Here’s
another reason to watch your weight as you get older. A new study shows
that overeating may double the risk of memory loss for people 70 and
older. Researchers say the rates of mild cognitive impairment -- which
occurs before the onset of Alzheimer’s -- rose along with caloric intake
for seniors who ate between 2,000 and 6,000 calories a day. Source Link
If
you want your baby to grow up to be a scientist or engineer, then break
out the puzzles. A new study found that children who played with
puzzles when they were toddlers developed better spatial skills by the
time they were ready for kindergarten. The ability to rotate and
translate shapes is an important predictor of children who choose
science, technology, engineering and math careers. Source Link
What
if recycling all those pages of paper was just as easy as it was to
grab it off the printer? That’s the idea behind a new “unprinter” that
would use a special green laser to eliminate ink from printed pages,
leaving you with a clean sheet of paper. But don’t ditch the recycling
bin just yet - it could be years before the device is on the market. Source Link
