After a fruitless call with the pharmacy, Mr. Goldstein, a comedian and writer who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., went for a walk to clear his head and had to sit down. “I went into a complete panic state,” Mr. Goldstein, 32, said. He had become used to wrangling with health care companies over billing mistakes and coverage ever since he was diagnosed with the condition as a teenager. Mr. Goldstein only managed to resolve the matter with CVS after months of calling the pharmacy three times a week. This year, after he hit his insurance deductible, he decided to celebrate by throwing a party.

☆ When Your Workout Stops Working
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Connie Chang | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The first weeks of a new exercise routine can be hard — your muscles tremble, your lungs burn, your heart races. But after a month or two, it gets easier: You’re running faster and longer, or lifting weights with more ease. You’ve hit a workout plateau. After just a few training sessions, the brain can become more skilled at telling muscles to move. For example: “The heart gets stronger and better at pumping blood to the muscles,” said Jeff Horowitz, an exercise physiologist at the University of Michigan.

☆ Does Sugar Actually Feed Cancer?
  + stars: | 2023-07-10 | by ( Connie Chang | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
During the eight years Stacy Shawhan has worked as an oncology dietitian, she has heard many questions from her cancer patients about how their diets influence their prognosis. But one question has come up more than the rest: Will consuming sugary foods and drinks feed my cancer cells, making my condition worse? “Cancer patients are so vulnerable, and some of them are terrified to eat,” said Ms. Shawhan, who practices at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center. Recent polls from the United States and Europe suggest about a third of cancer patients actively avoid sugar. While experts say that diets high in added sugars may increase your risk of cancer over a lifetime, cutting out all sugars doesn’t actually fight existing tumors.
