Dr. Schoolwerth 2024:"The FDA has recently approved new vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer that target the KP.2 strains of COVID-19. It’s not clear if this will also be effective against the KP.3 and KP3.1.1 strains but, regardless, we should get these new when they become available soon (unless you’ve had a recent case of COVID, in which case you should wait three months)."

Old news -- Early covid days: Atul Gawande   - Robb   - Weil   - Beale   - bats

Go-to source of advice: Dr. Weil
Admittedly, he's a celebrity doctor, but despite that he had a good solid major, botany, before attending, like our Teun Schoolwerth, Harvard Med School, and one who was early into exploring remedies beyond the tradtional canon. Helps that he's same age we are.

Medical headline to make us put our heads up: "Cold weather kills more people than heat, Illinois study finds" cold.

"If you haven't already, it's time you read up on the many benefits of magnesium. This mineral is a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body that control everything from blood sugar balance and blood pressure regulation to nerve function, DNA synthesis, and energy production." Dark chocolate is on the list of high-magnesium foods. This feels too good to be true: Does chocolate really have a large enough dose of magnesium that it could positively affect your health? Yes, one ounce of dark chocolate contains 64 mg of magnesium—about 15 percent of the RDA.

Very good (long) summary
"Our relationship with exercise is complicated. Reports from the UK and the US show it is something we persistently struggle with. As the new year rolls around, we anticipate having the drive to behave differently and become regular exercisers, even in the knowledge that we will probably fail to do so. Why do we want to exercise? What do we expect it to do for us? We all know we are supposed to be exercising, but hundreds of millions of us can’t face actually doing it. It is just possible the problem lies at the heart of the idea of exercise itself."
Slows aging
"As we age, two forms of exercise are the most important to focus on: [a] aerobic exercise, or cardio, which gets your heart pumping and sweat flowing, and [b] strength training, which helps keep aging muscles from dwindling over time.
And most of the time, they don't require any fancy equipment or expensive classes."
Thighs
". . . active older men’s muscles resemble, at a cellular level, those of 25-year-olds and weather inflammatory damage much better than" those of sedentary individuals. "They measured all of the men’s thighs, as a marker of muscle mass, and took blood and muscle-tissue samples.    They noted immediately that the men’s thigh circumference reflected their ages and lifestyles, with the young athletes sporting the burliest legs, the elderly athletes slightly smaller ones, and the inactive elderly men the spindliest."

Young rats!
Exercise and the human heart -- the latest:    "Scientists long thought that mammalian hearts stop producing most of their new cells shortly after birth, and that when they grow bigger, they do so primarily because the size of their existing cells increases. A recent study in The Journal of Physiology, however, confirms that exercise can substantially increase the number of cells in the hearts of young lab rats — and it also indicates, for the first time, that these additional cells are still present in mature hearts."
Stent v. lifestyle changes
Article shows that there's no difference in outcome between those treated with stents and those treated with lifestyle change and medical therapy.

Yoga
"It is an excellent muscle toner that balances all parts of the body. It increases flexibility and is a good practice for anyone with chronic back pain. In addition to promoting muscular health, yoga has definite beneficial effects on the nervous system. It leads to deep relaxation and is a powerful stress reducer and is used as a relaxation technique.
You can learn yoga from books, but it is easier to learn it from a teacher. Yoga classes are widely available through health clubs, community centers, and universities. You can practice on your own once you learn the basics, and you do not need to spend any specified amount of time at it."
