A major study from Harvard Medical School indicates that taxi and ambulance drivers exhibit the lowest rates of death from Alzheimer disease among hundreds of occupations. Researchers suggest that the constant demands of spatial navigation in these roles may help safeguard the brain against cognitive decline.

The analysis examined death certificates from nearly nine million Americans spanning 443 different jobs.

After accounting for age and other demographic variables ambulance drivers showed only 0.91 percent of deaths linked to Alzheimer disease while taxi drivers recorded 1.03 percent. These figures stand significantly below the national average.

Notably the protective effect was not observed in other transportation professions such as bus drivers or pilots who often follow fixed repetitive routes.

Experts point to the hippocampus the brain structure crucial for spatial memory and navigation as a likely explanation. This region is among the first to deteriorate in Alzheimer disease. Unlike drivers on predetermined paths taxi and ambulance operators continuously adapt to dynamic routes solve navigational problems in real time and manage complex environments. Such ongoing cognitive engagement is believed to foster greater cognitive reserve by strengthening hippocampal function.

While the observational nature of the research does not establish direct causation the results provide compelling evidence that regular mentally demanding navigation tasks could contribute meaningfully to reducing the risk of severe cognitive impairment.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“One of the most underrated skills you can learn is the ability to ignore your mood and stick with the plan.”

I don't know why Galatians 3 is so hard to obey but this is simple. There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither black nor white. There is neither Korean nor Hispanic. We are all one body.

No one should be erecting artificial barriers or starting groups in the church segregated by skin color or ethnicity. Not the left-wing "affinity group" promoters and not the right wing "kin and kind" promoters.

We are ONE body. And I will worship alongside my brothers and sisters of every color and cultural background and I will oppose anyone who tries to suggest we should be separated.

Today marks the beginning of what some call Pride Month.

For Christians, we celebrate today like we do every day - that this is the day the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it.

When we see the acronym LGBTQ, we don’t see sexual identities to celebrate, we see image-bearers of God who are doing what’s right in their own eyes and need the kind of love that points to Jesus and His truth.

The truth is God made us male and female so that a man can leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

God IS love and He has the authority to define it. He calls homosexuality a sin, and holy marriage between a man and woman very good. The most loving thing we can do is agree with God.

We can’t love others by affirming sin. This is my response to why we don’t celebrate Pride Month:

I am so proud of this little firecracker of mine.

When her school began their mental health unit in class a while back, she got up and left the classroom and called me. She was so upset because she couldn’t sit in that classroom and talk about mental health the “old way” anymore when none of those things ever worked for her and she is living proof of the new way.

I don’t blame her for feeling this way.

Under the old way, she was told she was out of options to treat what was diagnosed as bipolar disorder.

We never once gave up on her, and after finding the work of @CaseyMeansMD and @ChrisPalmerMD, she found relief and remission.

After meeting with the school and explaining to them exactly why the child they watched get progressively worse for years was suddenly a different child seemingly overnight, they agreed to give her a personalized assignment to share her journey and an opportunity to teach them about metabolic therapies.

She gets to present her project to her teachers today. She put so much work into telling her story and presenting how metabolic and ketogenic therapies works.

I’m so proud of her for standing strong in her truth.

I’ll be eagerly awaiting to hear how her very first solo advocacy presentation goes.

[Psykobarbi @Psykobarbi]

Horrific. I also don't understand how people are so involved in this. If she has 15 boyfriends, why does it matter to so many people. I can understand if you have kids in college, we're TPUSA is at, maybe, but otherwise, spend more time offline

Here's how the game they're playing with Erika works. They start with an outrageous claim or accusation that's so serious and damaging, it feels like you have no choice but to respond to it. Then they flip the burden of proof. Instead of proving the claim, they demand proof it isn't true. This is burden-shifting, but it's made worse by the fact that a lot of accusations are difficult (if not impossible) to disprove, especially when they’re about someone's motives or private behavior.

Once the accusation is out there, every possible reaction gets twisted into evidence of guilt. If you deny it, they say you’re being defensive. If you try to explain yourself, they say you’re over-explaining because you got caught. If you get angry, they say your anger proves they struck a nerve. And if you stay quiet, well . . . only the guilty have nothing to say in their own defense.

So the outrageous accusation itself never actually gets tested honestly, and it wasn't supposed to. The whole point was to make as many people as possible believe the claim must be true, no matter what is or isn't said in response to it. And it's nearly as effective as it is evil.

The only way out of the trap is to show that it's a trap, and to ridicule and reject the wicked people who tried to set it up in the first place.
