Some of the biggest soccer teams in the world will be training in South Florida over the next 10 days, preparing for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off June 14 at Hard Rock Stadium with Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates taking on Egyptian club Al Ahly. Hard Rock Stadium will host eight games and South Florida facilities will serve as base camp training sites for seven of the 32 teams in the month-long tournament, including Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Boca Juniors, and Borussia Dortmund, FIFA confirmed on Tuesday. Let's hope they packed plenty of umbrellas and rain gear, as the area has been flooded by a deluge that began on Monday and is forecast to continue Wednesday with lighter rain expected the rest of the week. The teams training in South Florida are: Al Ahly (Nova Southeastern University, Davie), Borussia Dortmund (Inter Miami training facility, Fort Lauderdale), Boca Juniors (Barry University, Miami Shores), Chelsea (Nova Southeastern University, Davie), Inter Miami (Inter Miami training facility, Fort Lauderdale), Manchester City (Lynn University, Boca Raton), Real Madrid (Gardens North County District Park, Palm Beach Gardens). 'These sites and more significantly the people and communities that surround them will welcome the world's best, providing first-class environments and hospitality in support of the teams,' said FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström. 'The clubs, their players, coaches, management, staff and fans will build incredible connections with the local people that support them throughout the tournament. This is a consistently important part of any World Cup, and I can't wait to learn about the bonds forged throughout this historic event.' There have been no announcements yet of any training sessions that will be open to the public.

Should You Take Creatine Supplements?

Creatine has long been a popular supplement among athletes and body builders, who say it supplies them with quick bursts of energy needed for high-intensity workouts and helps them build muscle. But on social media, claims about creatine go beyond the weight room, with some users saying it can improve memory, help with recovery after concussions or other head traumas, or even control blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. Is any of this true? We turned to three nutrition and supplement experts to help us sort it out. What is creatine? Creatine is a compound that our liver, kidneys and pancreas make on their own, but we also get it from certain animal products like red meat and fish. After it has been absorbed into the bloodstream and transferred to the muscles, it is converted into another compound called creatine phosphate, which our muscles use to generate energy, especially during high intensity activities like sprinting and weight lifting, said Roger Fielding, a senior scientist at the Jean Mayer U.S.D.A. Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. Because we typically make enough creatine to survive, federal health officials don't make recommendations for how much we should consume, and it is not considered an essential nutrient, said Jose Antonio, a professor of exercise science at Nova Southeastern University in Florida. Most of our bodies require about two grams of creatine per day to perform their basic functions. If you eat meat, you probably get a good chunk of this — about one to two grams per day — from your diet. But your organs also pick up the slack. They synthesize about one to two grams on their own, Dr. Antonio said, except in people with certain rare genetic disorders that affect their ability to produce creatine or move it around the body. Does creatine boost athletic performance? Most studies on creatine supplements, which typically contain a form of the compound called creatine monohydrate, have evaluated their effects on athletic performance and muscle growth, Dr. Antonio said. For people who want to use creatine for improvements in these areas, experts typically recommend taking about three to five milligrams per day in the form of supplements. In healthy people, creatine supplements have largely been shown to be safe, said Dr. David S. Seres, a professor of medicine at the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University Medical Center in New York. Clinical trials and other studies have found that athletes who take creatine supplements can generate 5 to 15 percent more strength or force during short, repeated bursts of activity compared with people who don't take creatine supplements. 'This performance-enhancing effect is pretty well-documented,' Dr. Fielding said. Creatine has also been shown to help build muscle among people who do regular strength training. In a 2022 analysis and review of 35 clinical trials involving nearly 1,200 adults, researchers found that people who took creatine supplements while resistance training increased their lean body mass (or the weight of everything in their body except fat) by an average of more than two pounds. The trials involved different dosages of creatine over different lengths of time, from one week to four months. But are these improvements large enough to be noticeable or meaningful to health or exercise performance? That's the key question, Dr. Seres said. For competitive athletes, a little extra muscle or slightly better performance during, say, a sprint, could be the difference between winning and losing, Dr. Fielding said. But for recreational athletes, those differences may not matter as much. A small increase in muscle mass may, however, be meaningful for people who have low muscle mass or low muscle strength, such as older adults or those with sarcopenia, a condition characterized by age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, Dr. Fielding said. Vegetarians and vegans may also benefit from supplementing with creatine more than meat eaters, he added, because they don't eat the animal protein sources that are naturally rich in the compound. While their bodies may make enough to survive, they may not get the amount associated with additional muscle and performance benefits, he said, but more research is needed to confirm this. Does creatine help with memory, diabetes or other aspects of health? Scientists have begun to evaluate the potential ways supplementing with creatine may benefit people outside the sports realm, but the research so far is limited and the results are mixed, Dr. Fielding said. In a 2024 analysis of 16 clinical trials involving about 500 adults — some of whom were healthy and some of whom had conditions such as Parkinson's disease or schizophrenia — researchers found that various doses of creatine supplements improved people's memory and attention time, but not their overall brain function, including impulse control, planning and response time. While more research is needed, Dr. Antonio said, if you want to try using creatine for cognitive benefits, the limited data we have suggests that at least 10 milligrams per day may be a good place to start. Some studies have also hinted that creatine may help control blood sugar among people with Type 2 diabetes. And researchers are evaluating whether those with traumatic brain injuries (like concussions), neuromuscular conditions (like muscular dystrophy) or heart failure may benefit from supplementing with creatine — but more research is needed in all of these areas. Dr. Fielding said that people with kidney disease should consult a doctor before taking creatine supplements because the nutrient is processed by the kidneys and could strain them further. In fact, he said, if you have any serious medical condition, it might be worth a quick check-in with a doctor. It's always better to be safe when taking anything new, whether it's a supplement or something else, he said.

Floridians Pam Bondi, Marco Rubio at forefront of Trump's controversies

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both joined President Trump's cabinet promising to restore 'integrity' to their offices. Nearly four months in, however, both prominent Floridians are neck deep in administration controversies. Though in a role seen as independent, Bondi says she works 'at the directive of Donald Trump' and has proved her loyalty by threatening judges who rule against him and approving the gift of a luxury jet for Trump's use from the Middle Eastern nation of Qatar — a country she once lobbied for as a Tallahassee consultant. Rubio, meanwhile, has claimed the power to detain and deport students and travelers based on their social media posts and has echoed Trump's rhetoric against allies such as Canada. 'I don't think anybody should be surprised by anything that these two have done, or anybody in the cabinet has done,' said Bob Jarvis, a law professor at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. 'They are not making decisions on their own,' Jarvis said. 'If they demonstrate any kind of independent thinking, they'll be gone very quickly.' But Evan Power, chair of the state's Republican Party, said both have been successes in Washington, D.C. 'Florida Leads the Way!' he said via text. 'Secretary Rubio has done an exceptional job as Secretary of State putting together great deals and peace efforts,' Power texted. 'Pam Bondi has also delivered holding people accountable for supporting illegal immigration.' Bondi was a prosecutor in Hillsborough County before she was twice elected Florida's attorney general in 2010 and 2014. In 2013, she declined to join a multi-state fraud suit against Trump University shortly after the Trump Foundation contributed $25,000 to her associated political committee. She later served as a special advisor to Trump during his first impeachment and backed Trump's efforts to challenge his 2020 election loss. At her contentious confirmation hearing in January, she refused to acknowledge that former President Joe Biden defeated Trump in 2020. 'I don't have to say anything': Pam Bondi dodges 2020 election question at Senate hearing But she did slam what she called a 'weaponized' Justice Department under Biden, which she said 'has to stop.' Following her confirmation along nearly partisan lines, she has repeatedly backed Trump on every controversial and constitutionally questionable act, including freezing and cutting off congressionally-approved funding. In a cabinet meeting last month, she told Trump he was 'overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority,' despite his popular vote margin being the narrowest in 56 years, and said he has the sole authority 'to determine how the money of this country will be spent.' It's in her numerous appearances on Fox News — three dozen as of Monday, according to the New York Times — that she has been most vociferous in threatening those she perceived to be Trump's enemies. She told Fox the judge who ruled to stop sending Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador 'has no right to ask those questions.' She added the administration would 'absolutely' keep the flights going despite the order. In a Fox appearance in April, she said the judiciary was 'deranged' and defended the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan on charges she interfered with immigration enforcement. 'We are sending a very strong message today,' Bondi said. ''We will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.' One point of contention during her Senate hearing was her work with Tallahassee firm Ballard Partners, which received a six-figure monthly fee to lobby for the government of Qatar in advance of the 2022 World Cup. Bondi was registered through the firm to represent the Arab nation, which she defended as 'anti-human trafficking' work. Her ties to Qatar became a major issue this week amid reports she signed off on the royal family gifting the U.S. government a $400 million airliner for Trump's use as Air Force One during his presidency and later for his presidential library and personal use. ABC News reported Bondi wrote in a memo that the gift, which some analysts have argued is prohibited by the Constitution's Emolument Clause banning 'any present … from any King,' was not a bribe and was 'legally permissible.' Bondi 'has been a Trump stooge since she was Florida attorney general,' said Mac Stipanovich, a longtime Republican consultant in Tallahassee who became a registered Democrat in opposition to Trump. 'She's no surprise at all. She is a Trump-Kool Aid drinker, and she's made a lot of money doing it.' It was Rubio, he added, who was the most disappointing of Trump's Cabinet members. The Miami native served as state House speaker before representing Florida in the U.S. Senate for 14 years. 'He had such good potential,' Stipanovich said. 'He's a bright man, he's a capable man. There was a time at which he appeared to have principles. But he, like so many others, has succumbed to the gravitational pull of Donald Trump.' Rubio was seen as a well-qualified appointment amid more ideological, and less-traditional, cabinet picks such as Pete Hegseth at Defense and Sean Duffy at Transportation. But, Jarvis said, 'he only looked good in comparison.' After being unanimously confirmed — the only Trump pick to get every Democratic vote in the Senate — Rubio almost immediately was put in charge of the dismantling of the USAID foreign aid agency, which he once called 'critical to our national security.' He also echoed Trump's rhetoric about Canada becoming the '51st state' while on a trip to Canada. Rubio has been at the forefront of the controversial detentions of students. In the case of Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk, who was detained for weeks before a judge ordered her temporary release, the administration never offered any evidence beyond a single op-ed she wrote in a student newspaper. Rubio said he would be 'revoking the visas and/or green cards' of hundreds of other international students he determines to be 'Hamas supporters in America' based on their social media or protest history. U.S. revokes visas from 15 international students at UCF, detains one Rubio was also the key player in the agreements with El Salvador president Nayib Bukele to send Venezuelan migrants to the country's jails for alleged gang membership, often without due process. He told a journalist last month he would 'never tell' if he had gotten in touch with El Salvador to return Abrego Garcia, a migrant the government admitted was wrongly swept up in a raid of alleged gang members. 'And you know who else I'd never tell?' Rubio asked. 'A judge.' Rubio, however, has received wider-ranging credit for working to negotiate a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and for easing some tensions with his European counterparts over negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine. As to why Rubio has become such a Trump loyalist, Stipanovich said he thinks it is to prepare for a future run for president. 'I'm not sure that there's a single principle held by any member of the Trump cabinet,' he said. 'If there is, I don't know what it is. And it's certainly not held by Pam Bondi or Marco Rubio.'

Burnout is real. Miami experts say you should follow this advice to ease stress

Are you happy? Happiness — laughing with loved ones, a purpose in life, something to look forward to — is a factor in whether a person will live a healthy and long life, experts say. Eating healthy, sleeping well and staying active — critical lifestyle changes that can promote healthy aging — are easier to track. But happiness can be difficult to measure, and at times, difficult to feel. 'How do you feel happy if you're dealing with dementia? How do you feel happy if you're a caregiver? How do you feel happy if you're unhoused and dealing with multiple chronic conditions? It's a real challenge,' said Joy Siegel, a professor at Nova Southeastern University. Siegel is also a board member of the private not-for-profit Alliance for Aging. The organization provides resources and services to seniors, their families and caregivers in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. 'Those aren't necessarily happy things, but the reality is that when we look at the present moment, we can feel happy for right now,' from the simple things in life, such as listening to music and helping someone, Siegel said. Even so, people are feeling the squeeze. Groceries, housing and the cost of living is up. A historic number of older Americans are living alone. And seniors who live alone are at higher risk for social isolation, depression, falls and other accidents, hospitalization and death. For those who take on the role of a loved one's caregiver, research also indicates that the stress can worsen physical and mental health. 'It's very important to understand that the stress that you see every day, you encounter every day, it's hard to be happy when you have such stress,' said Tami Muller, a certified happiness trainer and positive psychology coach. And long-term stress can increase the risk of many health problems, including heart disease, sleep, digestive, depression and issues with memory and focus, according to the Mayo Clinic. While you can't avoid stress, you need to give yourself time to recover from stress, Muller said. 'You need to allow yourself to take some recovery during the day — if it's going for a couple of minutes of deep breathing or going for a short walk, good sleep at night, one day a week that you don't answer your phones.' Finding opportunities to relieve stress, laugh and connect with others is becoming even more important in an aging country that is also in a growing mental health crisis. That crisis has particularly hit South Florida kids, teens and older adults hard, according to several experts who spoke during the New Face of Aging: Aging and the Art of Happiness Conference, hosted in May by Alliance for Aging at the Hilton hotel on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. Former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has described the U.S. mental health crisis, which is affecting people of all ages, as being largely fueled by loneliness. 'It's those moments of happiness that may serve as that bridge between a good day and a not good day,' said Siegel, co-chair of the conference and served as the conference's moderator. The caregiver effect People need to take care of themselves before caring for others, similar to how you would secure your own oxygen mask before helping others in a flight emergency, said Dr. James Galvin, director of the Comprehensive Center for Brain Health at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Galvin's team developed a tool a few years ago that can provide a snapshot of how healthy a patient's brain is and how much risk the patient has of developing Alzheimer's and related disorders. 'Caregiving is a biomedical challenge. The actual practice of care giving raises inflammatory markers, increases headaches, increases GI complaints, decreases response to vaccines,' Galvin said. But it also has positive effects. 'Caregiving gives people a sense of accomplishment,' he said. 'They can feel the joy they're providing, the love, the care to their loved one, giving back. It makes many people feel good, has high life satisfaction.' 'Laughter yoga' and other tips to reduce burnout, stress Here are some tips Galvin, Muller, wellness advocate Lauren 'L2' Howard, Dr. Thomas Felke, director of the Shady Rest Institute for Positive Aging at Florida Gulf Coast University, and Arnold Rodriguez, a certified instructor in 'laughter yoga,' gave to help reduce stress and encourage socialization to promote healthier aging: ▪ Laugh, even if nothing funny has happened. Laughter has both positive and long-term effects, including reducing stress and tension, improving your mood, and can even help reduce pain, bolster your immune system, and make it easier to cope with difficult situations, according to the Mayo Clinic. But the funny thing about laughter is that 'the body does not know the difference between forced laughter and actual laughter,' said Rodriguez, the 'laughter yoga' instructor. Laughter Yoga was invented in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria in Mumbai, India, and relies on a mix of breathing and laughing techniques meant to help improve mood and reduce stress. Some studies suggest that laughing yoga, or simulated laughter, 'may be as effective as aerobic exercise at reducing self-reported stress,' although some experts say there's not enough large-scale research yet to determine how beneficial laughing is, according to Healthline. Here's how it works: Breathe deeply through the nose, 'engage our entire torso, and then we're gonna let it out with a smile and a 'ha' sound,' Rodriguez told people at the Miami aging conference. After you do this breathing exercise a few times, breathe in again and when you're ready to exhale, do so with a 'good hearty laugh.' ▪ Find activities you enjoy and engage the brain. Take a class, join a book club, volunteer with a school or nonprofit, join an exercise group, find activities that interest you and give an opportunity to socialize with others. Keeping your body and brain active is also known to help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and other dementia. Walking, for example, can help improve your physical and mental health. 'There's no magic formula so for each person — the things that make them happy is going to be different,' said Galvin, the UM doctor. 'And so you really need to think about what makes you happy and what makes you sad and try to choose those things that make you happy.' Online communities can be a form of support, too, according to Howard, who is also founder and CEO of mental health company LBee Health. 'Everybody has a different set of circumstances and abilities and desires to go out and engage and so when you start treating any place where you can get fulfillment and friendship and camaraderie as community, it opens up a whole lot of opportunities for you to find different pockets that make you feel happy, that you feel welcome, that make you feel included,' Howard said. ▪ Learn new things. 'Once you find that thing you like to do, do something different because the brain likes novel things,' Galvin said. 'So if you exercise and you walk on a treadmill, great. Now, do something different. Swim. Use a resistance band. Take a yoga class, a Tai Chi class. If you read a book, join a book club. If you listen to music, go to a concert. The idea is to challenge yourself each day and so the high activity is the one that's going to give you the most satisfaction and open new doors for you,' he said, noting that Florida residents 60 and older can take college courses for free at Florida public universities, and don't have to worry about homework. ▪ Use tangible rewards as incentives to kickoff healthy lifestyle changes. Howard, the wellness advocate, said she loses interest in things quickly so she's had to find creative ways to get engaged. She switched out her desk for a standing desk to help motivate her to move. She suggests finding ways to 'gamify' your own activity as a completion incentive. Some fitness trackers, for example, give digital metals when you hit certain walking or other fitness goals. ▪ Find people who have the same goals as you. 'Be around people that want to do what you want to do,' to encourage and keep you accountable, Muller said. ▪ Train yourself to think positive, even when things get tough. 'Positive psychology doesn't suggest that there are no challenges, doesn't suggest that there are no difficulties,' Muller said. 'It suggests that we can choose to focus on what works on the bigger picture.' To find resources Visit MORE: Want to live to 100 or older? Experts in Miami suggest taking these five steps now

Long Covid affects millions: Scientists begin trial for potential breakthrough treatment

Long Covid remains a major concern for millions worldwide. After an infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, many individuals continue to experience a wide range of symptoms that disrupt their daily lives. These persistent issues, which can include fatigue, brain fog, and breathing difficulties, are collectively known as Long Covid. The condition is still not fully understood, and it presents with different symptoms. As researchers search for effective treatments, a new clinical trial has emerged, offering hope for those affected. Scientists launch clinical trial for Sipavibart A team of researchers from Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in the United States, in partnership with the Schmidt Initiative for Long Covid (SILC), has launched a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of sipavibart. This long-acting monoclonal antibody, developed by AstraZeneca, has already been approved in countries like Japan and the EU for preventing COVID-19 before exposure. However, this trial is the first time it will be tested for its ability to ease Long Covid symptoms . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo The clinical trial has already enrolled 100 patients and aims to collect data over the next few years to see if sipavibart can help reduce the many symptoms of Long Covid. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this year, researchers are hopeful this treatment could offer significant relief to those affected by the condition. A complex and confusing condition Long Covid is a condition that continues to puzzle both patients and medical professionals. With over 200 reported symptoms, the effects of the illness can vary greatly from person to person. While some people experience only mild symptoms that come and go, others face severe, long-lasting challenges that can severely impact their quality of life. 'Like many multi-symptom, post-viral conditions, Long Covid is incredibly complicated and thus little understood,' explained Dr. Nancy Klimas, director of the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine at NSU. 'Finding a treatment will be life-changing for patients suffering from the myriad symptoms of Long Covid.' The complexity of Long Covid has made it hard to find a treatment that works for everyone. This is why the trial of sipavibart is considered an important step, as it may offer a much-needed solution for those affected. Sipavibart: A promising treatment option Sipavibart's potential as a treatment for Long Covid is still being tested, but there is increasing hope. The monoclonal antibody works by targeting and neutralizing the virus, and researchers believe it could help patients recover more quickly and with fewer long-term health problems. While sipavibart is already approved for Covid-19 prevention, this trial explores its new use to treat the ongoing symptoms of Long Covid. Dr. John Redd, CEO of SILC, pointed out the scale of the problem: 'Long Covid affects at least 65 million people worldwide, and with more than 200 symptoms, the health impacts of the disease can be debilitating. This trial represents our overall commitment to addressing the most pressing health challenges of our time.' A collaborative effort This trial is more than just a study; it's a team effort to address one of the biggest health issues today. With millions suffering from a wide range of symptoms, finding a treatment for Long Covid is critical. Researchers are hopeful that sipavibart could help manage these symptoms and give patients a chance to get back to normal life. 'We're leveraging our research expertise to potentially transform treatment options for millions suffering from Long Covid, advance knowledge, and improve patient outcomes through innovative clinical research,' said Dr. Ken Dawson-Scully, NSU's senior vice president for research and associate provost.
