Of >105,000 participants with 30-year follow-up, only 9.3% achieved healthy aging (age 70, w/o any chronic diseases). Their diet was significantly associated with this outcome🧵 @NatureMedicine

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is like "miracle grow" for your brain, supporting neuron growth and boosting cognition. A single workout increases BDNF, and regular exercise enhances it even more. Here’s how to maximize BDNF using exercise 🧵 1/9

If you have a lousy nights sleep you’re better off exercising than not. It offsets some of the negative effects. But don’t make it a habit to get lousy sleep and use exercise as a means to compensate. Get what you need to feel rested. Sleep tool kit below (zero cost no signup).

#HIIT is safe for cardiac conditions. Even ADLs may be ‘vigorous activity’ for people who are deconditioned. Great overview of the evidence and clinical recommendations by @jenna_taylor023 for @ESSA_NEWS!

💡Physical activity can improve mental well-being, serving as an effective way to reduce anxiety and depression. The holiday season can be exhausting and mentally draining, so even on days that you’re not feeling up for a workout session, try a light exercise routine and make it a priority. Notice if you feel better afterward! 🌲

Most abused inflammatory markers - ESR and CRP ‼️ ✅ESR- Indirect measure of acute phase response,changes slowly, frequent measurements are not useful,extremely High (>100mm/h) has a 90% PPV of inflammation. ✅CRP - Direct measure of acute phase response, values change rapidly, daily measurements can be useful. Although these markers are sensitive indicators of inflammation, neither is very specific ‼️ Clinical context is important. #MedTwitter #MedX #MedEdu

📣 This morning, @GMA reported on a “a new device just cleared by the FDA that could be a game-changer for the 300,000 Americans with spinal cord injury.” 📺 That device is ARC-EX. @ABC correspondent Will Reeve, son of Christopher Reeve, called ARC-EX a “breakthrough for people living with spinal cord injury,” and invoked his deep ties to the spinal cord injury (SCI) community by providing context on this historic event. ⭐️ “Progress in spinal cord injury research is usually measured in decades,” said Reeve, “so this is a long time coming. And to be able to say this is here and getting out to people who need it is a big moment.” Will interviewed Up-LIFT trial principal investigator and University of Washington professor and neuroscientist Dr. Chet Moritz about our technology. The story centered around trial participant Jessie Owen aka @itswheelyjess, whose life transformed in every way from this therapy. 🙏 Thank you, GMA and ABC News for shining a light on the longstanding unmet needs of the SCI Community and showing how a device like ARC-EX can, in Will’s words, offer “a new level of freedom and hope.” As Jessie told Will – “The future of spinal cord injury treatment is being written right now. This is the moment. And this provides the hope and the stepping stone to start that journey.” ✨ #EmpoweringMovement #SCI #GMA #Hope #Freedom Note: The ARC-EX System is intended to deliver programmed, transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation in conjunction with functional task practice in the clinic to improve hand sensation and strength in individuals between 18 and 75 years old that present with a chronic, non-progressive neurological deficit resulting from an incomplete spinal cord injury (C2-C8 inclusive). Please note that all other ONWARD Medical devices and therapies, including ARC-IM®, ARC-BCI®, and ARC Therapy™ with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), are investigational and not commercially approved. Patient testimonials reflect individual experiences and outcomes, which may vary. Please review the full product label and clinical study data.  goodmorningamerica.com/welln…
