The best you yet

We asked, you answered

Pulse • MORE JOY, LESS STRESS – FOR A HEALTHIER, HAPPIER YOU

Resolute about resolutions

Health • THE BEST BREAKTHROUGH SCIENCE, MADE SIMPLE

WARNING LIGHT • Adding to a growing body of research showing that exposure to bright light at night can increase the risk of health issues including obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, recent studies have linked it to two new conditions. Flinders University researchers found that people who were exposed to light between 12.30am and 6am were significantly more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who spent the night in darker conditions. Another study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience found that excess nighttime light could increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Time to go to the dark side!

What’s up with… random whiskers • Chin, lip, cheek – a single wiry hair (or more) can grow in the most inconvenient spot. Let’s smooth out the problem.

5 myths about home remedies • There’s nothing wrong with DIY healthcare, but maybe a little science could help? Here are a few folk cures that haven’t cured many folks.

Fighting fibroids • GP Dr Sarah Brewer explains the best way of dealing with this common gynaecological condition.

Fitness • FEELING STRONGER, FITTER AND FIRMER AFTER 40 STARTS HERE

HUNGER HIIT • Adding to the long list of benefits of vigorous exercise, a US study found it reduces hunger – especially in women. When researchers compared levels of the ‘hunger hormone’ ghrelin in participants who had just completed a moderate or vigorous workout, the high-intensity group had lower levels of the DAG form of ghrelin and reported feeling less hungry. Female participants in the vigorous group also had lower levels of AG ghrelin, leading the researchers to conclude that the appetite-suppressing effects of high-intensity exercise were more pronounced in women. Time to swap that sweet treat for star jumps!

Stretch and reset • Need a refresh? This reclining butterfly yoga pose relaxes your body to relieve stress and also gives your hips a nice stretch to help increase mobility and lessen back pain.

Saving your OWN NECK • Got tech neck? Find out how functional fitness can ease desk-bound conditions such as neck pain and fatigue.

Fun fitness • Recapture the energy and “Woot!” of your youth by breaking a sweat and getting fit with these any-weather activities.

Nutrition • BETTER HEALTH, MORE ENERGY AND USEFUL, EXPERT-APPROVED ADVICE ON A PLATE

Gut feelings • If you reach for comfort food when you’re blue, you’re not alone. A CSIRO survey of nearly 2000 Australians found that 55 per cent ate more when feeling depressed and 76 per cent chowed down when they were bored. Women were more likely than men to lift their mood with food, and almost all participants agreed they were tempted by processed foods during emotional moments. Chocolate was rated the most tempting snack (72 per cent), followed by cheese (61 per cent) and bread rolls (52 per cent). The solution? Keep snacks such as vegetable sticks and hummus on hand to help you make a healthier choice.

Summer stars • Enjoy these in-season picks while they’re at their height of nutrition and flavour.

SWEET nothings • Looking to cut...
