HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ A study published yesterday found that tai chi helped middle aged adults ease chronic insomnia as much as talk therapy in a trial with 200 patients.

- ➤ Scientists found that dogs given CBD supplements over time showed lower aggression.

- ➤ A study using MRI scans of pro fighters found that repeated head hits make the brain’s waste disposal system work harder at first and then slow down—this change could lead to long-term brain damage. Researchers tracked 280 fighters and believe early testing of the system may help guide decisions for rest or treatment. FOX 41
