Kyle Kuzma will be a free agent when the league’s annual offseason shopping period starts next week.Kuzma has declined his $13 million player option with the Washington Wizards for next season, a person with knowledge of his decision said Tuesday, meaning he will be a free agent. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side disclosed the move.ESPN first reported Kuzma had declined the option. The move was not a surprise: Kuzma had said to The Washington Post and The Athletic in December that he was not planning to exercise the option, and given what he will command on the market, his decision makes sense.Kuzma is coming off the highest-scoring season of his six-year career. He averaged 21.2 points for the Wizards, who are finalizing a trade that will send three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns. It’s possible that Kuzma could return to Washington on a far more lucrative deal; $13 million for someone averaging more t...

Tomar siestas durante el día puede ser bueno para nuestro cerebro, revela un estudio

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:13:57 GMT

(CNN) — Tomar siestas durante el día puede ayudar a mantener la salud del cerebro a medida que envejecemos, según un nuevo estudio. Sin embargo, investigaciones anteriores han demostrado que las siestas en exceso también pueden ser perjudiciales.La práctica habitual de la siesta se relacionó con un mayor volumen cerebral total, lo que se asocia a un menor riesgo de demencia y otras enfermedades, según investigadores del University College de Londres (UCL) y la Universidad de la República de Uruguay.En promedio, la diferencia de volumen cerebral entre los que toman siestas y los que no equivalía a entre 2,5 y 6,5 años de envejecimiento, según los investigadores.“Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que, para algunas personas, las siestas diurnas cortas pueden ser una parte del rompecabezas que podría ayudar a preservar la salud del cerebro a medida que envejecemos”, dijo la autora principal Victoria Garfield, investigadora de la UCL, en un comunicado.Aunque el estudio estuvo...
