Men who eat at different times on weekdays and weekends may have higher cardiac risk, study finds

French researchers released a study on Tuesday (1st) that suggests that the times at which men have their meals may represent a risk to cardiovascular health. The research was published in the scientific journal Communications Medicine. The study analyzed how the variation in meal times between weekdays and weekends may be associated with heart problems. Researchers named the phenomenon "eating jetlag" to describe this discrepancy in meal times. One example mentioned would be having breakfast at 7am Monday through Friday and only at 11am on Saturdays and Sundays. According to the article, men who usually have meals at very different times on weekends compared to weekdays have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

What can a messy room reveal about someone's personality? See what psychologists say

Psychological studies have analyzed how personal environments, such as messy rooms and offices, may be associated with certain personality traits. A study conducted by psychologist Sam Gosling from the University of Texas at Austin, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, showed that photographs, books, decorative objects, and the distribution of belongings can reveal information about who occupies that space. However, the results do not allow concluding that a disorganized person is necessarily lazy, irresponsible, or undisciplined. Although a messy room may say something about the habits of whoever lives there, it is not enough to completely define someone's personality.

Can cats drink milk? Veterinarian explains the risks and what is appropriate for them to eat

The idea that cats can drink milk is a myth without veterinary support. Veterinarian Javier Guaita explains that cow's milk is not suitable for felines at any stage of life, because as they age, cats produce less lactase — the enzyme responsible for digesting lactose — until reaching minimal levels in adulthood. This difficulty in digestion can cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea and vomiting.
