The GAINZZZ of AugustI know it's not August. But I just thought of this pun now. I'm not what you'd call the "classic organized type." Science: Weight loss may benefit the overweight, but not -- repeat, not -- the lean or underweight. Whoa. World. Rocked. Thank You, Science! Intentionally losing weight can bring long-term health benefits for individuals with obesity, regardless of the method or strategy they use, according to a study of almost 200,000 people. Those who lost more than 4.5kg had less weight gain and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes than those who did not lose weight, but lean individuals did not benefit, with weight loss attempts associated with longer-term weight gain and higher risks of type 2 diabetes. The research is published September 27 in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine.What will these Science Wizards discover next Here's another one that's going to completely fail to blow any part of your minds. Social media has become a part of our everyday lives. However, social media usage can create negative mental problems--especially in children. I wish I'd held out until I was sixty. Speaking of sixty, here are a couple of articles about maintaining vitality into the Silver Years, or, as Joe Biden calls them, 1984 to 2002. That's a good joke. It's funny because it's true. Older adults who consistently get up early and remain active throughout the day are happier and perform better on cognitive tests than those with irregular activity patterns, according to a new study led by University of Pittsburgh researchers. They tracked the subjects with cellphones and pedometers -- you know, FitBit devices and such. ... Speaking of disrupted cycles -- I remember reading, back when I had panic, that it frequently hit people who had just gotten out of a highly-structured environment, like school or any kind of regular job, to enter a more chaotic schedule. Actors get panic a lot. Structure is good for the mind, and chaos is bad for it. This article mentions zeitgebers, which I talked about having helped me reset my own circadian clock: Time cues, called "zeitgebers," which help set the body's internal clock, can also assist in creating a stable routine. These include sunlight, exercise and eating. Pets, who often demand meals and walks at the same time each day, can be important social zeitgebers. Mark Rippetoe and Instapundit are always talking up the benefits of strength training for longevity. The Science (TM) confirms this. New research into weight lifting has revealed two insights: that the practice is able to strengthen the connections between nerves and muscles, and that this strengthening can still happen in the later years of our lives. Mark Rippetoe's book Starting Strength really hammers home that strength is not a muscular phenomenon, but a neuromuscular phenomenon: It's not just the muscles that have to be embiggened. The nervous system must also be trained to actually deliver a more forceful signal to the muscles to tell them to exert more force (and in doing so, get embiggened). So this is saying that muscular decline happens first because of the neuro- part of the neuromuscular system? It's the neurons that aren't firing as hard and properly innervating the muscles? This decline can't be stopped, but the new study shows that it can be slowed down significantly. According to the study's results, weight training makes the connections between nerves and muscles stronger, protecting the motor neurons in the spinal cord -- essential for a well-functioning body. The first "o" in Søndenbroe is that struck-through Norse o. I can't be bothered to look up the html code so I'll write it as a zero. ... If there's a plus side to this, Rippetoe also points out that the neuro- side of the neuromuscular chain can be built up much faster than the -muscular part. Which will then stop (or slow down) age-related muscle loss. So: Have any GAINZZZ? Any PROJEXXX or PLANZZZ? People getting ready for National Novel Writing Month? By the way, I've watched like fifteen videos on bullet journaling and I still don't get it. So-- you're just basically making lists, right? Some inspirational videos:
