Scientists gave 20 Alzheimer's patients creatine monohydrate for 8 weeks. This was the first clinical trial to test creatine in humans with Alzheimer's. What happened to their memory and cognition was extraordinary. Here's how remarkable creatine can be for your brain:

One only needs to look back at NAACP v Alabama to see why it’s bad for govt to have access donor lists. Back then it was so they could find out who the NAACP’s donors were so they could send the KKK to their homes. encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/naacp-…

NCAA says consecutive five-year eligibility will not be implemented next academic year on3.com/sites/field-of… via @on3

The NCAA has announced that the consecutive five-year eligibility period, otherwise known as the "Five-for-Five rule," will not be implemented for the 2026-27 academic year. The future potential policy will continue to be examined and discussed.

The NCAA has sent out messaging to members that the 5 for 5 eligibility rule change that has been circulated is not coming to college sports for the foreseeable future.

At first glance, it could have been an image from Pirates of the Caribbean, only with the buccaneers wearing neon bibs and kicking footballs around a field. Instead, the setting was the Italian football federation centre in Coverciano, where coach Silvio Baldini had tasked his under-21 players with wearing eye patches during training ahead of upcoming games with Sweden and Armenia. The idea is that wearing an eye patch helps develop depth perception and the sharpness of the dominant eye (the one a person’s brain relies on more for processing information). Most, but not all, people have an alignment between their dominant eye and the hand (or foot) they primarily use. But helping an athlete become aware of which eye they are dominant in can unlock the potential to hone the speed and clarity of their vision under pressure on the field. @GregOK 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/67029…

It’s not so much about how long you move; it’s how often. A growing body of research shows that you don’t need long gym sessions to improve health. The 2025 expert consensus statement (citation below) highlights how brief, frequent bursts of movement throughout the day, called short bouts of accumulated exercise (SBAE), can deliver many of the same benefits as structured workouts. 1️⃣ What Is SBAE? Short bouts of accumulated exercise are small sessions of movement, often 2–10 minutes, performed several times per day. They “add up” to meaningful totals of physical activity over time. 🟢 Example: Walking up the stairs, doing air squats after a meeting, or brisk walking after meals. 2️⃣ Why It Works Each short bout boosts blood flow, glucose control, and mitochondrial activity, while breaking up long periods of sitting — a key driver of metabolic and cardiovascular risk. 🟢 Example: Even a 2–5 minute walk every 30 minutes can help regulate blood sugar and reduce insulin spikes. 3️⃣ How to Apply It (Prescription Recommendations) The consensus provides a practical “exercise prescription” for SBAE: Frequency: Move every 30–60 minutes, several times daily. Intensity: Start light to moderate; progress to brief vigorous bouts if tolerated. Duration: Aim for ≥150 minutes per week of total activity, accumulated in short bouts. Timing: Post-meal movement is especially beneficial for glucose control. Type: Prioritize bodyweight or resistance-based movements that activate large muscle groups. 🟢 Example: Three 10-minute brisk walks daily = similar cardiovascular benefit as a single 30-minute session. 4️⃣ Key Benefits of SBAE Improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control Enhances vascular function and blood flow Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress Supports cardiometabolic health and mental well-being 🟢 Example: Studies show SBAE improves blood pressure and mood, even in people who don’t meet standard exercise guidelines. 5️⃣ Who It’s For SBAE is feasible for nearly everyone, including older adults, people with limited mobility, and those managing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease. 🟢 Example: Breaking up sitting with 2–5 minutes of movement is a practical, accessible strategy for desk workers and older adults alike. 6️⃣ Future Directions The consensus calls for research into: Optimizing intensity and timing for different populations. Using wearable tech and AI to track and personalize SBAE. Integrating SBAE into clinical guidelines for chronic disease prevention. You don’t need a gym or an hour - just consistency. Short bouts of accumulated exercise break the “sit–disease” cycle, enhance metabolic health, and make movement accessible for all. Yin M, Chen P, Mao L. Expert Author Group.

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy. Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself. Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.
