A study warns that removing both ovaries before menopause, known as premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy (PBO), can lead to long-term health issues. While the procedure is commonly performed during a hysterectomy or to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in high-risk individuals, experts argue that it is often unnecessary and can cause complications. The study found that women who had both ovaries removed before age 46 were more likely to experience arthritis, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, and bone fractures. However, the researchers did not find any differences in cognitive function between those who had their ovaries removed and those who did not. It is important for individuals to weigh the pros and cons of ovary removal, especially for those at high risk of ovarian cancer.

An 800-calorie a day soup and shake diet can reverse Type 2 diabetes for at least five years, according to the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (Direct).

Losing weight and keeping it off can help reverse diabetes, a serious condition that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, narrowing of blood vessels and nerve damage. The findings support growing evidence that weight loss and remission from Type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay the complications of diabetes.
