However, Jerry Rice also has an impressive track record, and he played during an era in the NFL where illegal hit rules were minimal.

Wearing a helmet while riding your bike or scooter is a simple yet crucial step to ensure your safety. Studies have shown that helmets significantly reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of an accident. By donning a helmet, you create a protective barrier that absorbs impact and shields your brain from potential injury. It's a small precaution that takes less than five seconds to do before you ride, but its impact can change a lifetime

In addition, schools that have moved to later start times have seen positive results. Studies report improved attendance, higher test scores, and fewer behavior problems when students are better rested. Teachers also report that students participate more actively in class discussions. Interestingly, some schools that changed their start times also updated their cafeteria menus to include more breakfast options, such as fruit and yogurt. While this change may improve nutrition, it does not directly explain why later start times improve academic outcomes.
