Back in 2013, American reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured a scene that would unexpectedly go viral nearly a decade later. The scene showed a phone conversation between former model Yolanda Hadid and her daughter Gigi. Hadid junior said she felt sick because she hadn’t eaten all day, and her mother’s advice in response was to “eat two almonds”.It might have seemed innocuous at the time, but that moment went viral in 2022, with a number of female Tiktokers complaining about how their mothers were damaging their relationship with food. The term “almond moms" was born, in a nod to the Hadid reality TV scene, and at the time of recording it has close to 480 million views. What are the main charachteristics of almond moms ?

Sleep is often seen as a waste of time. Many businessmen, politicians, and celebrities boast about sleeping only 5 hours per night or even being insomniacs. However, despite its sometimes bad reputation, sleep is essential for maintaining good health and aging well.Bear in mind that no one has ever gone longer than 11 and a half days without sleeping. As a point of comparison, Scottish man Angus Barbieri went 382 days without eating any solid food in the 1960s, and in 1979 an Austrian man survived 18 days without any food or water. So you can understand just how essential sleep is for human life. What does our body do during sleep ? What happens during REM sleep ? Does sleep also help us assimilate experiences we've had during the daytime ? Are there any other theories out there?

Rufus the hawk is the official bird scarer of Wimbledon. His job is to scare away pigeons and other birds from the famous tennis tournament. Before hawks were used, they tried various methods to keep the birds away, such as loud noises, nets, wires, and even fake owls. But none of them worked very well. The birds would get used to them or find ways around them. They would make a mess on the courts and the stands, and sometimes even interrupt the matches. That’s why they decided to try hawks, as they are natural predators that can scare away most birds.How did Rufus get this job ?

According to USA Today, the word “hangry” entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2018. It’s a portmanteau term which combines the words “hungry” and “angry”. While it might sound a little silly or light-hearted, there’s evidence to suggest that getting grumpy is a pretty common reaction to feeling hungry. The scientific reasons aren’t completely clear. But it kind of makes sense when you consider that the hypothalamus in the brain not only regulates feelings of hunger and fullness, but is also responsible for regulating mood. Getting grumpy when hungry is also a survival reflex to some extent. After all, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, so being hungry was literally a threat to their lives.What exactly happens in our bodies when we're hungry ? Could that be due to hypoglycemia ?

We’ve already talked about flygskam and the no-fly movement in the past. Today, let’s discuss the shift towards train travel which has come about as a result, and the pride which people take in it! In Sweden, they even came up with a name for it, which is tagskryt, and translates as “triain bragging”!The train has always been the preferred mode of transport for some people. Let’s face it; it’s easy to sit back comfortably, read a book, work or simply stare out of the window at the countryside sights going by. For others, switching to the train has been an enforced change of habit, brought on by realising what a negative impact flying has on the planet. Another Scandinavian buzzword, huh! Is it really worth bragging about it on social media? Is flying really that much worse than taking the train? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !Date of first release : Septembre 16th, 2022To listen to the latest episodes, click here:Why do players have to wear white at Wimbledon?How can we choose the right sunscreen product?What is domotics, the technology behind smart homes?A podcast written and realised by Joseph ChanceIn partnership with upday UK.

Think back to the story of Peter Pan, and more specifically the character of Wendy Darling, Peter’s friend who accompanies him to Neverland. She’s the eldest and most mature of the Darling siblings, and acts as a mother figure to Peter too. You could definitely describe her as caring, nurturing, responsible and self-sacrificing. Well those may sound like totally positive characteristics, but there is a flipside too. There are a lot of caring, nurturing people out there who just constantly need to satisfy others and tend to neglect themselves as a consequence.Who coined the term “Wendy Syndrome” to describe such people ? Is it a natural inclination? Is it similar to emotional labor ?
