Owning a pet is linked to a brain that looks up to 15 years younger. A University of Alabama study scanned 95 adults and found that pet owners had better memory, faster thinking, and bigger brain structures, especially dog owners. Fifty-six pet owners and 39 people without pets,

Part 5. Dogs produce more tears when reunited with their owner. Reunite them with a person they know well who is not their owner, and the amount of tears does not move. Takefumi Kikusui's group at Azabu University used the Schirmer test. That is a strip of paper tucked under the 3.5K views · 34 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Part 4. When a dog holds its owner's gaze, oxytocin rises in the owner's urine. Oxytocin is the hormone of bonding and trust, and urine is where the researchers happened to measure it. The owner then touches and talks to the dog more, and the dog's own oxytocin rises in turn. Run 3.8K views · 31 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Part 3. Show a dog an angry human face while playing an angry human voice, and the dog stares longer than if the face and the voice disagree. Until this study, that ability had been shown only in humans. Natalia Albuquerque and colleagues at the University of Lincoln used a 3.7K views · 28 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Part 2. Dogs identified human stress by smell alone, at accuracies between 90 and 96.88 percent. The sample was breath and sweat, taken twenty minutes after a hard mental arithmetic task.

Curious about how your dog affects your health and well-being (and vice versa)? I explore the science behind our bond with pets in my book What Pets Do to Us: 40 Years of Research on Animals and Human Health https://t.co/PnHglqGu5E 11.4K views · 95 likes · 13 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Your dog carries your stress in its body for months. A 2019 study in Scientific Reports measured cortisol in the hair of 58 dogs and their owners over a full year and found that the two rose and fell together. When you are stressed, your dog is stressed. When you calm down, so ht

@anishmoonka SUP ( Stand Up Paddling ) will improve balance. And strengthen whole body in the process. Try 1)split squats in gym for strength and 2) hold a full squat for at least a few minutes as one part of lower body flexibility. 124 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Balance is the first physical ability to collapse in midlife, and almost nobody trains for it. A 2022 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who cannot stand on one leg for ten seconds after age 50 have an 84 percent higher risk of dying in the next htt

@anishmoonka True for the NPCs, who are in the majority. Not true for true lovers of music. From them it's a lifetime of discovery and looking for the next great tune. 521 views · 33 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@anishmoonka If you keep studying and learning this isn't true, but most people don't really care about music, so they probably relate most to the stuff they heard when "forced" to take an interest in it due to school peer pressure, parties, etc 669 views · 18 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@anishmoonka lol, horseshit. Most of my favorite music I discovered in my 20s, 30s, and 40s. Still have faves from teenage years, but not the majority by any means. 612 views · 26 likes · 2 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

The music you loved between the ages of 13 and 18 will stay with you for the rest of your life, and no music you hear after that will ever hit the same way. A 2017 study in Frontiers in Psychology mapped the listening patterns of every generation and found that preferences formed

@anishmoonka That's because the year of the original study enabled people making $75,000 to have good lives. Things have changed, and most people making $75k are struggling to afford basic costs of living, thus we should expect this amount to change. 388 views · 17 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@anishmoonka I had a business associate who was worth about $20M (or maybe more).

Money does buy happiness, and the old claim that it stops mattering after 75,000 dollars a year was wrong. A 2023 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences settled a decade-long argument between two researchers and found that happiness keeps rising with income,

Your brain produces somewhere around 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day. According to a figure widely cited from the National Science Foundation, up to 80 percent of them are negative, and up to 95 percent are the same ones you had yesterday. That means the voice in your head is ht
