SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH

Students who have strong relationships with teachers benefit with better health later in life. Korean researchers tracking nearly 20,000 students in the US found that teens who felt supported by their teachers were more likely to have better mental and physical health as adults. While friendships matter, the teacher connection stood out – even when family background was considered. Experts say positive teacher support can reduce stress and create lasting benefits. They suggest schools should focus more on helping teachers build meaningful, supportive relationships with their students.

BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN

A crew member working on “How to Train Your Dragon 2” in the UK suffered a severe injury in an on-set accident. A special effects technician working on the live-action adaptation of Universal’s 2014 animated movie of the same name severed multiple fingers on one hand during an incident involving a saw at a workshop. A rep for Universal Pictures declined to comment. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is scheduled for release in theaters in June 2027.

Helena Bonham Carter has checked out of “The White Lotus.” Nine days after production kicked off in France for Season 4 of the HBO hit, she has exited the cast. An HBO spokesperson said: “it had become apparent that the character which Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter did not align, once on set.” As a result, the role has “been rethought, is being rewritten and will be recast in the coming weeks.” No word so far from Carter. The upcoming season of The White Lotus takes place at a luxury resort in France during the Cannes Film Festival.

JOKE OF THE DAY

SCOOP OF THE DAY

Facebook says more than 5% of its monthly active users are from fake accounts.

AI just might be able to detect diseases before symptoms even start. Before illness shows up, the body often gives off subtle warning signals: molecular systems become unstable and start behaving unpredictably. These early signs are often missed because medicine relies on static snapshots. But new research suggests AI can track these changes in real time, spotting disease before symptoms appear. AI has already shown promise in predicting conditions like infections, cancer, and diabetes with high accuracy. Experts say AI should “augment rather than replace clinical expertise,” with the goal of giving doctors a reliable early-warning system.

HOW TO BOOST YOUR METABOLISM:

Metabolism gets talked about like it’s a magic switch you can flip - but it’s really more like a system you influence over time. Despite all the viral “hacks,” meaningful changes tend to come from consistent, everyday habits, rather than quick fixes. Here are some habits that can actually help support your metabolism...

❑ Increasing overall movement: Any movement, whether it’s exercise or just daily activity, burns calories and slightly raises your metabolism. Even small changes like walking more or doing chores can add up over time.

❑ Strength training: Building muscle helps your body burn more calories at rest, since muscle tissue requires more energy to maintain than fat. It also supports better blood sugar control and overall metabolic health.

❑ Eating enough protein: Protein helps maintain and build muscle while also requiring more energy to digest than carbs or fats. It can also keep you fuller longer, which may help with managing calorie intake.

❑ Getting quality sleep: Poor sleep can throw off hormones that regulate hunger, energy use, and metabolism. Consistently getting enough rest helps keep these systems functioning properly.

❑ Managing chronic stress: Long-term stress raises cortisol levels, which can negatively affect metabolism and increase cravings.

And why do we want to support our metabolism? It's not just about burning more calories. It can also enhance your overall metabolic health - things like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and insulin sensitivity. Over time, these improvements can lower your risk of chronic conditions, while helping you feel more energized and resilient day to day.
