  • Is eating fish still good for you?

    Is eating fish still good for you?
    Nov 28 2025
    On paper, fish have everything required to be an excellent staple to many diets. They’re rich in protein, vitamins, trace elements, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, and aren’t too high in calories. The only downside is that fish live in an increasingly polluted environment. What with heavy metals and plastic waste invading the oceans, more and more people are concerned about the pitfalls of eating fish. After all, they can be contaminated by chemical pollutants such as PCBs, methylmercury, or dioxins. These endocrine disruptors can have very harmful effects such as causing neurological disorders or forms of cancer. Furthermore, food derived from fish flesh is also likely to be contaminated with microorganisms such as bacteria and parasites. Should we stop eating fish then? Should I avoid any other types of fish? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do I need a Shultz Hour in my weekly routine?

    Why do I need a Shultz Hour in my weekly routine?
    Nov 28 2025
    As Ronald Reagan’s US Secretary of State during the 1980s, George Shultz played a key role in bringing an end to the decades-old Cold War. He helped build relations with USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev, as well as countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In 1989, Shultz was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his services, the United States’ highest civilian honour. He passed away in February 2021, having lived to the ripe old age of 100. But before he did, he shared one of the secrets behind his productivity and difficult decision-making: the Shultz Hour. And it’s something a lot of us could do with in this modern age. So what is it actually? It’s often hard to find time to think, isn’t it? How can I go about creating my own Shultz Hour? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do we forget our dreams?

    Why do we forget our dreams?
    Nov 27 2025
    On average, we remember just one dream per week, and around 5% of us never remember any. But in reality, we all dream; it’s just that some of us never have any recollection of doing so. So why is it then that certain dreams stay with us, while others fade away immediately? It’s important to be aware that over the course of a night, we go through various phases of slow sleep, including deep sleep and REM sleep which is short for rapid eye movement sleep. A new cycle begins around every 90 minutes. And it’s during our REM sleep cycle that we have most of our dreams. Phases gradually get longer during the night, meaning we have our longest dreams in the morning. What actually happens to our bodies during REM sleep? Why don’t we all dream the same amount then? Is there anything we can do to better remember our dreams? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do we drive on the left hand side of the road?

    Why do we drive on the left hand side of the road?
    Nov 27 2025
    According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, there are as many as 430 deaths per year due to wrong-way crashes in the United States alone. That might be hard to believe as for most of us driving on the “right” side of the road is as automatic as brushing your teeth. But there is of a course a divide between countries that drive on the left and those that drive on the right. In ancient times, driving was not really regulated, but it was nevertheless the norm to drive on the left. And it’s down in no small part to the fact that the majority of people are right-handed. In ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, soldiers and cavalry men carried their swords and shields on the left to draw more easily with their right hands when needed. How far back does the tradition of driving on the left go? When did that change in other parts of the world? What about in other countries? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • How to make the most out of hybrid working?

    How to make the most out of hybrid working?
    Nov 27 2025
    Covid allowed many people to work from home for the first time and created a world where more flexible, hybrid working, mixing office work and working from home is now possible. But there are things to keep in mind to optimise this type of experience According to Prof Jonathan Trevor at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School he suggests that it is better to match the task to the environment rather than following a strict schedule. He found that focused creative tasks, such as designing a brochure, can be easily done from home as they require little teamwork. Should you stick to a set schedule? How can you build team spirit? How can you create balance between home life and office life? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

  • Why does smiling increase life expectancy?

    Why does smiling increase life expectancy?
    Nov 26 2025
    An often cited estimate suggests that children smile an average of 400 times per day, while when we reach adulthood that figure drops to just 50 times, even for the happiest of us. For most adults, it’s more like 20 times. Now of course most of the time we smile involuntarily in response to something bringing us joy or making us laugh. But it’s also possible to smile intentionally, which can actually bring on a whole host of health and wellness benefits. What are the health benefits of smiling? Why do some people tend to smile more than others then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
