Neuroscientist explains how diet can affect mood, behavior, and more
It's important to pay attention to what we put in our bodies, as getting the appropriate balance of nutrients is crucial to our well-being.Rasulovs/istockphoto. Long-distance sailors in the Age of Discovery (15th to 16th century) sometimes had dreams of delicious, exotic meals and lush, green fields. After spending a significant amount of time at sea, the excruciating realization that these were merely hallucinations came about. Some of the sailors wept out of longing, while others committed suicide by jumping overboard. Lemon juice was shown to be the most effective treatment for these terrifying mirages, rather than the more complicated chemical cocktail that was formerly thought to be the only solution. These sailors were suffering from scurvy, which is a sickness that is brought on by a lack of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient that may be obtained by eating fruits and vegetables. Producing and releasing neurotransmitters, which are the brain's chemical messengers, requires a healthy amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for this process. Without it, the brain cells are unable to communicate with one another in an efficient manner, which might result in hallucinations.
Most cases of monkeypox occur in men who have "sexual relations" with other men
According to the World Health Organization, men who have sex with other men are still, by a significant margin, the people who are most likely to become infected with monkeypox. And because of this, there have been some challenges in communicating to the public about how they can protect themselves and improve public health. There is a risk of further stigmatizing gay and bisexual men in every aspect of the situation, from the name we give to the virus to the advice we give on how to stop its spread. However, experts emphasized that despite the potential for transmission, it is critical to keep the topic of sexual activity at the forefront and core of the discussion regarding monkeypox.

Tinder's new safety feature asks users to help the app do its job
Tinder is providing users with an additional tool that can be added to their dating safety checklist: conducting a history check on a potential match. When it comes to trying to avoid any dangers associated with internet dating, many women take the following precautions: avoiding people whose profile images feature firearms or other types of weaponry. Maintaining as much of the conversation as possible within the app itself. Notifying authorities about a person who is abusive or harassing in their words. Refusing to give out their phone number before they have first spoken face to face with the other person. First dates should always take place in a public setting, and the location should always be disclosed to a trusted friend beforehand. In addition, the issues surrounding women's safety are of a higher priority. Women between the ages of 18 and 34 who have used online dating sites or apps are much more likely than men their age to say someone continued to contact them after they said they were not interested, called them an offensive name, or threatened to physically harm them, according to a survey that was conducted in 2020 by the Pew Research Center.
