PFAS are known as "forever chemicals." "The most remarkable thing we found in this study was the very high concentrations of just one PFAS — there were some samples above 1,000 parts per billion of PFHxA, which is much higher than most PFAS we have seen in consumer products,” said study co-author Graham Peaslee (pictured here). In the new study, elevated levels of PFHxA were found in watchbands that cost over $15. Here, a woman checks her smartwatch. Exposure to high doses of PFHxA may harm the liver, thyroid, red blood cell count and the developing fetus. PFHxA's structure is shown here. https://nypost.com/2025/01/15/health/avoid-these-4-biggest-cardio-workout-mistakes/#respond Wed, 15 Jan 2025 12:47:43 -0500 2025-01-15T13:40:18-05:00 https://nypost.com/2025/01/15/health/avoid-these-4-biggest-cardio-workout-mistakes/ McKenzie Beard https://nypost.com/?post_type=article&p=34491703 0 34491703 Fitness, spinning class and senior people in gym for cycling, exercise and training with physical activity.

Cheerful husband and wife competing together and jogging on fresh air. Active people wearing sport clothes doing cardio for good health and staying fit. Exercise signals our brown fat to burn more calories because physical activity stimulates our sympathetic nervous system — also known as our "fight-or-flight" response. Here, two women jog in a park in Atlanta. Brown fat may also help combat age-related muscle loss, fatigue and metabolism declines by enhancing blood circulation and reducing cellular stress. Here is a before-and-after illustration of aging. Mice that received brown fat from genetically modified mice could run longer just days after the transplant. This is a graphic that illustrates the mouse study. https://nypost.com/2025/01/09/health/what-is-jeffing-running-method-helps-you-finish-races-faster/#respond Thu, 09 Jan 2025 06:00:00 -0500 2025-01-09T06:00:45-05:00 https://nypost.com/2025/01/09/health/what-is-jeffing-running-method-helps-you-finish-races-faster/ McKenzie Beard https://nypost.com/?post_type=article&p=34365971 0 34365971 Smiling senior couple jogging in the park Jeff Galloway, who invented "Jeffing" Athletes bending over to rest after exercising Woman in red shoes jogging on an outdoor trail at sunset https://nypost.com/2025/01/06/health/doctor-reveals-how-to-lose-weight-for-good-tricks-to-avoid-diet-fatigue/#respond Mon, 06 Jan 2025 06:00:00 -0500 2025-01-06T09:40:28-05:00 https://nypost.com/2025/01/06/health/doctor-reveals-how-to-lose-weight-for-good-tricks-to-avoid-diet-fatigue/ Dr. Holly F.

In background is her male friend tying shoelace, too. Wintertime. Outdoor fitness concept. You need to choose the best running shoe for the mechanics of your body to lower your risk of getting injured. Here, a couple crouches on the street to tie their running shoes. A new study of endurance runners reports that not knowing how your feet hit the pavement increases the likelihood of getting hurt and suggests the best shoe to reduce this risk. Here, a man rubs his foot after running. It's important to know if your heel or the front part of your foot hits the pavement first, so you can be trained on better technique. Here, a woman pushes off her toes. The researchers said that a lot of cushioning in the shoe may make it more challenging for runners to identify how they’re striking the ground. Here, a runner wears New Balance while competing in a half marathon in Italy.
