There’s nothing better than the cool blast of an air conditioner on a hot summer day. But that air conditioning unit could also be making you sick. According to research, “air con flu” or “air con sickness” is a real thing. Researchers found that poorly maintained air conditioning units can cause headaches, fatigue and concentration problems. Dirty AC filters and units can also spread bacteria and mold, which can lead to respiratory problems. One type of pneumonia that can be caused by air conditioning is known as Legionnaires’ disease. The disease is caused by the Legionella bacteria, which can be contracted by inhaling droplets of water from things like air conditioning.

Mustard greens are packed with nutrients, and research shows they protect against several chronic illnesses. Mustard greens are full of antioxidants, which protect against oxidative stress caused by free radicals. The leafy green is also great at reducing inflammation, is packed with fiber, and very low in calories. Mustard greens also contain all of your vitamin K requirements, which most people rarely get enough of. Its slightly spicy flavor makes it great to pair with sweeter fruits.

With all the social media health trends of smoothies and juicing, you may have been misled about the benefits of blending your fruits and vegetables. Juicing strips most of the benefits away from fruits and vegetables so you should opt to eat whole produce when you can. Fiber is one of the main benefits of fruit and vegetables, but when you blend them, the fiber is lost. Without fiber, you’re left with sugars, water, and some vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Fruit sugar, without fiber, will leave you less satisfied and hungrier sooner. Juicing being sold as a good weight loss method is also not true. The fiber lost during blending is what keeps you full and consuming less calories throughout the day. One cup of orange juice has 100 calories, no fiber, and nearly 25 grams of sugar. One orange has 60 calories, 3 grams of fiber, and 15 grams of carbs.

Juicing Not Healthier Than Eating Whole Fruits

The NHS has been given the green light to use QbTest, a new digital assessment to expedite the diagnosis of ADHD in children and young people, as reported by the Guardian. Approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice), this computer-based test evaluates inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. By combining QbTest results with other collected information, clinicians can diagnose or rule out ADHD more efficiently. Experts anticipate that this will help more children get diagnosed within six months of their initial assessment addressing the long waiting periods that currently exist.

These are examples of the rare breed of goat that was granted a special title when King Charles III visited Guernsey on Tuesday 16 July 2024. The Golden Guernsey Goat breed will be renamed the Royal Golden Guernsey Goat. This marks the first time in recent history that a protected title has been granted to a livestock breed. The title will apply to all Golden Guernseys on the island and across the world. Royal titles are rarely granted and are subject to strict standards, following advice from the Cabinet Office. During the ceremony, an engraved brass goat bell on a collar will be placed around the neck of Summerville Tamsin, an eight-year-old female Golden Guernsey Goat. This dairy breed is known for its distinctive golden skin and hair, which can range from pale blond to deep bronze. These examples are not from Guernsey itself but from Ruth Dalton’s herd in the Lake District, and Poppy Cottrell’s herd in North Yorkshire. The goat enthusiasts are members of the Golden Guernsey Goat Society. King Charles III, who is the patron of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, supports the preservation of such rare breeds. The Golden Guernsey Goat’s new title will be a lasting legacy for the breed.
