Honestly I've seen some attitudes and articles that "housework isn't exercise" and... I'm guessing such people don't do much housework? At a minimum, it could often be a lot of walking, which is fine low to moderate exercise.

Have you ever found housework (or chores) to be good exercise?

I've seen some people mention unique properties of morning sunlight, has anyone experienced or read of such benefits?

The concept is still a little vague to me, but I've seen some articles argue about a connection between a sense of experiencing awe in life and well-being...

What is "awe"?

Awe is an emotion, a brief experience we have in response to vast and mysterious things we don’t understand. And as I’ve studied it over the years, I’ve come to believe — like Jane Goodall and Albert Einstein — that awe is in many ways our most human emotion. We encounter these vast mysteries: What is life? How do I make sense of the solar system? Why are mountains so large? How can you make music? And the mind has this emotion that kicks things like wonder, curiosity, and exploration into gear.

It seems they may...

play a role in our health, happiness, and well-being

Where is "awe" experienced?

We gathered narratives of awe from 26 countries and found what I call the eight wonders of life in the book. They include moral beauty, nature,

The penicillin shortage began in April. The FDA said it was caused by increases in cases of both syphilis and strep throat. Because a common antibiotic used to treat strep was in short supply this winter, patients were prescribed penicillin as an alternative, driving up demand for the drug.

That created an acute problem at a time when syphilis cases were rising precipitously. Rates of syphilis in 2021 were the highest since 1990, according to the most updated government data. In 2021, at least 176,000 cases of syphilis were reported, 32% more than the year before. The infection disproportionately impacts gay and bisexual men.

Proponents of Albert Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy cite a construct or concept they call low frustration tolerance (LFT), or "short-term hedonism" in order to partly explain behaviors like procrastination and certain other apparently paradoxical or self-defeating behavior. It is defined as seeking immediate pleasure or avoidance of pain at the cost of long-term stress and defeatism.

The concept was originally developed by psychologist Albert Ellis who theorized that low frustration tolerance is an evaluative component in dysfunctional and irrational beliefs. Behaviors are then derived towards avoiding frustrating events which, paradoxically, lead to increased frustration and even greater mental stress.

In REBT the opposite construct is "high frustration tolerance".

Furthermore, low frustration tolerance is characteristic of conditions such as:

Scientists think they know how alcohol damages DNA and increases the risk of cancer.

Researchers in England conducted the study in mice, however, experts say that the mechanisms linking alcohol to DNA damage are the same in mice and men. Indeed, earlier studies have shown strong links between alcohol and certain cancers in humans; in addition, the International Agency for Cancer Research classifies alcohol consumption as "carcinogenic to humans."

What wasn't clear, however, was how alcohol did its damage. [7 Ways Alcohol Affects Your Health]

The study, which was published Jan. 3 in the journal Nature, took a precise look at how exposure to alcohol, and the compounds that result when the body breaks down alcohol, cause damage to chromosomes in blood stem cells. These stem cells are crucial for replenishing cells lost throughout the life span, but once they are damaged, they can spread the damage further. (Stem cells can divide and replenish cells for long periods of time.)

Film Review: 'Here. Is. Better.' Veterans are three times more likely than civilians to experience PTSD, but over 13 million Americans currently suffer from the disorder. It’s time to spread the word that there is help available. “Here. Is. Better.” is an effective documentary that facilitates the understanding of a deep-rooted and often underestimated diagnosis. If someone watching is able to relate to the subjects on-screen, eventually be able to acknowledge their own struggles with PTSD, and seek help without giving up, this documentary will have achieved exactly what it was supposed to.

Film Review: ‘No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care’

A documentary devoid of politics or bias of any sort, “No Way” is steeped in facts backed up by the testimonies of six “detransitioning” young adults, the opinions of a dozen medical, psychological, and social behavioral experts, and pesky little bothersome things like basic science and biology.
