Oats can flush out toxic forever chemicals
Jogging has anti-depressant effects
A day early because Friday and Saturday are busy this week.
Thought is the result of time, and there can be that which is immeasurable and timeless only when the process of thought has ceased. “Hang yourself and you will regret it. Do not hang yourself and you will also regret it.” – Soren Kierkegaard

SHORT NOTES:
1..Oats can flush out toxic forever chemicals from your body.
2..Jogging helps Oxytocin between regions of the brain have anti-depressant effects.
3..Power Training for 14 weeks helps Older Adults.
4..People taking 2,000 IUs of vitamin D lost about 140 fewer base pairs from their telomeres than those taking a placebo.
5..Eating 5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day could improve sleep quality by 16%.
6..Folks in the lowest bracket for total cholesterol and iron were less likely to hit 100.
7..How much protein do you really need? Elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding women need double.
8..“How about sugar free vanilla and skim milk?” just black coffee has benefit.
9..Cleansing system called the glymphatic system relieves loneliness.
LONG NOTES:
Science 12 June pg 1176 – Why jogging is an antidepressant! Oxytocin-projections between two regions of the brain have anti-depressant effects.
The Impact of Power Training on Muscle Power, Physical Performance, and Physical Functioning in Older Adults: Powerful Ageing is a power training intervention offered by Dutch municipalities to improve the physical functioning of its older residents, thereby reducing their reliance on assistive living devices and social support services. Powerful Ageing ( a 14-week power training intervention) led to significant improvements in muscle power, physical performance, and physical functioning in older adults. Among participants who continued power training in the year following the intervention, improvements progressed even further, suggesting long-term benefits. Further research is needed to confirm the sustainability of the effects of power training in older adults.
Vitamin D May Help Slow Cellular Aging, Study Finds. The study, known as the VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL), showed that people taking 2,000 IUs of vitamin D lost about 140 fewer base pairs from their telomeres than those taking a placebo—a small but statistically significant difference.
Eating 5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day could improve sleep quality by 16%. Researchers found that each day’s diet was linked to “meaningful differences” in the subsequent night’s sleep. Those who ate more fruits and vegetables during the day were observed to have deeper, more uninterrupted sleep at night.
Long-lived people have the same crucial blood biomarkers, pointing scientists towards new anti-aging treatments. When participants were sorted into five groups for each biomarker, patterns starting popping out. Folks in the lowest bracket for total cholesterol and iron were less likely to hit 100 than those sitting midrange or higher. Meanwhile, creeping levels of biomarkers like glucose, creatinine, uric acid, and several liver enzymes quietly clipped the odds of joining the century club. Uric acid told perhaps the clearest story. In the group with the most modest readings, 4 percent reached triple digits; in the highest group, only 1.5 percent did. according to Earth.com, and the New York Post. This suggests that maintaining certain levels of these biomarkers, rather than being at the extreme low end, may be associated with greater longevity.
Study finds common dietary supplement can flush out toxic forever chemicals from your body. Eating a fibre supplement derived from oats before each meal could flush out toxic forever chemicals from the body, a new study suggests.
The Economist 14 June pg 69- How much protein do you really need?
Unless you are older or want bigger muscles, you’re probably getting enough. Fats and carbohydrates, eat your hearts out—protein is the macronutrient of the moment. Rich people love the stuff. They treat it like ambrosia. Are they onto something? Having protein on your plate is important. It is made up of amino acids, of which the body needs 20 types in order to grow, produce hormones and stay healthy. Nine of these, the essential amino acids, must come from food. Elderly folk may be better off eating more, since muscles wither with age and older bodies are less efficient at absorbing protein. A paper from 2020 suggested that pregnant and breastfeeding women need double the recommended amount to maintain muscle mass and feed their child. More protein can also help you lose weight. Protein takes more energy to digest than carbohydrates and fats and makes you feel fuller for longer. To build muscle mass, the International Society of Sports Nutrition has recommended a daily protein intake of between 1.4g/kg and 2g/kg, combined with resistance training. Yet advocates of a traditional balanced diet argue that because alternative sources of protein such as powders and bars often contain too many sugars, flavourings, emulsifiers and other additives, they are less healthy than food-based protein. Eating whole foods may also be a better route to building muscles after a workout, according to a review published in Nutrients in 2018. The greater risk of eating too much protein may come from protein-rich diets which rely heavily on red meat and ultra-processed foods that can also contain the saturated fats associated with ill health. Unless you’re looking to bulk up, a regular diet is ample.
In response to drink your coffee black, a reader asked “How about sugar free vanilla and skim milk?” The article just looked at black coffee, vs. sugar and cream. No mention of the zillion other concoctions. By the way, the same goes for tea. It is very good for your health, but if you add cream or sugar, the benefit disappears.
Why we sleep! the emergence of this brain cleansing system called the glymphatic system. a sleep deprived lonely individual can have almost a viral knock on effect that causes loneliness in another well-rested individual. another impact of a lack of sleep socially is that we stop wanting to help other people.
