Being a couch potato is not our natural state which is why the body needs to be reminded every day to keep our muscles strong. It is the same for the brain – daily exercise stimulates the development of new brain tissue (BDNF).
You have surely heard that most of us use just 10 per cent of our brain, a figure that is quickly followed by the ‘What If’ scenario in which we ponder how much better we would do if we could use, say, 50 per cent of our brain, or perhaps even more.
For 50 years, Seratonin has been regarded as the brain’s primary ‘happy hormone’ or, to put it more accurately, neurotransmitter. In addition, treatment for depression has commonly been spearheaded by drugs like Prozac, which increase serotonin’s availability in the brain. This type of medication, known as SSRI drugs (which stands for selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors), works by preventing serotonin from leaving the synapses in the brain. The more serotonin, the better the mood.
We spend around a third of our lives sleeping and, despite extensive research, this habit remains one of life’s great mysteries. Science does not quite understand how we fall asleep, and we are only starting to learn about the vital activities that take place when we are sleeping. Sleep, it turns out, is essential for re-organising what we have learned and studied during the day. It is much more than that too.
It turns out, too, that you never get back a sleep deficit, which means the effects of one night’s bad sleep are marked on you for life. So if you are not getting at least eight hours a night, you must make sure that you do!

As one of the world’s top mountain bikers, Ariane Lüthi understands the importance of staying at her best. During a period of underperformance, she posted on her Facebook page that her doctor had recommended a top performance-enhancing treatment – SLEEP.
When you take in too much Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Citrate (minerals sourced from chalk, limestone, or marble), it can cause kidney stones to form. Kidney stones are solid masses that form in the kidneys when excess minerals and other substances in the urine form crystals.
Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens your bones making them prone to breakages and fractures. While the exact cause of osteoporosis remains unknown it is understood that issues relating to your hormones, how your bones work, and how your body handles certain chemicals contribute to the onset of the disease.
