Do tongue scrapers actually help with bad breath?
14 giu 20245 minAccording to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, our mouths host no fewer than 700 species of microbes, including “germs like bacteria, fungus and more”. Some are helpful in producing vitamins, or aiding in digestion, for example, but others can cause problems like bad breath. Because many of these microbes live on the tongue, recent years have seen increased use of oral hygiene devices specifically designed to clean the top of the tongue. One kind is a tongue scraper. Now in case you’ve never seen a tongue scraper before, it’s kind of like a toothbrush but with a U-shaped head. What role does saliva play in oral hygiene? How regularly should I be cleaning my tongue then, if it all? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Do our brains really tell the whole story about us?
13 giu 20244 minYou know how sometimes you might indulge in a bit too much junk food, or maybe the kids aren’t acing their tests, or perhaps you’re navigating the single life? Hold up—before you start to worry, there’s a seemingly scientific explanation for all of it, and it points to one place: our brains. Neuroscience has become the go-to for decoding life’s issues, spanning medicine, economics, politics, and education. But hold your horses—some experts are raising the red flag on “neuromania,” the tendency to oversimplify our behaviors down to just brain activity. In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How can heatwaves impact our mental health?
13 giu 20245 minWe’re all aware of the physical risks associated with extreme heat, like dehydration and fainting for example. But a number of scientific studies have shown that heatwaves also have a major impact on people’s mental health. It’s important to highlight that the difference can be experienced by anyone, not just those with existing psychiatric conditions. But one thing is for sure: the vast majority of us are more anxious when temperatures are high. And it makes sense that we get more irritable when you consider how our bodies work. Heat causes our heart rate, pulse, blood pressure and cortisol levels to all increase. Meanwhile, it deregulates so-called happy hormones serotonin and dopamine. Who is most affected? What do researchers have to say about it? What about eco-anxiety? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Is end-to-end encryption really secure?
12 giu 20245 minIn late April 2024, police chiefs from the UK’s National Crime Agency and 32 European countries issued a statement expressing their concerns about the use of end-to-end encryption by instant messaging services like WhatsApp. The statement recognised that E2E encryption protects users’ personal data, but emphasised that it also prevents authorities from identifying suspicious or illegal activities. And, as we’ll get to in just a moment, encryption doesn’t always guarantee full privacy for users. What does "end-to-end encryption" actually mean in concrete terms? Does that mean all my data is protected when I send a message then? What’s the best way to stay safe and secure then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Can the weather really influence our mood?
12 giu 20245 minWe’re only a few weeks from the official start of summer, but you wouldn’t guess it given the wet conditions that we’ve seen for most of spring 2024. According to BBC News, March, April and May 2024 have all been among the wettest on record for their respective months. So don't put away your umbrella just yet! Beyond the obvious inconvenience of getting caught in a downpour, many people believe that bad weather directly affects their mood and health. And some people are more sensitive than others; these individuals are known as "weather-sensitive." How do you distinguish between weather-sensitive people and the rest of the population? Are you saying that for most people the weather has no impact at all on their mood then? What’s the best way to deal with feeling down in bad weather then?

Does olive oil really make you fat?
11 giu 20244 minOlive oil, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, boasts a rich composition of essential fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with polyphenols. These antioxidants are celebrated for their role in decelerating cellular ageing. Fatty acids, a pivotal component of lipids, include some that our bodies cannot produce, underscoring the necessity of sourcing them from our diets. Predominantly composed of omega-9, olive oil’s monounsaturated fatty acids are linked to a diminished risk of cardiovascular ailments. They are also known to lower LDL-cholesterol—the infamous ‘bad’ cholesterol—as well as the overall cholesterol levels in our bloodstream. Additionally, olive oil serves as a natural appetite suppressant, fostering a sense of fullness and aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels. Does all this mean that olive oil is calorie-free? How do I choose the right oil? And how do you store olive oil properly? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Could gamophobia be hurting your relationship?
10 giu 20245 minCommitting to a romantic relationship is by its very nature a significant transition in a person’s life. And that can often be a source of stress or conflict between two partners. For example one partner might want to move in together, get married, or have a child, while the other simply won’t entertain the thought. For some people, fear of commitment is just a way to delay decisions. But for others, it’s a genuine, panic-inducing fear that’s known as gamophobia. Where does gamophobia come from? Could you say that we're all a little gamophobic? How can people in a relationship get over their gamophobia? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What does general anesthesia do to the brain?
8 giu 20245 minResearch published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggested that there are nearly 3 million general anesthesia procedures in the UK each year. You might already be aware that there are various different types of anesthesia: local, which numbs a small area of the body; regional, which numbs a larger part; and general, typically used for major or lengthy surgeries, where the patient is completely asleep. Today we’re going to be talking specifically about general anesthesia. How exactly does it knock patients unconscious then? How does it affect the brain? Isn't it dangerous?

Why should you be happy to see spiders in your home?
7 giu 20245 minWhat's your relationship with spiders like? Some people are pretty terrified of them, and for many their first reaction is to grab something to squash them with. Most likely, encountering spiders at home is a regular occurrence, and they're actually more beneficial than you might think. Aren’t they dangerous though?

How do you build up your brain power?
6 giu 20244 minOur brain, much like our muscles, benefits from its own form of exercise. Through dedicated training and stimulation, we can enhance our cognitive abilities, a testament to the remarkable phenomenon known as ‘neural plasticity’. Neural plasticity is the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and reorganise itself. According to the Foundation for Brain Research, when we encounter a new concept, our brain responds by forging fresh neural connections. With consistent practice, these connections grow stronger and more efficient, leading to improved performance. What is Neural Plasticity? Can Intelligence Be Enhanced?

Which flights are most likely to be hit by turbulence?
5 giu 20245 minIf you’re a nervous flyer thinking ahead to your next flight, you may have wondered whether it's possible to predict whether you'll encounter any turbulence. Air travel has come under the spotlight in recent weeks, with a number of high profile incidents of flights being hit by turbulence, including one which saw a 71 year old British man in his seventies tragically die from a heart attack.

Which clothes help us sleep best?
5 giu 20245 minSlipping into sleepwear is an essential part of most people’s nighttime routine. We often do it when we’re winding down from a busy day, and it means it’s time to relax and get ready for sleep. Whether you sleep in pyjamas, a nightgown, a t-shirt, or nothing at all, the goal is to avoid being too hot or too cold. You need to feel comfortable in loose-fitting clothes that don't constrict your body. That’s because sleepwear that is too tight can restrict blood circulation and cause numbness or tingling. Synthetic materials, wool, and lace can also cause itching and skin irritation. So are you saying there’s no one best option when it comes to bedwear then? What about sleeping naked? What about socks? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Why do we startle when we fall asleep? How long do people have sex for?

Why do we startle when we fall asleep?
4 giu 20244 minYou're peacefully drifting off to sleep when suddenly you feel as if you're falling into a void and you startle awake. This rather unpleasant sensation is known as a ‘hypnic jerk’ and is a common occurrence. It is an involuntary muscle spasm, a bit like a hiccup, also known as ‘myoclonus’. Sometimes, this sensation is accompanied by the feeling or the dream that you are falling. These twitches are your body’s bedtime quirks, popping up in the twilight zone of sleep – that light stage between being awake and snoozing soundly in deep sleep. They’re like an accidental alarm that can, annoyingly, snap us back to reality. As we drift off, our muscles take a breather, but our brain does a quick systems check to ensure everything’s alright, triggering that startling reflex. What’s happening when we experience these sudden spasms? Can anything amplify this startling sensation? Should we be worried about these nighttime jolts? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How long do people have sex for?
3 giu 20244 minPopular fantasy might suggest that we need to have hours of sex in order to be satisfied, but is that actually true? A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2005 looked into intravaginal ejaculation latency time among 500 heterosexual couples from five different countries. Now intravaginal ejaculation latency time might sound like a complicated term, but basically it just means how long penetration lasts, so foreplay doesn’t count as sex under that definition. Having gathered survey answers from all the couples involved, the researchers noted that sex duration varied significantly, lasting as little as 33 seconds in some cases or as long as 44 minutes. But they were able to work out that the average duration was 5.4 minutes. A lot less than some people might think! Is 5.4 minutes really long enough to have satisfying sex though? How long does foreplay last then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Can you train your brain like a muscle?

What are the secrets of a successful LAT couple?
1 giu 20245 minThe idea might seem inconceivable to some, but these days more and more people are choosing to be in LAT relationships. The LAT part of the term stands for Living Alone Together, which means that LAT couples are in a committed romantic relationship, but each person maintains their own private life and space. Back in 2011, a research team began a multi-method study looking into how prominent LAT couples were in the UK. They went on to publish their findings in a research briefing in 2013, showing that 9% of adults in the UK are in a LAT couple. Just how common is that? What’s the appeal of a LAT arrangement? Are you saying people in LAT couples will automatically argue less? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Can you train your brain like a muscle?
31 mag 20244 minThe human brain isn’t actually a muscle, as a lot of people think. But nevertheless we still need to give it exercise to keep it healthy. While you can go to the gym to work out the muscles in your body, the equivalent for the brain is training and stimulating something called "brain plasticity”. Verywellmind.com says that plasticity “refers to the brain's malleability or ability to change”. And it’s definitely worth working to improve it too, as it can give cognitive performance a real boost. Are you saying improving brain plasticity makes you smarter? What kind of exercises can I do to improve those then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: How often should you wash your jeans?

How often should you wash your jeans?
30 mag 20243 minIt’s a common habit to toss our jeans into the laundry after a single wear, but is that really necessary? Turns out, giving your denim a break from frequent washes might be a smarter move. Well, according to Medisite, washing isn’t always kind to your beloved blues. The key to maintaining your denim’s durability is a cooler, gentler approach: wash them inside out, at a low temperature, and with a soft spin cycle. As for drying, skip the tumble dryer to prevent shrinking and warping—air drying on a rack, upside down, is the way to go. And ironing? Best to avoid it to keep those fibres intact. Does this mean you should never wash your jeans? But really, how practical is this advice? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is the carnivore diet?
29 mag 20245 minWe’ve all heard about the importance of getting a balanced diet, but some people choose to ignore that advice completely, and those following the carnivore diet are a prime example. As you may have guessed from its name, the carnivore diet involves eating almost exclusively meat, sometimes raw, sometimes cooked, and might also include fish. Healthline.com says that “other animal foods like eggs and certain dairy products” are sometimes also eaten. Are there any benefits? How did such a sketchy diet become popular?

Why are more and more men joining the no fap movement?
29 mag 20245 minNow if you’ve never heard the word fap before, let me spell it out to you. It’s basically an onomatopoeic slang term for male masturbation. According to Business Insider, the term first appeared in a web comic called Sexy Losers in 1999, to indicate the sound of a male character masturbating. An Urban Dictionary definition for the term was then added in 2002, and usage grew from the 2000s onwards. So obviously now you know what that means, you’ll have realised that the no fap movement means quitting masturbation. And while masturbation is a pleasurable activity for many, the no fap movement against it has been gaining traction for about a decade now. It started out in the U.S. and the aim is to combat porn addiction and masturbation. Why do all these men want to stop masturbating? Are any of those claims true? What should someone do if they feel addicted to masturbation then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Can you eat eggs everyday?

Can you eat eggs everyday?
28 mag 20244 minWhether they’re soft-boiled, fried, poached, or whipped into cakes and pies, eggs are a kitchen favorite for good reason. In the UK the average person consumes about 175 eggs per year, that’s about 3 eggs weekly. They are packed with vitamins D, E, A, and B12, plus minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium, making eggs a healthy choice. They’re also brimming with essential fatty acids—omega 3, 6, and 9—to support brain function and the immune system. But that’s not all: eggs are protein-rich, rivaling meat and fish. In fact two eggs equate to a modest 100-gram steak, and our bodies love these proteins, especially the 8 essential amino acids they provide. Why are eggs good for you? But what about cholesterol? Do eggs contribute to weight gain? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: How is micro-feminism helping women combat workplace sexism?

Which type of wine is best for your health?
27 mag 20245 minWhen it comes to health, many people wonder which type of wine can most easily be enjoyed without needing to worry about negative health consequences. First things first, I hate to be a party pooper but let’s be clear: there’s no kind of alcohol that is actually “good” for your health. So red wine does contain some antioxidants, which have reported health benefits. But senior dietitian and British Heart Foundation spokesperson Victoria Taylor says that “while it is often included in the traditional diet, it isn’t an essential part and should be drunk in moderation.” So are dry reds the healthiest option then?

How does viagra work?
25 mag 20245 minEver since it hit the market, the little blue pill known as viagra has transformed the sex lives of millions of couples around the world. Viagra was developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, and was first made available to the American public soon after FDA approval in March 1998. Within just two weeks, 15,000 prescriptions had been written in the United States. An article published in the Pharmaceutical Journal in 2017 stated that at that time it had “been prescribed for more than 64 million men worldwide”, while a report by The Guardian from the same year said that the stigma around erectile dysfunction had faded, citing NHS figures which showed that viagra prescriptions had nearly tripled over the preceding decade.

Aquamation : what are the advantages of being buried in water?
25 mag 20244 minUntil recently when confronted with arranging a funeral there has been a choice between burial or cremation. However, in parts of the US, Canada and soon the UK a third choice can be possible. Aquamation or as it is known technically “alkaline hydrolysis” is an alternative to traditional burials. The body of the deceased is placed in a pressurised stainless steel vessel and immersed in a mixture of water and alkali for three to four hours and heated to around 150C. During the process all the material is broken down leaving only the inorganic bone minerals which are then processed into powder and returned to the family in an urn. What is aquamation?

How is micro-feminism helping women combat workplace sexism?
24 mag 20245 minTo all our female listeners: have you ever been a victim of misogyny in the workplace? Sadly, the chances are you have, given that a 2022 survey by recruitment agency Randstad found that 72% of women have “encountered inappropriate behaviour from male colleagues”, while 67% had experienced some form of gender discrimination. But there are some simple everyday actions that can help us to counter sexism at work, and social media has recently been rife with discussion of these so-called micro-feminist acts. So the trend really began taking off when American producer and host Ashley Chaney posted a clip on Tiktok in late March 2024, talking about a couple of her own favourite examples of microfeminism. What kind of actions are we talking about? How did microfeminism come to be so popular on TikTok? What’s the point of microfeminism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Is a white tongue unhealthy?
23 mag 20244 minA white coating on the tongue can occur when your health is compromised, like during a cold or fever. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol, and too much sugar, coffee, tea, or dairy can also contribute to this by disrupting the balance of your oral microbiota or affecting saliva production. In most cases, it’s an accumulation of bacteria and dead cells, a condition known as saburral tongue or white patches. This coating can often be removed by gently using a tongue scraper. However, other factors can lead to a thicker coating, localized patches, or even a metallic taste in the mouth. What exactly causes the tongue to turn white? Could this be a sign of infection?

Can plate colour really affect our sense of taste?
22 mag 20245 minSurely nothing affects taste other than what you actually put in your mouth, right?! Well actually no, that’s not true - at least according to a study published in December 2022 in Food Quality and Preference. The researchers behind that found that the colour of our dishware might influence our perception of taste. And it’s not the first study of its kind; I’m going to tell you about other similar ones in just a moment. Well, the Food Quality and Preference study was conducted by researchers at the University of Portsmouth . They gathered 47 students to participate, splitting them into two groups: picky and non-picky eaters. That’s crazy! How did these studies work then?

What are the risks of anal sex?
22 mag 20245 minAnal sex has become more and more popular in recent years, and that’s true for young people in particular. In August 2022, The Guardian reported on a survey conducted by National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyle, which found that 28.5% of 16 to 24-year-olds were engaging in anal sex, up from a previous figure of just 12.5% from “recent decades”. Anal sex doesn’t come without its risks though. For one thing, doing it unprotected carries significantly higher risks of sexually transmitted infection, including HIV. According to the NHS, that’s because “the lining of the anus is thin and can easily be damaged”. What kind of other issues are we talking about? Why are more people having anal sex than before?

How can you manage your anger better?
21 mag 20244 minLet’s face it, life throws curveballs at us—being stuck in traffic, a demanding boss, or even chores piling up at home. Anger is a natural response, but unchecked, it can wreak havoc on our personal and professional lives. Slow down and above all breathe! Breathing is crucial for getting rid of anger. By fully oxygenating the brain, it switches from a fight or flight reaction to immediate relaxation. As LeKisha Edwards Alesii, a chartered psychologist and owner of the Durham Health and Emotional Wellbeing Centre in the United States, explains in the pages of the Huffington Post: What can you do to calm down when you feel anger bubbling up?

Why are famous women being targeted by transvestigations?
20 mag 20245 minWhat do Serena Williams, Beyoncé, Henry Cavill, Ryan Gosling and Nicole Kidman all have in common? Well apart from being famous, they’ve all been the targets of transvestigations in recent times. As you may have guessed, the term is a combination of "transgender" and "investigation." It’s actually a bizarre type of conspiracy theory which sees web users attempt to prove that certain famous people are secretly transgender. Who is being targeted the most?

Could the one-week method help you stop drinking?
18 mag 20245 minSome psychological and addiction experts say that making and sticking to resolutions can do wonders for your health. And just because it’s not the New Year right now, that doesn’t mean you can’t start a resolution right away. After all, there’s no time like the present, right? Let's face it though, sticking to a resolution can be tough, especially when it comes to giving up something you’re used to doing, eating or drinking on a regular basis. Like alcohol for example. If you’re looking to cut back on alcohol but can’t see yourself managing to go without, we’ve got an approach from Tiktok to tell you about today, which may just help you in your quest: it’s called the one-week method.
