  • YOGA AND BRAIN HEALTH

    YOGA AND BRAIN HEALTH
    Feb 21 2023
    If you’re thinking about taking up yoga, there’s evidence it may have benefits beyond what you’re expecting. A study from the University of Illinois suggests hatha yoga may also boost brain function in older adults. Researchers studied people between the ages of 55 and 79. Some attended hatha yoga classes, while the others did stretching and toning exercises. At the end of eight weeks, the group that did yoga three times a week performed better on cognitive tests than it had before the start of yoga classes. They displayed significant improvements in working memory capacity and were also able to perform the tasks quickly and accurately, without getting distracted. The group that did stretching and toning displayed no significant change in cognitive performance over time. The researchers speculate that the focus on body, mind and breath during yoga practice may have carried over to situations outside of the yoga classes, resulting in an improved ability to sustain attention. Over the years, all sorts of health benefits have been attributed to yoga - including boosting the immune system, easing migraines and promoting better sleep.

  • LIQUOR COLOUR AND HANGOVERS

    LIQUOR COLOUR AND HANGOVERS
    Feb 19 2023
    Here’s a tip from scientists on how to avoid a holiday hangover. It may come down to the colour of your preferred tipple. A study out of Brown University found that bourbon gave drinkers a more severe hangover than vodka. They suffered more headaches, nausea, loss of appetite and thirst. One reason could be that bourbon contains 37 times more toxic compounds than vodka does, including nasty organic molecules such as acetone, acetaldehyde, tannins and furfural. Researchers say a good rule of thumb for liquors, is that the clearer they are, the less of these substances they contain. But vodka drinkers aren’t off the hook: Drinkers’ sleep suffered equally with both drinks, as did their performance the morning after on tasks requiring attention and quick responses.

  • 5 SECOND RULE

    5 SECOND RULE
    Oct 17 2022
    You know the famous “five-second rule” —Well scientists are now saying it’s a bunch of baloney to think we can eat dropped food as long as it’s quickly scooped off the floor. Clemson University food researchers re-visited the long debated issue in National Geographic. Though previous research has shown we may have up to a minute to rescue certain types of spilled food before it becomes contaminated, this work makes a strong case for the “zero-second rule.” The study found that salmonella and other bacteria can live up to four weeks on dry surfaces and be immediately transferred to food. The zero-tolerance standard, however, conflicts with the findings by other researchers, who found, for instance, that it takes a minute for apple slices to pick up bacteria from a college dining room floor. Still, most researchers agree that the critical thing is not time, but location. Some say it’s okay to brush off the bagel that fell from the stroller onto the sidewalk and give it to your screaming child, for example, because the pavement is cleaner than the kitchen floor in terms of the types of germs that cause illnesses. They argue the kitchen floor, however, is probably a zero-second zone because the bacteria from uncooked meat and chicken juices are more hazardous than the ‘soil’ bacteria outside. The bathroom floor is another zero-second zone because it’s a great potential source of bacteria and shorter-lived viruses that can cause gastrointestinal illness if ingested.
