What makes a diet healthy—or not? According to a new study, nutritional quality matters more than processing level when it comes to long-term health. The study of over 200,000 people found that the overall quality of a person’s diet was strongly associated with their risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and death. However, these associations did not appear to substantially differ based on food processing levels.

Researchers from the Universities of Hildesheim, Bonn, and Freiburg have now uncovered how human skeletal muscle responds to resistance exercise at the molecular level. Their findings provide new insights that could help optimize training programs for athletes, improve rehabilitation strategies, and counteract age-related muscle loss. Resistance training is essential for maintaining healthy skeletal muscle throughout life. The World Health Organization now recommends moderate muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week, even for older adults, to help prevent the loss of muscle strength. The new study is published in the latest issue of Nature Communications.
