Asset...

Democratic presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard has filed a defamation suit against Hillary Clinton for calling her a “Russian asset,” according to newly filed court papers.

“Tulsi Gabbard is running for President of the United States, a position Clinton has long coveted, but has not been able to attain,”  Manhattan federal lawsuit reads. “In October 2019 — whether out of personal animus, political enmity, or fear of real change within a political party Clinton and her allies have long dominated, Clinton lied about her perceived rival Tulsi Gabbard. She did so publicly, unambiguously, and with obvious malicious intent.”

The former secretary of state has refused to walk back comments she made during an Oct. 17 appearance on a podcast, in which she referred to the Hawaii congresswoman as a “favorite of the Russians.”

Fitness...

The study investigated 23 cognitively normal, relatively young older adults with a family history or genetic risk for Alzheimer Disease . All patients had a sedentary lifestyle.

They underwent a battery of assessments, including cardiorespiratory fitness testing, measurement of daily physical activity, brain glucose metabolism imaging (a measure of neuronal health), and cognitive function tests.

Half of the participants were to receive information. The other half participated in a moderate intensity treadmill training program with a personal trainer, three times per week for 26 weeks.

The participants’ improved cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with increased brain glucose metabolism in the posterior cingulate cortex, an area of the brain linked to Alzheimer Disease.

Methionine...

A new study has found that a relatively simple diet tweak may help protect high-risk individuals from the harmful inflammatory response caused by an over-active immune system. 

Though it didn’t prevent the condition, the study found that eliminating certain foods could potentially slow the onset and progression of autoimmune disorders, which range from things like psoriasis all the way to deadly conditions like multiple sclerosis.

This immune response involves a type of cell called T cells that are fueled by the amino acid methionine. This amino acid is acquired by eating certain foods, meaning if you don’t eat those foods, your levels of methionine will decrease. Because the amino acid is found in basically all foods, it is not possible to completely eliminate it from your diet.

However, the study notes that eggs, meat, and other animal products have the highest amounts of methionine, meaning that a diet eliminating these foods will reduce the amount of methionine available to fuel the overactive immune cells.
