Perspective is everything. In a world were information flows like a tsunami, it’s important to keep focused on the data that is relevant to our modern lives. We have sifted the internet to find interesting and credible facts, backed by science, that will help you lead a more balanced and healthy life. Here are a few tips to make your life GREAT!
Learn to forgive
It’s not uncommon to carry a resentment for many years. Many people will wrong you throughout your life. But you don’t want to harm your future days by clinging with anger to something that happen years or decades ago. Researchers have found that forgiveness results in lower levels of anxiety, depression and major psychiatric disorders, since you are basically letting go of the toxic anger that fuels the resentment. Here’s a tip: write down the names of everyone that has wronged you. Then consciously say out loud “I forgive you” as you scan past each name. Try to be genuine. You can then move on with your life and gain a greater sense of freedom.
Travel more
Traveling is good for you. Researchers have found that students that travel abroad for their studies ranked much higher in ‘Openness to Experience’, ‘Agreeableness’, and ‘Emotional Stability’, than their colleagues that stayed at home. Traveling will broaden your perspectives and literally reprogram your personality to make you more empathetic toward other people in your life.
The Gratitude Loop
We all have things to be grateful for. A psychology study showed that a one-time act of thoughtful gratitude produced an immediate 10% increase in happiness and 35% reduction in anxiety. Practicing gratitude is not as hard you may think. Write down a list of 3 to 5 things you are grateful in your life before going to bed, once or twice per week. Meditate on these things as you fall asleep. This activity can quickly become routine and bring big benefits to your life. As you focus on the good, rather than the bad, in your life, you will soon start seeing the “glass half-full” in situations where previously you would only see the negative aspects. It will become effortless to be thankful for the good, generating a cycle where the ‘good’ in life begins to shine out more and more so it becomes easier to be happier and even more grateful.
Nurture your Social Circle
We are a social animal. Research has shown that having a healthy social network can help you live up to 50% longer! Invest time to see family and friends. Developing closer and more intimate relationships can help you react less to stress and have a positive effect on your lifespan. Several studies have shown that people with strong social relationships can reduce risks of chronic diseases in heart, brain, hormonal and immune function. It is important also not to focus only on family and friends. Providing support to the needy and strangers can have equally good results for your brain. One study showed that providing support to others can be more beneficial than receiving it! The brains of the participants that were giving most support had reduced activation in brain areas related to stress responses. Go out today and talk to your friends, family and even strangers – your life will immediately be enriched!

Winter is a beautiful season for many reasons - Christmas is around the corner, beautiful scenery can be seen all around and we get to wear our beloved winter coats that for the rest of the year get buried in our closet. But winter is also synonym with catching the flu as the cold weather affects the body's immune system decreasing the body’s defenses against infection, as well as less natural vitamin D as a result of shorter days.
Thankfully, there are some guidelines that experts recommend to prevent illness in the coming months. Some of the most important ones are:
- Wash your hands: Make sure to wash your hands more frequently than normal, especially if around of people with colds. If you’re on an office or in school, germs can get easily transferred from people sneezing or by opening a door that a carrier touched, so make sure to thoroughly wash your hands as frequent as you can.
- Exercise: It might be discouraging not to be able to take your regular walk in the neighborhood in winter, but regular exercise keeps up with your immune system. With just 30 minutes of physical activity - even at home - can really make a difference!
- Get some sleep: Getting enough rest allows your body to recover. When the body gets itself run down, it becomes more prone to infections and germs to take hold. Sleep 8 hours a night for better results!
- Eat right: Take vitamin-packed food like lemons, kale, broccoli, avocados and beans. Don’t just rely on supplements, as food has more variety and quality nutrients for your body!

On the day Disney+ launched, more than 10 million subscribers signed up thanks to its affordable price and its huge content throughout the Disney library. Old classics, as well as Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and even Fox content like The Simpsons are part of their entertainment catalog.
The service has been made available for users in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands, with Australia, New Zealand and Puerto Rico following soon as well. Other significant markets like the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Ireland will have to wait until the end of March 2020 to enjoy the new streaming platform.
Since one of Disney’s objectives is to compete against industry-giant Netflix, the service will focus on creating high quality shows in hopes to create a following on some of their originals. The most viewed show as of now is ‘The Mandalorian’, focusing on a bounty hunter after the event of Star Wars’ Return of the Jedi. Other hits include the spinoff show ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’, and documentary series ‘The World According to Jeff Goldblum’ where the actor explores the world as part of National Geographic partnership with Disney.
Moving forward, it will be amusing to see what changes and additions Disney+ will implement in the coming year, as it prepares to expand to the rest of the world and to take the streaming industry’s crown. 2020 already sounds Disney-citing!

Elon Musk and his company SpaceX are currently constructing a satellite constellation to provide satellite internet access named ‘Starlink’. The constellation will be comprised of thousands of small satellites that work in combination with ground transceivers.
To meet the booming, rapidly evolving broadband demand from around the world, SpaceX is planning to change the terrestrial fiber and cable platforms with mobile broadband networks and space-based systems like Starlink. In the US, more than 39% of Americans living in rural areas are lacking access to advanced telecommunications capabilities, and around 57% of the world’s population are offline for a wide range of reasons. This project is looking to provide more and more people the tools to compete in the 21st century economy.
This news has come with different responses from the scientific community. While most agree that global internet service is a worthy initiative, some astronomers worry that the orbiting link will affect the view of the galaxy and even threaten stargazing as a whole. Besides the satellites being too bright as they reflect sunlight back to earth, they could now triple the number of satellites currently in orbit, with the number growing larger if other companies like Amazon or Telesat get to space.
Scientists agree that the risks of having too many satellites in the sky is too big for one company to be making all the decisions around it. What’s your scientific take on it??
