Kumarahou flower buds emerging now. An important Maori rongoa health and wellness plant, especially as a tea for bronchitis and congestion. The flowers were alsio mixed with water to make "gumdiggers soap". It works but best to leave the flowers to seed and use ordinary soap these days. A wonderful plant that thrives on dry banks. #plants #rongoa #health

The Guardian: Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US
"...Experts aren’t yet sure why colorectal cancer has risen in younger people, but Siegel said it’s an example of the “birth cohort effect”. That people born after the 1950s face heightened risk “tells us that there was some exposure, some risk factor that was introduced in the middle of the 20th century that’s increasing our risk of this disease”, Siegel said, “and it’s increasing the risk more and more with every subsequent generation.”..."

Veterans Who Depend on Mental Health Care Keep Losing Their Therapists Under Trump

Hundreds of mental health professionals have left the Department of Veterans Affairs since President Donald Trump took office, leaving staff “at a breaking point” and some veterans waiting as long as six months for help.

'Strong muscles start in the gut'
"Aging naturally weakens our muscles, but researchers at Leiden University Medical Center and the Universities of Granada and Almería have found a gut bacterium that may help turn the tide. Their findings, now published in the scientific journal Gut, show that Roseburia inulinivorans is linked to stronger muscles in both people and mice."
"Older adults who carried this bacterium had 29 percent stronger handgrip strength than those who didn’t.” In young adults, higher levels of Roseburia inulinivorans were associated with stronger muscles and better overall fitness."
"After clearing the mice’s gut bacteria using antibiotics, they introduced human strains of Roseburia inulinivorans for eight weeks. […] The mice became 30 percent stronger, developed larger muscle fibers and produced more fast‑twitch fibers, the kind needed for quick, powerful movements."
"The team also found that the bacterium changed how the muscles used certain building blocks and activated energy‑related pathways inside the muscle. “These metabolic changes may help explain why the muscles grew stronger"
"Another key observation is that levels of Roseburia inulinivorans naturally decline with age. “This could partly explain why muscle strength drops as we get older"

'Tackling air pollution should be part of government work to cut cancer rates, scientists say'
"Cutting air pollution should form part of government strategies to reduce cancer rates, the European Code Against Cancer has recommended.
The code previously focused on advice to help people to reduce the air pollution that they breathe. But, for the first time since its launch in 1987, it has given clear direction to governments."
"With home woodburning increasing, the code calls on governments to discourage and phase out solid fuels for heating, cooking and recreation. It also calls for incentives for the installation of home energy systems that do not pollute, such as heat pumps, solar power and geothermal energy.
Jochems added: “It is also important to make air quality information easily available, involve communities in local plans and protect vulnerable groups, for example around schools and care settings.”
