16-yr-long ADHD study proves researchers' hypothesis wrong

Key Points:

• In Tanzania, local organizations like MEDEA, supported by Malala Fund and Pura, use culturally relevant methods such as film and community events to address barriers to girls' education, including gender bias and early marriage.
• The Pura x Malala Fund fragrance collection connects global audiences to local education initiatives in Tanzania, Brazil, Nigeria, and Pakistan by incorporating native scents and donating a portion of proceeds to support girls' education.
• In Brazil and Nigeria, partners Odara and the Centre for Girls’ Education implement mentorship and safe space programs to empower Black, quilombola, Indigenous, and Nigerian girls to overcome racial discrimination and early marriage, promoting school completion and self-advocacy.
• A study from the University at Buffalo highlights handgrip strength and sit-to-stand chair lifts as key predictors of longevity in women over 60, recommending muscle-strengthening exercises and protein intake to improve these metrics.
• Research from Yale University shows that nearly half of adults over 65 can improve mental or physical health, with positive attitudes toward aging playing a crucial role; recommended activities include walking, resistance training, and meditative movements like yoga and tai chi.
