01 Breakfast may be one of your best tools against stress
New research from Binghamton University found that students who ate breakfast at least five times a week showed greater psychological flexibility, the mental skill that helps you adapt when things go wrong instead of spiraling.
The same pattern held for sleep (more than six hours) and exercise (20 minutes or longer). Students with worse habits, like frequent fast food and short sleep, had more trouble adjusting their thinking under pressure.
02 Women report more pain than men at every body site, global study finds
Researchers just published one of the largest pain studies ever, pulling data from more than 6 million people across 118 countries. It found that women experience more pain than men at all 11 body sites measured, from headaches to back pain to knee pain. The gap was widest for headaches, facial pain, and abdominal pain.
For both sexes, the steepest rise in pain happened before age 55, during working and caregiving years, then peaked around 75 or later.

03 HHS sends peptide plan to White House
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sent a proposal to the White House on Wednesday that would allow "interim access" to certain peptide drugs.
Peptides are molecules made of amino acids, and some fitness enthusiasts use them as injections. The FDA banned several peptides from compounding pharmacies in 2023, a move Kennedy has called illegal because the agency did not identify any safety signal first.

Yes, BMI misses too much: My son is technically obese, yet he’s cut and trim and runs circles around his peers. BMI is overly simplified! The doctor had enough common sense to dismiss it. — Anonymous
Use it alongside other tests: We should use all available resources. The more information we have, the better decisions we can make. — Nova
No, it's still a useful warning sign: BMI is a quick, useful metric. It cautions people to watch their weight, which is generally a good idea. — Kelly C.
