The baseline use of plant-based milk prior to instituting oat milk as the default was 16.6%. That jumped to 51.9% when baristas informed guests oat milk was the default option.

Due to alcohol being a depressant substance, this means that it slows down your central nervous system by calming the neurotransmitters that keep you alert. Alcohol can behave the same way sedatives do, by fixating on the two neurotransmitters in your brain known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate.

Those coffee shop regulars aren't escaping distractions at home - they're escaping something far more unsettling: the weight of complete silence that their nervous system interprets as isolation. What I couldn't articulate then but understand now is that my home office felt like working in a vacuum. The silence wasn't peaceful - it was oppressive.

Of the participants, 11,033 developed dementia over the course of the study. Those who consumed more caffeinated coffee or caffeinated tea had an 18% lower risk of developing dementia when compared with those who did not.

Starbucks is in its wellness era. The coffee giant is doubling down on healthy drink and snack options, because that's "how people want to eat," especially in the afternoon, CEO Brian Niccol said during Starbucks' first-quarter earnings report on Wednesday. "You'll continue to see us push against the health and wellness platform going forward," Niccol said. "In beverage, I think it is going to be this personalized energy that can be executed as still, sparkling, and blended, so there's a pipeline for that platform."

Hanka noted that, in the trial, participants who microdosed LSD showed "elevations in mood, energy, feelings of social connectivity, creativity, enhanced wellbeing, reduced irritability and anger." Where things didn't measure up to the company's expectations came in one very specific department: microdosing, he wrote, "is not more effective than placebo in treating Major Depressive Disorder."

Just consider a typical day in the life of a modern human: you glance at your phone while waiting for coffee to brew, skim headlines while half-listening to a podcast, mentally rehearse a client pitch while walking your child to school, reply "noted" on Slack during a meeting while updating a slide deck, check your bank balance while standing in line,

Maladaptive daydreaming is when you're listening to music, watching a movie, or just staring into space while imagining different scenarios in your head,' she explained in a recent TikTok video. 'It is a form of dissociation where your brain is imagining alternate realities to cope with how scary your actual reality is,' she added. LePera explained that often in these scenarios, people will replay situations where you have the 'perfect response' to a past uncomfortable interaction.

Think of your creativity like a high-performance garden: If you focus only on the visible harvest (outputs) and never allow the soil to lie fallow (liminal space) or the bees to roam freely (play), the ground eventually becomes depleted. Boredom is the signal that the soil needs replenishing, ensuring that your next season of work is a flourish rather than a struggle.

Long-term coffee drinking may be associated with a lower risk of developing dementia and more favorable cognitive health outcomes, according to a long-running analysis involving more than 130,000 people. The study, published online Feb. 9 in JAMA, found that among both men and women, people in the highest quartile of caffeinated coffee consumption (2-3 cups per day or more) had an 18% lower risk of dementia compared with those who reported little or no caffeinated coffee consumption.

Somewhere along the way, I started wearing burnout like a badge of honour. In weekly lab check-ins, I make sure to mention I was in the lab over the weekend - slipping in a quiet signal that I was going above and beyond. I've made sure to send e-mails early in the morning or late at night to demonstrate I was working long hours.

Years of steadily climbing coffee prices have some in this country of coffee lovers upending their habits by nixing café visits, switching to cheaper brews or foregoing it altogether.
