    Can exercise snacking help me beat a busy schedule to stay fit?

    It's back to school! DYRK is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport! It's well known that we should all be doing half an hour of moderate physical activity every day. But sometimes our busy lifestyles make it difficult finding thirty consecutive minutes to do exercise. Sure, you could get up extra early in the morning, cut your lunch break short, or dig deep to find the needed energy and motivation for a post-work gym session. But a bitesized method called exercise snacking may be a simpler option when it comes to hitting your daily quota. Now obviously we're not talking about sweet or savoury snacks here; rather separating exercise into smaller chunks which are spread throughout the day. Is that really comparable to doing a full workout in one go? How can I adapt my day to fit in exercise snacking? ⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Why were the queen’s bees told of her death?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Do I have poor blood circulation?⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

    What's the best way to organise my fridge?

    Arranging your fridge isn't just a way to save space. It's primarily about ensuring optimal preservation of food products and thus preventing the proliferation of bacteria. According to UK Research and Innovation, there are around 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness in the country every year. First and foremost, it's important to know that fridges with ventilated or circulated cold air have a more consistent temperature than those with static cold air. In the latter case, the temperature varies based on the distance from the cold source, so you should start by identifying the coldest area of your fridge. What should be stored in the coldest part? Should packaging be removed? How should you be cleaning your fridge? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Why do people consider the number seven lucky?

    Back in 2015, 10,000 participants at Newcastle University’s Numbers Festival were asked what their favourite number was. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 12.6% of them answered the number seven, making it the most popular number of them all. Some said they didn't know why they chose seven, but as you know, the number tends to have positive connotations and is associated with luck in particular. That’s especially true in Western societies. How far back does the legend of lucky number seven go? How has the concept of luck contributed to the number seven's prominence? Are there any scientific or logical reasons behind the number seven's lucky reputation? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Should I walk 10000 steps a day?

    Most of us are familiar with the idea that you need to take 10 thousand steps per day to stay healthy but getting to this magic number is not that easy. The 10,000-step target first became popular in Japan in the 1960s. A clockmaker capitalising on people's new interest in fitness following the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games made a pedometer with a name that, when written in Japanese characters, resembled a walking man and coincidentally translated as “10,000-steps metre.” A study of over 78,000 people in the UK between 2013 and 2015 using wearable trackers was published in the journals JAMA Internal Medicine and JAMA Neurology. Where did we get the number 10 thousand from? Does that mean that we do not need to take 10 steps? So how many steps should I be aiming for per day? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What is misogynoir?

    You may remember that we discussed the idea of intersectionality in a previous episode of Do You Really Know?. The term describes how characteristics like race, class, gender, sexual orientation and physical ability “intersect” when it comes to social discrimination. Well, today we’re going to talk about a more recent term for the unique type of discrimination that black women face: misogynoir. Just last month, British charity Glitch released its “Digital Misogynoir Report”, which was based on analysis of close to 1 million text-based messages about women posted on social media.  Where does the term misogynoir come from? How does misogynoir manifest? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Why do some people say slum tourism a bad thing?

    Most people who can afford to go on holiday tend to want to spend their time in glamorous, picturesque locations. But there are actually some people who choose to visit disadvantaged areas instead, to see the less glamorous side of countries that are often romanticised. This is known as ghetto tourism, or slum tourism, and it’s been the subject of some quite fierce debate over the years. Some people see it as a form of voyeurism, a glimpse into others' struggles for personal gain. While others argue that it’s a legitimate way of fostering understanding and empathy. What are the origins of slum tourism? Does it still happen these days? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What can supermarkets do to reduce food waste?

    November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. According to the World Wildlife Foundation, roughly a third of all produced in the world goes to waste. What’s more the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organisation says that food waste accounts for a third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and 8% of greenhouse gas emissions in total. With that in mind, we might feel guilty when we don’t finish our dinner, or leave something in the fridge for too long and have to throw it out. Where do these problems come from? Do new technologies have a part to play in this? What about imperfect food items? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
