"With va**ng, signals of cardiovascular strain, lung irritation, youth gateways and addiction are flashing red, even if full epidemics lie years ahead."

In The Conversation, Dr Vikram Niranjan from UL's School of Medicine examines how va**ng can harm your health.

flat feet are a normal anatomical variation!!!!!
stop with the outdated bu****it please 🤬😡🤬

Despite popular belief, normal feet exist on a pretty wide spectrum. Flat feet can be normal, as well as high arches. 

It’s only at the extremes or when significant symptoms and limitations in function arise that interventions may be necessary. 

The problem is that we’ve pathologized “normal,” meaning that if your feet don’t meet an unrealistic and unsubstantiated standard that was arbitrarily set over 100 years ago, then you’re broken and need to be fixed. 

As stated in a recent British Journal of Sports Medicine Editorial:

“…flat feet should be considered as healthy anatomical variants. It is imperative to abandon the outdated notion, common in both research and clinical settings, that having flat feet is problematic and makes individuals at high risk of sustaining musculoskeletal injuries.”

I want to reframe the way you think about lifting weights. Forget the mirror. Forget the scale. Forget 'toning.' Here is why your doctor should be prescribing resistance training to every single patient over 40.

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury-related death in older adults. And the ability to recover from a stumble, what researchers call reactive balance, depends almost entirely on the speed and strength of your muscular response.

Muscles that have not been trained for power do not respond in time. The stumble becomes a fall. The fall becomes a fracture. The fracture becomes a cascade of complications that changes everything.

Resistance training is the only intervention proven to build the fast-twitch muscle fibers responsible for this kind of reactive strength. It also maintains bone density, improves insulin sensitivity, supports brain health through BDNF production, and extends metabolic function.

And here is the part I find most powerful: it is never too late. Research shows that adults in their 80s and even 90s build meaningful muscle and strength from resistance training. The biology does not stop cooperating. We just stop asking it to.

If you are over 40 and not doing some form of resistance training, the most important thing you can do this month is start. Not for how you look. For whether you can catch yourself when you stumble at 78.

yes sir 👏👏👏👏👏

When I first started treating injuries, cold therapy was almost automatic. If something hurt, the advice was simple: ice it. Ice the ankle, ice the knee, ice the shoulder. It was one of those things that was repeated so often that nobody really questioned it.

But my approach changed over the years.

I stopped using ice in treatment a long time ago because cooling tissue reduces blood flow to the area. Blood flow is part of the healing process. When tissue is injured, the body increases circulation to deliver oxygen, nutrients, and the cells involved in repair. When you apply ice, you slow that process down.

That doesn’t mean ice has absolutely no place. If someone has just had an injury and the area is extremely painful, using cold for a short period may help reduce pain in those first few hours. Some people also like the numbing effect. But beyond that early stage, repeatedly icing an injury can interfere with the body’s natural healing response.

In practice, I don’t use ice anymore. Instead, I focus on helping the patient gradually return to comfortable movement and normal loading. Tissues respond well to appropriate movement and circulation, and that tends to support recovery far better than repeatedly cooling the area.

This is one of those things where clinical practice evolves. What we were all taught 15–20 years ago isn’t always what we do now.

And yes, I know some people will disagree. That’s fine. But for me, ice hasn’t been part of my treatment approach for many years. ❄️ Save it for your drinks. 🍸

After we reach our 40s, muscle mass naturally begins to decline at a rate of about 1–2% per year if we don’t actively maintain it. This isn’t just about aesthetics or fitting into old clothes, it affects every part of daily life. Losing muscle can make standing up from a chair harder, climbing stairs more tiring, carrying groceries more challenging, and even increase the risk of falls, fractures, and loss of independence.
While cardiovascular fitness plays a major role in how long we live, muscle strength is one of the strongest predictors of how well we live.

When you stop a GLP-1 medication, appetite returns and weight regain often follows.

That doesn't mean the drug failed. It means metabolic biology is persistent.

These drugs are not a cure. They're a bridge and the most important thing is what you build on the other side while you're crossing.

Muscle. Metabolic health. Cooking skills. Movement habits. Sleep hygiene. Stress management.

GLP-1 drugs mute hunger. They don't teach your body what to crave. They don't build muscle for you. They don't rewire your identity.

For some patients, long-term therapy makes sense. For others, a structured maintenance strategy works. But it should be a deliberate plan, not a surprise.

You don't need to inject health from the outside forever. But you do need to build it from the inside while you have the window.

After age 30yrs, you’re losing 3-8% of your muscle mass per decade. You can’t see it. You can’t feel it. Your jeans still fit (for now). But muscle isn’t just for appearance. It’s your glucose storage tank. Your metabolic engine. Your fall prevention system. Your insulin regulator. When muscle shrinks, blood sugar rises, metabolism slows, independence erodes.

The fix: resistance training 2-3x/week 🙏💯

It doesn’t have to be heavy. It has to be consistent.

Every rep is a deposit. Every skipped day is a withdrawal you won’t notice until it’s too late.
