WHISTLING IN THE DARK & WEIGHT OF HAPPINESS

Not Exactly Rocket Science

---

You are more vulnerable to stress, irritability, headaches and exhaustion if not hydrated. Water plumps your skin cells, keeping them in top condition and helping produce more oil from the sebaceous glands. This helps your skin retain moisture needed to properly function. Dehydrated skin looks dried up and wrinkled. For youthful, glowing skin, drink six to eight glasses of water a day for one week. Kidneys need a certain amount of water to function at their best, and since kidneys play a vital role in your blood pressure, it's important to drink water.

Troubled kidneys increase blood pressure and put you at risk of heart disease or a stroke. Since muscles are about 75 percent water, they need to stay hydrated.

Muscle cells deprived of water grow weak. Even a tiny percentage of water loss will significantly affect muscle behavior. Water boosts metabolic rates by as much at 30 percent, helping you lose weight. To Homer Standing aloof in giant ignorance,. Give me your patience sister while I frame.

In others, the chemical has a darker influence, casting mum as a less caring and more distant parent. As a new study shows, the reality is much more complicated. Oxytocin is a versatile actor, whose resume includes all sorts of jobs in sex, reproduction , social behaviour and emotions. It can increase trust among people and make them more cooperative this works in meerkats , too.

It can increase the social skills of autistic people. It affects lactating breasts, contracting wombs and the behaviour of sheep mothers towards their newly born lambs. The list goes on: Despite these many roles, oxytocin is often reduced to a misleading label. Jennifer Bartz from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has found that oxytocin can have completely opposite effects on the way people behave, depending on how they view their relationships to other people.

A few weeks later, the sprays were swapped so that the men who took oxytocin now took the placebo, and vice versa. At the time, neither the scientists nor the volunteers knew which was which — that was only revealed after the experiment was over. Before all of this, the men completed a series of widely used questionnaires to measure the state of their social ties.

The questions assessed the nature of their bonds with their families and friends, how sensitive they are to rejection, how comfortable they are at being close to other people, how much they desire that closeness, and more. But things changed when she looked at them individually. Those who were more secure in their relationships reacted in the opposite way — they remembered mum as being closer and more caring when they took the oxytocin. Her most educated guess is that the hormone triggers a biased trip down memory lane.

Pursuing weight loss can change your brain chemicals

Under its influence, people are more likely to remember information about their mother that fits with their current attitudes to relationships. It will also be good to repeat the study in a larger group — 31 men make for a relatively small study. Kim found that when Americans who carry a particular version of the OXTR gene are more likely to turn to their friends for support when they are distressed. And distressed Koreans who carry the same version of OXTR are less likely to seek support from their friends.

Just as a production defines a play, environments and cultures alter the effects of certain genes. So after sex I think of my mum differently? How long do I need to keep my phone off to avoid this? Do doses of it enhance anger? Spoken by a guy writing a book on fathers.

It would have been easy enough; just add another question. Any differences between perceptions of mothers and fathers might have been illuminating. But, as in so much family research, fathers were once again ignored or excluded. How not surprising on one level that a hormone involved in the formation of primary bonds, those that can have serious impacts on your survival, would be discerning.

After all, if you had a mother who was dangerous, abusive, etc. And, how beneficial for you to be more bonded to a mother figure who was good to you, and provided you with nurture. My expertise is the psychology of risk perception, and I have done some reading on oxytocin and trust not the kind you want to boost in a bar with Liquid Trust — you can the stuff with pheromones — to boost THAT kind of trust.

It turns out there is a high concentration of oxytocin receptors on the amygdala, the area of the brain where fear starts. As oxytocin levels go up, the ability of the amygdala to be warry and more mistrustful goes down.

Dieting can make you feel worse about your body

I describe this in Ch. A few graphs of which are below. I wonder whether the influence of oxytocin on the amygdala might be connected with the finding of the study you write about.
