I ran across some neat discoveries in this article…just wanted to share!
Energy Drinks: motivate you by activating reward centers in your brain, but only ones with sugar over artificial sweeteners.
Longevity: A study showed that people who livepast normal life spans are more outgoing and active and less neurotic than other people. For women, those who are empathetic and more cooperative lived longest.
Migraines: An operation removing some of the muscles surrounding the trigeminal nerve branches (a similar procedure to a forehead lift) stopped migraines for more than half of 49 studied. Out of a control group of 26 who recieved a similar operation not targeting the trigeminals, only 1 person reported cessation of the migraines.
Pain: Shouting curse words rather than neutral words helped people tolerate and withstand pain longer.
Quercetin: A flavenoid found in fruits and teas, quercetin boosted stamina and increased mitochondria in mice. However, human studies have not shown any performance boost from the supplement.
Smiling: A psychologist found that Gold Medalist Judo athletes were more likely to have genuine smiles (engaging eye muscles), while Silver Medalists who had stiffer, social smiles. This was also true for blind Judo athletes, who would have innate roots for smiling.
Weight-lifting: Women with stable lymphedema as a result of breast cancer reduced lymphedema flare-ups with biweekly, 90-min weightlifting sessions compared with a control group who did not lift weights. These results contradict typical restrictions for women with lymphedema, who are told to limit the amount they lift to 10 to 15 lbs.
Yoga: When added to treatments for teenage girls with eating disorders, yoga helped reduce obsessive weight concern and food preoccupation.
