7,000 Steps Daily Linked to Reduced Disease Risk
A new study suggests that walking 7,000 steps daily, rather than the common 10,000, significantly reduces risks of heart disease (25%), cancer (6%), dementia (38%), and depression (22%), based on data from 160,000 adults worldwide, challenging the prevailing 10,000-step guideline.

Discovery of Key Cells Causing Axial Spondyloarthritis Opens Door to New Treatments
Oxford University researchers discovered that trapped CD4+ TRM17 cells in joints produce the inflammatory protein IL-17, causing axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) in approximately 200,000 people in the UK, potentially leading to new treatments targeting these cells.
