Brain is more engaged during memory than in real life

Brain engagement is measured by the amount and kind of brainwaves formed. Looking at memory formation, more brainwaves are formed while remembering an event than during the event itself. I believe this is why creative imagination activities can be so powerful as agents of change.

Breastfeeding improves moms cardiovascular health 

Moms who breastfed their babies at least 6 months were found to have significantly better cardiovascular health 3 years later. When that time extended to over 12 months the moms had significantly less hypertension and diabetes. So breastfeeding is good for moms and babies both.

New sleep apnea recommendations

CPAP machines fail for 50% of patients being treated for sleep apnea. Dental splints work for 50% of patients with much fewer side effects. Splints are now recommended as the first line of treatment with added adjunctive treatments like oxygen therapy or new meds if needed. CPAP machines are now the last choice.
