Want to lose weight and strengthen your bones? Wear this piece of clothing
So many current weight-loss aids, such as GLP-1 injectables, come with loss of muscle mass as a warned side effect. That’s a disadvantage, because over time, muscles help burn through calories as fuel even when the body is at rest. Also, lower muscle mass is related to problems like higher risk of falls and greater mortality risk as we get older. Exercise scientists and statisticians at North Carolina’s Wake Forest University may have identified one possible solution to all this.

The U.S. stopped minting pennies. Now the old ones are piling up.
For most people, it isn't worth taking $5 of pennies and feeding them into a Coin Star machine. "The money's not worth the time," said economics professor Robert Whaples. It’s illegal to melt pennies for the metal value, but that could change at some point, according to Whaples. The metal in most pennies is worth less than a penny, but if zinc values rise, there might be more push to change the law. For fun, people can determine the value of the metal in their coins by visiting the website Coinflation, he added.

On the other hand, you're considering unemployment, which has also just gone up. I think it puts the Federal Reserve in a really tough spot."

Wearing a weighted vest to strengthen bones? Make sure you’re moving
It’s encouraging news for people trying to lose weight safely, especially older adults who want to drop pounds without losing bone or muscle mass. “If we're going to be putting vests on people, we need to train those people to be up and moving,” said health and exercise science professor Jason Fanning, who also is a primary investigator in a current study looking at how movement affects pain from arthritis. “A vest can be a great tool. But, like any tool, it's not going to do the work for you."
