    #IRL With My Homies: Intermittent Fasting: Timing Is Everything

    In this episode, we dig into the science and stories behind intermittent fasting—an eating pattern that’s more about when you eat than what you eat.

But it’s not all hype and heroism—we also talk about who shouldn’t jump into fasting trends and why a doctor’s advice is key.

    Hey Homies, Does Happiness matter? Here is a review on the World Happiness Report 2025

    The 13th annual World Happiness Report, released to mark the UN's International Day of Happiness, ranks the world's happiest countries by asking people to evaluate their lives.Also, a near-80-year Harvard study, the Study of Adult Development, has investigated the factors contributing to a healthy and happy life by tracking hundreds of men and later their families since 1938. The long-term research revealed that strong relationships are far more influential on long-term health and happiness than factors like wealth, IQ, or even genetics. Researchers discovered that satisfaction in relationships at midlife is a significant predictor of physical and mental well-being in older age. Key findings emphasise the importance of social connections, marital stability, and avoiding unhealthy habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption for promoting healthy ageing. The ongoing study continues to explore how early life experiences impact health across generations, highlighting the enduring power of human connection on overall well-being.

    Homies: Synthetic hair marketed to Black women contains carcinogens and lead, report finds

    Research from Consumer Reports highlighted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health indicates the presence of dangerous chemicals in synthetic braiding hair. These toxins, including carcinogens like benzene and high levels of lead, were found in all ten tested products. Black women, the primary users of these hair products, may face health risks through dermal absorption, inhalation, and hand-to-mouth contact. A Harvard professor noted that these chemicals could disrupt the hormonal system and that Black women exhibit higher concentrations of such substances. Given the limited regulation of synthetic braiding hair, consumers are advised to limit its use to mitigate potential health harms.
