Supporting observations of previous studies that resistance training and higher muscle mass protect against Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a new observational longitudinal study of over 140,000 people followed for 8 years found that muscle strength, as measured by grip strength divided by fat-free body mass, is also associated with a lower risk of T2D.

A quotation from Emerson

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6

#Truth is #antisemitism.

#Protest is #terrorism.

#Dissent is #Russian #propaganda.

#Critical #thinking is #misinformation.

#War is #peace.

#Freedom is #slavery.

#Ignorance is #strength.

Something that is a common theme I notice about #maga trolls is they often view #kindness and #empathy in a man as weak.

They all buy into the ideas #elonmusk and #trump go by, that success and masculinity is defined by money, and cruelty, and you're less of a man if you don't have a "real job" or ask for #help or even help others.

It's a sign of #strength and #intelligence. I often find the most empathetic people I meet, are also the smartest.

When facing uncertainty, balancing hard work with rest is essential. Counter fight-or-flight with rest-and-recovery (and really comfortable sheets).

Have you ever wondered how to relate to the opposite sex?

There always seems to be this air of mystery
questions
answers
intentions
coming from different places
both wondering the same kinds of things but in different ways
