Noetel et al, BMJ 2024, "Effect of exercise for depression: systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials." 218 trials, 14,170 participants. Walking, strength training, and mixed aerobic all showed effect sizes comparable to SSRIs.

I did intermittent fasting in the past, & all I got was this lousy eating disorder & huge risk of death. A study of over 20,000 adults found that those who followed an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule, a type of intermittent fasting, had a 91% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

Creatine may be one of the most misunderstood supplements. The science now reaches well beyond muscle growth, with research into healthy ageing, brain health, cognitive performance, bone health, and physical function. https://www.aukihenry.com/2026/06/the-new-case-for-creatine.html

Recent studies indicate that creatine, typically used for muscle growth, significantly benefits brain health. Research shows it crosses the blood-brain barrier to boost cognitive performance, aid depression treatment, and potentially slow Alzheimer’s decline by up to 30 percent.

Honest caveat: this is a mouse study. The mechanism is elegant, but no human trial has shown that a 15-PGDH inhibitor protects muscle in people on GLP-1s. Lifestyle is still the foundation: resistance training plus ~1.6 g/kg of protein remains the proven way to keep muscle on these drugs. (4/6)

The Real Science: A 2017 study in Obesity found 20-minute HIIT sessions burned more fat than 40-minute steady-state cardio. EPOC (afterburn effect) keeps metabolism elevated for hours after a short workout. Muscle protein synthesis peaks within 30–45 minutes of resistance training. Longer […]

🍎 Heart disease linked to diet? New 2026 study reveals 4M+ IHD deaths annually tied to poor nutrition. Key culprits: low nuts/seeds, whole grains, fruits + high salt. Good news: death rates dropped 44% since 1990! 📉 Small diet changes = big impact. 💚more: https://huahinservices.blogspot.com/2026/04/global-regional-and-national-burden-of.html
