There might be another reason to savor a morning cup of coffee: Extra years of life. Ongoing research of people who live to 90 and beyond is revealing some habits they have in common — everyday behaviors that seem to play a role in their longevity.
One of them is java: People who drank moderate amounts of coffee lived longer than those who abstained, researchers found. The “sweet spot” for caffeine was 200-400 milligrams a day, or about two cups of coffee.
Follow the link to see another daily -- but more controversial -- habit that may play a role in longevity. |

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

The issue with pilling – those unwanted patches of fuzz on clothes -- is that the quality that makes you love a fabric is also the reason that makes it pill, experts say. Cashmere is notorious for pilling; so are delicate cottons and garments like athleisure that have stretch in them.

Follow the link to see all pro tips to reduce and prevent pilling. |
