From Extreme Thinness To Obesity: Physical Body And Psychological Health
I once overheard a conversation between two young girls discussing how much they had eaten during the day and that they needed to work out those calories. They looked skinny and thought they had to lose some more weight. They counted everything they ate and were on a strict diet not to gain any weight. I remembered myself when I was a teenager and was obsessed with my weight, and never was satisfied with the way I looked back then. Growing older, I asked myself: Is it really me who wasn't satisfied with the way I looked? And I had to answer that question negatively. It wasn't exactly me, but rather the external ideas of th...

Better Food for More People: Information is Key
In Denmark, as well as in many other countries, an increasing number of people are moving from the countryside to the big cities. And in the years to come, we expect our population will continue to grow dramatically and be more concentrated in urban areas. This trend presents unique challenges to our traditional way of living, our family structures and our food supply. It also has a major impact on what, where, and with whom we eat.
In both Denmark and the U.S.--as in so many other nations--eating out has evolved from a special occasion to an everyday activity. Our food environment extends well beyond our home kitchens i...

How To Hack Your Brain To Destroy Procrastination, According To Harvard Research
How to beat the "Tomorrow Syndrome" that almost everyone faces.
People procrastinate for many reasons, but the result is always the same: they rush to get the task done at the last minute or miss the deadline. Even though it feels frustrating to procrastinate, people still continue this bad habit. Why?
According to Caroline Webb in the Harvard Business Review, our brains are programmed to put off tasks. Webb shows research from UCLA proving that the allure of near-term gain almost always outweighs the attraction of future reward. Given the choice between concrete and more abstract ideas, our brain naturally sides with mo...

The Lesson My Scars Taught Me
When I was about 18 months old, I was burned quite badly. These were scalding hot water burns. This was an unfortunate household accident that could have happened to anyone ― and as a parent myself now, I can only imagine how difficult this must have been for my parents at the time.
This took place in the 1970s, so technology wasn’t what it is today. I did get skin grafts, but it was still pretty bad. Most of the damage was on my chest and skin was grafted from my upper thigh to my chest leaving another large scar on my leg.
As I grew up, I struggled with my scars. They seemed so big, ugly, and disfiguring. Kids wo...

How To Find Your Calling (From 5 People Who Found Theirs)
Why does our culture perpetuate the belief that “finding oneself” is an age-specific phase, reserved only for angst-ridden teenagers and wanderlust-stricken 20-somethings? The notion of finding a passion is all-too-frequently aligned with youth and impulsivity, but truthfully, we’re all quietly seeking our next challenge, our next calling.
We’re of the belief that it’s never too late to course correct your life, and given the job-hopping numbers, we’re probably not the only ones. Though the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not regularly track career changes, in a recent study of late...

Voodoo Medicine: Time To Stop
The world's most celebrated athlete standing on the podium in Rio in honor of receiving yet another gold medal has something important in common with your lazy uncle throwing back a cold one in his Barcalounger. Yes, swimming powerhouse Michael Phelps, purple-spotted from cupping therapy, and your slovenly relative with a beer gut both share a bond -- a weakness in succumbing to the allure of voodoo medicine. Modern-day snake oil salesmen hawking quick cures and TV doctors peddling the latest diet miracle with blatantly ridiculous claims are everywhere on the tube, social media, the supermarket and old-fashioned billboards...

Reading Books Could Increase Lifespan
It seems American musician Frank Zappa was wrong when he said "so many books, so little time."
According to a new study, reading books could extend lifespan by up to 2 years, and the more often you read, the better.
Study co-author Becca R. Levy, a professor of epidemiology at Yale University School of Public Health, and colleagues publish their findings in the journal Social Science & Medicine.
Despite growing popularity of the Kindle and other e-readers, sales of printed books are on the rise. Last year, there were 571 million units sold in the United States, compared with 559 million in 2014.
But reading books is no...

10 Tips For Staying Positive In The Midst Of Negative News Cycles
"Be the change you want to see in the world." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
I'm a believer in the adage that knowledge is power and that it's important to be aware of what's happening with our global neighbors. We're all connected, more so now than ever before because technology has given us immediate access to late-breaking news. World issues, such as war, famine, water shortages, and human rights issues, won't get any better for anyone if we don't work together toward solutions. Having compassion and being part of the solution requires acquiring accurate information about what's actually occurring both locally and globally. Because ...

Imagine never again savoring the smell of baking cakes or charbroiled steak.
Could you? Why would you?
