Why Rucking Is One of the Best (and Most Underrated) Forms of Exercise
In the last few years, rucking has exploded in popularity, but not everyone knows what it actually is. Simply put, rucking means walking with a weighted backpack (or rucksack). Originally used in military training, it's a low-impact workout that helps you burn serious calories and build muscle without the joint strain of higher-impact exercise. "Rucking is sort of the main activity of physical training in the military, just throwing weight in a backpack and going for a long walk," researcher and best-selling author Michael Easter said in an interview with Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. "I've actually started to shift my language from using the term rucking to simply saying walking with weight or weighted walking." If you've ever rucked, you know it's one hell of a workout. Not only does it absolutely destroy (in a good way) your cardiovascular system, but by mile five, your legs are burning and your shoulders are crying from the fact that you just look hardcore walking around with weight on your back, rucking comes with a ton of benefits—from boosting endurance and improving cardiovascular health to expanding your low-impact workout options. It's easier on the joints than running, yet it torches more calories than your average walk. 'The benefit is that you're getting a cardio stimulus because you're covering ground, but you're also getting strength work because you've loaded your skeletal system,' says Easter. 'It's a two-in-one—so you generally burn more calories per mile than walking or running, simply because you've added extra weight.' Not to mention, rucking helps fill the gaps in a lot of people's training. In the world of health and fitness, most athletes tend to fall into one of two camps: gym bro or runner. While hybrid athletes have started to change that, plenty of people still stick to one lane. According to Easter, rucking not only gets people outside—it gives them a way to improve their cardiovascular health without the joint strain of running. 'It's one of these activities that can really fill in gaps in people's training,' he says. 'It gets people outside. There [are] a lot of gym people who are like, 'Yeah, I lift all the weights, but I'm not doing that running thing.' A lot of people can't run, but walking feels a little too easy, so I'm not going to do that. If you can throw some load on someone and have them go for a walk, it gets them outside [and] helps them preferentially burn fat compared to something like running.'

Washington, Oregon sue Trump admin for sharing Medicaid files with immigration enforcement
Washington's Nick Brown is among the state attorneys general suing over the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for sharing Medicaid patients' files with the Department of Homeland Security. (Photo by Ryan Berry/Washington state Standard) Washington and Oregon's attorneys general are suing the federal government for sharing residents' Medicaid records with federal immigration enforcement officials. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and Washington Attorney General Nick Brown, alongside 13 other Democratic state attorneys general, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday challenging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for sharing Medicaid patients' files with the Department of Homeland Security, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is housed. The Health and Human Services Department, it's secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the Homeland Security Department and it's secretary, Kristi Noem, are listed as defendants. California Attorney General Rob Bonta is leading the lawsuit, which also includes the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The state attorneys argue that sharing personal health data violates federal administrative procedure laws and federal privacy laws. States are asking the court to block any new transfer of data, and the use of any data currently held by Homeland Security and ICE for immigration enforcement purposes. Since Congress established Medicaid seven decades ago, 'federal law, policy, and practice has been clear: the personal healthcare data collected about beneficiaries of the program is confidential,' officials from Brown's office said in a news release. On June 13, the state attorneys general learned through news reports that officials at the Health and Human Services Department transferred Medicaid data files to ICE officials. Those reports indicate that the federal government plans to create a database for mass deportations and other large-scale immigration enforcement purposes, Brown said in a news release. 'Washington residents expect that the confidential information they give to the government to access medical treatment will only be used for healthcare purposes,' Brown said in a news release. 'Their data should not go towards creating a giant database of Americans' personal information or used so that ICE can deport undocumented immigrants because they had to go to the doctor.' Oregon and Washington are among seven states that offer Medicaid to eligible adults regardless of immigration status, and are among 14 states, plus Washington, D.C., that cover children regardless of immigration status. Oregon has 100,000 people enrolled in its 'Healthier Oregon' program, a state-funded program which provides access to Medicaid coverage regardless of immigration status, according to the Oregon Health Authority. About 49,000 people of the nearly 2 million people in Washington who rely on the state's Medicaid Program Apple Health have an immigration status that makes them ineligible for federal funding. 'This has a chilling impact on people who need healthcare in our country,' Rayfield said in the news release. 'Parents may choose not to take their kids to the doctor because they're afraid of what may happen. We need to protect the privacy and dignity of every person who calls Oregon home.' UPDATED at 5:50 p.m. with information from the filed lawsuit and a link to the lawsuit.

What Does Sperm or Semen Taste Like?
What you eat, drink, or otherwise ingest can all affect the chemical composition and taste of your semen. Salty. Sweet. Bitter. Metallic. Sharp. Sour. You name the flavor, and there's a chance your semen will taste that way one day. Why? Thank all of the chemical compounds. What you consume on a daily basis — from certain foods to other substances — can change the compound composition, which will have a subtle effect on the flavor of your semen. That also means the taste can vary from person to person, so although semen is generally warm and salty, there will be unique differences in flavor. Read on to learn more about what may change the taste of semen and how it does so. How does your diet affect the taste? Diet can affect the smell of sweat, saliva, and other bodily fluids such as breast milk, so it makes sense to assume that diet may also alter the taste of semen. However, not enough research exists to show a strong link between diet and semen flavor. The big offenders that anecdotally give semen a musky, bitter smell and taste include: garlic onions broccoli cabbage leafy greens asparagus meat and dairy products The alleged items that may help make the flavor of semen a little more tolerable include: celery parsley wheatgrass cinnamon nutmeg pineapple papaya oranges More tolerable, however, does not mean your semen will taste sweeter. These foods are thought to cut down on semen's natural alkalinity levels. The pH range of semen is 7.2 to 8.2, which means these foods may contribute to less bitterness to the taste, not an added sweetness. How does alcohol affect the taste? Alcohol can affect your sweat, which in turn can affect your scent and possibly the taste of your semen. Anecdotal evidence suggests that alcohol can create a bitter and sour flavor, but this will largely depend on the type of alcohol you drink. Hard liquor, for example, is said to have a greater impact on flavor than beer or wine. Generally speaking, heavy alcohol consumption can have a negative effect on your sperm motility, quality, and quantity. But less is known about how it may affect its taste and smell. How can tobacco and other substances affect taste? Tobacco, coffee, and other drugs are thought to contribute to smelly sweat. As such, they may also affect your semen. Consuming any of these can reportedly cause the flavor to become more bitter, pungent, or sour. Tobacco and other substances may also affect your sperm motility, count, and quality. How can your hygiene affect taste? Hygiene is the real key when it comes to semen taste. If you don't practice proper hygiene, it's not going to be great down there, regardless of what you eat, drink, or otherwise ingest. You should make sure to thouroughly clean the area around your penis and testicles. Inadequate hygiene has the potential to make your semen — and everything else — less palatable. To keep your private parts clean: Invest in a gentle, nourishing soap that you can use to clean your groin every day. Apply moisture-absorbing body powders or creams around the area to soak up any sweat to help prevent odors. Keep your pubic hair trimmed or remove all hair if that's your preference. Eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise are also thought to help enhance your semen's smell and taste, though the effects may only be short-term.
