The best energy drink you are missing out on!


Welcome to the healthiest corner of the internet.


In today’s newsletter, I debunk a piece of popular news about pregnancy that filled the tabloids last week and the best free energy drink in the market. (Hint: You just have to listen to it.)

Curious? Read on below:


Truth or BS: Does pregnancy age you faster?

Recently, media outlets were filled with dozens and dozens of stories about two studies suggesting that pregnancy accelerates aging.

Now we know how the headlines work.

They just want to grab attention and do not inspire further inspection.

The findings are not as straightforward as they seem.

One study analyzed blood markers in pregnant and non-pregnant women and concluded that pregnancy might accelerate aging. However, a separate study found that these aging indicators reversed after pregnancy.

Three months postpartum, women exhibited signs of being younger on a cellular level or showed no signs of accelerated aging. In short, the indicators were temporary.

Pregnancy undoubtedly brings about significant physiological changes in women. However, it appears that these shifts are temporary and may even reverse after childbirth.

It's important to note that both studies utilized epigenetic clocks to assess aging, which are algorithms designed to estimate the relative age of cells. While epigenetic clocks are a valuable tool for researchers studying aging theories, their interpretation is still in its early stages.

You do not fully understand how epigenetic age relates to biological age or whether a lower epigenetic age correlates with improved health or longevity.

Many leading aging researchers caution against using epigenetic clocks for personal health assessments because their implications for lifespan and health span are not yet clear.

Instead, they remain primarily a tool for researchers seeking to deepen their understanding of the aging process.

In summary, while the studies on pregnancy and aging raise intriguing questions, the use of epigenetic clocks in this context requires further research and caution in interpretation.

The best free energy drink

 

Starting the day with music is a normal routine for many.

But this music will give you a better boost than your favorite cup of coffee.

Studies indicate that music selection and exposure can positively boost cognitive and physical performance.

Both in and out of fitness settings.

While many individuals, enjoy listening to music only during exercise, its benefits extend beyond the gymnasium. Upbeat music, often characterized by a tempo ranging from 170 to 180 beats per minute, has been shown to enhance energy levels.

Furthermore, actively engaging with the music, such as singing or tapping along, can further amplify this effect, despite potential social perceptions.

It also goes beyond its energizing properties. Music has been found to alleviate feelings of fatigue, enhance mood, and contribute to a more enjoyable exercise experience. Interestingly, different tempos may be more suitable for specific activities. For instance, music, ranging from 120 to 150 beats per minute, is found to be optimal for weightlifting.

If you want to experience the effects of this research first-hand, try listening to this playlist first thing in the morning, or when you go for your morning run.

However, the extra boost will not likely last long, but it would give you the short-term jolt that you need, without any addiction to any substance.
