This is a very interesting discovery! 🧬🧪🧠

This is mind-boggling! 🤯

Fasting can expand your lifespan. But if you do it wrong, it leads to hormonal imbalance, insomnia, and metabolism problems. Here’s everything you need to know (& how to avoid the toxic effects): 🧵

This is 💯% the future

Many guidelines recommend opioids for treating cancer pain 🏥🩺Here we review outcomes of Medical Cannabis therapy in 168 pts focusing on the relief of pain, quality of life and side-effects 👉shorturl.at/nFq4R

Cool if true: Intermittent fasting BEFORE conception in rats apparently causes offspring to have accelerated development, including faster whisker growth, reflexes, ear unfolding & tooth eruption So, does a mother's diet impact her eggs & therefore her babies' future? 🧵

NEW STUDY: Intermittent fasting (IF) significantly alters the microbiome of mice, with reductions in the gut production of obeticholic acid, a bile acid that induces expression of gut-derived hormones, and an increase in N-acetylglycine production Why is this interesting? 🧵

What will be the effect of the AI revolution on service-based economies in short/medium-term?
