““The reason that we want to help spread the word is two-fold,” said Amy Miller.
“People are interested in coming here to work in health care. Obviously, we’re so grateful to be here. But I want the community here to know that it’s working and to continue with that momentum. And I want to let people in the States know that this is an option, that it’s a real option.”

Think you're eating healthy? You may be missing this heart-protecting nutrient
Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables may not be enough if you're missing foods rich in flavanols, a group of compounds linked to better heart health. Researchers found that choices like blackberries, plums, apples, broad beans, cherries, and green tea can dramatically increase flavanol intake.

Keeping our minds active is essential for healthy aging. Consistent brain stimulation enhances cognitive function and slows memory decline. In our golden years, embracing activities like puzzles or learning new skills can fortify mental acuity. Prioritizing mental health leads to enriching lives.

Private member's bills rarely if ever turn into law, but I am proud that my MP is bringing this forward. We need to take the stigma out of Mental Health and drug addictions treatment and this is one way to help.
"The bill, The Mental Health Parity Act, proposes that mental health, addictions, and substance use services into Canada’s universal, public health care system. It would introduce framework for the federal government to partner with provinces and territories to provide public coverage, and is modelled after the Canada Health Act. It will also include provisions to promote public accountability to reduce regional disparities in coverage.”

Intermittent fasting triggers surprising changes in the brain
Losing weight may involve rewiring the gut and the brain at the same time. In a study of obese adults, an intermittent fasting-style diet led to significant weight loss, healthier metabolic markers, and notable shifts in gut bacteria. Brain scans also revealed changes in regions tied to appetite, cravings, and self-control. The results suggest the gut microbiome and brain may work together to influence weight-loss success.

Analytical investigation of metal distribution from e-cigarette aerosols to lung deposition using multi-platform mass spectrometry - Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
E-cigarettes are promoted as a safer alternative to conventional tobacco, yet emerging evidence indicates they may expose users to harmful metals. While prior research has focused on nicotine and organic constituents, the bioaccumulation and spatial distribution of toxic metals in lung tissue remain poorly understood. In this study, a multi-platform analytical approach combining ICP-MS, GC-ICP-MS, GC-MS, and LA-ICP-MS/MS was employed to characterise the elemental and organic composition of refi…

6.5kms morning walk today. Still 40% slower than normal but the goal was to increase distance while reducing discomfort, which I did by focusing on just walking; not looking around (which causes discomfort).
Got some nice pictures though. Same mountains and valleys as the last few days but in new settings and with some new elements.

A Nigerian teen is turning agricultural waste into biodegradable sanitary pads
For many Nigerian women, access to sanitary pads remains a challenge. Even those who can obtain them, the prevalence of single-use menstrual products creates problems of its own. They contain plastics and chemicals and are not eco-friendly generating large amounts of waste. After learning that many traditional sanitary pads used contain up to 90% plastic […]

I had a fall in late January, resulting in minor brain hemorrhages (SAH), neck vertebrae bulge, and damaged spinal-cord protective cover. 🤕
Recovery has been tough and the limitation on physical activity has been disappointing. So, today I was happy that I did my longest continuous walk (2.65k) since the injury. 40% slower than before, but hopeful that I can soon be more active.🤞
