Cognitive Empathy

People also possess the power of cognitive empathy, the capacity to understand another's perspective. I can guess what you are likely thinking in any given situation.

Cognitive empathy is a perspective-taking process. If I see you get rejected for a promotion at work, I can put myself in your shoes. I can accurately guess what you are thinking and planning to do in response. This ability to mentalize or model the thoughts of others allows us to anticipate what is going to happen next in social situations.

Enjoying things when they’re good

Worrying about when “the other shoe will drop” will only steal your current joy. Students who predict getting a poor grade on an exam felt bad for days before receiving their results. Worse, their stressing didn’t diminish the disappointment they felt once they got their scores.

One underlying reason people worry is that on some level they assume it helps. Yet we need to accept that we can’t perfectly prepare for potential challenges. There are an infinite number of bad things that could possibly happen, although most are unlikely, and there is just no way a person can anticipate them all.

Keep in mind that we are notoriously bad at predicting how we will feel in a given situation, and things often go better than we imagine they will in moments of fear. People find they worry about everything bad that could possibly happen so that they won’t be taken off guard. What really bothers them is that although they do sometimes experience bad things, they are never the ones they thought about.

Bananas

Bananas may help turn a frown upside down. They’re high in vitamin B6, which helps synthesize feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Furthermore, one large banana (136 grams) provides 16 grams of sugar and 3.5 grams of fiber.

When paired with fiber, sugar is released slowly into your bloodstream, allowing for stable blood sugar levels and better mood control. Blood sugar levels that are too low may lead to irritability and mood swings.

Finally, this ubiquitous tropical fruit, especially when still showing green on the peel, is an excellent source of prebiotics, a type of fiber that helps feed healthy bacteria in your gut. A robust gut microbiome is associated with lower rates of mood disorders.

Saving secrets from different countries
Australia

69% of Australians admit that they try to avoid ironing their clothes and 41% of them say that they’ve never even used one. These resourceful people find different ways to press their wrinkled clothes.
One way they avoid ironing is by hanging their clothes on hangers and leaving them in the bathroom while someone is taking a shower. The steam smooths out the wrinkles, saving electricity and time.

Best vitamins & supplements for dry skin
Vitamin C

Vitamin C acts as a powerful, skin-protective antioxidant and is essential for collagen production, making it an important nutrient for skin health. In fact, the skin contains very high levels of vitamin C, with a concentration of up to 64 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of the epidermal skin layer.

Various studies showed:
😀Increasing dietary vitamin C through vitamin C supplements may improve many factors of skin health, including skin hydration.
😀Vitamin C may enhance skin barrier function and help reduce water loss, which may help prevent dry skin.
😀When used in combination with other nutrients, vitamin C may help enhance skin moisture.
😀Taking a supplement that contained 54 mg of vitamin C, as well as marine protein and a combination of other nutrients, significantly improved skin hydration.
😀Women who took a supplement that contained 54 mg of vitamin C, as well as zinc and marine protein, had significantly reduced skin roughness.
😀Supplementing with vitamin C may improve overall skin health and help combat dry skin.

How being single improves your life
You learn to enjoy your own company

Being single doesn’t necessarily need to be synonymous with being lonely. In fact, you can actually gain an appreciation for time alone.
It’s liberating to discover that we can enjoy our own company. Being content in our own company frees us from the need to chase others.
When we learn to enjoy being alone, we become more selective about the company we choose, i.e., spending time with only those who improve our lives and contribute to our well being.

How does lab milk compare with other types of milk?

Until recently, milk alternatives have been completely plant-based.
These include almond, rice, coconut, and soy milk.
Their nutrients vary significantly between each type and even more so compared with cow’s milk.
For example, 1 cup, or 240 mL, of whole cow’s milk packs 7 grams of protein, 8 grams of fat, and 12 grams of carbs, while the same amount of unsweetened almond milk barely contains 3 grams of fat and 2 grams each of protein and carbs.
While fat and carb contents may differ among plant milks, all except soy milk are lacking in protein.
Further, many plant milks lack calcium and vitamin D unless the manufacturer adds these nutrients.
Conversely, lab milk is tailored to replicate the composition of carbs, fats, and high quality protein in cow’s milk.
In fact, Perfect Day’s flora-made protein contains beta lactoglobulin, cow milk’s major whey protein, identical to that of domesticated cows.
Keep in mind that specific nutrient information is unavailable since the product is still in development.

How is lab milk made?

Replicating milk’s proteins is a key element in lab-made dairy products.
This process relies on fermentation.
Companies like Perfect Day, which is one of the pioneers of lab milk, utilize Trichoderma reeseiyeast to convert plant sugar into whey and casein, two of milk’s main proteins.
This process is similar to how other yeasts ferment sugar into alcohol or leavened bread.
To do so, companies genetically modify the yeast and insert milk protein genes into its DNA.
Perfect Day calls their final product flora-made protein, though other companies may use bacteria, fungi, or other microflora instead of yeast.
The protein is then separated from the yeast and the remaining sugar.
Next, it’s filtered and dried to make a powder.
Later on, this protein powder is mixed with water, vitamins, minerals, and plant-based fats and sugars using the nutrient proportions in cow’s milk.
Note that while the yeast is a GMO a.k.a., genetically modified organism, the final product may be considered non-GMO because the protein is separated from the yeast during filtration.

Walk regularly

Aerobic exercise, including something as uncomplicated and low-impact as walking, has many benefits for the body and the brain, including a reduced risk of chronic diseases, anti-anxiety and mood-enhancing effects. Aim for a total of about 30 minutes of quick walking every day

Eat outside.

In many cultures, people eat outside all year. There is something so relaxing about long lunches where you can just watch people or the clouds go by. And, this relaxed state actually lowers cortisol and enhances your digestion. Plus, if you spend a lot of time in an office with artificial light, eating outdoors in the sunshine is a great way to enhance your mood. Try a picnic in the park or simply move your family dinner out to the porch.

The Importance of Eating Avocados:

Avocados offer nearly 20 vitamins and minerals in every serving, including potassium (which helps control blood pressure), lutein (which is good for your eyes), and folate (which is crucial for cell repair and during pregnancy). Avocados are a good source of B vitamins, which help you fight off disease and infection.
