Regular physical activity is beneficial for health, but research on interventions for young people's physical and mental health remains limited. Tai Chi may have potential benefits, but its effects on young adults are not well - studied. 45 college students were randomly assigned to a Tai Chi (TC) group or a control group. The TC group underwent 45-minute sessions, three times a week for 12 weeks. Physical health performance and alpha-band power of resting-state electroencephalography were measured before and after the intervention. Both groups improved in long jump performance (p < 0.05), but the TC group had a greater improvement (13.73 ± 15.54 vs. 4.91 ± 9.24 cm). The alpha-band power increased in the TC group and decreased in the control group. Tai Chi can enhance physical fitness and alpha-band power in college students, suggesting its potential as a health-promoting activity.

High internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) hold broad application prospects in the modern food industry. This study developed a novel strategy for extracting starch from a non-conventional source (millet) followed by chemical modification to construct a ternary octenyl succinate millet starch/chitosan hydrochloride-epigallocatechin gallate (OMS/CHC-EGCG) complex to stabilize HIPPEs. The OMS/CHC-EGCG complex was assembled through electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding interactions among OMS, CHC, and EGCG.

Background: Cancer-related cognitive impairment is a common complication of cancer and its treatment. The effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-based interventions in improving subjective and objective cognitive function has not yet been investigated in previous network meta-analyses. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions including TCM-based interventions, and to rank the best option for improving cognitive function among adults with non-central nervous system cancer.
