I heard @hubermanlab say on a podcast how he regularly stops himself from doing trivial things - like picking up a paper clip or fidgeting with a pen in a meeting.

Why does he do that? Why does it matter?

(Surprise, surprise: it has something to do with our brains 🧠)

My favorite thing. The gut. Never ceases to amaze me how adaptive this thing is.

Exercise before learning new information helps boost short-term memory and exercise after learning helps improves long-term recall.

Getting fewer than 5 hours of sleep per night is associated with double the risk of dementia and early death in older adults. Both very short sleep durations and poor-quality sleep in the elderly were linked to high dementia risk and risk of earlier death.

Enough is enough. It’s time for vitamin D, which is low risk, to be strongly considered as a crucial factor in COVID-19.

In this clip, I discuss how previous exposure to viruses has an impact on immunity. One study found SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells present in 40-60% of unexposed people suggesting cross-reactivity between circulating common cold coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2. https://t.co/VMHrCK5lJL

the blackout tuesday does NOT mean to simply post a black picture and leave social media for the day. It means to stop promoting your own stuff for 24 hours, and instead amplify the voices & projects of Black creators, writers, directors, activists and more. pass it on.

Did you know that sleep and chronic stress contribute to gut imbalances because your gut flora listens to and becomes influenced by your thoughts and feelings?

So be sure to get 7-8 hours of quality sleep and remember to practice your favorite stress reduction activities daily.

The Asian giant "murder hornet" has reached the US. Its stinger can puncture a beekeeper's suit and deliver a sting "that victims have likened to hot metal driving into their skin". It could also decimate local bee populations. https://t.co/sA7Y94oIvd

Garlic only smells like garlic when its cells have been damaged, like when you cut or smash it. So if a head of garlic smells garlicky at the store, skip it. It’s likely been jostled on its journey and may spoil faster. Choose heads that have no aroma at all.

In regions of China with the highest selenium soil levels people were ~3x more likely to recover from COVID-19 whereas, in regions with low selenium, the death rate was 5x as high. COVID-19 cure rate was also linked with higher selenium status in hair. https://t.co/51NMwPjr2E

Do sugar cravings begin in the gut?

Sugar (particularly glucose) is sensed by a network in the gut which sends signals via the vagus nerve to a brain region where activation then increases motivation to consume more sugar. https://t.co/qekRiEEKCI

Homework and nutrient packed snacks are my jam! #Antioxidants #fiber #sweettooth

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Exercise causes muscles to release a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the lungs. A new review article suggests that exercise may help prevent and/or reduce the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome which is a complication of COVID-19. https://t.co/NqB23nQ5Fp

I am always trying to find creative ways to incorporate fermented foods into my daily meals! I usually add sauerkraut to my scrambled eggs every morning and I am obsessed. If anyone has any recommendations for dishes that pair well with sauerkraut, I would love to hear them!
