Researchers found that testosterone gel combined with exercise could help older women reduce the type of belly fat most closely linked to diabetes and heart disease. The research followed 66 women over age 65 who were recovering from hip fractures. Hip fractures are a serious concern…
If you’re among the millions of Americans reaching for cannabis to ease anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a recent study suggests you might want to reconsider.

The result is a growing gap between how workers feel…
