A study in mice identified the cytokine IL-10 as a key culprit in diabetes-associated vascular damage in the brain and cognitive deficits. Full article linked below. bit.ly/4ldQ82u

CGM technology is widely used among diabetics and pre-diabetics, but as a recent review has pointed out, even those in evidently good metabolic health may benefit from the use of CGM. bit.ly/40RM4w1

Vigorous exercise causes muscles to produce lactate - which crosses the blood-brain barrier and is a messenger for the brain to produce neurotrophic factors like BDNF. BDNF is like a youth elixir for the brain and the signal that activates it is lactate from high-intensity exercise. If you want to bathe your brain in BDNF - vigorous-intensity exercise is one of the best ways to do it.

Lactate generated during exercise is consumed by the brain Not only that It increases VEGF at the blood-brain barrier The benefit of that? Blood vessel growth & repair @foundmyfitness

No pharmeceutical can rival exercise when it comes to slowing the aging process - particularly the aging brain. A large-scale trial investiated th effect of aerobic exercise (running, cycling) on cognition in the 20- to 67-year age range. Here’s what they found: Better thinking skills as you age: Exercise helped people’s executive function - that’s your brain’s ability to manage tasks, plan, and focus. Thicker brain cortex, regardless of age: • Higher cognitive reserve- aiding task flexability and improvisation • Resilience against brain aging and neurodegenerative disease • Improved neural plasticity, essential for lifelong learning and skill acquisition • Bolsters emotional regulation Real-world Application: The way the workouts were implemented could be a practical recommendation for improving brain health for the general public. Consistency is key: participants exercised about 40 minutes, four times a week for six months. Gradually increasing effort: they started easy (55-65% max heart rate) and slowly increased their workout intensity (65%-75% max heart rate). Monitoring progress: using heart rate monitors helped them stay in the desired exercise intensity. Flexibility: participants could choose the exercise (running or cycling) they preferred and set their schedules. #everydayoctober

Join me this month by participating in Everyday October. Like last year, I’ll be doing some form of deliberate exercise everyday! It's not just about fitness; it's about transforming effort into anticipation and building a habit of overcoming the mental resistance inherent to physical challenge. Let’s enjoy the strength in discipline, and the science behind exercise together!

@TulsiGabbard Omg come on! It isn’t as though it was heresy listening to his hateful speech and misogyny. I don’t affiliate with any political party but he clearly has no integrity, is not honest or even kind? Please get a grip! Anyone who feels Trump is president worthy has lost their mind!

The political prosecution of Trump is an obvious attempt by Biden/Dem elite to drain Trump’s attention and resources. Their actions expose their utter contempt for democracy and the rule of law—and makes laughable all of their verbiage about “protecting democracies around the world.”

Not having enough time for exercise is a myth and I no longer believe it! But I used to. Here's why I think high-intensity interval training can help people with this common type of self-deception. Watch the full episode with Dr. Martin Gibala (@gibalam) here: foundmyfitness.com/episodes/marti…

@elonmusk Situations where the parents are abusing the child or not affirming their identity are very real! As someone who spent quite a bit of time working with transitioning teens you would be amazed at how some of this kids are treated.

This bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. What it would actually mean is that if you disagree with the other parent about sterilizing your child, you lose custody. Utter madness!
Greg Price@greg_price11

BREAKING: The California Assembly just voted in favor of AB 957 which will require judges take into account whether a parent "affirms" a child's "gender identity or gender expression" in determining custody. The Senate already approved it so it's heading to Gavin Newsom's desk.

Upon reading the headline, I thought it was a prank. “Eating cheese and drinking red wine can reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s,” announced the Mirror. I checked the date – not April Fool’s Day. This article was in earnest. bit.ly/3nYB40S
