An opinion piece argues that staying active into old age comes down to seven simple, sustainable habits—treat movement like brushing teeth, walk everywhere, choose enjoyable activities, prioritize consistency over intensity, stay social, adapt to injuries, and start in midlife—backed by research on habit formation and longevity.
A Lancet analysis finds that just 5 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous activity can cut mortality for the most sedentary by up to 6%, and about 10% for the broader population. Reducing daily sedentary time by 30 minutes is linked to roughly 3% fewer deaths among high-risk groups and about 7% fewer deaths overall, showing that small, regular movement—like a walk around the block—can meaningfully extend life without requiring Olympian workouts.
EA and Battlefield Studios released Update 1.1.3.5 for Battlefield 6 to boost polish and consistency, tweaking melee responsiveness, sprint buffering, and knife reliability, refining jet combat with reduced cannon damage against other jets/helicopters, and fixing UI/HUD issues, ladder interactions, and a vehicle-explode bug that could occur during takedowns. The patch goes live January 20, 2026, and Season 2 content has been delayed to February 17, 2026, meaning new maps, weapons, and vehicles won’t arrive until then.

Emanuel argues against wellness hype and offers six practical shifts: replace extreme trends with steady movement (about 150 minutes weekly), eat with others and cook real food while limiting ultra-processed snacks, ditch obsessive habit-tracking and screen-time rules, view wellness as just one part of a full life not the sole focus, and build cognitive and social richness through hobbies and diverse mental activities to sustain healthy habits with pleasure and consistency.

A study from McGill University challenges the traditional view of dopamine's role in Parkinson's disease, suggesting it provides the basic conditions for movement rather than directly controlling movement speed or force, which could lead to simpler and more targeted treatments.
A McGill-led study challenges the traditional view that dopamine controls movement speed and force, suggesting instead that it acts as a support system enabling movement. The research shows that restoring baseline dopamine levels, rather than fast dopamine spikes, improves movement, which could lead to simpler and more targeted treatments for movement disorders like Parkinson's disease.
Research shows that daily movement and exercise are more important for longevity than BMI, cholesterol, or blood pressure numbers. Regular physical activity reduces inflammation, supports heart and brain health, and can help people live longer regardless of weight or other health metrics. Building a routine of movement, even in small amounts, is a powerful, accessible way to improve overall well-being and promote a longer, healthier life.
Maintaining key daily movements like squatting, balancing, and reaching overhead after 65 indicates better-than-expected body health and function, emphasizing that aging well depends on consistent movement and lifestyle choices rather than just age.
Prolonged sitting for more than 10.6 hours a day significantly increases the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular mortality, even for those with healthy diets and exercise routines. Cardiologists emphasize the importance of incorporating regular movement and NEAT activities throughout the day to mitigate these risks, as sitting leads to decreased nitric oxide, increased inflammation, and metabolic slowdown, all contributing to heart disease.
Many conservatives view Charlie Kirk's death as a galvanizing event that could strengthen the right-wing movement and reinforce conservative Christian values in America, with some seeing it as a moment of martyrdom that will inspire future activism and political shifts.
