The underlying causes of chronic sleep deprivation in adolescents need to be addressed, potentially through systemic changes like school start times.Health · 14d agoNutritionist Warns of Foods Accelerating Cellular AgingA nutritionist warned that excessive sugar and heavily processed foods accelerate cellular aging by promoting the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
