SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
According to a new study, you’d get a much bigger health boost by going hard for 3 minutes, than you would from over an hour of regular exercise. Rockefeller University researchers found that a few minutes of intense exercise can trigger a surprisingly powerful response in the body. In tests, six 30-second all-out cycling sprints changed 714 blood proteins, compared with just 7 after 90 minutes of moderate cycling. Some of the proteins were associated with lower risks of heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes, although that doesn’t prove sprints prevent those conditions. They also found evidence that muscles release many of these proteins, which may affect fat cells and metabolism.

Saoirse Ronan is “dead serious” about playing a ‘James Bond’ villain. As the race to play 007 amps up — with Ronan’s husband, Jack Lowden, among the rumored contenders. The star of “Little Women” and “Lady Bird” told Empire: “I said that I wanted to be a Bond villain and I’m dead serious.” She added that she thinks it would be “really interesting” to have a “young female villain.” She feels it would be especially interesting for female viewers “to see someone who can just take all that pent-up anger and direct it somewhere, there’s something interesting in that dramatically.”
The 4 upcoming biopics of each member of The Beatles – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr – will eventually move out of theaters and onto Netflix, thanks to a deal between Sony Pictures and the streamer. The Fab Four films, all directed by Sam Mendes, will see Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan playing John, Paul, George, and Ringo in “The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event”. The unprecedented production, which will see each biopic from the perspective of a different Beatle, is set for cinematic release in April 2028.
Life is a highway, I’m gonna ride it all the way to the movie theater…again. Disney and Pixar are rereleasing “Cars” in theaters to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

This theatrical rerelease also happens to coincide with “Cars Lightning McQueen Day”, which is observed on Sept. 5, in honor of the character’s race car number, 95.

OF THE DAY
If the world ever goes completely sideways, scientists say Australia is probably the safest place to ride it out. Researchers found that its geographic isolation, abundant food production, natural resources, industrial capacity, and relatively stable government make it unusually resilient to global catastrophes. New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland and Argentina also ranked highly. Of course, Australia isn’t disaster-proof – it still depends on international trade for essentials like fuel, medicine and fertilizer. So, maybe pack a few snacks.
If your beauty treatment seems to be working,
remember THIS: Looking younger doesn’t mean your skin is actually
getting younger. A new review of 136 studies on fillers, lasers,
microneedling, PRP and other popular treatments found surprisingly
little evidence of true biological rejuvenation. The review found
that 76.5% provided inadequate evidence of rejuvenation under the
researchers’ criteria. Most focused on collagen production, but
researchers say more collagen alone doesn’t prove aging skin has
regenerated. The findings don’t mean these treatments don’t work
– they can improve appearance and texture. But claims that they
actually reverse skin aging may be getting ahead of the science.

WEIRD NEWS
Move over, mud masks. A Maine farm is offering humans a chance to experience life like…an organic cow. Stonyfield Organic is getting set to launch a limited-time “Organic Cow Spa” in September at Rainbow Valley Farm in Sidney, where guests will pay $120 for a “cow-inspired” wellness experience. The retreat will include cow cuddling, massages, aromatherapy, a meditation trail, foot care (inspired by the hoof-care cows receive, of course…), and a fresh organic green juice. The concept is based on the fresh air, sunshine, pasture, and relaxation enjoyed by organic cows. Guests can even meet calves while unwinding in the countryside. LINK: www.stonyfieldorganiccowspa.com

THE LIST
WHAT YOUR TOASTED MARSHMALLOW SAYS ABOUT YOU:
➠ Perfectly Browned On All Sides – You are an anal-retentive perfectionist, a nit-picker who will devote unreasonable amounts of time to ensure that every project is done ‘just so’.
➠ Blackened – You are a creative and high-strung latent pyromaniac who is seldom punctual, easily distracted, and has difficulty paying attention to detail.
➠ Crusty Outside, Gooey Inside – You are an overly-sensitive individual who detests any form of criticism and has trouble expressing innermost feelings. Rather than facing problems head-on, you waste time brooding about them.
➠ Slightly Tanned on One Side – You are a shy introvert who tends to underestimate the effort and time required to accomplish a task. You have an unreasonable fear of everyday things … fire, for instance.
➠ Raw – You are a lusty and likely overweight thrill-seeker who refuses to even consider the concept of delayed gratification. Rather than plan ahead, you want immediate satisfaction.
