So we recently talked about Anxiety & Depression in a post about dogs & cats.

One of the things we discussed was the life-factors we tend to overlook.

In that case it was Stress, and that’s generally there because we tend to just accept it as something we can’t eliminate.

But just as that post found interesting and unexpected solutions in the form of pets,

Researchers continue to find new solutions to Anxiety & Depression in unexpected places.

With Depression and Anxiety at all-time highs as common mental-health issues,

Many sufferers of these problems might agree, along with the career-focused people,

That Stress is a major concern in daily-life.

And because it seems to be everywhere, stress-management and reduction is a major-concern, too.

Some people try exercise, yoga, meditation, medication, alcohol, CBD, etc.

But as you go, you fall down, pick yourself up, try to extract the value from the event,

And then get going.

Well, important milestones in life and research often follow the same pattern.

Counterfeit Alcohol & Cheap Travel. Buy Now, Pay Later?:
Whenever we go on vacation, we have expectations that things will go well.

Because of that, it’s easy to be a little bit too eager to cut-loose,

And not easy enough to be watchful.

Unfortunately, some American tourists found this out the hard way earlier in the Dominican Republic.

Spending Time Outside & Stealth-Health: A Little Bit Of Nature Every Week Is Surprisingly Good For You

Filed Under: Better Living Through Chemistry

Time Spent Outdoors In Nature, A Little Bit Boosts Your Health:
Oftentimes we think about health only in-terms of diet and exercise.

What you eat, moving around, calories, food-quality; that’s it.

“The only thing a person cares about is their own rice bowl”,-kind-of thinking.

But there are 3 types of health-factors that are much more sneaky.

1) The stuff around you, hiding in plain-sight. 2) The truly-unknown factors on the edge of chaos. 3) The stuff you had but forgot. These are all +/- Invisible.

And if an Exeter team and ancient Japanese philosophers are right, we all have one big counter-civilization benefit; hiding right in plain-sight…

MCTs For Alzheimer’s & MCI: A Tiny Keto Lifeline For Tired Brain Cells:

That and regular Cardio exercise, for about 100 reasons.

But then, all-of-a-sudden, Sherbrooke U.’s Center On Aging comes along and kicks the crap out of that theory, in a very specific way…

Low-Carb Diets & Metabolic Syndrome: No Sugar? No Problem!:
So can diet actually make a difference?

How many times have we all heard about the rare-as-hens-teeth plan or individual with surprising results,

Only to find out they seem unobtainably extreme?

And even if you could get close, aren’t diets just for vanity & the sake of looking-good?

Although those results seem far-off, they aren’t as distant as you might think.

And if an OSU research team can generalize their findings, you might be surprised at the effects a little change can make, especially for health-risks…
