New health research comes out every day. That seems like a lot of information to digest — and it is — but if you pay close attention we can get a clear indication of how to change our habits to live healthier, happier lives. Here are the 25 health studies YouBeauty found most relevant, informative and actionable for women in 2014:

  1. Feeling too stressed can sabotage your metabolism.
  2. Your melanoma risk may be closely tied to the sunburns you suffered as a teenager.
  3. Being physically active in your 20s will keep your brain sharp as you age.
  4. Already middle-aged? It’s not too late to start to reduce your risk of disease.
  5. Sleeping in a colder room can boost your metabolism.
  6. Eating a Mediterranean diet can decrease your type 2 diabetes risk.
  7. Some dietary fats can actually help you lose body fat.
  8. High impact exercise increases bone density — which women especially lose as they age.
  9. Don’t love working out? Running for just five minutes a day is all you need to extend your life.
  10. A PMS pill could be in the works. (Until then, there’s just chocolate.)

  19. The risk of getting skin cancer from manicure lamps is low but unpredictable.
