Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity.

A new study by @mnoetel (@UQ_news) + colleagues shows you may be able to walk, run, lift or dance away depression.

And the more intense your exercise program, the better. https://t.co/diE24WXFY4

A #lowcarb diet can reverse #type2diabetes, but evidence is mounting that it also improves #type1diabetes. This new study that explored the role of #lowcarb diets on diabetes control in #type1diabetes concluded: "These preliminary findings suggest that a professionally supported LC diet may lead to improvements in markers of blood glucose control and quality of life with reduced exogenous insulin requirements and no evidence of increased hypoglycaemia or ketoacidosis risk in adults with T1D." That a low-carb diet isn't the standard of cure for T1DM is bizarre. https://t.co/fia4W6zfVg

Team sports develop important social and mental skills in children and teens. Our latest research also shows that continued sports participation during school years was linked to lower absenteeism, school completion, and better attention and memory +++

New @WHO report on #RoadSafety gives some cause for celebration – 5% ↓ in deaths (16% ↓ in death rates) since 2010, despite doubling of vehicle fleet & population increasing by 1 billion.
This should give us energy to redouble efforts. #RethinkMobility
