1 reason exercise gives you energy: a circuit from your motor cortex to your adrenals causes release of epinephrine, which activates specific vagal circuits which excites brain areas that release norepinephrine/alertness. A brain-to-body-to-brain “arousal loop”. Movement= energy.
From Puerto Rico to the Bay, @sanbenito joins @oldmanebro and @zanelowe in San Francisco to reflect on his journey in music and to let fans know what they can expect from Sunday’s #AppleMusicHalftime Show performance. https://t.co/CBbVbGxRpf
In 2016, Bad Bunny worked at a grocery store as a bagger.
10 years later, his album ‘Debí Tiras Más Fotos’ won Album Of The Year at the #GRAMMYs.
Chase your dreams, kid.
Oatmeal (and I think that’s rice and sourdough) made the cut! In all seriousness, assuming overall calories are kept in check and people exercise & get sun(day)light, this looks spot on. Maybe up the veggies a bit, add low sugar fermented foods like sauerkraut & this is great.
Two years of structured, vigorous exercise reversed about 20 years of age-related structural changes in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds
Under Dr. Ben Levine’s protocol, participants gradually built up to 5–6 hours/week of training, including Norwegian 4x4 intervals, endurance sessions, and strength work
By the end, the size and stiffness of their hearts resembled those of a typical 30-year-old
Vigorous exercise is powerful medicine
We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.
Engaging in creative, skill-based activities like dance, music, visual arts, or gaming can reduce your brain's biological age by ~6 years.
Researchers measured the 'brain age gap' (the difference between predicted and actual brain age) and found that creative experts had significantly younger brains.
This expertise translates to greater neural connectivity in brain regions responsible for motor control, precise timing, mental imagery, and salience detection. They also had more efficient local and global neural networks, which is a signature of robust cognitive function.
Healthy brain aging isn't just about nutrition and exercise protocols. Deliberately challenging your brain with creative and skill-intensive pursuits profoundly enhances neural resilience and longevity.
Too good.
(Me, I’m going w/meat, fish, eggs, full fat Bulgarian yogurt, vegetables, fruit, low sugar fermented foods, olive oil, a bit of butter & water & salt… & rice & sourdough bread, the occasional homemade pasta & lots of Yerba Mate & coffee
Oh & creatine & omegas &…)

Five African grey parrots had to be taken off public display at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park after they started swearing at visitors—and then laughing
Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade, and Elsie—came from different homes but became best friends, bonding over their shared love of new words and encouraged each other to say them, getting the giggles after
Exercise doesn’t just slow brain aging—it can reverse it
A year-long aerobic routine increased hippocampal volume by 2% in older adults, effectively reversing the typical 1–2% age-related shrinkage in this key memory region
This remarkable growth occurs due to exercise-induced increases in BDNF, a powerful protein that promotes neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons)
Regular physical activity is essential for a sharper brain, and it's never too late to start
