Exercise 🏊🏽‍♂️ helps #ageing muscles perform an important internal cleanup, making it easier for them to maintain healthy tissue and recover from damage. Exercise does more than stimulate muscles 💪 to grow stronger. According to research findings, #physicalactivity can also help restore the cellular maintenance system that becomes disrupted during aging. The researchers found that exercise activates regulatory proteins that reduce DEAF1 levels. This helps return mTORC1 activity to a healthier balance, allowing #muscle cells to remove damaged proteins while continuing to produce the new proteins they need. dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2508…

A Case Brief on the recent High Court ruling (HSO & 3 Others v DPP & 6 Others, Petition No. 27 of 2020 [2026] KEHC 6906) on Consensual Adolescent Relationships in Kenya. The High Court did declare the application of sections 8, 9 and 11 of the Sexual Offences Act to consensual, non‑coercive and non‑exploitative sexual conduct between adolescents of close age proximity as inconsistent with Articles 27, 28, 31, 43 and 53. The court directed police and prosecutors to differentiate consensual peer relationships from coercion or exploitation, ordered the ODPP to gazette prosecutorial guidelines, required police protocols to be aligned with constitutional rights, and suspended two criminal cases involving consensual adolescent conduct. #AdolescentJusticeKE

A seed doesn't need permission to grow, just safe soil. Girls are the same. Safe ground is built by everyone, and boys and men are allies, not bystanders. Protect, respect, speak up. I Am Peace. Peace Begins With Me! #IAmPeace #PeaceBeginsWithMe

Industrially produced trans fat (iTFA) is one major CVDs. WHO attributes more than 278,000 deaths globally each year to industrially produced trans fat and notes that it increases the risk of heart attacks and death. #WorldHeartDay #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC

Countries across the Western Pacific and South-East Asia are accelerating action to integrate essential oral health care into universal health coverage through the 100-Day Sprint. At the Sprint’s midpoint, national #OralHealth leaders have gathered in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, for the 16th Asian Chief Dental Officers Meeting, where countries are refining essential oral health benefit packages and identifying practical ways to translate policy commitments into sustainable country action. Together, WHO regional and country leaders underscore why this work matters — and what it will take to accelerate progress towards universal health coverage for oral health. #UniversalHealthCoverage #PrimaryHealthCare
