How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life.

Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

5 Zodiac Signs That Could Be Your Worst Friend

In a July 2023 Gallup survey, 62% of US adults reported drinking alcohol, while just under 20% of that group reported sometimes drinking more than they should. The link between alcohol consumption and brain health is a growing concern, especially considering projections that dementia rates could triple by 2050.

For all women, estrogen is essential for sustaining the hair growth phase and boosting hair density on the scalp. But owing in large part to genetics, the follicles of some women are particularly dependent on the hormone, says endocrinologist Geoffrey Redmond, MD. This means even slight declines can set off shedding. And for women whose follicles rely heavily on estrogen, problems tend to crop up around perimenopause, when the hormone breaks its predictable monthly pattern and begins a downward trend.

Night owls will find this new research a hoot.

A study from Imperial College London suggests that those most active at night perform better on cognitive tests. 

The researchers analyzed UK Biobank data from more than 26,000 people to see how sleep duration, patterns and quality affect mental acuity and cognitive capacity. Participants completed several tests and identified whether they felt more alert and productive in the morning or evening. 



Researchers found that a person’s preference for p.m. or a.m. activity, also known as chronotype, greatly affected test scores. These chronotypes were designated “night owls” and “morning larks.”

Children born with a common viral infection are nearly 2.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, a new study finds.

Cytomegalovirus is part of the herpes family of viruses. It spreads through body fluids like blood, saliva and urine, and it’s usually harmless in healthy people. Around a third of infected mothers pass CMV to their fetus in utero.

About one in every 200 US babies is born with CMV each year. Nearly 20% of those infants will experience birth defects or other long-term health problems, such as hearing or vision loss, developmental delays or epilepsy.



For this study,...
