“The authors of the study analyzed structural MRI data from more than 9,100 children between the ages of nine and 10 years old who were enrolled in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.”

“Then, they exposed a person with Hodgkin's lymphoma to cool (22°C, 71°F) temperatures for seven days and found that the participant exhibited activated brown fat and their tumor showed diminished glucose consumption, suggesting the findings in mice translate to humans.”

“Current exercise guidelines recommend that adults engage in at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (or an equivalent combination of the two) weekly to promote cardiovascular health.”

“A recent study in mice found that C. albicans triggers a dual-pronged defense system involving both the brain and the immune system; however, when elements of this system fail, the fungi can impair the blood-brain barrier and drive amyloid plaque formation.”

“However, the transport of the phospholipid form of DHA across the blood-brain barrier bypasses the default in tight junctions, potentially providing a better means of DHA transport for people with the APOE4 gene and lowering their risk of developing the disease.”

“Researchers asked four young, healthy adults to perform 20-second high-intensity sprints on an exercise bike under four different muscle temperature conditions: room temperature, after leg immersion in hot water (44°C/111.2°F), and after immersion in cool water (18°C/64.4°F and 12°C/53.6°F).”

“Some of the participants (42) took a mindfulness-based stress reduction course, while the remainder (28) took a stress management education course, which provided information about nutrition, sleep habits, and other wellness topics but did not include mindfulness.”

“Sleep scientists generally categorize the various phases of human sleep as REM (rapid-eye movement – the period when dreams occur) and NREM (non-rapid-eye movement – the period typically described as "deep sleep").”
