Risky! Walking downstairs is more dangerous for young women than others for key reasons, said study

Aug 4, 2023

[Editor: Not only young women, I can attest to that!] 🙂

After analyzing 2,400 young adults, either on the short staircase (52% of whom were women) or the long staircase (29% of whom were women), the researchers discovered eight risky behaviors that the young people practiced: 

  1. not using a handrail
  2. not watching the stairs while descending
  3. wearing sandals, flip-flops or high heels
  4. having a conversation with another person or on a smartphone
  5. using an electronic device
  6. keeping hands in pockets
  7. holding something
  8. skipping steps

Four men lost their balance on the long staircase, while one woman did so on the short staircase, but all recovered.

Covid Lockdown & U.S. War Machine Is Killing The U.S. Middle Class

Aug 1, 2023

What can American politicians do to restore the middle class in this country? The first step, says Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is to stop warmongering all over the globe, spending countless billions on weaponry, building military bases and “flexing our muscle” in every corner of the planet.

Jimmy talks to RFK Jr. about where the $800+ billion a year in “defense” spending could better be spent.

Study finds how micronutrient in human breast milk linked to newborns’ brain development

“As a neuroscientist, it’s intriguing to me how profound the effects of micronutrients are on the brain,” says Biederer. “It’s also amazing how complex and rich human breast milk is, and I now think it is conceivable that its composition is dynamically changing to support different stages of infant brain development.”

Sally B. Went Starch-Based and Healed Painful Arthritis & More

I was in a wheelchair with arthritis when I found [McDougall’s] starch-based eating lifestyle. I gave up dairy totally, began going vegan and within 3 weeks, I was able to walk. I had arthritis in my fingers so much so, typing was difficult. My hands are now useful again.

[…]

My husband would not follow my lead into being vegan even though he saw how much I thrived. The last year he worked while getting ready for retirement, he was having trouble with having to urinate frequently at night. He went to a urologist at Kaiser Permanente and was diagnosed with prostate cancer and it was stage 4! He had robotic-aided surgery and it was successful. It was terrible pain for him. I insisted he now try the food I was cooking for myself, it really does taste good and now there are two vegans who live more happily than ever before as we feel so well now all the time.

[…]

My oldest and our youngest son, won’t talk to their vegan parents — they’re so in love with MEAT. Fortunately, our middle son is a great man who has twin boys, with his sweet wife or my heart would just break. Believe me, I know about coping with rejection and sadness but you really do not get used to it.

[…]

My mother and sister both died of breast cancer. I nursed our 3 boys and even though I was eating like every other fool in this country, the cancer did not come my way. I think God knew I had enough on my plate with the hyperhidrosis and am most thankful for that. 

[…]

I would have given anything to have been raised vegetarian! But I am now. My husband Jim may not have even been alive either if he hadn’t changed his diet. Three other men where he worked had prostate cancer who retired about the same time as my husband. They chose chemo and radiation with no change of diet. All were dead within 6 months. My husband does get tested annually for PSA and has not had one bad test. I take no meds and Jim is slowly weaning off his blood pressure pill.
