A New Year- and a chance to leave behind pseudoscience with regard to your health. Social media is a platform for non experts, and science has become less important than people’s feelings and opinions. Do your research with regard to what you believe and buy into. Focus on building consistent healthy habits (THINK LIKE BRUSHING YOUR TEETH) -good quality sleep -foods that fuel your body -regular movement -stress reduction. Weighted Vests- (PMID: 40540267) Aside from minimal benefits for bone density in one part of the femur, weighted vests for bone mass have been overhyped. (PMID:40348853) They do not help you burn significantly more calories, or keep weight off. If you want to build muscle mass lift heavy s**t! Work with a knowledgeable personal trainer and together come up with a plan that you can put into action and stick to! Happy 2026!
