Study finds bright nights raise risk for stroke and heart failure in adults over 40

A large UK Biobank study found that higher night-time light exposure is linked to significantly greater risks of coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular conditions. The findings suggest maintaining darker nights and adequate daytime light could support heart health.

What Britain’s post-war sugar rationing teaches us about long-term heart health

A BMJ study found that individuals exposed to sugar rationing during their first 1,000 days of life had significantly lower risks of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure in adulthood. Early-life sugar restriction was linked to a 2.5-year delay in cardiovascular disease onset, suggesting long-term benefits for heart health.
