1. Monitoring Blood Sugar

There are many options available for tracking blood sugar levels. While some people need monitoring for medical reasons, others simply want to understand their numbers and observe how their body responds to various factors. Wearing a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) can provide valuable health insights, but it’s important not to overanalyze the data.

2. Health Benefits of Running

You don’t need to run long distances to reap the benefits. Research shows that even short, occasional runs offer substantial health advantages, with a few two-mile runs a week nearly matching the longevity benefits of more frequent, longer runs.

3. Placebos & mental Health

A Michigan State University study found that non-deceptive placebos, given with participants fully aware they are placebos, effectively reduced stress, anxiety, and depression over two weeks. This study reminds us that we have control over our minds, and when used effectively, the mind can strongly influence emotional and psychological well-being.
