Watch: Glucosamine-chondroitin supplement may ward off early death

A daily glucosamine-chondroitin supplement may be as effective as exercise when it comes to warding off an early death, research suggests.

Working up a sweat has known benefits, with regular physical activity up to halving the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer, to name a few conditions.

Glucosamine and chondroitin are naturally-occurring substances found in cartilage. The two compounds are often combined in over-the-counter supplements that are marketed to ease joint pain or osteoarthritis.

After examining the supplement intake of more than 16,000 adults, scientists from West Virginia University found those who took a glucosamine-chondroitin supplement every day for at least 12 months were 39% less likely to die from any cause over the next eight years.

MANILA, Philippines — After four months of strict diet and exercise, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Debold Sinas said yesterday he lost 20 kilos.

Sinas said he has been following the weight loss program of his physician for the past months, which has provided positive results for his health.

“A strict diet, healthy living at bawas inom. Kung uminom man konti lang tapos sleep well,” he said during in an interview on ANC.

The PNP chief said he opted to consult a doctor rather than losing weight on his own as he was worried it could put him at risk because of his age.

Sinas is 55 and will retire from the police service in May 2021.

We all have interests outside tech—my main one is competitive running—and every now and then I find an excuse to check out some piece of tech gear while working on my fitness. My latest effort along these lines is the Stealth Core Trainer, which promises to give me a “lean, strong core” while playing games on my iPhone.

You might ask why, if I’m a runner, I’m worried about core work. We runners have long been told that a strong core is essential for avoiding injuries and running well. I don’t disagree with this, though a decently strong core did nothing to prevent my most recent 18-month bout of plantar heel pain. I also found myself nodding when I read “Local Man Starting to Think His Core Will Never Be Strong Enough for Runner’s World” on the satire site Dumb Runner (be sure to check out the motivational posters too).

As of the time of this writing, The Biden Administration has not expressed any plans for a national lockdown.

This could certainly change in the coming months, but Moderna and Pfizer’s recent vaccine trials have blunted the utility of shelter in place mandates; saying nothing of the social backlash associated with commercial immobility.

Still, we’re in the middle of a pandemic and some experts are confident that the worst is yet to come.

In order to safely engage with the world around us, it’s important to adhere to guidance published by public health officials.

The latest—a 92-page paper on physical activity— was released by the World Health Organization (WHO) earlier this week.

Before quarantine inspired mass lounging, the world was already on the verge of a sedentary-pandemic.

In the new report, the authors indicated that more than 25% of adults and roughly 81% of adolescents fail to

SAVANETA, Aruba —

U.S. Marines with Charlie Company, 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division recently traveled nearly 1,600 miles to conduct open-water and dive training with Netherlands Marines from the 32nd Raiding Squadron in Savaneta, Aruba, on November 7.

“This is really a unique opportunity. The Dutch Marines’ subject-matter expertise in coastal tropics is invaluable to preparing us for combat situations in foreign regions.”
