A study of 500,000 adults from the UK Biobank suggests that sleeping between 6 to 8 hours daily can slow down biological aging. Researchers found that those sleeping 6.4 to 7.8 hours had the lowest aging markers across organs like the heart and brain. Conversely, sleeping less than 6 hours or more than 8 hours was linked to accelerated aging due to stress, metabolism changes, or underlying health issues. Experts recommend consistent sleep schedules and avoiding screens before bed for better health. https://tv9telugu.com/lifestyle/how-many-hours-should-you-sleep-to-stay-young-study-reveals-the-ideal-sleep-duration-for-healthy-aging-1870250.html

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is popular for weight loss, but understanding its scientific basis is crucial. According to expert Dr. Anu Agarwal, ACV helps manage weight by suppressing appetite and controlling blood sugar rather than directly burning fat. Studies indicate minor weight reduction over 12 weeks when paired with a balanced diet. It must be diluted (1-2 spoons in water) to prevent damage to tooth enamel and the throat. People with kidney issues or ulcers should avoid it.
