The Berlin Airshow takes place after a four year break. Increased defense spending and new technologies are the main topics, Aviation Week editors Tony Osborne, Thierry Dubois and Jens Flottau discovered.

While famous business owners such as Elon Musk and Alan Sugar recently claimed that people working from home are essentially ‘slacking off', new data on the matter tells a different story. Remote work remains popular Expert Market, a business solutions comparison website, spoke to CEOs, founders and decision-makers from 125 European and North American companies in May 2022 about their hybrid/remote operations since the COVID pandemic began. They highlighted the main benefits and drawbacks they'd seen for their employees and their company, as well as what programs and platforms they've used to keep their operation going. 94% Of Companies support Hybrid/remote Work, due to Increased Employee Productivity & Happiness Here are the key findings,92% saw positive benefits of flexible working options – with only 16% reporting negative impacts, and 94% stated that they will continue working in a hybrid/remote way. Slack was the most popular program for workplace communication – 52% stated that only one of the companies has returned to the office completely Expert Market conducted a similar report with 100 business owners in May 2020 around remote working. 90% of companies then saw positive WFH benefits – the recent May 2022 report shows an increase to 92%. Some of the key benefits and downsides they stated were: Due to the success of these setups, 94% of the companies stated that they will continue working in a hybrid/remote way in the future. Only 7% of the hybrid companies aim to eventually return to the office full time in the next couple of years. The remaining 93% will continue in a hybrid way. We asked them how many days working from the office – the most popular options stated were ‘At employee discretion' (38%) and 2 days in the office per week (26%). Almost three out of four (74%) of the fully remote companies we spoke to stated that they will stay remote. 22% will move to a hybrid way of working, and 4% aim to return to the office in the next year. An emerging trend started by some remote companies is to use co-working spaces – such as WeWork – for any employees who'd like office time with fellow colleagues: ‘We don't plan on returning to the office full-time in the future, but we'll offer flexible workspace options to our employees. Giving WeWork access to all team members for a more flexible workspace that provides for the needs of employees who enjoy working in an office environment.' Monica Chan, Co-Founder of DigiWorks In the latest findings, only 16% stated that there were negative impacts of hybrid/remote working including – Isolation having an impact on employee mental health (6%), tech/communication issues (2%), issues with employees overworking (2%), and missed office culture/relationships (2%). This is a huge difference from the 2020 report, when 71% of business owners said they'd witnessed negative impacts, such as a reduction in productivity, difficulty maintaining the work/life balance, and difficulty in assessing accountability. Expert Market also asked the 125 companies which programs they've relied on the most for hybrid and remote working. Slack was the most widely used work chat program with 52% of the companies using it. For video chat platforms, Zoom was most popular with 47% of the companies using it for communicating with colleagues and clients. Here's the breakdown of the most used communication channels: Some of the CEOs found that flexible working changed their whole attitude around how to operate a business: “Throughout my career, I was a firm believer that you build successful teams by working in-person day-to-day. The pandemic opened my eyes to the possibility of building great teams that thrive in a completely remote and/or hybrid setting. With my current startup, we are completely remote and the benefit of this is being able to recruit and retain top talent across the world. We do not have plans for a physical office building at this time. Every employee has a unique life, meaning their famil...

Episode 99: Intermittent Fasting 99. By Danish Khalid, MS4; Sapna Patel, MS4; Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Valerie Civelli, MD; and Hector Arreaza, MD.Intermittent caloric restriction may seem like a new trend, but Sapna and Danish discussed that actually fasting is practiced in different cultures and it has many health benefits, including weight loss. .  This is the Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.D: Welcome and thank you for tuning back to our Nutrition series! Today, we want to give a shout out to one of our listeners. She brought up a topic that has recently gained public interest. Intermittent fasting. So, if you're listening, Hina Asad, this one's for you! Let's jump in! V: 2/3 women are overweight and obese. 1.5 pounds gained/yr on avg age 50-60's.S: So like we said earlier, intermittent fasting has recently gained much public interest as a weight loss approach. Or should I say, revitalized itself, as it has been around for years. It describes an eating pattern in which you alternate between periods of eating and fasting (or not eating). The length of each fast can vary in duration. A: There are feasting and fasting periods, or fed states and fasting states. What is more effective: Intermittent restriction of calories or continuous restriction of calories?  D: Before we dive in, let's go back. We know that calorie reduction has been consistently found to produce reduction in body weight and improve overall health. We talked about how to calculate our basal metabolic rate and subtracting calories from our daily caloric intake to result in weight loss. However, this can be difficult to sustain over a long period. Additionally, it requires that you adjust your caloric needs every so often as you lose weight, which can further make it difficult. So how is intermittent fasting different from this?   S: Well, in contrast to calorie reduction, intermittent fasting focuses on when calories are consumed and the total quantity consumed. Intermittent fasting works through an altered liver metabolism, referred to as the “metabolic switch.” It's where the body periodically switches from liver-derived glucose to adipose-derived ketones. In doing so, it stimulates an adaptive response including improved glucose regulation, improved insulin sensitivity, and increased stress resistance via conditioning. V: When you eat is more important than what you eat. Benefits: reducing cancer, Alzheimer's, DM risk, better sleep, less hangry(*find evidence).  D: What happens when we fast? In our previous podcast we mentioned ketosis, but let's talk about the physiology behind fasting.Feeding: blood sugar levels rise as we absorb food and insulin levels rise in response to move glucose into the cell. Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver to convert it to fat.S: Postabsorptive phase (6-24hrs after beginning fasting): Blood glucose and insulin start to drop. To supply energy ,the liver starts to breakdown glycogen, releasing glucose. Glycogen stores last 24-36hrs. V: Insulin levels are low, and fat stores are available and improves mental clarityD: Gluconeogenesis (24hrs - 2 days after beginning fasting): Glycogen stores run out. The liver manufactures new glucose from amino acids called “gluconeogenesis” ( literally “making new glucose) S: Ketosis (2- 3 days after beginning fasting). A: Autophagy: “Auto” means self and “phagy” means eat. So the literal meaning of autophagy is “self-eating.”S: The protein conservation phase (5 days after beginning fasting): High levels of growth hormone maintain muscle mass and lean tissues. The energy for basic metabolism is mostly supplied by fatty acids and ketones. Blood glucose levels are maintained by gluconeogenesis using glycerol. Increased adrenaline levels prevent any decrease in metabolic rate. There is a normal amount of protein turnover, but it is not being used for energy. V: How long should we fast for?  D: Fasts can range from 12 hours to three month or more. We can categorize them as short (24 hours). However, shorter regimens are generally used by those mostly interested in weight loss. The short daily fasting regimens can be divided into the length of fasting - 12 hours fasts, 16 hours fasts, and 20 hours fasts.  S: Daily 12 hour fasting introduces a period of very low insulin levels during the day with 3 equally spaced meals throughout the day. This prevents the development of insulin resistance, making the 12 hour fast effective against obesity. Although a great preventative strategy, it is not the most effective at reversing weight gain.  D: Fun Fact: In years past, the 12 hour fasting period was considered a normal eating pattern. This probably explains why prior to the 1970s, there was much less obesity. It wasn't until the 1970s when the USDAs made dietary changes making a higher-carb and lower-fat diet a staple. That's when obesity started to rise.  S: On the other hand, during the 16 hour fasts most people skip the morning meal to account for the extra hours. In this regimen, you have an 8-hour eating window period, this is why it's also called time-restricted eating. Although you can still eat 3 meals most people tend to stick to 2 meals. The 16 hour fast certainly has more power than the 12 hour fast, but it should be combined with low-carb diets to allow for a slow and steady weight loss.  A: Feasting periods should not be so liberal, and over time it becomes easier to control hunger.  V: Feeding hours: healthy fats, proteins, fish, avocados, grass fed butter, unprocessed carbs (especially Low glycemic berries, squash, quinoa, vegetables, Low sugar, low alcohol intake… eating healthy basically. D: Fun Fact: A Swedish bodybuilder named Martin Berkha popularized this regimen, which is why you will also hear it being called the LeanGains method. V: Skipping breakfast reduces caloric intake by 20-40%, addresses visceral fat.S: Lastly, the 20-hour fasting regimen, also known as “the Warrior diet.”  Ancient warrior tribes such as Spartans and Romans devised a “warrior diet” in which all meals are eaten in the evening during a 4 hour window. This results in a 20-hour fasting period each day. This diet also emphasizes natural, unprocessed foods and high-intensity interval training. A: Summary: 12-hour, 16-hour, 20-hour. Dr. Jason Fung also recommends 24-hour fasting. It is basically skipping breakfast every day and skipping lunch 3 times a week. “Hunger is your friend”. D: Before we move forward, I just want to add that not all fasts are the same. For instance, I'm a Muslim, and there's a month where we fast for religious purposes, called Ramadan. During this time we fast from sunrise to sunset, or dawn to dusk. In contrast to traditional fasting, this fasting differs in that we don't eat or drink anything. Even water. Whereas in intermittent fasting it's different. Now, there have been studies done where they studied individuals during this time to see if there was any weight loss during this period. It was found that people typically lost about 1-2 pounds of weight. However, I do want to clarify this weight loss could be fat loss or muscle loss.  A: Another group of people who fast are Mormons. They traditionally fast once a month, the first Sunday of every month. It's a complete abstinence of food and water for 24 hours, skipping 2 meals. Fasting periods are linked to improve your spiritual well-being as well.  S: Certain Hindu festivals and holy days require devotees to observe fasting as part of their worship.  For example, Navarātrī, the nine-night celebration that occurs yearly. Some people take only water during these nine days, while some eat fruit while some eat one meal a day.  Hindus will observe fasts of varying strictness depending on individual beliefs or practices. Here are some examples of common fasts observed by Hindus:not partaking any food or water for a set number of days.limiting oneself to one specific vegetarian meal during the day.eating or drinking only certain food types for a set number of days.Avoiding eating certain food types for a set number of days.' S: So what can I consume when I fast? Do I have to completely stop eating and drinking for those hours? D: Only certain fluids can be consumed during fasting periods: water, tea and coffee ( iced or hot) and homemade bone broth. It's important for you to drink water frequently throughout the day. You can enjoy flat, mineral or carbonated water.   V: While Fasting: ok to have coffee, tea and water. Fasting creates a state of alertness.   S: What can you add to your water? Limes, lemons, sliced fruit (do not eat the fruit itself), vinegar, Himalayan salt, chia, and ground flaxseeds ( 1 tbsp in 1 cup water). Do not add sweetened powders even if it's sugar-free. D: You can consume up to 6 cups of caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee on a fasting day. Black coffee is preferred, but you can add up to 1 tbsp of certain fats in your coffee. These include: coconut oil, medium chain triglyceride oil (MCT oil), butter, ghee, heavy whipping cream (35% fat), half and half, whole milk, ground cinnamon for flavor. V: Ghee butter is clarified butter with no lactose.  A: You can curve appetite by drinking water, eating grains of salt, and drinking pickle juice (use a straw to avoid dental problems) S: You can consume unlimited herbal tea during your fasting period.  I know Danish and I both are Tea Connoisseurs. Right Danish? Teas can suppress your appetite, lower your blood sugar levels and are otherwise beneficial (positivi-tea). Bitter melon tea, black tea, cinnamon chai tea and oolong tea, help lower blood sugar levels. Peppermint tea and green tea help suppress appetite. Peppermint is good for GI discomfort such as gas and bloating. A: Peppermint oil is good for IBS. D: It's not uncommon to experience some lightheadedness during your first few days of fasting periods. This is often caused by dehydration and decreased levels of electrolytes. An easy remedy is a good homemade broth. Both vegetable and meat or bone broth will work. Things you can include in your broth: any vegetable that grows above the ground, leafy greens, carrots, onions, bitter melon, animal meat and bones (mostly bones, any animal), Himalayan salt, any herbs or spices, ground flaxseeds. Avoid vegetable puree, potatoes, yams, beets or turnips and store bought broths. (Dr. Fung). A: This is the end of this part on “How to fast”. Some people think fasting includes being hungry the whole day, but the “hungry” feeling goes away after 1 hour, and you learn to recognize the cues from your body about hunger and satiety. ___________________________________________________________________________ Now we conclude our episode number 99 “Intermittent Fasting 99.” This is not a complete guide to fasting, it's only a brief overview. Fasting has become a new nutritional trend with proven benefits. Remind your patients that one of the secrets of fasting is “delay, don't deny”, meaning they can delay eating a few hours and then enjoy what they like the most. Sapna, Danish and Dr. Civelli also reminded us to eat with moderation after breaking our fast to maintain the benefits of fasting. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Sapna Patel, Danish Khalid and Valerie Civelli. Audio edition: Suraj Amrutia.

This week's guest may be new to Twitter (@nancy__davis), but she's certainly not new to the wide world of volatility in all its wonderous “fruit” forms, including of course rates and fixed income volatility. In this Derivative episode, Jeff sits down with one of the "100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance," Nancy Davis. Nancy, who started her career at Goldman Sachs, is the founder of Quadratic Capital, portfolio manager for the IVOL and BNDD ETFs, and a frequent finance commentator on Bloomberg and CNBC. In this engaging chat, Nancy is talking TIPS (inflation, duration exposure, plus real yields, and yield curve control), debit card vs credit card investing, why most bond investors are short mortgage calls, the purpose of IVOL, the day-to-day of running an ETF (the Vanguard of Convexity), a mother's love for options, what it takes to make it as a female in finance, why having a P&L is the key to meritocracy, and much more. Plus, we're playing two truths and a lie where we find out if she has a strong poker face or if that's just a reference to her doppelganger — SEND IT!

Dr. James DiNicolantonio shares amazing tips about how salt, hydration and sauna strategies can help improve strength and exercise performance.  Support your Exercise Performance with the new Electrolyte Stix by MYOXCIENCE Nutrition: Save with code podcast at checkout Get Jame's New book Win: Time Stamps 03:15 Maintain your muscle and cardiovascular health through exercise. Reduce the risk of sarcopenia with resistance training, 30 – 60 min 3 – 4 times per week. Running at 60 – 70% of your max heartrate boosts your endurance. HIIT or super maximal interval training 2 – 3 times per week helps your cardiovascular system. 07:10 Preloading with salt and fluids is 10 to 20 times better than other supplements. Dosing salt correctly, allows you to exercise up to 20 minutes longer. Beta alanine allow you to vigorously exercise 1 to 2 minutes longer. 07:40 The main benefit from preloading with salt and fluids is from the boost in blood volume prior to vigorous exercise. You have an 8 to 10% drop in blood volume within 5 minutes of vigorous exercise.  The biggest adaptation during vigorous endurance exercise is the attempt to increase baseline blood volume. 08:54 Elite athletes have a 40% increase in blood volume over typical males and females. High doses of salt and fluids should be reserved for just prior to competition. 10:32 Dehydration acclimation, inducing mild amounts of dehydration multiple times, can help build blood volume. 12:05 Before a typical workout, you can ingest 1,000 mg of sodium and 10 to 16 ounces of fluid. High levels used for competition would be 3,000 to 4,300 mg of sodium and about 26 ounces to 33.8 ounces of fluid. This matches to saltiness of your blood. 13:40 Increased blood volume increases cardiac output, decreases oxygen demand on the heart and gives you a larger volume to dissipate heat. We lose blood volume to sweat. You can better pull waste from your cells and better deliver nutrients. 15:30 Sauna therapy is similar in metabolic adaptations to dehydration therapy. When you become heat activated, your baseline core body temperature becomes lower. You have a larger pool to soak up heat. You can train and perform longer before the enzymes that produce ATP start shutting down. 16:05 When you are heat activated, your sweat becomes more dilute. You lose fewer electrolytes. The diluted sweat evaporates faster, so your cool faster. 16:34 To become heat activated, you need to do a sauna session every day for 2 weeks or so, raising your core body temperature to 101.3 and maintain it for 20 to 30 minutes. You can go as few as 4 days per week, but it will take you longer to achieve being heat activated. The benefits of doing this will last as long as 2 weeks, as long as you maintain a good exercise program. 18:57 Endurance exercisers with large blood volumes typically have good blood pressure. As long as your arteries vasodilate well, and you do not have increased vasoconstriction with increased blood volume, you should not see an increase in blood pressure. 20:07 Body temperature is highly influenced by circadian biology. Post exercise sauna for 13 sessions, improves performance by about 10%. 23:28 Postpone your cold plunge for 2 to 4 hours after exercise, if your goal is hypertrophy. Sooner than that inhibits some of your muscle size and strength gains from exercise. Elite athletes plunge directly after exercise to limit inflammation and accelerate recovery. 26:55 Exercise timing is individual and depends upon whether you are a morning person or a night owl. About 8 hours after you wake up is typically when you perform at your best. Your cognition is shot for a few hours after vigorous exercise. Exercise close to bedtime impacts your ability to go to sleep. 29:20 Avoid caffeine at least 6 hours before bedtime. 31:48 If you are a vegetarian, you are not getting many nutrients found in red meat. Carnitine is important for fat oxidation for fuel. Carnosine is an advanced glycation end product inhibitor and buffers acid produced during exercise. Beta alanine boosts carnosine levels. Taurine is an amino acid that helps with blood pressure, blood flow, antioxidant status in the central nervous system.  33:45 Red meat is more nutrient dense than chicken. Pork is 10 times higher in thiamine (vitamin B1). Consume liver (for vitamin A and copper) and heart (for coQ10) on a fairly consistent basis.  Many of us are deficient in vitamin A and copper and anemia is driven by this. 35:10 Creatine improves cognition. 50% of methylation is for the creation of creatine in your body. Supplementing frees up that effort for you body. 36:35 Supplementing 3 to 5 grams of creatine per day brings most benefits. Eating red meat may not get you to that level. 37:20 The more hydrated your muscle is, the better blood flow, oxygen delivery and pump you get. Your muscle is about 75% water. Creatine enhances cell hydration. 38:40 Supplementing with creatine at doses of 5 grams per day is completely safe. 39:40 To induce hypertrophy, the key is to go near or to failure. Heavy weight is not necessary. Inositol helps to improve insulin sensitivity, thus preserving muscle mass. 41:51 For prolonged vigorous explosive activity, preloading with carbs improves performance. It helps you to tap your muscle glycogen reserves. There are benefits to training fasted. Metabolic flexibility is when you can burn either fats or carbs. 42:50 It is taxing to force your body to make glucose, rather than ingesting exogenous glucose. 45:00 Longevity populations are generally smaller and have less muscle mass than Americans, so they can get away with lower protein intake. Our needs are higher. 46:42 Exercise improves insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance chronically elevates mTOR. 48:40 Elevated LDL (outside of genetic influences) is not a risk factor for increasing heart disease, in the face of good insulin sensitivity, low triglycerides, and good HDL. 49:30 Oxidized LDL is a contributor to heart disease. The amount of linoleic acid in LDL influences oxidation. Eating heart for ubiquinol and eating high quality meat for carotenoids, helps to protect LDL from oxidation. Increasing olive oil consumption increases monounsaturated fats in LDL, decreasing susceptibility to oxidation. 51:30 When you replace animal fats with vegetable oils, there is an increase in all-cause mortality. LPa is a functional marker of oxidation, with elevated LDL. 55:05 Salt intake recommendations are based upon expert opinion, not clinical evidence, or meta-analysis. Lowering salt intake barely lowers blood pressure. Some may have an increase in blood pressure with the decrease of salt intake. Decreases in blood pressure from reducing salt is from depleting blood volume. Stress hormones increase. 56:00 When you go below 3000 mg of sodium, all the stress hormones increase. Insulin resistance increases as well. 3000 to 5000 mg of sodium is associated with the least amount of rise in stress hormones and the lowest amount of risk of cardiovascular disease.

The majority of athletes consider heat to be their enemy. It depletes you, it slows you down, it burns your skin, it makes training and racing downright miserable. In other words, this is the perfect opportunity to turn someone else's problem into your advantage.  Training in the heat, done properly, brings additional adaptations for your Fitness that will unlock performance on race day. Several studies have shown that training in the heat two or three times per week for 20 to 90 minutes, will create several beneficial training effects.  Decreased heart rate Improved exercise economy Lower core temperature at sweat onset Increased plasma volume (Plasma is the liquid component in your blood. If the volume is increased, you can send blood to cool your skin without compromising the supply carrying oxygen to your muscles.)

World Press Freedom Day was a chance to take stock of some of the continent's success stories. The Seychelles is one of the rare African countries where most journalists are women. Elsewhere, the profession still poses life-threatening risks. Also, there are calls for the government in Congo Brazzaville to do more to identify and support those suffering from mental illness. It's a neglected issue across the continent and the fallout can have devastating consequences. And we head to Benin to hear from some of the companies prioritising the environmental and social well-being of their employees and customers over profit.

“Sustainably wild, surprisingly delicious,” goes the slogan. Unlike the bottom feeding common carp, invasive Asian carp species – grass, silver, bighead and black – make a light, healthy meal. Increased commercial demand for the fish could help reduce government funds that currently go toward managing the invasive species.

An iconic Christian hymn encourages listeners who may be “tempest-tossed” or otherwise burdened to “Count Your Blessings.”Jenae Nelson, who has conducted research on indebtedness with Brigham Young University professors Dr. Sam Hardy and Dr. Dianne Tice, bolsters this claim. In a yearlong study, Nelson found that recognizing what God has done, and feeling an indebtedness toward Him, doesn't create feelings of obligation, but rather leads to increased overall happiness, well-being and even prosocial behavior. Nelson received her doctorate from Brigham Young University and is now a postdoctoral research fellow at Baylor University and a research affiliate at Harvard University. She joins this episode of the Church News podcast to discuss her research and share how cultivating gratitude and indebtedness can improve a person's life and deepen his or her connection to God. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Consumption of berries, fruits and vegetables and mortality among 10,000 Men Followed for four decades Folkhalsan Research Center (Norway), June 17, 2022 Investigators from Folkhalsan Research Center in Norway found that consumption of berries, fruits and vegetables and mortality among 10,000 Norwegian men followed for four decades "The association between vegetable and fruit consumption and risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been investigated by several studies, whereas fewer studies have examined consumption of vegetables and fruits in relation to all-cause mortality. Studies on berries, a rich source of antioxidants, are rare." "The purpose of the current study was to examine the association between intake of vegetables, fruits and berries (together and separately) and the risk of all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality due to cancer and CVD and subtypes of these, in a cohort with very long follow-up. We used data from a population-based prospective Norwegian cohort study of 10,000 men.  Men who in total consumed vegetables, fruit and berries more than 27 times per month had an 8-10 % reduced risk of all-cause mortality compared with men with a lower consumption. They also had a 20 % reduced risk of stroke mortality. Consumption of fruit was inversely related to overall cancer mortality, with hazard rate ratios of 0.94, 0.84 and 0.79 in the second, third and firth quartile, respectively, compared with the first quartile." According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Increased consumption of vegetables, fruits and berries was associated with a delayed risk of all-cause mortality and of mortality due to cancer and stroke."       UA researchers discover component of cinnamon prevents colorectal cancer in mice University of Arizona, June 15, 2022 Research conducted at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy and the UA Cancer Center indicates that a compound derived from cinnamon is a potent inhibitor of colorectal cancer. Georg Wondrak, Ph.D., recently completed a study in which they proved that adding cinnamaldehyde, the compound that gives cinnamon its distinctive flavor and smell, to the diet of mice protected the mice against colorectal cancer. In response to cinnamaldehyde, the animals' cells had acquired the ability to protect themselves against exposure to a carcinogen through detoxification and repair. Given cinnamon's important status as the third-most-consumed spice in the world,' Wondrak adds, 'there's relatively little research on its potential health benefits. If we can ascertain the positive effects of cinnamon, we would like to leverage this opportunity to potentially improve the health of people around the globe.' Drs. Wondrak and Zhang's study, 'Nrf2-dependent suppression of azoxymethane/dextrane sulfate sodium-induced colon carcinogenesis by the cinnamon-derived dietary factor cinnamaldehyde,' has been published in Cancer Prevention Research later this spring.         Lean tissue benefit of protein supplementation affirmed Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), June 17, 2022.  A “systematic review of systematic reviews” published  in Sports Medicine showed that the addition of protein supplementation to resistance training is associated with a greater increase in lean body mass (body mass minus fat mass) in comparison with resistance training alone.  Researchers in Brazil selected 46 studies in the meta-analyses involved a total of 2,925 men and women over 50 years of age. Supplemented groups received 12 to 40 grams of protein or 3 to 10 grams of amino acids while the control groups received a placebo or no supplementation. Among the 4 meta-analyses that evaluated lean body mass, 3 found a significant increase in association with resistance training plus protein supplementation compared to resistance training without supplementation. There was also a significant benefit for protein supplementation combined with training on muscle mass alone. “It is possible to conclude that protein supplementation associated with resistance training induces greater increases in lean body mass compared with resistance training alone in older participants. In addition, it is suggested that the effect of protein supplementation on lean body mass is extended to the increase in muscle mass, while no additional effect of protein supplementation was observed on muscle strength in older adults.”       Study shows inhaled toxic particles take direct route from lungs to brain University of Birmingham, June 20, 2022 Breathing in polluted air could lead to toxic particles being transported from lungs to brain, via the bloodstream—potentially contributing to brain disorders and neurological damage, a new study reveals. Scientists have discovered a possible direct pathway used by various inhaled fine particles through blood circulation with indications that, once there, the particles stay longer in the brain than in other main metabolic organs. The scientists revealed they had found various fine particles in human cerebrospinal fluids taken from patients who had experienced brain disorders—uncovering a process which may result in toxic particulate substances ending up in the brain. "The data suggests that up to eight times the number of fine particles may reach the brain by traveling, via the bloodstream, from the lungs than pass directly via the nose—adding new evidence on the relationship between air pollution and detrimental effects of such particles on the brain."   Turmeric: A Wellness Promoting Tonic At Low Doses, Research Reveals Ohio State University, June 12, 2022 A study published in the Nutrition Journal   holds great interest among those on the fence about using dietary supplements to improve the quality and perhaps length of their lives, but for which clinical proof is lacking. The study was conducted in healthy middle aged people (40–60 years old) with a low dose of curcumin (80 mg/day) in a fat soluble (lipidated) form.  Two groups of 19 subjects were given either curcumin or placebo for 4 weeks. Blood and saliva samples were taken before and after the 4 weeks and analyzed for the following blood and saliva measures relevant to health promotion The positive results were reported as follows: Curcumin lowered triglycerides, but not cholesterol (note: lowering cholesterol may harm human health). Curcumin increased plasma contents of nitric oxide, a molecule that can work against high blood pressure, as well as lowering plasma concentrations of sICAM, a molecule linked to atherosclerosis. Curcumin raised plasma myeloperoxidase concentrations, without raising C-reactive protein and ceruloplasmin values – a sign of normal and inflammation-related neutrophil function. Curcumin reduced salivary amylase activities, which are an indicator of sympathetic nervous system stress. Curcumin raised salivary radical scavenging capacities, an indicator of reduced oxidative stress.· Curcumin reduced plasma contents of beta amyloid protein, a marker for brain aging and Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin reduced ALT liver enzyme activities, a marker for liver injury.   Natural cocoa consumption: Potential to reduce atherogenic factors? University of North Texas, June 17, 2022 According to news reporting in University of North Texas, research stated, "Short-term consumption of flavanol-rich cocoa has been demonstrated to improve various facets of vascular health. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of 4 weeks of natural cocoa consumption on selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers in young (19-35 years) women of differing body mass indices (BMI)." "Subjects (n=24) consumed a natural cocoa-containing product (12.7 g natural cocoa, 148 kcal/serving) or an isocaloric cocoa-free placebo daily for 4 weeks in a random, double-blind manner with a 2-week washout period between treatment arms.  Natural cocoa consumption resulted in a significant decrease in haptoglobin, EMP concentration and monocyte CD62L in obese compared to overweight and normal-weight subjects. Natural cocoa consumption regardless of BMI group was associated with an 18% increase in high-density lipoprotein and a 60% decrease in EMPs. Also, obese subjects experienced a 21% decrease in haptoglobin and a 24% decrease in monocyte CD62L expression in following 4 weeks of natural cocoa consumption. Collectively, these findings indicate that acute natural cocoa consumption was associated with decreased obesity-related disease risk."

Every organ and every cell in our body absorbs and emits sound with a particular frequency. When two frequencies that resonate at the same vibration meet, the law of resonance comes into action. When that happens one source of frequency is moving energy to the second source of frequency - just like in a forest when one tree moves water to another tree. When we let our body absorb Healing Music, we retune ourselves. We absorb new and fresh energy, from the source of the frequency, which is the unified field, the cosmos. Music creates resonance in our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body. Tune into Relaxation!
