Traveling can be stressful for everyone, but even more so for me, as I have bipolar disorder. Many of my trips are long, especially the ones to the US, so it can take up a lot of space. Being prepared for the trips with bipolar disorder means eating well and getting a lot of good rest and exercise before the trip. AdvertisementI don't use sleeping pills, but I do take melatonin a few days before a long flight and continue for as long as needed once I arrive. Having bipolar disorder always presents daily challenges whether I'm in the air or on the ground.

☆ Use this 60-second exercise when you're stressed at work, says Harvard-trained psychologist: ‘Anyone can do it’
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Lindsay Bira swears by freediving — lengthy stints of underwater diving while holding your breath — as a stress reduction method. When you're stressed at work, practicing a "breath hold" freediving exercise at your desk can help, Bira said on Wednesday at the 2023 NeuroLeadership Institute Summit in New York. It only takes 60 seconds. "You are, physiologically, totally capable" of holding your breath longer than 60 seconds, but your brain starts to send distress signals before you reach the milestone, she added. When you take a second — or 60 seconds — to breath-hold and reframe your thinking in those moments, you're doing something called "reappraisal," Bira said.

☆ Microsoft’s Bing AI demo called out for several errors

CNN —Microsoft’s public demo last week of an AI-powered revamp of Bing appears to have included several factual errors, highlighting the risk the company and its rivals face when incorporating this new technology into search engines. At the Bing demo at Microsoft headquarters, the company showed off how integrating artificial intelligence features from the company behind ChatGPT would empower the search engine to provide more conversational and complex search results. When asked, “What were Meta’s fourth quarter results?” the Bing AI feature gave a response that said, “according to the press release,” and then listed bullet points appearing to state Meta’s results. But Bing stated information that appeared to be attributed to the article that was, in fact, not actually there. For example, Bing said one crib had a “water-resistant mattress pad,” but that information was listed nowhere in the article.

According to Clarke, the squeeze and release technique is great for lessening that tension and releasing anger. This stress release practice takes less than a minute to do and helps combat anxiety.

Если вы один из многих, кто не мыслит себе утро без кофе, не пропустите эту попытку. Считающийся французами «золотом кухни», шафран, который получают из цветка крокуса, может не быть основной специей на многих кухнях (хотя его можно купить во многих бакалейных магазинах). Согласно Healthline, шафран, среди прочего, может облегчить симптомы ПМС у женщин, стимулировать либидо, предотвратить деменцию и снизить кровяное давление. Это может стать одной из причин, по которой он может стать отличным дополнением к утреннему напитку. Добавьте эту смесь кофе с шафраном в турку и заваривайте как обычно.

Un studiu din 2020 publicat pe una dintre cele mai vechi reviste medicale din Marea Britanie, BMJ.com, arată că dietele populare pur și simplu nu funcționează. Dietele au fost grupate în următoarele trei categorii: cu conținut scăzut de carbohidrați; cu conținut scăzut de grăsimi; cu conținut moderat de macronutrienți. Un alt studiu din 2018 a arătat că mai mult de jumătate din greutatea pierdută a fost recâștigată în decurs de 2 ani, iar la o distanță de 5 ani, mai mult de 80% din greutatea pierdută a fost recâștigată. Dimpotrivă, dietele creează o relație restrictivă și o asociere negativă cu mâncarea, iar mulți dintre cei care aleg să se depriveze de mâncare ajung să înrăutățească, de fapt, problema. Trebuie să identifici ce funcționează cel mai bine pentru tine și să găsești echilibru în structura mesei”, a declarat specialista pentru Healthline.com.

☆ Как ежедневное употребление яблок влияет на здоровье
▼ + stars: | 2020-12-20 | by ( Super User | ) mybusiness.md time to read: +3 min

В медицинском журнале исследователи рассказали о том, как ежедневное употребление этого фрукта влияет на самочувствие и показатели здоровья человека в долгосрочной перспективе. Исследования показывают, что употребление большего количества яблок снижает риск развития ряда хронических заболеваний, включая болезни сердца. Согласно одному обзору 41 исследования, потребление большего количества яблок было связано со снижением риска развития рака легких. Другое исследование обнаружило аналогичные результаты, сообщив, что употребление большего количества яблок было связано с более низким риском развития колоректального рака. Ученым также удалось доказать, что употребление яблок может помочь уменьшить окислительный стресс, предотвратить снижение когнитивных способностей и замедлить признаки старения.

La începutul acestei săptămâni, am aflat că Scoția devine prima țară din lume care oferă gratuit absorbante și tampoane. Tot atunci, rezultatele sondajelor au arătat că fiecare a cincea femeie nu-și poate cumpăra absorbante și de aceea folosește drept absorbante – haine vechi, șosete sau ziare. Monica Lennon, membră a Parlamentului din Scoția, a cerut guvernului să facă încă un pas și să asigure toate femeile cu absorbante. „Femeile nu ar trebui să aleagă între a pune cina pe masă și a cumpăra produse de igienă pentru ele și fiicele lor”, a spus ea. În această perioadă, ele au nevoie de condiții de igienă, servicii și produse necesare pentru a-și continua activitatea în regim obișnuit.
