Black Licorice Spooky And Dangerous Side

Black licorice may look and taste like an innocent treat, but this candy has a dark side. On Sept. 23, 2020, it was reported that black licorice was the culprit in the death of a 54-year-old man in Massachusetts. How could this be? Overdosing on licorice sounds more like a twisted tale than a plausible fact. I have a longstanding interest in how chemicals in our food and the environment affect our body and mind. When something seemingly harmless like licorice is implicated in a death, we are reminded of the famous proclamation by Swiss physician Paracelsus, the Father of Toxicology: “All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison.” I am a professor in the department of pharmacology and toxicology and author of the book “Pleased...

What Happens If Our Brain Needs Sleep, And We Don’t Get Enough?

Many of us have experienced the effects of sleep deprivation: feeling tired and cranky, or finding it hard to concentrate. Sleep is more important for our brains than you may realize. Although it may appear you’re “switching off” when you fall asleep, the brain is far from inactive. What we know from studying patterns of brain electrical activity is that while you sleep, your brain cycles through two main types of patterns: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and slow-wave sleep. Slow-wave sleep, which occurs more at the beginning of the night, is characterized by slow rhythms of electrical activity across large numbers of brain cells (occurring one to four times per second). As the night progresses, we have more and more REM sleep. During REM sleep we often have vivid dreams, and our brains ...

Building Lasting Wellness Habits That Fit Your Life And Goals

Busy parents juggling work and wellness, shift workers on uneven schedules, and caregivers managing everyone else’s needs often set thoughtful wellness and self-care goals, then watch them fade. The real consistency challenges usually aren’t motivation; they’re packed calendars, stress that derails mental health maintenance, and all-or-nothing thinking that turns one missed day into quitting. Even general readers interested in wellness can struggle to protect physical well-being routines when life stays loud and unpredictable. A steadier approach makes long-term habit formation feel doable, even when circumstances aren’t ideal. Build a Sustainable Wellness Plan That Fits Your Life This process helps you pick wellness goals you can actually keep, turn them into realistic weekly target...

Lifestyle Options

It seems like now more than ever there are hundreds of different lifestyle choices a person can make. It is a good thing there are so many options because a person's lifestyle choice has a direct bearing on the things they do, the people they hang out with, the clothes they wear, and the things they consume. Lifestyle choices also happen to be incredibly diverse in that they can range from choosing to be healthy to choosing to pledge allegiance to a certain type of music, to even deciding on a lifestyle devoted to religion. With so many lifestyle choices, it is no surprise that people devote themselves to actual lifestyles on various degrees. For instance, a teenager might become infatuated with punk rock and decide to devote themselves to that style. At this stage they can choose ...

Solutions To Overcome FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)

FOMO contributes to a person’s dissatisfaction with their own social lives FOMO is a pervasive modern anxiety perpetuated by social media. Noah Webster, in his first “American Dictionary of the English Language” published in 1828, had no reason to include the word. Yet in 2003, MySpace launched and was followed by Facebook in 2004. Thousands of people began sharing posts of daily life. Before 2004 closed, FOMO was a real word defined in the dictionary that still bears Webster’s name as “fear of not being included in something (such as an interesting or enjoyable activity) that others are experiencing.” In an April 2018 report, businessinsider.com expounded ”...
