Does Creatine Have Mental Health Benefits?

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Creatine is best known as a supplement for people who hit the gym: Take a scoop of creatine powder every day, and you may find yourself able to work a little harder. But creatine is also being studied for its mental health benefits. Is it worth taking just for those? Maybe. What is creatine? Creatine is a natural chemical that our bodies use for energy production in cells. If you remember learning about ATP as an energy source (and how mitochondria, the “powerhouse of the cell,” turn food into ATP), you already know a little bit about this. When ATP is used, creatine phosphate can recharge that ATP (replacing its spent phosphate) for some quick extra energy. This is why it’s so useful in the gym: if you’ve just done ni...

Schools must prioritise students' emotional wellbeing alongside academics

Examination stress, excessive screen time, social media pressures, bullying and loneliness are emerging as major challenges for schoolchildren, prompting educationists and mental health experts to call for emotional wellbeing to be integrated into the education system rather than being treated as an occasional awareness exercise. Experts say schools must move beyond measuring success solely through academic performance and instead create environments where students feel safe, supported and emotionally resilient. According to the World Health Organisation, one in seven adolescents aged 10-19 years lives with a mental disorder, with depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders. The UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) and NCERT (National Council of Educational ...

If You Loved ‘House of the Dragon,’ There’s One Movie You Need to Watch Next

We may earn a commission from links on this page. House of the Dragon is getting so good, I'm flirting with calling it a more satisfying watch than Game of Thrones. After two seasons of thrilling political maneuvering, betrayals, and the occasional dragonfire massacre, the story has really clicked into place, and I've found myself deeply invested in the travails of the battling Targaryen dynasties, even though I technically know how everything turns out. (It is a prequel, after all.)If each new episode leaves you craving more sharp writing and spectacular dragon battles, you’ve got a lot of other series to keep you fed going forward. But if you want a more cinematic experience that offers similar pleasures, there’s one obvious choice: Reign of Fire, the 2002 sci-fanta...
