A recent study of over 480K people over nearly 13 years found that sitting for long periods at work raises your risk of death from all causes by 16% and from cardiovascular disease by 34%—even after considering age, sex, education, smoking, drinking, and body mass index (BMI). The good news? Alternating between sitting and non-sitting or adding 15-30 minutes of [daily physical activity]( reduces these risks to levels similar to those who mostly don't sit at work. Click the link above to learn why reducing prolonged sitting and increasing daily physical activity can lower your risk of disease and death. [What Is a Brain Scan and Should You Get One?]( Women over 40 have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's, but routine brain scans aren't always necessary. This informative article discusses how brain scans like MRIs and PET scans can provide crucial insights into brain health, identifying issues like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's early on. However, they aren't necessary for everyone: experts recommend brain scans primarily for those with symptoms or high-risk factors. Instead, preventive care is key, including engaging in regular cognitive and physical activities, maintaining a healthy diet, and managing stress. If you're concerned about memory or mental issues, talk with your doctor about getting tested regardless of age. It's worth noting that insurance companies don't usually cover brain scans, which can cost thousands.   [Coffee-Spiced Meatballs With Mango Chutney]( Looking for a standout dish for your next cocktail party or weeknight dinner? Try these Coffee-Spiced Meatballs with Mango Chutney—I use my favorite Purity Coffee to elevate the recipe and add a more sophisticated flavor (get 30% off your first order, see the details below). The meatballs are spiced for maximum flavor, made with grass-fed ground beef and Berkshire pork, and we skip the usual breadcrumbs in favor of gluten-free almond flour and flaxseed to bind them together. Finish it off with a vibrant mango chutney that offers a delightful spicy-sweet taste. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one!* Love, JJ P.S. Most coffee compromises on quality and health benefits to cut costs, but you deserve better. Purity Coffee uses hand-picked, organic Arabica beans that deliver a complex, balanced flavor profile. I’m a big fan of Balance, their ⅓ Caff Whole Bean Coffee, plus I love having the sachets with me as I’m traveling throughout Europe this summer! Their careful roasting process eliminates toxins and maximizes beneficial compounds, plus rigorous third-party testing ensures the coffee is free from contaminants while maintaining high levels of antioxidants. From 8/1 through 8/15, new customers in my community can save 30% sitewide on Purity Coffee.
