We all know, getting some sunlight is healthy but it may be just more than vitamin D and circadian rhythm. We may have just found out more aspects that sunlight can help with.
1) It helps keep your blood sugar in a normal range during the day (food intake was a control factor) and helps with burning fat during the day.
2) It can cause a stronger response to melatonin, because total melatonin exposure was higher, AND sunlight starts the circadian rhythm cycle about 45 min earlier than non sunlight.

GO GET SOME SUN!!!

What could be the best measurable indicator for dementia?
It may not be cognition but it may actually be blood pressure.
If you have had hypertension for decades of your life the blood vessel go through changes (endothelial (the most inside layer) dysfunction and arterial stiffness happens before hypertension is diagnosed). Those changes make the blood flow less (systemically) due to resistance that the blood/ heart has to push through. Less blood means less nutrients to your brain.

They may taste good but they're terrible options to start your day. The best start for your day, is a meal high in protein and fiber.
The reason is when you are fasting (over the night) your body is ready and primed for insulin sensitivity. If you start your day with with a high-glycemic, high-starch meal can create a bigger glucose and insulin swing; this may set you up a day of hunger rebounds and cravings.

What if the intensity of the exercises had more "health return" than the time you spent doing the exercises?
In a large analysis of the UK Biobank researched looked into the "health equivalence" of light, moderate, and vigorous activity across major health outcomes.
What they found was remarkable! For 1 minute of vigorous activity was equivalent to about 4–9 minutes of moderate activity and 53–94 minutes of light activity.
The goal is to work with your body type and style to become healthier and not fight against your own body.
