👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! If you want to lower your blood pressure, just five more minutes of exercise could do the trick. A new study analyzed data from thousands of people who wore activity monitors and estimated the impact of replacing sedentary time with other activities.

Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day:

5 things

1️⃣ ‘Doom spending’: The unemployment rate is low and inflation seems to be under control, but Americans are still feeling anxious. Some people are making impulse purchases to ease the stress, but experts say that can damage your long-term financial health.

2️⃣ 4B movement: No marriage, no childbirth, no dating and no sex with men. Since Donald Trump won the US presidential election, there’s been a surge of interest among young liberal women in a feminist ideology with roots in South Korea.

3️⃣ Bizarre crime: A man accused of killing a person and staging it as a fatal bear attack in Tennessee was arrested on a murder charge. The FBI used Nicholas Wayne Hamlett’s fingerprints to identify him, and authorities said he plotted to steal the victim’s identity.

4️⃣ Prime locations: Vacant restaurants like Red Lobster and TGI Fridays are creating coveted real estate for companies looking to grow, especially fast-food chains that want to install drive-thru lanes where people once sat down for dinner.

5️⃣ Festival of Lights: Parades, light and sound shows and fireworks are taking place all over Thailand this week as people set small floats adrift on the water to bring good luck. The biggest celebration will be in Sukhothai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
