Gaining excess body fat and keeping it off after weight loss are related but different problems. The authors describe how inherited susceptibility, development, food environments, and brain regulation interact in obesity. They also examine the body’s…

Omega-3 and omega-6 fats are not single substances with one job. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fat, and alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat, are essential because the body cannot make them. The paper describes their conversion into…

Does a limited movement always mean that a muscle needs more stretching? The authors argue that this assumption confuses the movement available at a joint with one of the factors that influences it. Bone shape, soft-tissue…

Spending longer in a stretch does not necessarily buy a proportionally larger gain in flexibility. The researchers pooled controlled studies comparing static stretching, where a position is held, with no stretching. Across 189 studies involving 6,654…
