Stress & Aging. How Too Much Accelerates Your Body-Clock:
The Fountain Of Youth is an old but seductive myth.

In fact, the idea is one of the main focuses of this site; because finding it is the journey we’re all really on.

How do we fix our problems and live for as long as possible, through improved and advanced science?

Because Aging is The King of all health problems.

And as-such, will probably be the last one to get solved, if at-all.

And to that end, researchers in Poland & UNSW just found a big piece of the puzzle…

Smartphone Games Vs. Stress: Can They Beat Meditation For Happiness & Relaxation, Or Not?

Smartphone Games Vs. Stress: A Better Decompress Than Mindfulness?:
So we’ve talked about Stress before, and it’s a killer. Worse than sitting.

And so part of the normal hygiene you’d go through for your life is to find a way to clear that out. A popular choice is Cardiovascular Exercise.

But one of the best approaches a person can take is… more than one approach.

Attack a problem from several angles. You aren’t a one-dimensional person, so why act that way?

And for Stress, the reduction procedure most-associated with side-benefits is Meditation. Except there’s a problem…

Red Wine Compounds Affect On Depression: In Vino Veritas?:
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.

And if a Buffalo team is correct, the old spectre may just get an even older solution…

Stress Relief & Pets, Even A Short Time With A Dog Or Cat Is Healthy:
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 one of the most-overlooked and also most-effective avenues of stress-reduction could actually be laying across your keyboard or dropping a tennis ball at your feet…

One Quest Meets Another:
Over time, mankind has set itself many challenges to find purpose & meaning in life.

And one of those big goals is counterintuitive. One that doesn’t necessarily involve outward achievements.

-But Inward ones. All of which lead to it: Happiness.

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?

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…

Out Of Time:
We’ve written here before about the possible differences between early-birds and night-owls, and more recently on the perils of trying to wake up.

Well, among those surfaced a trend. Something between the outside world and people’s sleep-patterns seemed misaligned.
