What’s the point of sticking around longer if you can’t actually live life? Building and maintaining strength and mobility helps preserve the independence you need to age with dignity …
… bone density decreases about 1% annually … Men experience a roughly 1% annual decline.
Your body can’t make the calcium it needs, not just for bones and teeth but also heart, muscle and nerve function. If you’re not consuming enough, your body will raid the reserves in your skeleton to meet its requirements.
Whole foods are the best sources for calcium, with supplementation as a secondary option.
Adults need 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams of calcium daily.
Chronic inflammation accelerates joint deterioration. Anti-inflammatory nutrition taken in through diet and supplements like omega-3 fatty acids and curcumin, for example, can help ease symptoms like pain and swelling.
Just as we lose muscle and bone mass with age, we also lose our ability to balance. Practice intentionally throwing yourself off balance a little bit so your body must work to find its equilibrium again.
If jumping hurts your knees, focus on other kinds of conditioning like shallow squats

By challenging and disregarding, in letter or in spirit, this slew of 1970s laws, Trump is essentially closing the 50-year post-Watergate chapter of American history — and ushering in a new era of shaky guardrails and blurred separation of powers.
“We didn’t envision this,” Holtzman said. “We saw Nixon doing it, but he hadn’t done it on this vast a scale. Trump is saying, ‘Congress cannot tell me what to do about anything.’”
In 1976, for example, Congress created a 10-year term for FBI directors; Trump has forced out two FBI directors. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 aimed to prevent presidents from dismantling agencies; Trump has essentially done just that. Lawmakers in 1978 installed independent inspectors general in government offices; Trump has fired many of them and is seeking to replace them with loyalists.
Trump has also disregarded post-Watergate safeguards intended to prevent the unjustified firings of federal workers. His U.S. DOGE Service has skirted rules on government secrecy and personal data. He has declared numerous emergencies despite Congress’s efforts to rein them in.
This broad rejection of the post-Watergate laws underlines the country’s shift from an era focused on clean government and strict ethics to the rise of a president whose appeal stems in part from his willingness to violate such rules and constraints. Contrary to cooperation and consensus?
The study used data from the UK Biobank- a health database of over half a million people - to compare 1,455 ME/CFS patients with 131,000 healthy individuals.
The research showed the results were mostly unaffected by activity levels.
ME stands for myalgic encephalomyelitis and is also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
The main feature of the condition is post-exertion malaise (PEM) - a delayed and dramatic worsening of fatigue that comes after minor physical or mental effort.
The results were replicated afterwards using data from the US.
We see people's ME/CFS in their blood.
He said the evidence should "dispel any lingering perception that ME/CFS is caused by deconditioning and exercise intolerance". BBC.com 2025jun21A8am “Chronic fatigue is not in your head, it's in your blood - experts.” Therefore Harv asks “What can he do to keep his blood fresh?”
“With a very small brain, a very small nervous system, (the moths) are able to harness two relatively complex cues and not only detect them, but also use them to work out where to go," Warrant added. Thus Harv should be able to navigate retirement.
"And I think that just adds a piece to the growing consensus that the insects have quite remarkable abilities and are truly amazing creatures." https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/20/science/bogong-moth-star-navigation
Surging ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic are expected to fuel a summer of higher-than-average humidity across eastern states, including the nation’s capital.
