The question asked in the title of today’s episode might seem a little strange. After all, we all sit the same way on the toilet, right? Straight up with our knees at a 90-degree angle. But in fact that might not be the best for our digestive system. Stomach doctors, also known as gastroenterologists, suggest that this position can actually make it harder to go. And that’s not the only reason why you may want to find a better alternative position. The right position can actually help prevent other issues like hemorrhoids or constipation.What better options are there then? And how do you actually squat on a regular toilet?

Making a slip-up at work might not seem like a big deal most of the time, but on occasion it can lead to disappointment and frustration. And no matter how careful we try to be, all it takes is a moment of distraction or a misunderstanding, and boom – mistake made. The thing is it happens to all of us, every day. Posting on Linkedin in 2016, Leading Edge Safety Systems CEO Graham Edkins wrote that “regardless of the activity or task being conducted, humans make between 3-6 errors per hour.”  What’s the best way to deal with all these mistakes then?

Muscle pain generally occurs after an intense sports session. "They are due either to unusual muscular work, or to an increase in the intensity of a workout, or to the resumption of a sporting activity after a break". According to Sports coach William Chanconie. In fact, muscle soreness results from micro-lesions in the muscle fibres and signals that the muscle has been damaged. When you feel pain going up the stairs after a long session at the gym, it's simply a sign that you've worked muscles that were weak to begin with, under-used, or that you've done a poor job.  According to William Chanconie, the absence of pain is a sign of a good training session. What can you do to avoid them? What if you still feel sore?

During winter, we tend to huddle indoors in an understandable bid to stay warm. But while this makes for a cosy setting, it also becomes a major breeding ground for virus transmission. The dry air in offices, public transport and our homes can strip the moisture from our nasal passages, leaving us more susceptible to infections. The nose, mouth, and eyes serve as the primary gateways for viruses to enter the body. Unlike bacteria, which can be effectively combated with antibiotics, viruses thrive due to how hey siphon energy from host cells. When our initial immune response falls short, viruses infiltrate our bodies while our white blood cells kick into gear, producing antibodies.Do antibodies always do the trick? What about stomach bugs?

The World Health Organisation says that children between the ages of two and five should get no more than one hour of sedentary screen time per day, while children under two shouldn’t get any at all. But the general consensus is that many parents don’t enforce those guidelines, and many toddlers end up overexposed to digital devices as a result.Increasingly, early childhood professionals are reporting concerning and unusual behaviour in children who have been excessively exposed to screens. Research published in Global Pediatric Health in 2020 referred to this as Early Media Overexposure Syndrome, and the term virtual autism has also emerged to describe it.What are the symptoms? Is virtual autism a recognised condition then?

You may have heard of AI art generators, tools that use artificial intelligence to create images based on language prompts. For example, you can type “a picture of Elmo from Sesame Street in the style of Pablo Picasso”. These tools are fun and impressive, but they also pose a serious threat to artists who share their work online. AI art generators rely on large datasets of existing images to learn how to produce new ones. These datasets are often scraped from the internet, without the consent or knowledge of the original artists. What can you do to protect your art from AI exploitation?

Did you get roped into taking care of your neighbour's dog again? End up laughing at a colleague’s awkward joke about your outfit? Or say yes to a last-minute task that your boss dropped on you out of nowhere? Your instinct may have been screaming "no," but as usual, you found yourself chuckling uncomfortably and reluctantly saying "yes" through clenched teeth. This compulsion to avoid disappointing others is known as "people-pleasing." For some, the joy derived from pleasing others can end up being a real problem, posing a threat to both physical and mental well-being.So how can I break free then? Are you saying I literally can’t please everyone then?

When it comes to what proportion of people speak more than one language, estimates vary but the general consensus is that at least half of the world’s population do so. If you're bilingual, you may well have encountered a fascinating phenomenon: that a new personality seems to emerge when you switch languages.In March 2017, Quartz ran an article on the subject, written by Nicola Prentis. Prentis included accounts from a number of multilingual people, including Margarita, a Russian-American immigrant who fled the Soviet Union to escape anti-Semitism at the age of 19. Margarita revealed that when she speaks Russian, she feels 'guarded, reserved and uncomfortable.'How is it possible? And are we necessarily more at ease in our own native language?
