Oh Well

 

Decisive..

 

Arizona, famous for its extended post-election ballot count, on Saturday became the last state in the nation called in the 2024 presidential race. The Associated Press, CNN and NBC on Saturday affirmed that Republican Donald Trump won the state.

The news means Trump has completed a sweep of all seven battleground states, locking in a decisive Electoral College victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

The state's 11 electoral votes give Trump 312 votes. Vice President Kamala Harris ended up with 226.

Done..

 

What have we done?

MMMMMMMMee

 

In a call organized by the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino, Biden on Tuesday responded to a comic at Trump’s rally who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” Biden’s initial comments were garbled.

“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell you something, I don’t, I don’t know the Puerto Rican that I know, the Puerto Rico where I’m fr -- in my home state of Delaware. They’re good, decent honorable people,” he said.

The president then added: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”...

Deli Meat..

 

Deli meats, while convenient, are highly processed and carry potential health risks you should be aware of.

"Deli meat is unhealthy," Samantha Cassetty, a registered dietitian says. "It is a processed meat, and there is very good evidence that processed meat carries the risk of certain forms of cancer."

Processed deli meats contain nitrates and nitrites, preservatives that help extend shelf life and enhance flavor. These additives can convert into potentially harmful compounds known as nitrosamines, which some studies have found to be carcinogenic, or cancer-causing.

For instance, a 2022 study published by the National Library of Medicine found that high consumers of nitrates had a higher risk of breast cancer, and high consumers of nitrites were at a greater risk for prostate cancer.

Many deli meats, such as salami, bologna and pepperoni, are also high in saturated fats, which, according to registered dietitian "are linked to things like higher risk of cancer, higher risk of heart disease, higher cholesterol and higher blood pressure."

Cinnamon..

 Cinnamon may help lower blood sugar and reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes. It may do this by imitating insulin and increasing insulin sensitivity. 

Cinnamon may also reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. 

Furthermore, cinnamon may help protect neurons, maintain normal motor function, and normalize neurotransmitter levels. Compounds in cinnamon may also inhibit the buildup of tau, a protein linked to Alzheimer's disease. 

Cinnamon contains minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium which are beneficial for maintaining bone health and a healthy heart rhythm. Some research also indicates cinnamon might have anti-viral properties against certain viruses like influenza and Dengue fever.

A recent study found something strange: When mice with Alzheimer's disease inhale menthol, their cognitive abilities improve.

It seems the chemical compound can stop some of the damage done to the brain that's usually associated with the disease.

We have focused on the olfactory system's role in the immune and central nervous systems, and we have confirmed that menthol is an immunostimulatory odor in animal models," said immunologist Juan José Lasarte from the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) in Spain when the results were released.

"But, surprisingly, we observed that short exposures to this substance for six months prevented cognitive decline in the mice with Alzheimer's and also improved the cognitive ability of healthy young mice."

A medical expert has revealed how individuals can reduce their cholesterol levels without relying on statins.  

Dr Roberto Lobelo, a cardiac specialist, emphasized the importance of regular exercise and noted: "The AHA (American Heart Association) recommends that all adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise, or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise, per week. That can include walking, swimming, lifting weights, dancing or whatever else you enjoy and can do without injury."

Diet is equally crucial, with specialists advocating for the portfolio diet detailed by Andrea Glenn, a nutrition researcher at New York University, to include "soy products like tofu and other plant-based proteins like beans, lentils and chickpeas; viscous-fibre-containing foods like oats, barley, psyllium husk, berries, apples and citrus fruits; nuts and seeds; avocado; and healthy plant-based oils like canola oil and olive oil." This regime has been shown to significantly decrease cholesterol.

Statin..

 

In a recent study conducted by researchers from Hong Kong, evidence has emerged suggesting that your cholesterol medication could help to prevent Alzheimer's disease. The researchers found that statins, a commonly used medication to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease, may have a significant impact on reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The study sheds light on the potential neuroprotective effects of statins and their role in slowing down the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong conducted a study analyzing data from over 104,000 individuals with heart failure. The study focused on the use of statins and its association with dementia risk, including Alzheimer's disease.

The results of the study revealed a compelling link between statin use and a reduced risk of dementia. Individuals using statins had a 20% lower risk of incident dementia compared to non-users. Specifically, statin use was associated with a 28% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, highlighting the potential of statins in mitigating the progression of this debilitating condition. These findings underscore the significance of exploring alternative treatment avenues for Alzheimer's disease.
