“The greatest benefits were obtained in the lumbar spine, an area that is particularly vulnerable to the damaging effects of bone loss. High-load resistance training involves using heavier weights and performing fewer repetitions (typically 8 to 12 per set per exercise) than ordinary resistance training.”

“A recent study found that greater lean muscle mass reduced the risk for Alzheimer's disease by 12 percent. Using Mendelian randomization techniques, researchers analyzed health data and cognitive performance of more than a million people with or without Alzheimer's disease.”

“Over time, these linked cognitive demands may have beneficial effects on brain structure and function. Recent studies have shown that highly fit and competitive young adult athletes perform better on tests of executive function and processing speed in non-sport specific cognitive tasks.”

“The high-intensity exercise was performed at 20 percent above the lactate threshold. Although both forms of exercise improved the men's reported moods, resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging provided insights into how the different exercise intensities influenced brain function.”

“These findings suggest that exercise can benefit children's cognitive performance and underscore the importance of physical activity programs in schools. Link to full study.”

“Researchers assessed the cognitive performance of 45 healthy older adults. They measured the participants' red blood cell omega-3 concentrations ("omega-3 index") and evaluated their blood-brain barrier integrity using magnetic resonance imaging.”

“On the other hand, if we tell ourselves that stress diminishes performance, challenges our immune system function, and is otherwise harmful, it will also have these effects. What we believe about stress is powerful and can determine our responses to it.”

“Everlywell, a company that offers home lab tests, will begin offering at-home COVID-19 tests prescribed by a doctor based on criteria established by the CDC. About 30,000 of these at-home tests will be available beginning 3/23/20. The sample will be processed at one of several FDA-approved labs to perform the test within 72 hours and the results will be sent to patients via text and email.”

“Surprisingly, just nine minutes of moderate to vigorous activity markedly improved cognitive performance versus sedentary activity. Physical activity is a broad term that includes exercise, work-related exertion, and even some hobbies.”

“At higher plastic concentrations, Leuconostoc mesenteroides maintained strong performance, while Latilactobacillus sakei showed a sharp drop in efficiency. Across a wide range of pH levels and temperatures, both strains remained effective, although Latilactobacillus sakei performed slightly better under extreme acidity and heat.”
