Biomechanics research comparing walking–and running shows that joint angles, loading rates, and muscle forces differ significantly between the two gaits. Walking, even at an incline, keeps at least one foot in contact with the belt at all times, which reduces peak forces and usually produces fewer overuse injuries when training volume increases. Running, by contrast,…

Houseplants are great visual enhancers, purify the air and generate a relaxing atmosphere inside, but they don’t all have the same requirements; in fact, they do not all thrive under bright direct sun. As a matter of fact, a great number of indoor plants grow naturally under forest canopies where they receive filtered or indirect…
Maternal genetics extend far beyond mere aesthetics like eye color; they deeply influence our vitality, cognitive abilities, and resilience under pressure. The mitochondria, inherited from our mothers, energize our cells and contribute to how our brains age over time. The X chromosome is a treasure trove of critical traits for our brain and nerve functions….
When we overthink, it’s often our instinct to shield ourselves from harm, but this habit can be exhausting. The unpredictability around us fuels this cycle, elevating stress levels and activating our brain’s threat response. It limits our perspective and hinders effective problem-solving. Overthinking rarely begins as a problem. It often starts as care and responsibility….
An engaging digital puzzle that has captured the attention of many is the square-counting challenge, where players are tasked with pinpointing squares amidst a chaotic and convoluted image. Brain teasers are puzzles or questions that push the brain to think in unusual ways. They are not only about finding the right answer. They are about…
For some, nutritious foods can lead to unwanted bloating and tiredness instead of boosting energy levels. This often relates to our eating habits – high-fiber foods, specific carbs, raw ingredients, and too much healthy fat can hinder digestion. Additionally, stress and meal timing greatly impact how our bodies react. Eating clean feels like the safest…
Potatoes are rich in starch. During digestion, starch breaks down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream. This process is measured using the glycaemic index, or GI. Foods with a high GI raise blood sugar quickly, while low-GI foods raise it more slowly, as per Medlineplus. Potatoes naturally sit in the medium-to-high GI range, but cooking…
