Getting enough protein, pairing it with strength training and fixing low vitamin D are the best supported diet steps for keeping muscle as we age.
Losing muscle with age, called sarcopenia, affects somewhere between 6% and 22% of adults over 65 and is a leading driver of disability. Earlier trials have shown that food can help. A 2018 analysis of 49 trials with 1,863 adults found that adding protein to a strength training program built about 5.5 extra pounds of strength on a one-rep lift and about two thirds of a pound of extra lean mass, with no further gain above about 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight a day. The PROVIDE trial in 380 older adults who already had sarcopenia found that a whey protein drink with vitamin D, taken twice a day for 13 weeks, added a small amount of muscle and made getting up from a chair about 1 second faster than a placebo drink.
Those studies tested single approaches. A new review has now ranked the whole range of diet strategies for adults 60 and older. The authors searched studies published from 2010 to April 2026 and included 248, among them 100 randomized trials, covering single nutrients, supplement drinks, whole eating patterns and approaches aimed at the gut. Rather than combining results into one number, they graded how confident we can be in each strategy.
1. Protein of at least 1.0 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight a day, rich in the amino acid leucine and paired with resistance training, had moderate to high certainty, the strongest of any strategy.
2. Correcting vitamin D in older adults whose levels were low also reached moderate to high certainty, with the trials pointing to benefit particularly at doses of at least 800 IU a day.
3. Mediterranean style eating reached moderate certainty, mostly from studies that followed people over time, while probiotics and fiber aimed at the gut and muscle link stayed at low to very low certainty.
Taken together, the evidence points toward a simple foundation. For a 70 kg person, about 155 pounds, 1.0 to 1.2 grams per kilogram works out to roughly 70 to 85 grams of protein a day, and that protein does the most good alongside regular strength training. A blood test can show whether vitamin D is running low and worth correcting.
The review ranks how confident we can be in each strategy, not how large the benefit is, so it does not say how much muscle any one step will save. The included studies used different definitions of sarcopenia and measured different outcomes, which the authors name as the main barrier to firmer advice. Much of the support for Mediterranean eating comes from observational studies, which show a link rather than proof.

Well, this is quite the turnaround.
Chinese equities have staged an enormous reversal after an extraordinary 11-week stretch of selling. And it's not just China. We're seeing some interesting snapbacks across Korea, Singapore and the broader Asian markets around these levels.
Markets have a funny way of producing their biggest rallies when sentiment has been beaten into the ground.
Whether this is simply a relief rally or something more durable is where things get interesting.

Since nailing every call to date, it would be uncharacteristic for me not to tackle my next major path setting for the main crypto trading algorithmic instruments that have been used for nefarious activities.
Aside from their useless fundamentals, the technicals are painting a dire picture.
Bitcoin is depicting a complex head and shoulders pattern, while Ethereum is showing a broadening pattern yet to complete the fifth reference point, which it is currently in the progress of doing.
Targets should be met sometime next year at much lower levels.
Hope this helps.

🚨 WARNING: SOMETHING VERY BAD JUST HAPPENED
China’s stock market has dumped more than 20%, officially entering a BEAR MARKET.
At the same time, China has been aggressively reducing exposure to U.S. Treasuries.
Meanwhile, its gold reserves just hit a record $324 BILLION.
Now ask yourself one question:
WHY IS ALL OF THIS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME?
Because buying gold was only step one.
China is now building the infrastructure around it.
Hong Kong’s government-backed gold clearing system is directly connected to the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
Gold storage capacity is being expanded.
Physically settled RMB gold futures are being developed.
Alternative payment networks are being built.
And China has now bought gold for 23 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS.
This is where the entire equation changes.
China does NOT need the yuan to replace the dollar.
It only needs to make the dollar LESS NECESSARY.
Because if another country gets paid in yuan, there has always been one obvious problem:
WHAT DOES IT DO WITH THE YUAN AFTERWARD?
China is building another answer:
TURN IT INTO GOLD.
Trade with China in yuan.
Settle without the dollar.
Move the proceeds into physical gold.
Store and clear that gold through Chinese-linked infrastructure.
And China is not alone.
South Korea has resumed gold purchases after 13 years.
Central banks are increasing gold allocations.
Countries are reducing exposure to U.S. Treasuries.
Even Venezuela is moving its gold reserves after years abroad.
Now connect the dots:
Falling Chinese stocks → rising gold reserves → fewer U.S. Treasuries → more yuan settlement → more gold infrastructure → less dollar dependence
That is the real shift.
The dollar does NOT need to disappear.
IT JUST NEEDS TO BE NEEDED LESS OFTEN.
And once more countries start using those rails, this stops being a story about the price of gold.
It becomes a story about the global monetary system itself.
Save this tweet.
When the monetary system looks different five years from now, people will look back at what China was building in 2026 and wonder how they missed it happening in plain sight.
Remember, I’ve been trading markets for over 15 years.
I follow what central banks, governments and the biggest institutions are doing in real time, and when I see something important developing, I’ll post it here publicly like I always do.
Turn notifications on.
If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.
🚨 HERE’S THE PART NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT
Everyone is focused on prices.
They’re missing the real question:
WHO IS BUYING EVERYTHING THE WEST IS BEING FORCED TO SELL?
Unrealized capital gains taxes are a government control tool.
They are designed to manipulate markets.
If you tax unrealized gains, investors are left with only one option:
SELL ASSETS TO PAY TAXES.
Western governments are deep in sovereign debt crises. Running record deficits.
They NEED selling pressure.
But selling always creates a buyer.
So ask yourself:
WHO HAS THE DEEPEST POCKETS RIGHT NOW?
It’s not the West.
It’s countries converting paper into HARD ASSETS.
China is the clearest example.
As of today:
- PBoC has bought gold 15 months in a row
- Official reserves: 74.19M troy ounces
- Total reported gold: 2,308+ tonnes
- Last month alone: +40,000 ounces
And that’s just what they admit.
Market makers estimate hundreds of tonnes MORE accumulated off-book through:
- Shanghai Gold Exchange withdrawals
- State-linked banks
- Sovereign intermediaries
At the same time:
- Chinese retail gold demand jumped 35% in 2025
- Physical gold is being REMOVED from circulation
- Spot gold is near $5,000/oz
Now connect the dots: Western investors are being forced to sell. Non-Western are buying with hard currency.
Do not hand them your wealth.
Btw, I’ve been in finance for more than 15 years.
When I EXIT the markets completely, I’ll say it here publicly, like I always do.
Many people will wish they followed me sooner.

🚨 医学界刚刚扔下一枚核弹：科学家找到了“一键清洗”大脑毒素的物理开关！
只需 10 分钟。不吃药，不动刀。阿尔茨海默病的毒性斑块直接被“冲刷”干净。
你的大脑里有一个专属的废物清理网络（类淋巴系统），负责清扫有毒蛋白和死细胞。
但它极其苛刻：只有在深度睡眠（慢波睡眠）时才会启动。
如果你长期熬夜、睡眠不足，垃圾就会在脑子里发臭、堆积，最终演变成不可逆的认知衰退和阿尔茨海默病。
直到今天，这个死局被打破了。
《Science Advances》最新发表的研究证实：科学家现在可以手动触发这个“深度清洁”程序，完全不需要你睡着。
他们使用 40.68 MHz 的超短波（USW），以非侵入式的方法照射大脑。
短短 10 分钟内，大脑的液体流动开始狂飙。
这些超短波强行将神经元同步到 Delta 状态——这正是深度睡眠时的脑波频率。大脑被瞬间“欺骗”，水通道全开，如同开启了高压水枪，疯狂清洗毒素。
在患有创伤性脑损伤和阿尔茨海默病的小鼠身上，测试结果极其震撼：
🧠 脑水肿迅速消退
🧹 有毒蛋白质被大量清除
📈 认知缺陷实质性逆转
没有开颅手术。没有昂贵的化学药物干预。
仅仅依靠一个特定的物理频率。
人类对抗脑部绝症和衰老的武器库里，多了一把降维打击的重狙。
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
该帖子对Science Advances研究存在夸大渲染。该研究仅在小鼠TBI和阿尔茨海默病模型中显示40.68 MHz超短波可增强类淋巴清除并改善部分症状，尚无人类临床试验数据支持其疗效或“一键清洗”作用。

$GOOGL MONTHLY WAVE COUNT
NOW WAVE A CAN GO DEEPER, BUT IT SHOULD GET A RELIEF BOUNCE WAVE B MAYBE 2-3 MONTHS, THEN THE REAL FLUSH.
MY GUESS THAT LINES UP WITH DECEMBER RATE HIKE. A lot of CHARTS WILL GET DECEMBER FLUSH ON A RATE HIKE + 23 HOUR TRADING + Anthropic SUPPLY HITTING THE MARKETS.
Wave 1: late-2022/2023 recovery into roughly $190–200.
Wave 2: early-2025 correction toward ~$140.
Wave 3: explosive advance into the ~$330–350 zone.
Wave 4: sharp reset toward ~$270.
Wave 5: final acceleration/blow-off into $408.61.
Wave A: $408 → approximately $315–320
That is a ~22% correction and gets price almost perfectly into the 61.8% retracement zone.
Wave B: If $315–320 holds, a countertrend rally toward approximately $345–360 would be extremely reasonable.
The 38.2% line around $357.77 becomes the obvious target/magnet.
But this is the trap:
Wave B rallies often look like the bull market is completely back. They can be violent enough to suck everyone back in before Wave C starts.
The level I would watch hardest: $320
This is almost beautifully binary.
Hold $315–320:
→ supports the idea that Wave A is completing
→ opens the door for a Wave B relief rally
→ first area ~$340–345
→ major target ~$355–360
Lose $315 decisively on monthly/weekly structure:
→ tells me Wave A probably isn't finished
→ ~$300 becomes vulnerable
(DAILY GAP FILL AT $305)
→ then ~$275–285 becomes the next major structural area.
And Retracement around ~$270–275 is where the chart gets really interesting.
That area roughly corresponds with prior MONTHLY Wave 4 zone, which Elliott technicians frequently watch because corrections after a completed 5-wave impulse often retrace toward the previous fourth-wave territory.
=
2022 low → 2026 high = complete 5-wave secular impulse
If that's correct, then the correction following $408 doesn't necessarily end at $320.
A completed five-wave advance is normally followed by a correction of the entire five-wave sequence, not simply Wave 5.
That makes The $270-ish Wave C zone extremely plausible.
From $408.61:
$357.77 = 38.2% area
~$340 = 50% neighborhood
~$320 = 61.8% area
~$270–280 = prior Wave 4 / larger structural support
The convergence around $270–285 is what catches my eye most.
That would be roughly a 30–34% drawdown from the high, substantial enough to reset sentiment without destroying Alphabet's longer-term secular bull thesis.
My probability tree from this chart alone
I'd frame it roughly:
50% — A → B → C correction
$320-ish holds → bounce $345–360 → eventual C-wave toward ~$280–300.
30% — Wave A extends immediately
$320 fails → $300 → ~$275 without much of a meaningful B rally first.
20% — Correction already largely complete
$320 holds → earnings/catalyst → $360 reclaim → eventually re-attack $408.
Near-term catalyst:
Alphabet reports Q3 earnings Wednesday, October 28. Yahoo Finance
That makes this setup even more fascinating because earnings could literally become the event that decides whether $320 marks Wave A termination or merely another stop lower.

科学家们找到了一种方法，可以在几分钟内将阿尔茨海默病的斑块从大脑中清除。
无需任何手术和药物。
你的大脑有一个名为淋巴系统的废物清除网络。它会清除有毒蛋白质和死细胞。

如果你不睡觉，垃圾就会堆积。随着时间的推移，这种堆积会导致认知衰退和阿尔茨海默病。

AI stocks are COLLAPSING in China:
MiniMax and Z AI have lost more than -80% from their respective peaks, WIPING OUT a combined -$150 billion in market value since their January debuts.
MiniMax shares have plunged -87% from their peak, while Z AI has fallen -81%, erasing the gains that followed their highly anticipated listings.
The selloff comes as Chinese and US AI companies slash token prices, intensifying competition and putting further pressure on the profitability of both firms, which remain unprofitable.
Despite launching new models with lower costs and improved performance, neither company has managed to reverse its stock decline.
Moreover, their latest offerings continue to trail leading US models in intelligence.
Meanwhile, potential IPOs by DeepSeek and Moonshot AI could further draw investor money away from MiniMax and Z AI.
In addition, pre-IPO investors in both companies will be allowed to sell their shares, which could add further selling pressure.
Intensifying competition is putting growing pressure on AI stocks.

Brent Crude just broke $111.
Now we await the 72-hour rule.
Pay attention.
We are on the precipice of proliferation.
The five red arrows on the chart represent the fake or premature deal news that drove oil prices lower, occurring exactly at the price point where oil was about to break out higher.
However, as we can see, the effect is wearing off and the narrative is wearing thin.
The markets are extremely forgiving, but they only have patience for so long.
What happens next is a significant move higher that will have real consequences, not only for equities but also for the bond market.

🇨🇳 China’s stock market just slid into a BEAR MARKET, with $2.4 trillion wiped out since May, and Beijing’s rescue squad can’t stop the bleeding.
The CSI 300, China’s main index, dropped as much as 2.2% today, putting it 20% below its June high.
Hong Kong’s tech index got hit even harder, plunging as much as 5.3%, its biggest drop since July, with Alibaba among the casualties.
Chinese shoppers still aren’t spending much, and investors are starting to wonder whether all that AI money will ever pay off.
Beijing’s so-called “national team” of state-backed funds has been stepping in to prop up stocks, with trading in its favored ETFs hitting $7.8 billion today.
Analysts say that won’t be enough without a serious stimulus package.
Beijing keeps buying the dip. The dip keeps getting bigger.
