Ed’s take

Do this

Short bouts

for smarts

■Studying for a big

test or prepping for
a work presentation?
Do a short, sharp

bout of HIIT.
Neuroscientists
from Oregon Health
& Science University,

US, have discovered
that a short burst
of exercise directly

boosts the function
of a gene that
increases the

connections
between neurons in
the hippocampus,
the region of the

brain associated
with learning
and memory.

Drink this

Coffee

■Like you need any

more excuses for

a cup or three. But

scientists from the

Uni of Nottingham,

UK, have found that

drinking coffee can

stimulate “brown fat”

• the body’s own
  fat-fighting defences.
  The main function
  of brown fat is to
  generate body heat
  by burning calories
  (as opposed to white
  fat, which is a result
  of storing excess
  calories). People with
  a lower body mass
  index tend to have
  a higher amount
  of brown fat.

Know this

Sit tight

■Being stuck

at a desk all day

might not be as

bad for you as you

thought. Research

from Columbia Uni,

US, studying more

than 3500 people

found that leisure-

time sitting while

watching TV – but

not sitting at work

• was associated
  with a greater risk
  of heart disease and
  death. But if you do
  binge Netflix, don’t
  fret: the study also
  found that exercise
  may reduce the
  harmful effects
  of TV watching.

Watch this

Rambo: Last Blood

Rambo’s back, baby! This

time, everyone’s favourite

neurotic war veteran must

confront his past and

unearth those ruthless

combat skills in one final

mission – a deadly journey

of vengeance. Muah hah

hah haaaaah...

“THE WAY TO GET

STARTED IS TO

QUIT TALKING AND

BEGIN DOING.”
