These are the one's who discovered America
And should be taught in our history books
Not the false storyline they give about Columbus discovery America
Congratulations to Hayden Báhózhóonii Conner, of the Navajo Nation, from Phoenix, Arizona, who has verbally committed to play Division 1 volleyball at the University of Washington.

Heavy resistance training for one year has shown to have lasting benefits, preserving leg strength in older adults up to four years later.
Interestingly, this protective effect on muscle strength persists even as muscle mass declines over time, suggesting lasting adaptations in muscle function.
In contrast, individuals engaging in moderate-intensity training or those in the non-exercise control group witnessed significant declines in both muscle strength and functionality in the three years following the study.
These findings underscore the impact resistance training has on neuromuscular function, which extends beyond just muscle size.
This suggests that resistance training could be crucial for maintaining muscular functionality later in life, perhaps due to lasting increases in neuromuscular components like acetylcholine receptors.

Half of America doesn't get enough magnesium
The side effects?
Well... not much short-term
It's not something you can see
But long-term?
Accumulated DNA damage
And DNA damage is a major cause of oncogenic mutations
(and those can lead to cancer)
On average, each unit increase in VO2 max (1 ml/kg/min) is associated with a 45-day increase in life expectancy.
Maximizing longevity isn't just about adding years to your life; it's about enhancing the quality of those years through superior cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by VO2 max.
An improved VO2 max means our body becomes more efficient at using oxygen to generate energy. This efficiency isn't just about better performance in physical activities; it translates to enhanced energy levels and stamina in our daily lives.

~50% of the US population doesn't get enough magnesium
To make matters worse...
People who sweat a lot (athletes, everyone who uses the sauna, etc.)
They need ~20% more magnesium than the RDA (because magnesium is lost through sweat)
Congratulations to Joseline Blevins (Cherokee), a Junior at Stilwell High School in Oklahoma, who won the Oklahoma Class 5A State Wrestling Championship in the 120 lb division. She is the first female wrestler to win a state championship for Stilwell.

Blueberries make you smarter
1 cup improves:
• Memory
• Cognition
• Processing speed
• And executive function
Talk about a low-hanging fruit for cognitive enhancement
This 14-year-old kid offered himself as a volunteer since he was skinny enough to fit. With a pulley system, he went down 49.2ft and successfully rescued the baby.
Blueberries are high in flavonoids and anthocyanins that increase blood flow to the brain and improve cognition.
An analysis of 11 studies suggests blueberry consumption can improve certain aspects of memory, executive function, and psychomotor function across various ages, from children to older adults.
Some studies found cognitive improvement with as little as an equivalent of 1 cup of fresh blueberries daily.
This is a relatively easy dietary modification to make. Other studies have found that blueberries improve various aspects of metabolic health and blood pressure.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (measured by VO2 max) is one of the best indicators of improved healthspan and lifespan.
One of the best protocols for improving VO2 max is the Norwegian 4x4 protocol - a 4-minute interval at the maximum intensity you can maintain the entire interval followed by 3 minutes of recovery - repeated four times.
