sciencesourceimages: Sorry For Overreacting! High-speed footage of a Thermite reaction producing molten iron.

Keep It Moving

By now it is pretty well accepted both that physical inactivity is bad — recently linked to 6 percent of all cases of heart disease worldwide and 11 percent of all premature deaths in the United States — and that exercise is good, because it tends to increase life span and protect against heart disease. Yet few studies actually show that exercise reduces the unhealthful impacts of too much sitting. People who work out but also sit for long hours — active couch potatoes, you might say — may often share the same elevated risks for disease and early death as their less active peers. Because these correlations were established mostly through epidemiological research base…

Do You Overeat? You Might Want to Blame Childhood Stress

Lots of us eat when we are stressed. But did you know that even when we are not currently under stress, the amount of food we eat might be influenced by the stress we experienced as children? That’s the conclusion Sarah Hill, a psychologist at TCU, wants us to draw from several studies she ran with colleagues from the Universities of Arizona and Minnesota. In the research, Hill brought college students into her lab and left them in front of snack food while they were taking a break between two parts of a research study. She then looked at how much food people ate during this break, as a function of whether they experienced significant financial stress as a child–e.g. whet…

Poo Problem Could Destroy The Hawaiian Islands Hawaii has some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in the world. The clear, blue water is striking to look at, but the water surrounding Hawaii also has a big problem: cesspools.A cesspool is essentially a capped hole in the ground used for residential wastewater discharge. Whatever comes from your toilet at home goes into this underground hole and is contained there. Because there is no waste treatment, the waste fosters pathogens, bacteria and excess nutrients, which can seep out of the cesspool and into the nearby soil. Cesspools threaten marine life like coral reefs and they can even be dangerous to human h…
