From Racing Great-Grandpas to Rescued Chickens (The Lost Episodes)

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with another episode of the Lost five Good News Stories. Now, if you don't know what's going on here, I recently found a file on my computer called good News twenty four which had apparently quite a few scripts I never recorded last year. So what I thought i'd do is all right, I'll record them and i'll make them extras on Saturday, so it's still good news, it just might have a little dust on it. For example, Eric celebrated his eighty fifth birthday a few months ago, he decided to race his great grandson. Eric told the BBC I intended on walking, but when I got there with my great grandson, I decided to run the race. His great grandson beat him by seven minutes. Now Eric is no slouch. He is a pioneering Welsh running athlete. He's medled at eighteen consecutive British Masters Championships at various distances. Meanwhile, while scientists have developed a vaccine for bees that helps protect the bees from harmful pesticides, researchers found that feeding beads hydrogyll microparticles in sugar water boosted bees survival rates. By thirty percent when exposed to lethal doses of a pesticide class that I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce. The particular pesticide damage the bees nervous systems. The treatment binds to and neutralizes the pesticide, allowing to pass through the bees without causing them many harm. Bees are going to be happy for that. Scientists are getting it done. They have determined that even a little exercise can reduce the risk

1:33 of dementia. The British Journal of Sports Medicine published a study that examined cognitive function with the aim of understanding the impact of exercise. The researchers took into account variables like age, diets, smoking and alcohol, nightly sleep, educational attainment. They controlled for those factors. They found that even weekend warriors, you know, people that exercise once or twice a week, were twenty five percent less likely to develop mild dementia than those who didn't exercise at all. Those who were regularly active at least three times a week were eleven percent less likely. Now, interestingly, those who are regularly active at least three times a week were eleven percent less likely. Yeah, I'm making the same face you are right now. The study didn't get into while the weekend warriors are actually doing better than the regular exercisers, is the lesson here to exercise less that could be good news in itself.

2:23 Don't take medical advice from some dude recording a podcast in his basement. Get actual medical advice from professionals. Use five Good News Stories for entertainment purposes only. Scientists estimate that thirteen percent of mild dementia cases could be avoided if all middle aged adults exercise at least once or twice a week. A social media star, Megan regularly posts videos of her cat Monkey Now. A few months ago, again, these are the lost episodes of five Good News Stories. Megan had gone to the convenience store with Monkey. Monkey showed up with a lottery ticket. She scratched it off. She thought she had won five pounds, but no, she had won tenuns. A social media user said, see he's providing for you and good news. Out of Oklahoma last September, these are the lost episodes. Some Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers rescued some chickens that had fallen off the back of a truck and were stranded on the Highway. The OHP set on social media that the truck with a makeshift trailer lost multiple chickens over the course of about a mile westbound. This happened on I forty four, so if you were in traffic a few months ago and you're like, what is going on? There were chickens on the I forty four. Trooper Carlos saw a woman trying to corral a chicken using the concrete barrier, so he relieved her of her duties. According to social media, trooper Carlos was able to wrangle the chicken and the rest of the birds were eventually successfully rescued. The OHP said sometimes even the chicken needs help crossing the road. Love it, that's it.
