"The microplastic (MP) 1–10 μm exposure estimates are 100-fold higher than previous estimates that were extrapolated from larger MP sizes, and suggest that the health impacts of MP inhalation may be more substantial than we realize."

Exercise is one of the best stress-relievers 💪

This study showed a dose-dependent link between exercise frequency and reduced stress levels

Even one session per week yields significant benefits

Could capsaicin from 🌶️ be useful in inflammatory bowel disease? Topical capsaicin improved intestinal permeability, gut #microbiome, and evidence of colitis in 🐁.

Any amount of weight training reduces mortality risk.

A key conclusion of this new analysis of 216,000 American older adults followed between 2004-05 and 2019.

Compared with those who did none, any amount of weight training was associated with a:

- 6% lower risk of all-cause mortality
- 8% lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality
- And 5% lower risk of cancer mortality

Despite this, 75% of the cohort reported doing no weight training.

Breaking: Introducing the first-ever global definition of sarcopenia! 🌍💪

"Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is a critical concern for aging populations worldwide. Previous definitions were region-specific, leading to inconsistent research and clinical practices."

"The finalized conceptual definition includes muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle-specific strength as integral components. Impaired physical performance is recognized as an outcome, not a component."

"The process involved 107 experts from 29 countries, ensuring a diverse and comprehensive approach."

The era of getting rid of senescent "zombie" cells in our body with senolytics has begun in clinical trials. Will it slow aging of organs or our bodies?

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Among 20 leading risk factors for years of life lost in 2040, reference forecasts point to 3 metabolic risks—high blood pressure, high BMI & high fasting plasma glucose—as top risk variables.

Meditation does a (good) number on your heart, in part by lowering blood pressure. You lower blood pressure, you lower the risk of heart attack and stroke, it’s that simple. Heart disease and stroke, taken together, are by far the most common killers in our society.

Air pollution is responsible for over 9 million annual deaths globally, with many attributed to cardiovascular causes.

In @TheLancetEndo, authors provide mitigation strategies to control air pollution-related cardiometabolic disease: https://t.co/Pd8uBoqQ3i
