WELLNESS
Sleep On Your Left
Ever heard someone say sleep to your left ? I have and then I found this intriguing article which explores how lying on your left side can in fact be a remedy. This practice is in fact rooted in ancient ayurvedic wisdom and supported by modern science, it was also validated by research more recently.
The studies claim that sleeping on your left can reduce heartburn and even nausea. This is because the stomach is on the left side of the body and the way your body is positioned while sleeping has an imapct on a variety of functions. In a world where complex medical solutions often overshadow simpler remedies, this story is a reminder of the power of traditional knowledge and the importance of understanding our bodies. The only way to find out if it really works is to try it yourself.
SCIENCE
Win All With Mathematics
There’s a reason why mathematics is tough, because the numbers, equations & related wizardry can give you an edge in many real world scenarios. By calculating odds or probabilities, understanding patterns you can make better informed decisions. Central to the narrative is the concept that mathematics is deeply intertwined with everyday life.
The article illustrates how mathematical thinking can be a game-changer. Demonstrating applications on gambling, business, quizzes, races and even love, the author makes a strong argument to hone these abilities. It’s an invitation to embrace mathematical thinking as a way to navigate life’s challenges and opportunities so that the odds may always be in your favor.
