What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Why is excersise always the answer?
Our body is made to move, so much of our body is dedicated to it, so much of our brain is dedicated to it.
Idk why but it makes sense
Exercise (moving muscles) helps the lymphatic system 'pump' cellular waste to areas it can be processed.
Not always.
Only for those people whose activity level is less than the body expects / requires.
Which is most people in the "Western World"
My gardener friend's health issues are not ones that could be solved by exercise. They have a heart condition caused by over exercise just from their job.
Serious question, what heart condition does one get from over exercising (we can over-exercise other muscles, so why not the heart)?
I'm not doubting, just wondering what to go lookup.
Anything that doesn't allow adequate rest and recovery becomes a damaging stressor.
In this case it's Arrhythmia
So he has an arrhythmia and contues working hard? Do you know what type of arrhythmia? Everything I've read about them seems they're rather debilitating when they occur (depending on the type).
Really interesting situation here, I can't imagine working through something like that (I've had it happen, randomly, so docs can't diagnose. But it's no fun, and I can't imagine trying to do anything while it's occurring).
Exercise can also be very damaging to people with ME/CFS as it triggers Post Exertional Malaise (PEM), which sometimes permanently reduces a patient's baseline.
Ah, downvotes by the ignorant.
