While the health benefits of walking are evident, there are some mistakes that could reverse progress. For instance, walking with your head down, scrolling on your phone. Scrolling also puts the neck in a downward position, making the head heavier, which changes your posture from the top down, which can be a problem if you're someone who struggles with neck pain, back pain or shoulder pain. Also, you should consider your walking speed. While most people walk at about 3 miles per hour, to reap a higher level benefits you might increase to 3 1/2 - 4 miles an hour. A daily walk will have bigger payoffs than only walking once or twice a week. Finally, make sure that your shoes fit properly. (This may mean being fitted by a professional.)

For years, Ozempic and similar GLP-1 medications have dominated the weight loss conversation—but a new drug from Eli Lilly may soon shift the landscape. In a newly-announced Phase 3 clinical trial, the triple receptor agonist drug retatrutide delivered some of the most dramatic weight loss results seen to date. Its use also came with an unexpected bonus: Meaningful relief from knee osteoarthritis pain. What makes retatrutide different is how it works. While Ozempic targets a single hormone pathway (GLP-1), retatrutide activates three receptors: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. This broader hormonal approach may help explain its outsized effects on weight loss and metabolism. While the once-weekly shot appears to be the most effective weight loss drug yet, it’s important to note that retatrutide is not yet FDA-approved. If approved, retatrutide may not just rival Ozempic—it could redefine what’s possible in medical weight loss. However, it could take months, or years, to see the high-performing product in pharmacies.

Maybe there’s been a time in your life when you prayed and prayed for God to do something, to help you out with a problem, but years went by without an answer and you wonder if God is going to do anything. When you don’t see God at work right here right now, you need to remember what he’s done in the past. You also need to trust Him for what He will do in the future. Romans 8:25 (NIV) says, “But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”

Losing muscle strength is one of the quietest crises of aging, and one of the most consequential. Researchers think a compound hiding in aged garlic may be worth watching as one piece of the solution. A compound called S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine, or S1PC, found in aged garlic extract, sets off a chain reaction in fat tissue that eventually signals the brain to help preserve muscle strength in aging mice. In middle-aged people given a single dose, S1PC raised blood levels of a key protein tied to this process. Rather than acting on muscle directly, S1PC appears to work through fat tissue, triggering a molecular signal that travels to the brain, which then communicates with muscles through the nervous system. Researchers have been searching for ways to slow that muscle decline through drugs and lifestyle changes. S1PC did not appear to trigger fat breakdown, which suggests the compound targets a very specific molecular pathway in fat cells rather than broadly disrupting how they work. Garlic has always had its enthusiasts. Now science may be giving those ancient claims a precise biological explanation.

Today, National Heat Awareness Day is an effort by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Weather Service to alert workers, employers, and the public at large about the health dangers related to heat, in order to reduce the overall rate of illnesses and deaths caused by it. Many outdoor workers or laborers are at risk of serious heat-induced conditions like heat exhaustion, dehydration, heatstroke, and even death. Groups that are especially vulnerable to heat are outdoor workers, young children, elderly adults, people with chronic medical conditions, and pregnant women.

Worry doesn’t work, it just exaggerates the problem. Worry is something you learned. Since worry is unnatural, it’s also unhealthy. God made you, he created you, he saved you, and he put his Spirit in you. He’s going to take care of you. God personally cares about you and for your needs, so give your worries to God. 1 Peter 5:7 (GNT) says, “Leave all your worries with Him, because He cares for you.”
