Welcome back to you need to know, I'm Hanna Do and I'm Christian Scher Time. Now for our good to know headlines and a groundbreaking study may have identified what are being called age reversing chemicals.

A medication used to treat seizures, migraines and mood disorders. While scientists were able to reverse signs of aging in mice and monkeys and the breakthrough could help with treating age related diseases. Cocktails still need to go through human clinical trials. One of the scientists tweeted the finding was quote a step toward affordable whole body rejuvenation. I would say so it's the fountain of youth right there. But I'm glad you mentioned human trials have not been done as of yet. A very important factor and from aging to exercise. If you find yourself waiting until the weekend to squeeze in your workouts, you are not alone, but a new study has found it may just be beneficial to be a so called Weekend Warrior as it is to exercise throughout the week, this report it was published in the journal, Jama looked at more than 100,000 people who use monitors to track their movements over the course of a week found that both daily and weekend exercise schedules showed similar levels of health benefits. The study's lead author says if you're able to get the recommended activity time in one or two days, that could be just as beneficial as exercising daily. Kristen. I know you and I work out actually, I don't work out on the weekends. I work out Monday through Friday. Uh I do light workouts and I have to be honest, the older I get the more beneficial simply breathing and yoga and, and light movement, obviously, you know, moving around is important, but those have been a lot more beneficial for me. What about you? Um I do crossfit during the week, but I think one thing missing in my workout is yoga. That's, that's what I really do miss, I think as we get older, personally, I think yoga is one of those exercises that all of us need to do all those tiny muscles, right? That really matter. And as you get older, in my personal opinion, I think flexibility really is key, right? You don't want to be tight and stiff, you want to be flexible. I think yoga is great for that. Absolutely. An interesting story about one of the country's most popular fast food chains In and Out Burger has banned employees in some states from wearing face masks.
