Slashing sugar intake before antibiotics may save your microbiome | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Avoiding sugary foods while taking a course of antibiotics might help protect the diversity of your gut microbiome. The array of bacteria in the gut plays a crucial role in supporting our digestion and our physical and mental health. But this diverse community can be disrupted by antibiotics, leading to digestive problems, fatigue and flare-ups of skin conditions. Stopping such disruption is particularly important for people with cancer, because greater gut microbiome diversity has been linked t
Virtual green spaces and classical music reduce blood pressure in hospital | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gazing at a flowing river while listening to classical music could lower the blood pressure of people in the emergency room. Luckily, as these landscapes and live orchestras are hard to come by in hospitals, virtual reality and playlists do the job.

The interesting thing here is that this is immediate,” says Mike Trott at the University of Queensland in Australia, who wasn’t involved in the research. It is well known that exercise is good for our overall health, cognitive powers and m
Wild chimpanzees teach youngsters by handing them tools | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wild adult chimpanzees have been seen passing tools to youngsters to help them learn and then coaching them, supporting the idea that teaching helps immature chimps acquire technological skills. “To actually catch it on film is important and was very surprising for us,” says R. Adriana Hernandez-Aguilar at the University of Barcelona, Spain. The animals revealing why human culture isn’t as special as we thought Chimpanzees are known to make and use a variety of tools, from leaf or moss sponges t
