Watch nowEndurance athletes often look for ways to increase cardiorespiratory fitness beyond what exercise alone can provide, yet many proven methods are expensive and require major logistical demands. In a new study, researchers tested whether hot baths offer a simpler approach to stimulate cardiovascular adaptations. The study enrolled 10 well-trained endurance runners with an average maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max, the highest rate of oxygen use during intense exercise) of about 64 milliliters per kilogram per minute. Each runner completed two five-week blocks: one with hot water immersion and ... exercise heat stress

Sulforaphane exerts its therapeutic effects t... sulforaphane cancer behavior supplements brain breast cancer inflammation autism antioxidant
Read more[toc position='left'] Background Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient, widely recognized for its antioxidant properties. These properties arise from its potent redox potential due to its capacity to donate electrons to oxidized molecules. Even in small quantities vitamin C can protect critical molecules in the body such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by reactive oxygen species, which are generated during normal metabolism, by active immune cells, and through exposure to toxins and pollutants (e.g., certain chemotherap... cancer nutrition exercise interesting
