Processed meats are linked to cancer - they have even been labeled as a Group 1 carcinogen by WHO.
But this new study suggests that the high levels of nitrites in processed meats may increase cancer rather than the processed meat itself.

It's time to get rid of nitrites in processed meats.
Nitrites are preservatives that form nitrosamines - which are carcinogens.
A new animal study found that mice fed processed meat containing nitrites developed 75% more tumors than those fed processed meat without nitrite.

Exercise intensity may determine which brain regions are affected during a workout.
Low-intensity exercise activated brain regions involved in cognition & attention while high-intensity activated mood/emotion regions and dampened motor function networks.

Deliberate cold exposure, deliberate heat exposure & cyclic hyperventilation each have been shown to cause:
1) increases in dopamine release
2) cortisol reduction
3) mitochondrial activation
These are all triggered by the same event: acute increases in adrenaline.

It’s often said that the best athletes are actually the greatest compensators. I’d add that the most durable athletes are typically the ones that spread this compensatory stress over multiple joints instead of all in one place. Movement variability allows for adjustability.

A high-protein breakfast may be better at increasing muscle mass and grip strength than a high-protein dinner (human & animal data).
This may have to do with the day-night circadian variations in digestion and absorption as well as metabolism of amino acids in skeletal muscle.
Protein-rich breakfast may help sustain muscle mass in humans.
Night active rodents build muscle when fed a protein rich diet in the evening.
This time-of-day effect of diet on muscle is abolished in mice lacking a circadian clock. @CellReports

With respect to inseason strength training, the industry typically overvalues its role in maintaining maximal strength, and usually underestimates its value in preserving motor control in existing/increasing ROM and supporting endocrine function.

The maternal immune system may be involved in the development of autism.
The odds of a mother having a child with autism is 31 times greater if autoantibodies that bind to fetal brain proteins are found in her blood during pregnancy.

Interesting: fruit flies fed intermittently only live longer if they have a functioning circadian (sleep/wake) clock in internal organs. Perhaps fasting is less about hunger and more about resetting our internal clocks. tinyurl.com/y9mddhl5
