Fade Fave: Respiratory health effects of ultrafine and fine particle exposure in cyclists Fade Skinny: Study to investigate the acute respiratory health effects of air pollution related to commuting by bicycle. Finds substantial differences in ultrafine particle number and soot exposure between two urban cycling routes. Exposure to ultrafine particles and soot during cycling was weakly associated with increased exhaled NO, indicative of airway inflammation, and decrements in lung function 6 hours after exposure. A limitation of the study was the relatively small sample size. (NHS Athens is required to access this article ...

Research says that witnessing simple acts of everyday kindness, such as one person giving up a seat on the bus, holding a door open for another, or helping someone pick something that dropped to the floor can promote altruism.

In essence, kindness is contagious.One Million Acts of Kindness Week is February 8th to the 14th. So, go start a ripple effect and be kind.

How to Build a Stronger EgoEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There’s a notion that’s been spread around the spiritual side of the self-help field that suggests one of our primary aims in life should be ego-less enlightenment, a state where we achieve near-perfect inner peace, where we’re one with everything but attached to nothing, and where nothing in the physical world can knock us off balance. This creates some personal challenges for me because whenever I write about anything remotely spiritual in nature (and sometimes even when I don’t), some readers assume I’m one of the guys promoting this same sort of ideal. Then they question why my behavior do...
