Can naps keep the brain healthy?

According to a study published in the journal Sleep Health in June of 2023, people who have a genetic predisposition to napping regularly have larger brain volumes than those who don’t.

But before you rush to your bed or couch, there are some caveats to consider. What did the study find? How does napping protect against brain shrinkage? What are the optimal conditions for a nap?

What is online grooming?
31 jul 2023 5 minThe UK’s Online Safety Bill has been in the pipeline for a number of years now, and is currently being considered by the House of Lords. The proposed bill has caused a lot of controversy due to its broad ambitions and a perceived threat to people’s privacy. But it’s been welcomed in some quarters, and in particular by children’s charities like the NSPCC, who say that it’s needed to tackle grooming and child sexual abuse online. Indeed the NSPCC says such measures are long overdue and that over 3,500 online sex crimes are likely happening each month that the bill is delayed. How does online grooming happen, and who are the typical targets ? Does this only happen online? How can you identify a child victim ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What does eating junk food do to our brains?
30 jul 2023 5 minWe all know about the physical consequences of having an unbalanced diet, and one that includes a lot of junk food in particular. In the short term eating lots of it can lead a person to put on weight and see their blood pressure increase, while it can also potentially lead to long-term conditions like diabetes or heart disease. But studies are increasingly clear on the fact that junk food can also impair our brain functions, particularly memory. Scientists have not yet fully explained this mechanism, and it appears that it's not the only repercussion on our cognitive abilities. How exactly does junk food impair brain function ? On the contrary, does eating well have beneficial effects on the brain ? What can we do to resist junk food? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is the "no-wash" movement?

They also argue that washing less can save water, energy, money, and time doing chores. However, not everyone is convinced by the benefits of the “no-wash” movement. Some critics question the hygiene, comfort, and social acceptability of wearing unwashed garments or hair. Why is it gaining popularity ? What are the pros and cons of the “no-wash” movement ?

Which conspiracy theories were actually true?
26 jul 2023 5 minThe origins of Covid-19 still remain somewhat hazy, over three-and-a-half years since the virus began spreading across the world. That has led to a number of prominent conspiracy theories, with 25% of people in the UK believing that Covid was definitely or probably a hoax. That finding was part of an April 2023 survey by Savanta for King’s College London and the BBC. It also established that belief in other conspiracy theories is relatively high too, like the idea that the cost of living crisis is a government plot to control the public. Of course, the vast majority of them are false, but there are certain exceptions to the rule. What about the Watergate Scandal ? What about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study ?

What are the biggest misconceptions on beating heatwaves?
19 jul 2023 5 minAccording to a World Meteorological Organisation report from May 2023, it’s now more likely than not that global temperatures will surpass the key milestone of 1.5°C warming.

Is the sugar in fruit actually good for you?
10 jul 2023 4 minJust like vegetables, fruit is essential in a healthy and balanced diet. Ever since the UK government’s campaign in 2003, we’ve all known that we’re supposed to get our “five a day”. And a lot of fruit tends to be pretty sweet, especially when ripe. That’s because fruit contains sugar, and more specifically a large amount of fructose with little glucose. The problem with fructose is that it easily converts into fat in the liver. For the same quantity of fructose and glucose, fructose will produce more fat in the liver. And that can have a significant effect on metabolism. If consumed in large amounts, it could lead to hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver, a phenomenon that is increasingly common with obesity. What is fructose ? Is fructose better than glucose for health ? Should we be avoiding fruit ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How can I save money on my gas bill?
9 jul 2023 5 minAs of 1st July 2023, UK energy regulator Ofgem brought the energy price cap down to £2,074, a significant fall from the previous price guarantee of £2,500 that was introduced by the government in October 2022. Prices had soared mostly due to an increase in wholesale energy costs caused by the war in Ukraine. Bear in mind the price cap is based on an estimate for a dual fuel household paying by direct debit based on typical consumption. It’s not an absolute cap on your energy bill, so if you consume more than the average, you will pay more. Do I need to do anything with my boiler ? What about changing provider ; is that allowed ?

What are "almond moms"?
8 jul 2023 5 minBack in 2013, American reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured a scene that would unexpectedly go viral nearly a decade later. The scene showed a phone conversation between former model Yolanda Hadid and her daughter Gigi.

It might have seemed innocuous at the time, but that moment went viral in 2022, with a number of female Tiktokers complaining about how their mothers were damaging their relationship with food.
