Heat claimed more than 200,000 lives in Europe since 2022: WHO
More than 200,000 lives have been lost to the "silent killer" of heat in Europe since 2022, the World Health Organization said Thursday, after a heat wave saw some countries record their highest-ever May temperatures.

Recovering from (minor) brain and spine injury, I'm hand writing the same text phrase in eight distinct scripts (five new to me), with consecutive writings in "dissimilar" scripts to force my brain and hands to think each time. My goal is to repeat the whole octet 1250 times (total 10K). 🍎🏋️‍♂️🧠

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.”

What Do We Actually Know About the Microplastics Inside Us?
Pervasive plastic contamination and unreliable methods have clouded the science on microplastics in the human body. In an interview, Australian scientist Cassandra Rauert, who built a plastics-free lab to study human exposure, explores the challenges for researchers.

Eating less protein could slow aging, major review finds
A sweeping review of more than 350 studies suggests that the protein boom may be overselling what many people actually need. Eating less protein appears to improve metabolism, reduce inflammation and cellular damage, and activate pathways linked to healthier aging and longer life.

Residual emissions may perpetuate community-scale inequalities in US air pollution - Nature Climate Change
The scale of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) could determine the extent of co-emitted air pollutants in net-zero scenarios and potential health impacts. By linking a series of models and datasets, researchers find that low-CDR pathways lead to a more equitable distribution of health benefits across the USA.

Intermittent fasting triggers surprising changes in the brain #health

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.

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.

Heat waves threaten health of both young and old
A brutal heat wave blanketing much of Europe has prompted reminders that extreme heat poses a particular threat to the health of children and the elderly.

If you make a mosquito bucket, please cover the top with screening so that toddlers don't fall in. Per the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, approximately 40 toddlers drown each year in the United States. Happens all over the world. Happens even when buckets are half full. #mosquitoes #buckets #health #safety #parenting #kids

June heatwave in UK led to ‘mass sleep deprivation’, poll suggests
Exclusive: Record temperatures fuelled by climate crisis left 86% of homes ‘too hot’ and many people feeling unwell

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.🤞

Wednesday, I got bold/foolish and did a **17.4km** river walk, while *fasting*. Very little elevation change, but the longer distance and time, plus fasting, gave me a sense of progress.

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.
