There are some alarming discoveries about the impact of social media on young people. We are learning of more evidence of its effects on their brain development. Olivia Mead, 17, is among the first to admit her relationship with social media is not exactly healthy.

An examination of genetic data from the UK Biobank reveals that individuals with a higher genetically estimated lean body mass (i.e., the mass of muscles, bones, and non-fat tissues) exhibit a lower likelihood of contracting Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, those with a higher estimated lean mass in their arms and legs tended to demonstrate superior cognitive performance.
