Why People Around the World Are Having Fewer Kids, Even If They Want Them

People across the world have been having fewer and fewer children, and it’s not always because they don’t want them.

The global fertility rate has, on average, dropped to less than half what it was in the 1960s, the United Nations has found, falling below the “replacement level” required to maintain the current population in the majority of countries.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

Amid that historic decline, nearly 20% of adults of reproductive age from 14 countries around the globe believe they won’t be able to have the number of children they want to, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN’s sexual and reproductive health and rights agency, said in a report released this week. For most of them, the report found it isn’t infertility keeping them from doing so. They pointed to factors including financial limitations, barriers to fertility or pregnancy-related medical care, and fears of the state of the world that they say are hindering them from making their own ferti..

The 9 Most Underrated Healthy Foods

Some foods simply radiate star power. Apples and bananas? They’ve got their own song. Peanuts, potatoes, and pepperjack cheese? They’re in your pantry—and the cooking hall of fame.

But the obvious choices aren’t the only ones—and they’re not even necessarily the best. “People tend to fall into certain patterns—we’re creatures of habit,” says registered dietitian nutritionist Mindy Haar, assistant dean at New York Institute of Technology’s School of Health Professions. “But from a nutritional point of view, by varying your diet, you’re going to get ahead.” In addition to exposing yourself to nutrients you might not be getting from the same old foods, switching up your standard fare can also be a delightful surprise for your taste buds.

6 simple ways to protect your hearing now before it’s too late, according to experts

Hearing loss is one of the most common conditions affecting older adults, with about one in three Americans between 65 and 74 affected, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
While some of this loss is due to the hair cells in the inner ears breaking down with age and not picking up vibrations as well, per WebMD, there are some risk factors that can be controlled with behavior modifications.
Making small changes now can help protect your ears and hearing later in life, experts advise.

Can Air Conditioning Make You Sick?

At the height of the tuberculosis epidemic in the 19th century, doctors began advising people to venture outside to escape the “bad air” in their homes. In the 1960s, by contrast, AC became widespread in the U.S., increasing the appeal of staying inside. These days, many of us—the so-called “indoor generation”—spend summer mostly inside, relying on AC to beat the heat.

This technology saves lives; our sealed, climate-controlled spaces keep us healthy during dangerous heat waves. AC also helps many people avoid pollution outside. But did the 19th century physicians have a point about the downsides of stale indoor air?

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

It depends. “Multiple studies show that spending too much time in air-conditioned rooms can lead to more respiratory symptoms,” says Dr. William Checkley, a pulmonary and critical care physician and professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Here are the benefits, risks, and simple ways to make AC healthier this summer.

A Psychiatrist Posed As a Teen With Therapy Chatbots. The Conversations Were Alarming

Several months ago, Dr. Andrew Clark, a psychiatrist in Boston, learned that an increasing number of young people were turning to AI chatbot therapists for guidance and support. Clark was intrigued: If designed correctly, these AI tools could increase much-needed access to affordable mental-health care. He decided to test some of the most popular bots on the market, posing as teenage patients in need.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

The results were alarming. The bots encouraged him to “get rid of” his parents and to join the bot in the afterlife to “share eternity.” They often tried to convince him that they were licensed human therapists and encouraged him to cancel appointments with actual psychologists. They also crossed the line into sexual territory, with one bot suggesting an intimate date as an “intervention” for violent urges.

Clark shared his report exclusively with TIME; he also submitted it for publication to a peer-reviewed medical journal, though it has not yet been ..

Low-calorie diets linked to surprising mental health effect, new research shows

Embarking on a low-calorie diet could potentially lead to negative mental health, researchers in Toronto, Canada, have revealed.
A new study, published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health, investigated how the adoption of restrictive diets could instigate depressive symptoms.
Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, researchers analyzed nearly 29,000 adults who reported their dietary habits and also completed a mental health questionnaire.
RATES OF DEMENTIA ARE LOWER IN PEOPLE WHO EAT THIS SPECIFIC DIET, RESEARCH SHOWS
Nearly 8% of these adults reported depressive symptoms.
Compared to those who did not follow a specific diet, those who stuck to a calorie-restrictive diet — including overweight individuals — saw an increase in depressive symptom severity, the study found.
People who followed a nutrient-restricted diet saw a larger increase in symptoms, while men who followed any diet reportedly showed «higher somatic symptom scores» compared to non-dieters.
The r..

Negative thoughts might be changing your brain in surprising ways, study suggests

A negative mindset is known to trigger or heighten stress and anxiety — and new research has revealed other trickle-down effects on mental and physical health.
Researchers from Amen Clinics, a nationwide brain health diagnostics company, examined brain scans and cognitive data of nearly 20,000 patients who had been diagnosed with anxiety disorders.
Brain disorder specialist and psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen was the co-author of the study and is the founder of Amen Clinics.
DITCHING THE LAWNMOWER MAY HAVE UNEXPECTED HEALTH BENEFITS, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS
The people who had higher negativity bias were found to have reduced blood flow in the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes — regions critical for decision-making, memory and emotional regulation, according to Amen.
«The extent of physical brain abnormalities — especially in areas not previously linked to emotional processing, like the cerebellum — was striking,» he noted.
These more negative people were also found to have «significantly ..
