※The science of hunger
If you've ever been "hungry" — that is so hungry that it makes you angry — you'll be happy to learn that scientists have begun studying the causes of this unpleasant condition and recommending(推荐) fixes.
Researchers from the University of North Carolina asked some people of hunger to write a story about either their feelings or their daily lives while others not. After a stress(精神压力) experiment, it turned out that people who had written stories about feelings (and were therefore focused on these feelings) felt less stressed or angry, even if they were hungry.
The main point: Realising how you feel reduces the chance that hunger will influence your feelings. Mindfulness training can help with that. Of course, if you're hungry, eating also helps.
※A photo a day keeps the doctor away
Taking a photograph each day and sharing it online is a popular hobby. To find out how this habit influences health, British scientists did research by interviewing the creators of online photo journals. They discovered that daily photography improved interviewees' lives in several ways: It made them consider the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with folks who share their interests. Moreover, it may help some fight against loneliness.
