What Scientists Have Learned and How You Can Use it

Average rating3.3
The Simple Science of a Healthy Life From fitness to diets to emotional health and longevity, what do people who feel and look healthy do differently than those who are overtired, depressed, or out of shape? Every day we face an avalanche of studies and statistics that tell us what we should or shouldn't eat, how long we need to exercise, or how to protect ourselves from secondhand smoke and the harmful rays from the sun. Not only are these studies often contradictory, but the actual scientific information is usually inaccessible. Moving beyond the myths and misinformation, the advice in these pages is not based on one person's opinions or one expert's study. For the first time the research available on the health of average Americans has been distilled into one hundred essential ways that we can become healthier and happier. Each of the core findings is accompanied by a real life example showing these results in action. Eat more often. Oxford University researchers found that people who ate five or six times a day had a 5 percent lower total cholesterol than average and were 45 percent more likely to be able to sustain their target weight than people who ate once or twice a day. Who says caffeine is bad for you? The majority of scientific evidence shows that, for a healthy adult, moderate quantities of caffeine (about three cups of coffee per day) pose no significant health risks. Home sweet home. People who described their home lives as satisfying were 24 percent more likely to live beyond normal life expectancy, according to a UCLA study.

Thank you to Harper Collins Australia for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was your classic YA romance novel.
I did enjoy this book, however I felt the first half was quite repetitive like how did lou not even consider that isabel liked her for 200 pages when people had literally commented on it . I quite disliked Isabel for a large portion of the book, as she made unlikeable decisions with little explanation??? Her dad and brother did not seem to think the same way as her so some exploration into why she held classist views and the her family dynamic would have been great.
I loved the ADHD rep in this book! It was refreshing to read a queer YA book where the queerness of the characters is not an issue of contention amongst friends and families but is embraced! That sort of positive representation is absolutely needed in the young adult space 🥰
If you are looking for a quick, easy
romance with some important messages scattered throughout, this is definitely the book for you!
