Why You Shouldn’t Worry About Your ‘Gut Health’

Your digestive system is a hugely important part of your body, and keeping it healthly is hugely important. Without good gut health, you might be in pain, or suffer embarrassing symptoms, or worse. But it does not follow that you need to load up on foods or products that promise to improve your gut health.Gut health, it turns out, is not a well-defined concept. That means it’s not always possible to tell whether it’s improving or whether you even have a problem with it in the first place. Two researchers from the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University wrote in a Lancet journal article and on the Conversation about the fact that gut health has become more of a marketing buzzword than a scientific or medical phenomenon.What do we even mean when we talk about gut health? Often it’s eithe...

Two-Factor Authentication Can Fail You, but You Can Make It More Secure

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a great way to boost the security of your accounts. But even with that added layer of security, malicious actors are finding ways to break in. So-called adversary-in-the-middle attacks take advantage of weaker authentication methods to access accounts. Your two-factor and multi-factor authentication (MFA) may be weak, but, luckily, there's something you can do about it. How multi-factor authentication worksMFA uses two or more checkpoints to confirm a user's identity for accessing an account or system. This is more secure than relying on just a username and password combination, especially given how easy many passwords are to crack, and how many have found their way onto the dark web. Passwords are often basic and repeated, so once a password has been com...

This cholesterol pill may fight high risk of heart attack, stroke: Study

An international team of researchers found that a cholesterol-lowering drug may offer a more effective and convenient way to protect people at high risk of heart attack and stroke. The study led by researchers at Monash University in Australia tested a once-daily oral medication called Obicetrapib and found it significantly lowered both LDL or bad cholesterol and lipoprotein(a), [Lp(a)] -- two key contributors to cardiovascular disease. The findings marked an important step forward for patients who have struggled to reach their cholesterol targets with current therapies, said study lead professor Stephen Nicholls, Director of Monash University`s Victorian Heart Institute. "We know that many people at high risk of heart attack or stroke don`t get their cholesterol levels low enough, eve...

Gram Chikitsalay web series review: Opposite of Insta-gram

On: Amazon Prime VideoDirector: Rahul PandeyActors: Amol Parashar, Anandeshwar Dwivedi, Vinay PathakRating: 3/5 First off, I have a soft corner for stuff set in villages. Even if Gram Chikitsalay feels like simply the first draft of that show. I also love the way all the characters refer to the doctor in this series as ‘Daak Saab’. That’s also how it shows up in the subtitles. It’s the colloquially correct pronunciation. Although the gentleman that the villagers call Daak Saab is actually a “jhola chhaap” quack. Of which there must be God knows how many in rural India. Actor Vinay Pathak plays this beloved role, doing Internet searches for symptoms/diagnoses; rather trigger-happy, doling out “booster shots” to unsuspecting patients! Pathak, as Chetak Kumar, equally gets his purbi (eas...

How to Join the Beta for the USPS ‘Informed Delivery’ App

I'm a big fan of the USPS' "Informed Delivery" option. When you enroll, the USPS will send you daily emails that show all mail and packages you're set to receive that day. (The mail scans arrive in grayscale, address-side only.) If you like to be surprised every time you open your mailbox, it's not the service for you. But for the rest of us, it's a helpful way to keep an eye on the day's incoming mail. Now, the USPS is expanding the feature, working on a dedicated Informed Delivery app. The app will send you push notifications whenever you have new mail and packages on the way, and will let you share the status of packages with other people. If you sent a friend a package, for example, you could pass along the tracking information from within the app.It seems to be a similar experience as...
