Perhaps living with type 2 diabetes doesn’t have to be so permanent after all. @sciencefocus has more, including what causes the disease, how to put it in remission (and keep it there), and more:
what is #propaganda? how does it really work? how does it affect your #brain, #body, #health, #will, #emotions, #life? why do we #doomscroll and retract to #memes , trying to #protect our #wellbeing? is the latter really as #beneficial as we #believe? #think again.
this 9 minutes video is well #worth #mustwatch.

'Strong muscles start in the gut'
"Aging naturally weakens our muscles, but researchers at Leiden University Medical Center and the Universities of Granada and Almería have found a gut bacterium that may help turn the tide. Their findings, now published in the scientific journal Gut, show that Roseburia inulinivorans is linked to stronger muscles in both people and mice."
"Older adults who carried this bacterium had 29 percent stronger handgrip strength than those who didn’t.” In young adults, higher levels of Roseburia inulinivorans were associated with stronger muscles and better overall fitness."
"After clearing the mice’s gut bacteria using antibiotics, they introduced human strains of Roseburia inulinivorans for eight weeks. […] The mice became 30 percent stronger, developed larger muscle fibers and produced more fast‑twitch fibers, the kind needed for quick, powerful movements."
"The team also found that the bacterium changed how the muscles used certain building blocks and activated energy‑related pathways inside the muscle. “These metabolic changes may help explain why the muscles grew stronger"
"Another key observation is that levels of Roseburia inulinivorans naturally decline with age. “This could partly explain why muscle strength drops as we get older"

'Tackling air pollution should be part of government work to cut cancer rates, scientists say'
"Cutting air pollution should form part of government strategies to reduce cancer rates, the European Code Against Cancer has recommended.
The code previously focused on advice to help people to reduce the air pollution that they breathe. But, for the first time since its launch in 1987, it has given clear direction to governments."
"With home woodburning increasing, the code calls on governments to discourage and phase out solid fuels for heating, cooking and recreation. It also calls for incentives for the installation of home energy systems that do not pollute, such as heat pumps, solar power and geothermal energy.
Jochems added: “It is also important to make air quality information easily available, involve communities in local plans and protect vulnerable groups, for example around schools and care settings.”

Vision does not come automatically after sight restoration. In fact, when people born blind gain sight, the hardest part isn’t opening their eyes — it’s teaching the brain how to see. @BigThink@flipboard.com tells us how newly sighted people build a visual world:
🇨🇱 LockBit 5.0 has now published all the information from Clínica Dávila (http://davila.cl). Remember that this medical institution was attacked by the Devman ransomware back in December last year. It appears that Devman sold a portion of the data to LockBit.
Now the question that arises: Has Clínica Dávila individually notified each patient about the attack it suffered from Devman back in December last year?
