The researchers tested a large group of adults aged 60 and older, looking at whether daily MVM supplements or a placebo had any impact over 2 years. They found that those who took the MVM supplements showed a small but significant improvement in their memory compared to the placebo group. Even more interestingly, when they combined data from three different studies, they found that MVM supplements had clear benefits for overall brain function and memory. These results not only give us some ideas for preventing memory loss in older adults, but also have important implications for public health and aging populations.   [Why Women Need To Get Serious About Strength]( "Start lifting heavy things now." That's the call to action in Dr. Jaime Seeman's TEDx talk on why women need to get serious about strength. With her motivating story, she describes what made her realize the urgency of her health, debunks common resistance-training myths about women, and reminds us that it's never too late to start strength training. Click the link above to watch this fun, information-packed talk, which might be what you need to make resistance training a consistent practice.   [Autoimmune Diseases Like Lupus, MS, and Rheumatoid Arthritis Strike Far More Women Than Men. Scientists Now Think They Know Why]( New research from Stanford University reveals a potential explanation for why women are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases than men, focusing on the role of the extra X chromosome in females. The study, published in Cell, demonstrates how a molecule found only in women may trigger the immune system. By uncovering these mechanisms, the research offers insights that could lead to better detection and treatment of autoimmune disorders, offering a new perspective on the longstanding mystery of why these diseases disproportionately affect women. The findings suggest a promising avenue for further research and potentially even interventions to interrupt the autoimmune process in the future.   Love, JJ   P.S.
