Small sample size but promising results.

Singing ‘Amazing Grace’ for just ten minutes a day could help reverse the effects of heart disease, according to a new study.

The 1968 release ‘Hey Jude’ brought about smaller improvements, as did Dolly Parton’s 1976 hit ‘Jolene’. However, the US folk classic ‘This Land Is Your Land,’ recorded by Woody Guthrie in 1940, showed little impact.

There were fewer heart attacks and strokes in England, adjusting for risk factors like age, after people were vaccinated against COVID-19 than before, a nationwide study has found. Moreover, the benefits increased with second vaccinations and booster shots. Although the study cannot completely refute the claim that vaccination is associated with an increase in both events, it makes it staggeringly unlikely.

A groundbreaking study published in Child Development sheds light on the impact of this diversity, revealing that children in ethnically diverse classrooms excel in understanding and recognizing other people’s thoughts and feelings compared to their peers in less diverse settings.

This ability, referred to as “theory of mind,” is crucial for navigating social interactions and developing empathy.

Scientists found that the children living in places with 20-25% more natural areas had increased bone strength that was equivalent to half a year’s natural growth. The study also found that the risk of having very low bone density was about 65% lower for these children.

The link between green spaces and stronger bones is likely to result from higher levels of physical activity in children who live near parks, as this spurs bone growth.
