1)Digital addiction increases loneliness, anxiety and depression


Smartphones are an integral part of most people's lives, allowing us to stay
connected and in-the-know at all times. The downside of that convenience is
that many of us are also addicted to the constant pings, chimes, vibrations and
other alerts from our devices, unable to ignore new emails, texts and images. In
a new study published in NeuroRegulation, San Francisco State University
Professor of Health Education Erik Peper and Associate Professor of Health
Education Richard Harvey argue that overuse of smart phones is just like any
other type of substance abuse.

4) VEGAN VS VEGETARIAN – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?


 By Alina Petre   
    Vegetarian diets have reportedly been around since as early as 700 B.C. Several
typesexist and individuals may practice them for a variety of reasons, including health,
ethics, environmentalism and religion. Vegan diets are a little more recent, but are getting a
good amount of press.
 What is a vegetarian diet?
      According to the Vegetarian Society, a vegetarian is someone who does not eat any
meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or by-products of animal slaughter. Vegetarian diets
contain various levels of fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, nuts and seeds. The inclusion of
dairy and eggs depends on the type of diet you follow.
 The most common types of vegetarians include:
 • Lacto-ovo vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid all animal flesh, but do consume dairy
and egg products.
• Lacto vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid animal flesh and eggs, but do consume dairy
products.
• Ovo vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid all animal products except eggs.
• Vegans: Vegetarians who avoid all animal and animal-derived products.
    Those  who do not eat  meat  or poultry but  do consume  fish are
considered pescatarians, whereas part-time vegetarians are often referred to
as flexitarians.
    Although sometimes considered vegetarians, pescatarians and flexitarians do eat animal
flesh. Therefore, they do not technically fall under the definition of vegetarianism.
