High-fat, high-carbohydrate diets affect your brain, not just your physical appearance

09/09/2019

Adversity early in life tends to affect a child’s executive function skills—their ability to focus, for example, or organize tasks. Experiences such as poverty, residential instability, or parental divorce or substance abuse, also can lead to changes in a child’s brain chemistry, muting the effects of stress hormones. These hormones rise to help us face challenges, stress or to simply […]

How your genes could affect the quality of your marriage

02/08/2019

How important is it to consider a romantic partner’s genetic profile before getting married?

So it is perhaps not surprising that there are now […]
