1999, and while this stance is easy to mock today, you might spare a little sympathy for the journalist. Jeremy Paxman was a heavy-hitting British national treasure.
