Cravings can feel almost impossible to resist—whether it’s something sweet, salty, or just tempting in the moment. Yet, there is a simple and somehow satisfying way to stop yourself or at least eat less of what you are craving than you might otherwise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habituation
Your body works in amazing ways. For instance your immune system acquires intelligence over time, how you breathe can have a big impact on preventing disease, and the benefits of human touch are extraordinary. Dr. Giulia Enders, physician, star of the Netflix series Hack Your Health, and author of Organ Speak: What It Really Means to Listen to Our Bodies (https://amzn.to/4tyaxn9), explains how these and other hidden processes work—and how understanding them can help you live healthier and feel better.
Arguments have a way of escalating quickly. Once emotions take over, people often double down, defend themselves, and say things that make the situation worse. But there’s a very different approach that can calm someone down much faster. Doug Noll, mediator, adjunct professor at Pepperdine University’s Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution and author of De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less (https://amzn.to/4cCqJy1), explains how to respond in a way that reduces tension, diffuses anger, and leads to more productive conversations.
Resistance exercise is important for everyone. And when it comes to lifting weights, many people wonder if speed matters—should you lift fast or slow? The answer isn’t as complicated as you might think, but it does depend on what you’re trying to achieve. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25601394/
