Could Loneliness Cost You 6 Healthy Years? The Beauty of Boredom & Heart Health Hacks

Bu bölüm hakkında

Could loneliness really affect how many healthy years we live? Could letting our minds wander actually be good for our brains? And can tiny bursts of movement throughout the day make a meaningful difference to our heart health? This week, we unpack fascinating new research linking loneliness and social isolation with fewer years spent free from major physical and mental health conditions. We also explore the surprising benefits of letting our minds wander, from memory and learning to decision-making, and ask whether our phones are stealing the empty moments our brains need. Plus, eight brilliantly simple ways to support heart health, why a Huel advert promoting an all-Huel diet has been banned, and whether your daily cup of tea is actually good for you.
