Every little bit of physical activity helps when it comes to avoiding severe COVID-19. Those who were more physically active before being diagnosed with COVID-19 — even those with chronic illness — had a lower risk of severe outcomes, according to a large-scale study presented in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. People “who were consistently inactive were 191% more likely to be hospitalized and 391% more likely to die than those who were consistently active”, no matter their age or ethnicity, the researchers said. According to lead author Deborah Young, we “need to view physical activity as a pandemic-mitigation strategy”.

If you want a delicious and sustainable dinner, consider swapping your red meat with Spirulina. Research from Israel suggests a daily diet that includes the blue-green algae can boost your health and slow down climate change. Spirulina algae is considered a superfood for its rich protein, iron, and essential fatty acid content. Compared to beef, spirulina is a far superior healthy food choice and would serve as a sustainable meat substitute. The stuff is cultivated in Iceland, which study authors say could be the site for future mass production.

The 1989 rom-com “When Harry Met Sally” is one of 25 films chosen this year to enter the National Film Registry, a list that ranges from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” to a 1898 silent documentary, long thought lost, about the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. Also chosen this year for preservation: Marvel’s “Iron Man,” John Waters’ “Hairspray,” Brian de Palma’s “Carrie” and the 1950 “Cyrano de Bergerac” starring Jose Ferrer, whose performance made him the first Hispanic actor to win a best actor Oscar. The registry is housed at the Library of Congress, which selects movies for preservation based on their cultural and historic importance.

Whether from stress, cold weather or simply falling out of good habits in terms of eating, sleeping and drinking, heart attack rates spike as much as 40% between Christmas and New Year’s, according to cardiologist Dr. Donald Lloyd Jones, chair of preventive medicine at Chicago’s Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He said that looking at heart attack rates, we see “fairly constant rates week by week with two exceptions: One is that there’s a broad, shallow dip in summer months and, two, there is a…spike of about 30-40% in the last couple weeks of the year.” Lloyd-Jones feels that in addition to things like excessive food and alcohol and cold temperatures, the spike could also be a result of the stresses of traveling, and of preparing for the holiday season, as well as the exertion of doing things like shoveling snow.

Life moves pretty fast — but this car does not. An iconic prop Ferrari from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” sold for a cool $337,500 on Saturday — even though it doesn’t actually drive. The replica Ferrari 250 GT California was used in the scene where ‘Cameron Frye’ (played by Alan Ruck) accidentally causes his dad’s prized ride to crash through the garage window to the woods below. Since a genuine California Spyder Ferrari is one of the most sought-after classic cars, producers chose to have 3 highly detailed copies made for the 1986 flick. The prop car was rebuilt as a display piece after production ended.
