💡 THE BIG IDEA: FOOD VS. GENES
What’s happening: A 34-year study found that a Mediterranean diet (olive oil, whole grains, nuts, vegetables, fish) lowers dementia risk—even in people genetically prone to Alzheimer’s.
Why it matters:
Genes aren’t destiny. Lifestyle choices can literally override high-risk DNA.
FutureProof Take:
Longevity hacks don’t always come from a lab—they come from your grocery cart.
➡️ Action Step:
Swap two meals this week for Mediterranean-style plates. Add olive oil, nuts, and fish. Think fork-as-medicine.

WHEN YOU SLEEP MATTERS MORE THAN HOW MUCH
What’s happening:
A landmark study found that night owls with delayed sleep timing have a 46% higher risk of heart disease—even if they clock 7 hours—compared to early sleepers with same duration.
Why it matters:
Sleep quality isn’t enough. When you sleep creates metabolic and cardiovascular differences independent of duration.
FutureProof Take:
If your schedule flips between early work and late weekends, your heart feels it—even if you’re logging 8 hours.
➡️ Action Step:
Aim to sleep between 10 pm–6 am—consistently. Treat timing as non-negotiable, not flexible.
💰 U.S. T-Bill Auction Breaks $100B—Gen Z Starts Playing Safe Money
What’s happening:
This week, the U.S. Treasury auctioned a record $100 billion in 4-week T-Bills, up from $95 billion prior—marking a surge in short-term safe yield demand among younger investors.
Why it matters:
It’s not just wealth transfer coming—it’s a wealth mindset shift. Young investors are prioritizing real yield over risky bets.
FutureProof Take:
Your next financial edge? Parking idle capital in safe, liquid tools—especially when markets get volatile.
➡️ Action Step:
If you have surplus cash, buy a 4-week T-Bill via TreasuryDirect. Let it accumulate yield instead of sitting inert.
