“Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans showed increases in lean tissue in both groups, yet the vitamin group gained more arm lean mass and had a larger rise in skeletal muscle mass index, meaning more women crossed above the diagnostic cutoff for low muscle mass.”

“Let your eyes see the daylight you need to reset. Sleep-Tracking Devices "Sleep trackers can be useful mirrors but they are not diagnostic tools. They are best used to spot trends, learn about your habits, and test adjustments—not to chase perfect scores."”
