  • Physical activity is known to promote bone and muscle health.
  • Aging, lifestyle, and chronic disease can lead to physical inactivity, which is associated with bone and muscle loss.
  • New research has now identified a drug that can mimic physical exercise in mice.
  • The new drug, called locamidazole, can increase bone formation, mineral density, muscle thickness, and muscle strength in mice.

When we are physically active our bones and muscles work together to make them stronger. To maintain bone health, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends a combination of weight-bearing activities 3–5 times per week and resistance exercise 2–3 times a week.

Research has shown lifelong exercise to be beneficial for preserving bone health, and a reduction in physical exercise results in bone loss. The CDC advocates regular physical activity to strengthen

Back pain driving you crazy? Healthista spoke to chiropractor Dr Stefaan Vossen, Clinical Director at Core Clinics who identifies everyday activities making it worse and what you can do to help 

People often relate to their backs, especially their spines, as being somewhat fragile, delicate and in need of protection.

They therefore worry about ‘hurting their back’ by doing simple things, especially if they’ve had back pain or injuries in the past or feel the beginnings of a back pain flare up.

The spine and its supporting structures are very robust and flexible, especially if you regularly work on strengthening and mobilising your back.

these types of events are usually a ‘straw breaking the camel’s back’ moment

More damage tends to be done by overprotecting your back by unnecessarily reducing activity out of fear, than by keeping active.

Operation weight loss – Healthista’s Olivia Hartland-Robbins joins Lift Studios Fulham to help her get back in shape. With 5 non-negotiable healthy rules to stick by, here is rule number 2 – move daily 

‘Mark I’m miserable. None of my clothes fit me and I’ve lost all my confidence’ – these were my exact words as I sat there holding back the tears and asking for weight loss help.

I had gained 17kg’s in 3 years (that’s nearly 40 lbs)! Why? Lockdowns, family illness and job pressures, to name just a few reasons.

Feeling unhealthy, constantly exhausted and insecure meant it was time to make a healthy change. Most of us set goals in January, but the ‘new year, new me’ mentality can often pile on the pressure, so why not start now?

Blue-check liberals on Twitter rallied behind Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman after journalists questioned the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor’s mental fitness following his interview with NBC News.

Ever since he suffered his stroke earlier this year, Fetterman has largely refrained from doing media appearances with the exception of friendly interviews on MSNBC.

On Tuesday, however, he granted his first in-person interview, which showed him relying on closed-caption technology from a desktop computer so he could read questions in real time.

“In small talk before the interview, without captioning, it wasn’t clear he was understanding our conversation,” NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns told Lester Holt at the top of the “NBC Nightly News” report.
