The 3rd School Of Meditation We All Needed:

From ancient shamans and their wild claims, all the way to present-day experts like Eckhart Tolle.

And all the while, the discipline has preached a serene, near-wordless detachment in its suggested-state.

It hasn’t been until now that a more purpose-built school for the trials of modern life has taken Meditation into the realm of something practical & liberating.

Jason Headley’s “F*ck That” school of thought…

Video: ASAPScience On The Surprising Discoveries In The Hunt To Cure Depression


Is There a Biological Cause For Depression?:
With about 350 million people affected worldwide, or about 5% of the world’s population, Depression is a pretty widespread problem.

-Especially given its increased-concentration in 1st world countries (~7%).

Only Anxiety occurs in larger numbers (~18%).

But, what exactly going on inside people with these disorders?

Is it just cognitive-distortions & chemistry, or is there an actual Biological basis for it?

No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. -Or Dessert:
In the war on Fat, science has spent decades on an antidote to one main offender.

-Sugar.

Because it’s not fat that makes you fat, it’s all the stuff that ruins your blood-sugar & insulin.

And one thing all phony-sugars had in-common, is that they were a bit iffy on what exactly their compounds did once inside your body.

Now we can add a possible link to stroke & dementia to their resume, but previous research may explain why…

Back To The Future!: Old Drug Provides New Benefits In Fight Against Alzheimer’s

Retro Approach To New Info Pays Off:
In the field of research, The New rules the roost. What’s old is considered obsolete.

And nowhere is this more obvious than the search for cures to diseases.

Both The How & The Why seem so complex, the Solution must be something supercomputer-complex, & supercomputer-new, also.

Well, in a strange turn of events, an English team took the recent trend of Inflammation being implicated in many diseases, including Alzheimer’s,

And ran with it, back to a 2,000+ year-old fix that looks like the start of a new cure…

Legacy Of Alcohol, The Ham-Fist Way:
Over time, we’ve tried to sing the praises of alcohol; from Beer BS to Hangover bro-science.

Along the way, we’ve discovered some strange contradictions, like: Thirst is often mistaken for Hunger, & Mars500 finding a great reason to control your salt-intake.

So in the spirit of Weird, !SCIENCE! brings us another “WTF, Mother Nature?!!”

Ancient Tradition Vs. Modern Science: How Deep-Breathing Works For Anxiety & Calms You Down

What’s Old Is New Again, Especially If You’re Anxious:
Recently, an interesting mashup of old and new science has happened in the health space.

Modern medicine can’t cure one thing, so people try an old thing.

Science does an investigation, finds one old supplement is snake-oil and another isn’t.

But for thousands of years, health-nuts from far-eastern yogis right down to your Mom have often advised one thing for Anxiety: Take A Deep Breath.

And science may have just figured-out why…
