Cold plunges actually change your cells
Ever wondered what happens to your body when you take those trendy ice baths? Scientists at the University of Ottawa just found out, and it’s pretty fascinating.
Cold water immersion for seven days significantly improves cellular resilience and autophagic function, helping cells manage stress better. This adaptation could enhance health and longevity, potentially preventing diseases and slowing aging at a cellular level.

People who received a flu shot this winter were MORE likely to get the flu
This research is only the latest to suggest that flu shots simply do not work — and that any observational studies that seem to show their effectiveness are fatally flawed by what researchers called healthy vaccinee bias. (People who are vaccinated are historically healthier, more health-conscious, and more fearful of contagious illness and thus more likely to avoid situations where they might become infected than those who are not.)
Nationwide data is equally troubling.
As I reported in 2022, the number of flu shots has risen almost 15-fold in the United States since 1980, yet flu deaths have only increased. The Centers for Disease Control now says this year’s flu season might have been the deadliest in decades, with up to 130,000 deaths.
The media has been loathe to report that ugly number, since doing so might raise questions about both the effectiveness of flu jabs and whether Covid mRNA shots may have somehow damaged the immune systems of people who received them. At best, though, that figure suggests nothing we’re doing about the flu is working.

One serving of greens daily slows brain aging by over a decade
Is memory loss and decreased brain power inevitable as we age? Many people in their 40s, 50s and beyond are told that it is and there is nothing that can be done about it. Is that true? Of course not. Steps can be taken to not only stop memory loss, but also reverse it. Here is a simple step. New research from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that eating just one serving of leafy green vegetables a day takes a decade off an aging brain. Two servings produced even greater effects. I explain how below.
There is considerable evidence that diets that are high in green leafy vegetables; highly-colored vegetables such as carrots, yams, and squash; and flavonoid-rich fruits like citrus, berries, and cherries are associated with prevention of age-related memory decline and Alzheimer’s disease. In particular, two large studies have shown that the consumption of green leafy vegetables, including spinach, kale, collards, and lettuce, had the strongest association with slowing down cognitive decline due to aging.
The hidden link between vitamins and hair loss
When hair thins or falls out more than normal, it’s often a signal that you’re low on some key nutrients. Nutrients like vitamins D, B12 and A, and iron, keep your hair looking full and healthy. If you don’t get enough, your locks could suffer as a result.
- Vitamin deficiencies often cause hair loss, with nutrients like vitamins D, B12, A and iron playing key roles in maintaining healthy hair growth cycles
- Vitamin D supports hair follicle development, while B vitamins help produce keratin — the protein that forms hair structure
- Iron carries oxygen to hair follicles; deficiency causes poor growth, but too much is also harmful, with ideal serum ferritin levels being 20 to 40 ng/mL
- Vitamin A regulates scalp health through sebum production; both deficiency and excess cause hair problems like dryness or thinning
- A nutrient-rich whole foods diet is the best approach to addressing vitamin-related hair loss, with supplement used only when necessary after proper testing

Quote of the Day
“The key to success is going to bed a little smarter each day.” – Warren Buffett, Investor (born 1930)
Slim down without exercise? The NEAT effect explained
- Fidgeting and everyday movements contribute to non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), which is the energy your body uses for activities other than formal exercise, sleeping and eating; it helps maintain a healthy weight
- These small movements aren’t just nervous habits but your body’s natural response to being sedentary for too long
- Fidgeting improves focus and cognitive performance, making it especially beneficial for people with ADHD or attention challenges
- Research shows fidgeting while sitting burns up to 30% more calories than staying completely still, contributing to better metabolic health
- Simple workplace adjustments like standing desks, walking during calls or using fidget toys significantly increase your daily NEAT
Picture this: you’re stuck at your desk, your leg bouncing under the table, or you’re clicking your pen during a long phone call. You might think it’s just a nervous habit, but what if those wiggles are secretly boosting your health? Fidgeting — those little movements you can’t seem to stop — along with everyday actions like standing or pacing, do wonders for you.
These actions fall under a concept called non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT. In simple terms, NEAT is all the energy your body burns from anything other than sleeping, eating or intentional exercise. These small moves burn calories, lift your mood and even sharpen your focus.
(Tom: I think the author of this article, and the authors of the cited studies, are missing a major reason that people fidget when reading or listening, they are unconsciously struggling to resist the effects of having read or heard a word for which they do not have the appropriate definition.)
Princely Giving
In late 2011, Prince Rogers Nelson walked into Capitol Guitars, a modest music store in St. Paul, Minnesota. Dressed in dark shades and an overcoat, he browsed quietly, barely speaking. The staff recognized him instantly but chose to respect his silence. He pointed at a few guitars, asked about the tonal difference between maple and mahogany, and then paused when the owner mentioned a recent conversation with a local teacher. The teacher had said that students at Anwatin Middle School in Minneapolis were losing access to their music program due to severe budget cuts.
Prince nodded slightly and left without purchasing anything.
Three days later, a delivery truck arrived at Capitol Guitars. Prince had returned but not to shop. Instead, he gave the owner a handwritten list and a simple instruction: “Everything on this list, pack it and deliver it to Anwatin.” The list included guitars, drum sets, violins, keyboards, amps, microphones, and recording equipment. When the owner asked if the instruments should be marked with a donor name or message, Prince replied, “No names. No credit. Just send love.”
The delivery created confusion at the school. Teachers and administrators at Anwatin Middle School had no advance notice, and the delivery slip listed only a phone number that led to a private voicemail. Music teacher Kenneth Simms opened the shipment, stunned by the quality and quantity of the instruments. He assumed it was a mistake. It took several days of asking around and comparing handwriting on the note that came with the shipment before a staff member connected it to Prince, who had visited the store days earlier.
When a friend later asked him about it, Prince said, “That’s between me and the kids. Not for headlines.” He declined to make any public statement or appear at the school. According to Minneapolis-based journalist Jon Bream from “Star Tribune”, even the school district wasn’t formally notified. They only learned about the donor’s identity after teachers pieced the story together.
Those close to Prince knew his silent generosity wasn’t a one-time impulse. During his early years growing up on the north side of Minneapolis, he often spoke about the importance of music education. His mother, Mattie Shaw, was a jazz singer and heavily involved in the local music scene. Prince once said in a 1999 interview with “Ebony”, “If I hadn’t had access to a piano when I was seven, I don’t know who I would’ve become. Music wasn’t a hobby, it was a lifeline.”
Former bandmate Sheila E. recalled in her 2014 memoir “The Beat of My Own Drum” how Prince frequently funded youth centers and music camps without telling anyone. “He believed in giving kids a chance to create,” she wrote. “He didn’t want applause. He wanted them to play.”
At Anwatin, the new instruments transformed the energy of the school. Simms recalled how students began coming to class early just to practice. A hallway that once echoed with silence after the final bell now hummed with guitar riffs, drumbeats, and laughter. “We didn’t just get instruments,” Simms told “MinnPost” in 2012, “we got hope.”
Store owner Alan Geller, who kept the receipt from Prince’s bulk order tucked in his office drawer, shared later that the musician didn’t even ask for a discount. “He said, ‘Charge full price. They deserve the best.’”
For Prince, who had often used his wealth to quietly support causes tied to youth empowerment, the act wasn’t about visibility. His friend Van Jones later commented during an interview with “CNN”, “He believed that if you help a kid find their rhythm, they might avoid chaos. He never needed a stage for that.”
The donation never became a national headline. There were no photo ops or ceremonies. But in a city where music had once saved a young boy from the streets, it was returned, quietly, to the next generation. Prince gave them music when theirs had been taken away and never asked for anything in return.
How Big Fluoride Tries to Prevent Towns From Removing Fluoride
Washburn, North Dakota’s town commissioners voted Monday night to stop fluoridating the town’s water supply. But in the months leading up to what the commissioners thought would be a small-town, local debate, the commissioners uncovered a federally funded, coordinated lobbying scheme by state actors and a national fluoride lobby group to crush efforts by small towns like theirs to stop fluoridating their water supplies.
