This is interesting. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that working and building muscle at locations most remote from the head would enhance blood flow back to the brain, especially when pushing against the effects of gravity.

Wherein the key common theme is "lack of preparation"...
We called four people and said: tell me an anecdote of your war — the war in Iraq as you lived it. This answers recorded by @gordemer are overpowering. Humans telling their stories. Set aside seven minutes and listen. @MorningEdition @NPR npr.org/2023/03/20/116464171…
Fascinating bit of not-so-trivial trivia. Further thought: Are we “feeding the world” or enslaving the world with grain exports?
In 1972 historian Al Crosby speculated that introducing corn to Africa so reduced hunger that pop'n density rose, which in turn “enabled the slave trade to go on as long as it did.” TIL that 2 economists examined the evidence for this in 2019 and... Yep. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Just voted. Came away with an uneasy feeling for two reasons: 1) The only black person in line was also, so far as I could see, the only person asked to show ID; 2) Ballots were entered into the machine face-up, with plenty of help from election worker who glanced at my choices.
This "simple idea" literally changed my life a couple years ago. The change could not have been more dramatic, and came in the nick of time before some significant life stressors that would've been much worse without it.
This simple idea--that eating less fat and more carbs leads to higher insulin, which leads to greater fat production from the liver--is so often overlooked or misunderstood. This explains why blood lipids can get so much worse despite eating less fat. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3634…
