6 Things People With Exceptional Brain Agility Do Daily

Published by Jenni Sidey

Some people have the rare gift of thinking quickly while also switching gears seamlessly between topics and ideas. It’s similar to how a chess player can predict the different outcomes of a match after only one move almost instantly. That cognitive ability is called brain agility. And while brain processing is something you’re naturally born with, it must also be nurtured with healthy daily habits. Habits people with brain agility prioritize daily to give them an edge in thinking: 1. They have great sleep habits Doomscrolling or binging a TV show can be a great way to make your mind relax, but it doesn’t replace sleep. Sleep helps our brains work effectively. People who stay up too late can start having problems focusing or regulating their emotions.  That’s why people with cognitive agility prioritize sleep over everything else. Even if they’re enjoying a show, they’ll make sure to turn it off when it gets too late. They routinely get seven to eight hours of sleep a night because they know their brains need it.  RELATED: …

How heat is killing people who live in manufactured homes : NPR

Published by Sam Flores

Arizona is at the heart of the country’s heat crisis. Hundreds of people in the state die from heat-related causes every year. Some of those most at risk live in manufactured homes. Ryan Kellman/NPR hide caption toggle caption Ryan Kellman/NPR An NPR investigation finds that heat kills thousands of Americans every year. But official records radically undercount the toll. In this series, we are bringing you stories that reveal why this happens and what can be done. Heat kills thousands of people across the U.S. every year. But not everyone faces the same risk. Some of those most in danger are the millions of Americans who live in manufactured housing like mobile homes and trailers. That’s not news to many mobile home residents. But research and policy are only recently catching up to that reality. Patricia Solis discovered it almost by accident. Solis is a geographer at Arizona State University, which means she uses maps to sleuth out patterns that might otherwise be invisible. In 2018, she was brand new to ASU and tasked with finding …

People are injecting copper peptides ahead of the science : NPR

Published by Sam Flores

Copper peptides have become the darling of social media skin care hacks. People are smearing the electric-blue tincture on their face or drawing the concoction up in syringes. The compound, known as GHK-Copper, or simply GHK-Cu, has gained a massive following because of claims it can deliver firm and wrinkle-free skin, better hair and other anti-aging benefits. The interest, in part, reflects the broader peptide-craze that has increasingly entered the mainstream wellness and longevity space. As with many of these trendy peptides, GHK-Cu isn’t an approved drug, but it does have considerable scientific research behind it. Topical copper peptide serums and creams have been on the market for decades and studied in human trials. What has changed recently is how people are administering this peptide: Instead of slathering it on their face, many are opting to take it as a subcutaneous injection. Sometimes it’s “stacked” with other peptides that are promoted for tissue repair and anti-aging. There is no data from published human studies to show this practice is safe and effective. And the risks …

Nepal Holds a Day of Mourning After Floods Kill at Least 1,300 People

Published by Sam Flores

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Nepal held a day of mourning Monday to remember those killed in the Aug. 26 floods, with flags lowered at government offices and families concluding mourning rituals. Monday was the 13th day since the flooding which killed more than 1,300 people in Nepal and Tibet and left some 5,000 missing, including foreigners, according to Nepal’s disaster management agency. In predominantly Hindu Nepal, mourning periods last 13 days, during which close family members stay home and relatives visit to pay their respects. Rituals are held on the final day to pray for the souls of the departed. Several people whose relatives remain missing performed symbolic funerals. Cremation is an important final rite in Hindu tradition, and performing the ceremony even without the bodies of their loved ones provided some families a sense of spiritual release. The government had declared Monday an official day of mourning and ordered flags at government offices lowered to half-staff. Meanwhile, search efforts continued for the missing, but some protested that not enough was being done. In Kathmandu, …

10 Phrases People Who Are Running Out Of People They Actually Like Usually Say In Casual Conversation

Published by Jenni Sidey

Making genuine connections with people isn’t easy, especially as an adult. It can be difficult for anyone to find someone they genuinely click with, let alone someone who is reserved or a serious introvert who has high standards for connections. It isn’t always because they’re socially awkward. Someone who’s running out of people they like is sometimes just fed up with the fakeness or the outdated social dance that’s expected of them. The people who say things like the phrases in the list below are just being honest, even if it bothers others.  Someone who is running out of people they actually like says these 10 phrases regularly:  1. ‘I’m more of an animal person’ yurakrasil | Shutterstock People who dislike pretty much everyone often can’t help but love animals and pour their energy into them, instead.  Unlike humans, animals are pure-hearted and rarely have devious motives. Animals are relatively easy to read, while humans are unpredictable, and their needs tend to be quite clear.  While people who aren’t that into pets may not get …

8 Things People Raised In The 60s, 70s & 80s Seem Smarter About

Published by Jenni Sidey

People who grew up in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s lived completely different lives than young people today, and despite the technological advances, they may have turned out smarter for it. There are a lot of advantages that come with better tech, but there are also some skills younger generations have never nailed down. Actually, these are skills they are completely clueless about. Meanwhile, older generations are experts. Younger generations struggle with these skills that people raised in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s are pretty much experts at: 1. Navigating on their own Nicolas Menijes via Canva Young people are used to relying on GPS apps to get them everywhere they need to go, and they don’t have a backup plan. In a 2019 survey, 15% of millennials said they had never even attempted to read a paper map, and the statistics have probably gotten worse since then. ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s kids learned an entirely different set of skills. They actually developed a sense of direction. If they wanted to get somewhere, they had …

Laughter therapy offers new hope for millions in UK with common lung condition

Get the Well Enough newsletter with Harry Bullmore for tips on living a healthier, happier and longer life Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Incorporating laughter therapy into treatment plans could help ease respiratory difficulties in patients suffering from a widespread lung condition, new research indicates. Scientists behind the study suggest that the “simple, low-cost” intervention performs on par with conventional breathing drills and may work to “complement existing care” for individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the UK alone, an estimated 1.7 million people suffer from COPD, including roughly 600,000 who remain undiagnosed. The clinical trial evaluated 63 patients diagnosed with COPD who were receiving care at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital in Turkey. Researchers assigned a third of the group to laughter therapy sessions, while the remaining participants were guided through pursed-lip breathing routines or received no specialised exercises. Rather than relying on an inhaler, people could turn to laughter therapy (PA) After being shown how to perform the techniques, patients …
