The great irony is that as we become increasingly "connected"—on social media, video calling, and messaging—we simultaneously feel increasingly lonely. And even though we may use technology to feel more connected, it may be exactly what’s leading us to feel lonely.
After spending the last year researching and writing my new book, Outsmart Your Smartphone: Conscious Tech Habits for Finding Happiness, Balance, and Connection IRL, I've learned that most of us feel disconnected. What about you? Are you feeling socially connected? Almost half of Australian adults will experience a mental illness at some point in their life. Mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse and other conditions do not discriminate, and can affect anyone. But support and treatment can help.

In the past decade, technology has been a transformational force for countless industries and sectors across the globe, healthcare included. We witnessed the agility and power of tech first-hand during the pandemic when thousands of patients turned to telemedicine for health-related services and information. Despite this progress made by technology, healthcare systems across the world remain broken and are in need of a significant overhaul. This is especially true for India where the sheer volume of patients, insufficient resources and vast geographical expanse pose major challenges to healthcare delivery. However, digitisation and technologies such as AI and Machine Learning offer great promise when it comes to reshaping the sector. Keeping this in mind, below are the top five developments to watch out for in Indian healthcare.
There's a reason you hear so much about eating dark leafy greens. Vegetables such as kale, chard, collard greens, arugula and spinach are bursting with nourishing health benefits. However, many kids turn up their noses and are reluctant to eat them.
The Nutritional Benefits of Greens The USDA's MyPlate specifically recommends adults and children over 9 years old eat one and a half to two cups of dark green vegetables per week. Nutrient-dense dark leafy greens are jam-packed with healthy plant-based compounds, plus lots of vitamins and minerals with just 10 to 25 calories per half-cup serving. The family of dark green leafy vegetables deliver many nutrients, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, folate, vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium. These nutrients perform a variety of functions in the body, including promoting good vision, supporting immune function, acting as antioxidants that may help prevent certain cancers, and regulating blood pressure, blood sugar and blood cholesterol. Soy protein and whey protein are both dietary supplements that can help increase your total protein intake. While each form of protein has its own health benefits, for exercise, muscle building and weight loss purposes, research has shown that whey protein is superior. This is likely related to the amino acid profile and the fast absorption rate of whey protein.
We all know that physical exercise has a range of mental and physical benefits, but tennis is a particularly rewarding and beneficial sport to play thanks to the unique challenges it presents.
Mastering the game of tennis takes a lot of mental and physical dedication, as it is a very demanding sport in both aspects. This is part of what makes tennis such a popular pursuit, and keeps people coming back to the court throughout their entire lives. Why Tennis is a Great Sport to Play Now, we may be a little biased, but we firmly believe that tennis is the best sport in the world! There are a number of good reasons for this, so don’t just take our word for it. Tennis is a sport that demands a high degree of mental, physical, emotional and technical competency, so it is an incredibly difficult sport to play well. Clearly, running around a tennis court is great for your overall fitness and learning a new skill such as tennis is a fantastic way to boost your mental sharpness. But, there are many more benefits of playing tennis regularly than you may have first thought. Not only is there the fitness side of things, but hand eye coordination, muscle toning and improved range of motion also come from playing tennis. Self-Reflection: Definition and How to Do It by Tchiki Davis, MA, PhD (www.berkeleywellbeing.com)4/21/2022 Want to know why you do the things you do? When we use self-reflections we gain a better understanding of ourselves, our motivations, and our behaviors. So let's learn how to self-reflect.
So many of our habits, patterns of behavior, and pre-set programming are buried in our subconscious. They operate in a sort of “control room”, directing how we think, feel, and act, often times hurting our well-being (take this well-being quiz to see how you're doing). If we want to be in control, we need to look beyond the conscious mind, and change some of the programming we no longer benefit from. One way to access the unconscious is through self-reflection—i.e., putting a mirror up to ourselves and analyzing what we see or feel as objectively as possible so that we can better understand ourselves and how think, feel, and behave. But how do we engage in this type of deep self-reflection? How reading rewires your brain for higher intelligence and empathy by Derek Beres (www.bigthink.com)4/21/2022 Fitness headlines promise staggering physical results: a firmer butt, ripped abs, bulging biceps. Nutritional breakthroughs are similar clickbait, with attention-grabbing, if often inauthentic—what, really, is a “superfood?”—means of achieving better health. Strangely, one topic usually escaping discussion has been shown, time and again, to make us healthier, smarter, and more empathic animals: reading.
Reading, of course, requires patience, diligence, and determination. Scanning headlines and retweeting quips is not going to make much cognitive difference. If anything, such sweet nothings are dangerous, the literary equivalent of sugar addiction. Information gathering in under 140 characters is lazy. The benefits of contemplation through narrative offer another story. |
