LONG NOTES
"The wealthiest three families now own more wealth than the bottom half of the country."
The researchers followed nearly 5,000 adults across the spectrum of 40 – 60 years of age from across the USA for 30 years. In essence, the study recommends that we need to DOUBLE the amount of weekly exercise 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity exercise to a minimum of 5.0 hours each week to have an impact. 2.5 hours of weekly exercise DID NOT prevent hypertension and 5.0+ hours of weekly exercise DID.
New York Times – We do not have free will. It is an illusion. But it is healthier to believe it exists. (This is true, and I taught this in my consciousness courses for 10 years.)
Researchers have found that people who live beyond 105 years tend to have a unique genetic background that makes their bodies more efficient at repairing DNA, according to a study published today in eLife. This is the first time that people with ‘extreme longevity’ have had their genomes decoded in such detail, providing clues as to why they live so long and manage to avoid age-related diseases.
Weight loss! [ed. Note-false alarm. Spoke with pharmacist. This drug causes nausea and only leads to 10 lbs weight lose after taking it daily for a year] Healthy Weight Loss Maintenance with Exercise, Liraglutide, or Both Combined. Liraglutide is an anti-diabetes medication that cannot be taken with alcohol. After an 8-week low-calorie diet, participants were randomly assigned for 1 year to one of four strategies: a moderate-to-vigorous–intensity exercise program plus placebo (exercise group); treatment with liraglutide (3.0 mg per day) plus usual activity (liraglutide group); exercise program plus liraglutide therapy (combination group); or placebo plus usual activity (placebo group). After the 8-week low-calorie diet, 195 participants had a mean decrease in body weight of 13.1 kg. At 1 year, all the active-treatment strategies led to greater weight loss than placebo: difference in the exercise group, −4.1 kg; in the liraglutide group, −6.8 kg; and in the combination group, −9.5 kg The combination strategy decreased body-fat percentage by 3.9 percentage points, which was approximately twice the decrease in the exercise group
