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.
You may think pills come from washing, but they actually come from wearing and exposure. Sweater razors can help keep pilling at bay. You also can wash cashmere and wool at home — just put it in a mesh bag to reduce abrasion.
Follow the link to see all pro tips to reduce and prevent pilling. |
