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.
And if the Overseas Security Advisory Council is right, if you don’t look out, a little fun could take a big toll on your health when you travel…

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:
I think we can all agree that despite what we see in the supermarket checkout-lines,
Fad Diets are bullshit.
As a matter-of-fact, most diets are bullshit.
What matters is getting the right number and type of calories, even if your count is iffy.
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…

The Internet’s Effects On Your Brain, The Matrix Has You:
A lot of the time, when we think of health-hazards, the first thing that comes to mind is something like Saturated Fat or Excess Sugar,
Or if you’re really plugged-in, Diesel Exhaust near big cities and highways.
But that gets into things less-explored because it’s easy to ignore what’s around us.
And just like the stealthy air-pollution from engines that are supposed to save fuel,
Other positive initiatives can end up having negative consequences.
And if a team from Western Sydney is right, The Internet itself might be making us less-healthy. No, the irony is not lost here on HT…

Anxiety, Gut Microbes & Nutrition, Unexpected Improvements:
Tracking down any kind of health-hiccup can be a bit of a trial, no matter what it is.
And one of the most difficult things to fix is your mind, where the recommendations become less obvious.
As SCIENCE improves, it’s finding increasingly strange evidence and solutions.
Like the kind of stuff the crazy Meditation crowd has been telling us for the past few thousand years.
And the best friends of the Meditators are the Yoga & Yogurt wingnuts, who just might be on to something, if a review by Chinese doctors is right…

Blueberries & Heart Health, The Little Blue “Pills” That Could!:
Many of the improvements people try to make are to modify things they already do.
But as advanced as we are in the western world, we seem to make lots of mistakes with Diet.
And so the crazy health-hackers out there like us sometimes look for the opposite-extreme: Superfoods, like we found out before with nuts.
Well, we can add another amazing benefit to one of the traditional superfoods we’ve heard about for awhile, because if East Anglia’s work about Blueberries is right, they could be a lifesaver…

Sense Of Purpose & Living Longer. “Why?” Is A Very Important Question:
When most people think about health, the thoughts that come to mind are usually, “Eat Right & Exercise”.
And if they think about brain/mental health, the ideas that come up are: Anxiety and Anti-Depressants.
There’s nothing wrong with that, because those are the big-ticket items in magazines.
But the Yoga & Meditation crowd have subconsciously-circled a much deeper issue.
And scientists from the University of Michigan are finding research-backed evidence that getting the important stuff about your mind right eventually helps your body…
