In a first, Palace of Versailles is hosting a rave party!

Once a party spot for the rich and wealthy, Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles is gearing up to host its first-ever rave party for commoners. Called Versailles Electro, the rager will feature popular DJs from the French electronic music scene with the terraces overlooking the French gardens turning into dance floors. The party will take place on the 8th of June and tickets range from 22 Euros for a basic entry to 160 Euros for access to the Gold lounge, bar and a royal parking spot.

The rate or rhythm at which your heart beats is often taken lightly or is left unnoticed by many. Arrhythmia is a disorder that affects your heart&rsquo;s rhythm, it may beat too slowly, too quickly or irregularly.
As part of the World Heart Rhythm Week 2021 (7 &ndash; 13 June), Arrhythmia Alliance, a national charity in the UK is "calling for everyone to listen to their heart and get to know their heart rhythm and not just the heart rate".
There are many types of arrhythmia but the most common is atrial fibrillation, where the heart beats irregularly and faster than normal. Atrial&nbsp;fibrillation can lead to a stroke or even to heart failure in some cases.&nbsp;
According to Arrhythmia Alliance, "one simple check to listen to the heart rhythm, to see if it is regular or irregular, can help detect potential Atrial Fibrillation". You can check your pulse either manually or through several&nbsp;apps&nbsp;on your phone. Once diagnosed, there are treatments and therapies available that can help prevent strokes and heart failure.
Some of the symptoms of arrhythmia as highlighted by the NHS, UK, include palpitations, feeling dizzy, fainting and being short of breath, but these may not always mean you have a heart rhythm problem. It is important to check your heart rhythm and consult your doctor.&nbsp;Some of the common triggers are viral illness, alcohol, tobacco and drinks containing caffeine.
Living with an abnormal heart rhythm can be challenging. It is important to follow a healthy lifestyle and manage anxiety or stress.

Uncovering the not-so-pretty side of makeup products, a new scientific investigation finds&nbsp;that&nbsp;makeup wearers may be absorbing and ingesting potentially toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances&nbsp;or&nbsp;PFAS.&nbsp;
These chemicals have been linked to serious health harms, from cancer&nbsp;and&nbsp;obesity to&nbsp;birth defects, lower immunity and&nbsp;hormone disruption.&nbsp;Also called &lsquo;forever chemicals,&rsquo; PFAS do not naturally break down.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The American&nbsp;peer-reviewed&nbsp;study&nbsp;discovered &ldquo;high&rdquo; levels of organic fluorine, an indicator of PFAS, in more than half of the 231 makeup and personal care&nbsp;products&nbsp;studied. The sample&nbsp;included&nbsp;products like&nbsp;lipsticks, eyeliner, mascara, foundation, concealer, lip balm, blush, nail polish&nbsp;and other products from big brands such as&nbsp;L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al,&nbsp;Ulta, Mac, Cover Girl, Clinique, Maybelline,&nbsp;Smashbox,&nbsp;Nars, Est&eacute;e Lauder amongst others.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, the research team did not clarify&nbsp;which&nbsp;brands&nbsp;were using these toxic products to avoid &lsquo;picking on&rsquo; specific&nbsp;companies.&nbsp;Offering some clues,&nbsp;the study found fluorine was often present in products advertised as &ldquo;wear-resistant&rdquo;, &ldquo;long-lasting&rdquo; and &ldquo;waterproof.&rdquo;&nbsp;The most common culprits were&nbsp;waterproof mascara (with PFAS in&nbsp;82% of all products tested), foundations (63%) and liquid lipstick (62%).&nbsp;
Apart from ingesting via lip products, PFAS may be absorbed through the skin and tear ducts.&nbsp;What&rsquo;s&nbsp;worse, the majority of products with high fluorine, including those confirmed to have PFAS&nbsp;did not list these chemicals on the&nbsp;label&nbsp;making it nearly impossible for people to avoid them even if they read the labels.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Published in Environmental Science &amp; Technology Letters, the lead author of the study explained that PFAS are not necessary for makeup and given their large potential for harm, they should not be used in personal care products.&nbsp;

Imagine this, you go to bed and fall asleep the minute your head touches the pillow. Seems a little unrealistic, right?&nbsp;Millennials tend to remain on the brink of exhaustion the entire day, yet find it hard to fall asleep at night. In fact, so much so, that exhaustion and sleep deprivation has become a popular meme trend on the internet. While we laugh and find them relatable, it's important to think about the reality&nbsp;behind the joke.&nbsp;
We stay up all night or we sleep later than we ought to and we end up feeling exhausted all the time. Mindlessly scrolling through the phone on social media platforms, binge watching web shows or working till the wee hours of the morning. The vicious cycle of sleep deprivation continues, taking a serious toll on our health.&nbsp;To understand this further, let&rsquo;s take a look at some risks which arise from a lack of proper sleep.
1) Increased risk of cancer
John Hopkins Medicine reported that working overnight reduces our melatonin level which encourages the growth of cancer cells. Lack of sleep reportedly reduces 70% of our cancer killing cells, thereby putting us at a higher risk.
2) Mental Health issues
An important reason behind sleep deprivation may be stress and anxiety, according to an article by Harvard Medical School. This makes us unsteady, irritable and keeps us anxious through the day. In the long run, this can potentially lead to major mental health issues.
3) Higher chances of obesity
A research by National Center for Biotechnology Information concluded that when we do not get adequate sleep, our body&rsquo;s metabolism fails to regulate itself. Chronic&nbsp;partial sleep deprivation is associated with an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. Being low on energy, food with higher sugar level attracts us, which is another reason for weight gain.
4) Poor work performance
If we do not get a good night&rsquo;s sleep, it will surely hamper our performance at work. Due to a lack of rest, the functional capacity of our mind gets affected. This leads to delay in work progress, and an increase in anxiety and stress as well.
So, here&rsquo;s a simple piece of advice. Make sleep a priority! Work, Instagram and Netflix can wait for the next day. Instead, take a shower and read a book before going to bed. These habits will have a positive impact on your sleep quality.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The ketogenic or keto diet has found many followers in the last few years, who tout&nbsp;its benefits for weight loss and lifestyle diseases. However,&nbsp;it is often argued that&nbsp;the high-fat, high-protein and low-carb&nbsp;keto&nbsp;diet can be&nbsp;very&nbsp;restrictive&nbsp;and may&nbsp;be hard to follow.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This has given birth to a relatively new phenomenon called the&nbsp;&lsquo;lazy keto&rsquo;&nbsp;diet. An offshoot&nbsp;of the regular keto,&nbsp;the lazy version does not require you to dramatically increase the proportion of fats in your daily <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/pcos-diet-these-are-the-foods-to-eat-and-to-avoid-1622113467742" target="_blank">diet</a>.&nbsp;You do have to limit your carbohydrate intake to around 10 per cent of your total daily calories.&nbsp;
<h2>Regular Keto vs Lazy Keto&nbsp;</h2>
Someone on a regular keto would&nbsp;get&nbsp;up to 60 per cent of their calories from fats, 30 to 35 per cent from protein and 5 to 10 per cent from carbs. Whereas, a lazy or dirty keto follower&nbsp;may only focus on cutting back on carbs to below 10 per cent.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>What are the main criticisms of lazy keto?&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>
<ul>
<li>While some research has been done for regular keto&rsquo;s benefits and claims, there exists no scientific research backing the weight loss claims of&nbsp;&lsquo;dirty keto&rsquo; lovers.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The lack of guidelines on the other two macronutrients, fats and protein, makes lazy keto easier but&nbsp;it may&nbsp;also be its downfall. Not monitoring other food groups may actually prevent you from entering ketosis, which was the whole point of the diet.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Lazy keto might open the doors for poor-quality fats. Given the flexibility on fat and protein, people&nbsp;might opt for packaged and processed foods that don&rsquo;t provide adequate micronutrients like vitamins and antioxidants.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Ultimately, the lazy keto might help your body&nbsp;burn fat&nbsp;instead of carbs for energy but its long-term negative health effects might actually not be worth the trouble.&nbsp;So, we&rsquo;ll advise you to consult your doctor before making any big dietary changes.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Autistic Pride Day is observed each year on June 18 to respect the rights of people with autism. Autistic people are often subject to human rights violations, discrimination and stigma. This day and World&nbsp;Day for Autism&nbsp;Awareness are marked to stop such discrimination.
Autism begins during <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/childhood-trauma-linked-with-heart-disease-in-middle-age-study-1588250670848" target="_blank">childhood</a> and tends to persist into adolescence and adulthood. It&nbsp;refers to a neurological developmental disability that affects the processing of information in the brain. It also affects communication and the ability to interact socially. The causes of this disorder are not fully understood and the effect it has on people varies, as its symptoms and characteristics appear in a variety of combinations.
The first Autistic Pride Day was celebrated in Brazil in the year 2005. The day was hosted by an organisation named Aspies for Freedom (AFF). The people who started this were autistic themselves. This day&nbsp;is&nbsp;represented&nbsp;by&nbsp;a rainbow infinity symbol&nbsp;that signifies the diversity&nbsp;of autistic people and the&nbsp;infinite possibilities&nbsp;and&nbsp;variations&nbsp;within the autistic community.

The good, the bad and the plain weird... dreams are an intriguing phenomenon that puzzle and intrigue many. In fact,&nbsp;weird&nbsp;dreams seem to be having quite a big year&nbsp;as proven by a&nbsp;mysterious&nbsp;spike&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Google query, &ldquo;why am I having weird dreams&rdquo; in April 2021.&nbsp;
The question has naturally also piqued the interest of&nbsp;neuroscientists who have&nbsp;now&nbsp;discovered that strange dreams actually serve an important purpose in your <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/don-t-try-to-be-a-khatron-ke-khiladi-in-real-life-rohit-shetty-after-taking-covid-jab-1617281580114" target="_blank">real life</a>.&nbsp;As weird and illogical as they may seem, such dreams&nbsp;help the brain understand daily experiences in a deeper way.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The&nbsp;study, published recently in Cell,&nbsp;was&nbsp;led by&nbsp;neuroscientist Erik Hoel who said that our brain is so great at learning that it is always at the risk&nbsp;of oversimplifying or becoming &lsquo;overfitted.&rsquo; Life can be pretty&nbsp;standard sometimes and so, our weird dreams keep&nbsp;us&nbsp;from becoming too fitted to the model of the world, explained&nbsp;Hoel.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Comparing the human brain to <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/new-ai-algorithm-to-diagnose-and-treat-sleep-disorders-find-out-1623745309782" target="_blank">artificial intelligence</a>, Hoel&nbsp;suggested that&nbsp;reading fiction may also have&nbsp;same&nbsp;the hallucinatory effect&nbsp;as that of&nbsp;funky&nbsp;dreams.&nbsp;While you can&rsquo;t induce weird <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/when-dreams-come-true-don-t-complain-juhi-chawla-with-sadhguru-1621843538884" target="_blank">dreams</a>, you could read&nbsp;fiction novels&nbsp;to&nbsp;rescue your brain from&nbsp;the sameness of life!

When&nbsp;Bhumi&nbsp;Pednekar&nbsp;appears on screen in obviously darkening makeup, playing&nbsp;a pivotal role in a film about social beauty standards, it is sure to raise some eyebrows. Especially portraying a character proud of her 'dark complexion', you can't ignore the irony of Latika's brownface in Bala.
But when Tamilian, Samantha Akkineni, who plays the indomitable&nbsp;Raji in Family Man 2, dons the infamous brownface&nbsp;for a Tamil character... the boundaries of political correctness are a bit more blurred.
Can you term a fair-skinned Tamilian playing a darkened Tamil character racism?&nbsp;
Whether it's brownface, blackface or yellowface...if it is not your skin colour, you should probably not be wearing it. But where do you draw the line in a country that has a historic obsession with <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/explained-re-branding-of-fairness-products-1593843829868" target="_blank">fairness</a> creams and skin whiteners? Isn't the&nbsp;whitewash&nbsp;just as problematic?&nbsp;
Bollywood has always been criticised for reinforcing the fair skin obsession. In fact, a 2021 study employed artificial intelligence to confirm this bias. The researchers from&nbsp;Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in the US used a fill-in-the-blank exercise to check how an algorithm used to study 500 Hindi films would fill in the sentence: "A beautiful woman should have [BLANK] skin." Unsurprisingly, the predictive text always picked the term 'fair'.
Arguably, Raji's browning could be chalked up to just bad makeup that made her face go from tamarind to near turmeric across different scenes. But the problems with brown or blackface run much deeper.
In as early as the 19th century, white actors slapped on black paint to play demeaning caricatures in the name of black characters for white audiences. And sadly, racial stereotyping in cinema through makeup, language, accents and fashion has sustained itself to this day.
If you were to raise a shade card to the top actors in Bollywood, you'd be hard-pressed to find much colour, culture or even size diversity. And this is in a country with possibly the most diverse and colourful population. This highlights the much bigger problem of discrimination and inequality in the industry.&nbsp;
It is important to remember that the issue of <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/dumb-thing-to-do-brownface-pic-leaves-trudeau-red-faced-1568860297766" target="_blank">brownface </a>isn't just the unpalatable characters reinforcing dehumanising stereotypes. It is also the fact that even while representing the community, the members of the said community itself have been denied the opportunity to tell their story.
Like Bollywood, the fashion and beauty industry is also notorious for sometimes lightening and other times darkening the skin tones of people in their ads. Although visibility has massively improved in the last few years, it is still rare to see people with a naturally dark complexion or regular-sized waists at the forefront in popular media.

Simply put, if we can be angry at Gucci for selling a desi kurta for 2.5 lakhs&nbsp;rupees or putting a white model in a Sikh turban, it doesn't bode well for us to be doing the same to our own people.
Representation matters but not when you're wrongfully profiting off of a culture or people by turning them into a costume!

A study published in JAMA Ophthalmology, reported that myopia in children aged between 6 to 13 increased up to three times in the year 2020. On average, children were more shortsighted by -0.3 diopters.
Researchers analysed nearly 195,000 test results from school vision screenings collected over six years. They found that not only does myopia appear to be worsening, it seems to be more prevalent too. Only 5.7% of children were found to have myopia from 2015 to 2019; last year, that jumped to 21.5%.
Myopia is the most common ocular disorder and a leading cause of visual impairment in children. High myopia can cause serious retinal damage that can lead to blindness. As per <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/delta-variant-who-names-covid-19-strain-first-found-in-india-1622481606025" target="_blank">World Health Organization</a>, it is estimated to affect 52% of the world population by 2050.
According to researchers, home confinement during <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/india-devastated-by-covid-china-must-pay-up-donald-trump-1623982982835" target="_blank">Covid </a>and reduced outdoor activity is associated with worsening eyesight. Those hoping to keep their myopia from worsening, should follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to view something 20 feet away.

Secondhand Smoke is “the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers”

A new study presented at the Annual European Congress&nbsp;of Rheumatology suggests that secondhand smoke exposure in both childhood and adulthood is linked with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis in women.
But what is secondhand smoke? As per the Centres for Disease and Control, secondhand smoke is &ldquo;the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/are-smokers-more-likely-to-get-coronavirus-boom-1597421566051" target="_blank">smokers</a>&rdquo;.
The study included 79,806 women, around the age of 49, out of which 698 women developed rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed approximately 12 years after the study began in 1990. The association&nbsp;was primarily observed amongst never-smoking women. It was also found that about 13.5 percent of women reported exposure to cigarette smoke as children and 53.6 percent reported being exposed to smoking as adults. What was further observed is that an overall 58.9 percent had secondhand exposure in either adulthood or childhood and 8.25 percent had both.

The result of the study highlighted that &ldquo;smoking by-products, whether actively or passively inhaled, could generate autoimmunity, at least towards antigens involved in rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis&rdquo;.
The need of the hour is to avoid <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/smoking-linked-to-higher-risk-of-covid-19-symptoms-study-1610020882217" target="_blank">smoking</a> for the betterment of not just one&rsquo;s own health but also of those around them. If nothing else then passive smoking must definitely be avoided.

Most of the adults working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic do not have a proper work station available. The houses usually lack the space to accommodate the

Most of the adults working from home during the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> pandemic do not have a proper work station available. The houses usually&nbsp;lack the space to accommodate the ergonomic office setup. And even if the space is available, people do not invest in it and end up working on a makeshift setting. This leads to sitting in unfit postures for hours, which results in a sore neck, backache and over all discomfort.
This can be fixed, but can only be fixed by you. Follow these tips to ensure that your body is not awkwardly bent or twisted while working. And make the conscious effort to straighten your back please!
Tip 1: Always sit back in your chair
When the lower back is supported by the chair, your upper body weight gets shifted to the chair. If your chair does not have a good lumbar support, you can use a cushion or folded towel behind your lower back. This support device should help maintain a good posture.&nbsp; &nbsp;
Tip 2: Minimize working from your bed
Sometimes we tend to be lazy and end up working from our beds with the support of a few pillows and cushions behind our back. The legs remain crossed or extended horizontally, acting as a support for your laptop. This not only affects your neck and back, but affects your vision as well, because the laptop is too low for optimal screen viewing. If the bed is your only available option while <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/pwc-embraces-wfh-beyond-pandemic-says-start-when-you-like-leave-when-you-like-1617259388760" target="_blank">working from home</a>, use proper back support and a low table for the laptop.
Tip 3: Keep your screen at eye level
Screens that are too low or high can strain your neck and eyes. In an optimal situation, the top of your computer&rsquo;s screen should be no more than 2 inches above your eye level. If the screen is at a lower level, then placing a stack of books below is an easy way to adjust the height.
Tip 4: Your feet should touch the floor or the foot rest
Do not let your feet dangle in the air as the pressure falls on your thighs which restricts blood flow to your lower legs and feet. So, ensure your feet get the base support they need.
Tip 5: Take regular breaks
It is important that you get up from your seated position and walk around a bit. This is because sitting for longer durations might reduce blood flow and cause muscle fatigue. To avoid this, it is essential to take breaks in between, move away from the work station and get the blood flowing thoroughly. You can also do some shoulder shrugs and calf movements to relax the tensed muscles.

Yeast is an important ingredient while making any kind of bread. Be it a pizza base, cinnamon rolls or even a regular loaf of bread, they all need yeast to become soft

Yeast is an important ingredient while making any kind of bread. Be it a pizza base, cinnamon rolls or even a regular loaf of bread, they all need yeast to become soft and fluffy. While there are several types of edible yeast, today we will be talking about the one used specifically for baking purposes. In simple kitchen terms, it is called nutritional yeast.
It is sold in powdery form, which when mixed with water and sugar, gets activated. It creates carbon dioxide bubbles, and when the concoction is mixed in the flour, those bubbles get trapped in it. This results in expansion and causes the dough to rise overtime. Doesn&rsquo;t it look amazing? This process of rising is called leavening.
Now, in case you do not have yeast while baking, you will be glad to know that there are substitutes which can also make your bread fluffy. Here are three substitutes&nbsp;that you can get your hands on.&nbsp;
Baking Powder
It can be found in any bakers&rsquo; kitchen. An absolute must in most recipes, even this creates the leavening effect in dough. It reacts instantly when exposed to heat and liquid, but not to the same extent as yeast.

Baking soda and acid
Adding any acid in the equal ratio to baking soda can also make your dough fluffy.&nbsp;By acid, we mean lemon juice, buttermilk or diluted vinegar. For exact ratio substitution, use 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of acid to replace 2 teaspoons of yeast.
Sourdough starter
The&nbsp;purpose&nbsp;of the&nbsp;starter&nbsp;is to produce a vigorous leaven and to develop the flavour of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/move-over-banana-bread-people-are-now-baking-froggy-bread-1589458754270" target="_blank">bread</a>. This contains naturally occurring yeast. Made from flour and water, it has a slightly tangy flavor from the natural fermentation process. Once fermented in around 5 days, it is a fine substitute for yeast.
So there you go! You can now get your hands to knead some soft dough and become a baker yourself!

Cereals are the centerpiece of a healthy breakfast and you have to be quite picky&nbsp;to find the healthiest options. The <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/this-is-what-americans-love-eating-for-breakfast-1563873838339" target="_blank">breakfast</a> cereal aisle at the grocery store is loaded with colourful boxes featuring cute characters to attract kids (and sometimes adults too!) Many of them are tagged with claims such as 'whole-grains' or 'low-sugar' aimed to reassure adults. But, how do you decide which ones are healthy and which ones are not?
Always look for the Nutrition Facts label on the side or back of the package. This is where you'll find all the information you need regarding the sugar, fiber, vitamin and mineral content, along with the entire ingredients list.
Here are some tips that&rsquo;ll help you choose the best cereal.
Look for whole grains
Look over the ingredients list for the word 'whole' attached to the first ingredient like whole oats, whole wheat etc. These whole grains will provide fiber as well as a small amount of protein, while processed grains will not. If the first listed ingredient is flour, you may be dealing with a highly processed cereal.
Choose high fiber cereals
Having a good proportion of fiber for <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/need-a-breakfast-idea-try-this-viral-pancake-cereal-recipe-1588598259860" target="_blank">breakfast</a> will help you get the right amount you need each day. Choose a cereal that is high in fiber or at least has 5 grams per serving. You'll find the most fiber in cereals such as shredded wheat, oat cereals, puffed wheat and bran cereals.

Keep sugar and fat in check
Do you know that one serving of some cereals has as much sugar as three chocolate chip cookies? Steer clear of processed grains, sugars and fat. Look for brands that have 10 grams or less sugar per serving.
Pay attention to portions
The serving size of cereal can vary from 1/2 cup to more than one cup and most people eat more than that. Aim for a cereal that has 200 calories or less per serving. Use a measuring cup to keep yourself honest and stick to the recommended serving size.
Ingredients to avoid
You must avoid cereals that contain artificial flavours and high amounts of sodium. It's always better to add fresh fruits to your cereal in order&nbsp;to provide natural flavours.

In the hustle-bustle of our everyday lives, balancing office work and household chores, our sleeping routine usually goes for a complete toss. In order to function with zest and energy, we end up drinking too many cups of coffee. But, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/you-can-now-get-your-caffeine-rush-from-dal-makhni-1574685292068" target="_blank">caffeine</a> may not be the best solution to stay awake. Instead, one should add power naps in their daily routine.
Potential health benefits of power naps include enhanced memory, improved cognitive performance and stronger logical reasoning. But how exactly should you go about adding power naps to your daily schedule?
To perfect the power nap, you have to perfect your timing. An often-cited 1995 study by <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/indian-american-raja-chari-in-nasa-s-team-for-2024-moon-mission-1607616603138" target="_blank">NASA </a>found that a 26-minute nap is a sweet duration for a good nap, improving alertness by 54 percent and performance by 34 percent. However, experts tend to agree that anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes is enough to reap benefits without leaving you feeling groggy when waking up.&nbsp;
Here are some tips for more effective napping:
Choose the best time
Be consistent and keep a regular nap schedule. Prime napping time falls in the middle of the day, between 1 pm and 3 pm, when your energy level dips due to a rise in the hormone melatonin.
Set an alarm
When you're tired, it can be easy to sleep past your 30-minute allotted&nbsp;time limit. To avoid oversleeping (and the grogginess that can follow), set an alarm to wake you up.
Try meditation
If you don&rsquo;t have time for a power nap or don&rsquo;t feel comfortable napping during the day, try meditation; it gives your body rest and produces slower brain waves similar to those produced while sleeping.

However, not&nbsp;everyone&nbsp;needs to nap! People with insomnia shouldn&rsquo;t nap as daytime naps can potentially worsen their condition.

Published in the journal Ophthalmology, the study suggested that patients with a strong family history of glaucoma should cut down on caffeine intake.

According to the international multi-center study, consuming large amounts of caffeine daily can increase the risk of glaucoma more than three-fold. The research conducted by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is the first to show a dietary-genetic interaction in glaucoma. Published in the journal Ophthalmology, the study suggested that patients with a strong family history of glaucoma should cut down on caffeine intake.
This research looked at the impact of caffeine and intraocular pressure (IOP), which is pressure inside the eye. Elevated IOP is a major risk factor for glaucoma. However, other factors do contribute to this condition.
For the study, a team of researchers analysed records of more than 120,000 people aged between 39 and 73 years. The relationship between caffeine intake, IOP and self-reported glaucoma was determined by running a multivariable analysis.

With the sun out and the temperatures soaring over 30 degrees, sunburns become an inevitable part of life. They occur when a part of your unprotected skin gets exposed to the sun.&nbsp;
They can be painful, itchy and harmful to your skin health. The irritated skin eventually peels off and heals but it can take a while to reach there. Although one might feel tempted to remove the flakes on their own, analysts suggest that it is that one thing you must avoid no matter what.
According to the NHS, UK you must avoid popping blisters and scratching or peeling your skin. People are advised not to wear tight-fitting clothes over their sunburnt skin. Instead, it is suggested that you cool your skin with a cold shower, drink plenty of water and cover your sunburnt skin from direct sunlight until the skin has healed entirely. In order to aid skin recovery, one can use aftersun cream or spray but do not use petroleum-based or oil-based creams. For pain relief, you can pop a pain killer, only on the recommendation of your doctor.&nbsp;

With the current pandemic adding to the stresses, storytelling may prove to be a simple yet effective way to improve the mental and physical well-being of children.

Since time immemorial, storytelling has been an activity that is loved and cherished by children. People often forget that it is actually a skill that can help in emanating positive vibes.
According to new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, storytelling can help improve the well-being of hospitalized children. It was observed that storytelling led to &ldquo;narrative transportation&rdquo;, wherein the readers and the listeners allow themselves to get immersed in the story, away from the four walls of the hospital.

A new study, presented at the virtual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition, found that teens who spent more than 2 hours per day on their smartphones were more likely to eat processed foods and fewer fruits and vegetables.
During the study, researchers tracked the health of more than 53,000 South Korean adolescents, aged 12 to 18. The team found that those who spent more than two hours a day on their smartphone were much more likely to eat larger amounts of <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/diet-of-junk-food-in-pregnancy-can-cause-child-obesity-study-1614085012835" target="_blank">junk food</a>, while consuming fewer fruits and vegetables, compared to those who spent less time on their phones. The findings also showed that teens who spent more than three hours a day on a <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/best-smartphones-of-2020-the-cream-of-the-crop-1608374809000" target="_blank">smartphone </a>were significantly more likely to be overweight or obese.
According to the research, the reasons teens used their phones appeared to matter, too. Those who did more information searches and retrieval on their phones had healthier eating behaviors versus those who used their phones more for chatting/messenger, gaming, video/music and social networking.
The study couldn't prove a cause-and-effect relationship. But as per researchers, less time spent on phones and more time being active could turn <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/5-hurdles-that-may-be-limiting-your-weight-loss-journey-1623154147895" target="_blank">weight</a> gain into healthy weight maintenance.
