Nicotine injures blood vessels by two routes at once, and only quitting entirely, not switching to a vape or pouch, clears the risk.

One sugary drink a day linked to more than double the risk of stomach cancer
People who drank at least one sugar-sweetened beverage a day had roughly 2.45 times the risk of gastric cancer compared with those who rarely consumed them, according to a decades-long study of more than 112,000 U.S. adults. Artificially sweetened drinks showed no similar association, though researchers stress that the findings do not prove sugary beverages cause cancer.

Scientists tested 5 natural compounds on cancer cells. One stood out
Five natural compounds, including curcumin and berberine, were tested for their effects on cancer cells and healthy muscle cells. All disrupted cancer cell energy production and pushed many of the cells into a non-dividing state, with curcumin producing the strongest overall effect. Curcumin also showed a relatively favorable safety profile, while some other compounds caused more toxicity.

Sustainable medical electronics can reduce environmental impact by up to 65%
While electronic devices have become an integral part of everyday life, the consumption of critical raw materials and energy demand associated with their production continue to rise. According to the European Commission's European Green Deal, Europe aims to become climate-neutral while maintaining a competitive economy by 2050, which calls for new approaches that consider sustainability not only at the end of a product's life cycle but also during the development phase.

Here's something important: a healthier #lifestyle is not an all-or-nothing deal, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Some exercise is better than no exercise at all. Find the kinds of exercise you enjoy, and do them for as long as you're comfortable exercising. Over time, you may start exercising more — or not, that's fine too. Don't fall into the trap of exercising too hard. If you don't have enough time to exercise as much as you think you should, don't try to compensate with intensity, that will only backfire. A walk is a kind of exercise too, and a steady walk is better than trying too hard to run and failing.
A healthier diet is better than unhealthy one. Some veggies are better than none. Some mixed grain bread is better than white bread around the clock. There are so many dietary improvements that you could do without sacrificing taste or even spending much more. Sometimes it's literally a win-win situation: I prepare potatoes for 2–3 days, cool them overnight and then reheat in the oven, and I get both a healthier and a faster meal. And fiber is something you can easily add to various meals, and believe me, it's the most significant improvement I can think of.
And dear parents, please don't fuck up your children's good habits by raising the bar. If your kid likes some veggies, don't keep insisting that they must eat "healthier" veggies they hate. This never works well.
