******** Working out may help the immune system target cancer cells, new study in mice suggests
Exercise may help to fight cancer by changing the inner workings of certain immune cells, according to an important new study in mice of how running affects tumours. The study involved rodents but could also have implications for understanding how exercise might affect cancer in people as well.
We already have considerable and compelling evidence that exercise alters our risks of developing or dying from malignancies. |

******* So many people never ask themselves what they want. Maybe it's because they think they have everything already, or because they're afraid it's too late.

******* Here are some of the main ways behavioral economists say we let ourselves down.
\Nobel thinking.
Sorry to say it, but you’re not perfect. We like to believe that we are smart, rational creatures, always acting in our best interests. In fact, dominant economic theory these days often makes that assumption.
What was left of this illusion was further dismantled by the The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, who awarded the Nobel prize in economics to Richard Thaler, an American economist at the University of Chicago, for his pioneering work in behavioral economics, which examines humanity’s flaws—namely, why we don’t make rational economic decisions. |
