At a time when public health communication campaigns that advocate regular physical activity (and better eating habits) are more and more numerous, what is really the routine of populations? This is what American scientists from the prestigious Stanford University have tried to show, who have thus c

This one, we didnt see it coming:spending more than two hours behind the wheel a day would stupefy us in the same way as spending more than 2 hours in front of the TV! According to a recent British study conducted by researchers at the University of Leicester, of all daily activities, driving would

There are many remedies for a hangover. Korean pear and coconut water, among others, are part of the non-exhaustive list of foods with almost magical virtues that would get us back on our feet the day after a drunken evening. Recently, however, these natural tricks have been abandoned in order to de

A swim in a cool river or in a lake in the middle of an expanse of nature, who wouldnt want that? But it is better to take a few precautions before diving in head first. Bacteria can be present there… as in the Bassin de la Villette which, barely opened, has been closed due to a number of bacteria t

BBD? DLC? These acronyms often seem abstract to us! On our yoghurts, our ham, our pasta… they are everywhere:the expiry dates. Food waste in France represents no less than 10 million tonnes per year, or 16 billion euros. So before throwing away what we think is outdated, we take stock to avoid confu

The Canadian Center for Science and Education conducted an experiment to determine if blowing out candles could transmit bacteria to those who then ate the cake. A teacher and his students then covered a piece of polystyrene with aluminum foil and then with icing and candles to recreate a birthday c

The University of British Columbia in Canada and Harvard Business School conducted a survey of 6,000 people from North America and Europe to find out which way of using our money makes us happiest. And it seems that the thing that brings us the most happiness is… time! To carry out the experiment, t

We dont know for you, but for us, who says beach, says flip flops. They are the easiest shoes to put on and the feeling of being almost barefoot is very pleasant. But beware, it seems that flip flops are ultimately not terrible for our feet and our health. In any case, this is the message that an En

It would never occur to us to go to work having drunk too much (or at least not when we are sober!). On the other hand, it is quite common for you to arrive feeling tired. Well, it seems that for the brain, its almost the same thing! In any case, this is the conclusion of a study published in the BM

When we talk about everyday objects contaminated by bacteria, we often think of technological devices such as computers, mobile phones, tablets. And they are indeed among the dirtiest equipment as an American study revealed a few months ago, so the surprise is elsewhere. Paradoxically, the object wi

Its happened to all of us more or less (more or less frequently):waking up with a big memory lapse, unable to remember what happened the night before. And there, a host of feelings invades us. We are afraid of having done something stupid, of having sent a message that we already regret, of taking c

Chocolate is the indulgence of many of us. We tend to want to snack on it in front of our favorite series or when we are not in good spirits. First, you think youre eating a square and then you end up swallowing the whole tablet... and regretting it. No more guilt, chocolate would be good for the br

We spend our time advising you to get enough sleep (to be in good shape, in a good mood, etc.), and now a study has just demonstrated the value of getting little sleep. Well, let it be said, the results of the study will not concern everyone, only heavy sleepers and people prone to nightmares. Accor

Sharing a nap with your child is a rather commonplace practice for many parents, but it would not be without consequences for the little ones. The British organization specializing in advice for good sleep for babies Lullaby Trust warns:falling asleep with a baby on your chest increases the risk of

Nothing could be more normal than dressing up your smartphone with a pretty cover, and we have to admit that the protections with lots of moving sequins really catch our eye… The only (huge) problem? The shimmering liquid in the shell is poisonous. Suddenly, if it cracks, it can cause serious chemic

To the question “did you sleep well? “, the answer is often collegial:“no”. And if researchers were looking for the explanation for sleep disorders on the side of the brain, they now believe that it could be in our muscles! A new American study published on the Medical News Today site and conducted

A little bit of heat, we sit on the terrace and we are tempted to order a cold Schweppes to cool off. Or, we sit in front of Netflix, with a pizza accompanied by a can of Coca-Cola. However, there is nothing worse for our health and for our diet than sodas, we know it, we see it written everywhere a

Miscarriages are a subject that the medical profession takes very seriously but for which it is sometimes devoid of an answer. In any case, new information brings some hope:according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, vitamin B3, present in particular in meat and vegetables

Review lessons? Learn Russian ? What if it was possible to do it while sleeping? Teams of researchers from the CNRS and the Hôtel Dieu have looked into the brains capacities during sleep and have thus discovered that the latter does not cut off at all when we sleep:it is in fact capable of recognizi

While winter and its freshness release our happiness hormones (endorphins) and improve blood circulation. The heat could well be our worst enemy. Indeed, when it is hot, beyond sweating and losing all our sex appeal, our brain works less well and that would make us stupid and in a bad mood. It was d
