Itching to Evolve
I hope you had a very special Darwin Day on February 12. My honey and I spent it as a romantic evening watching some special videos. They gave me the urge to write about an intimate subject. The vids were about the current state of evolutionary theory, especially regarding us humans. And now I can't resist my desire to write about itching.
I “Heart” Chocolate
With Valentine’s Day today, many women will soon be opening heart-shaped boxes of chocolate. This sweet indulgence is a once-a-year splurge for many women. But this customary gift may tell that special woman in your life that you love her, and her heart.
Would You Prefer Memory Training, or a Life?
By life, I mean things like normal activities, intellectual pursuits, games or events with friends (or by yourself, for that matter), and the like. A Cochrane review (of 24 trials over 37 years that had 2,229 subjects), found that there was "surprisingly little evidence" supporting the use of cognitive training programs for memory improvement compared to other activities for people age 60 or older, with or without mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Strike a Pose to Reduce Anxiety
Yoga is a practice almost as old as time itself. It combines mental and physical elements that people today use to enhance spirituality, exercise, decrease stress, and increase well-being. While many practitioners of yoga seem almost mystical and more philosophical than the average bear, a new study proves that you need not be a yogi to achieve the anti-anxiety benefits of yoga.
