SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Owning the latest, highly priced smartphone model isn’t the status symbol it used to be. In a survey, 73% of smartphone users said they plan to keep their current phone until it stops working entirely, while 76% are waiting for a “clearly worth it” upgrade. Many people said they’ve realized that upgrading every year or 2 isn’t actually netting them a better handheld experience. Experts agree, pointing out that for most people, the “ultimate smartphone” is complete overkill. The ultimate smartphone is actually the one that works for you the longest. Phone makers know it too, which is why they seem to be boosting their baseline models with each successive generation.

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is set to resume shooting following that unexpected pause involving Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen. The Hulu series was put on hold in mid-March, following a heated blow up between the couple during filming of season 5. Then it broke that Mortensen had gone to police in Utah with a third allegation of domestic violence against Taylor, which is alleged to have taken place in 2024. No official word on whether either will be a part of filming with the rest of the cast when cameras resume rolling.
Quinton Aaron, star of “The Blind Side”, opened up abput a stunning discovery regarding his marriage upon waking up from a coma. In January, he collapsed and was hospitalized in Atlanta, where he was placed on life support; his family confirmed he had suffered a spinal stroke. Speaking with ABC News, Aaron said that after a 4-day coma, he learned his wife, Margarita DeLeon, was still legally married to another man. He claimed that doctors removed her from his hospital room because she could not legally make medical decisions on his behalf. During his hospitalization, a lawyer uncovered records proving DeLeon was still married to a man she wed in 1992. She and Aaron married in December 2024.

OF THE DAY
Experts say that eating an avocado daily improves the ability to concentrate.
A biotech company says it is developing a drug to slow biological aging in senior dogs and extend their healthy years. Loyal says its beef-flavored LOY-002 pill targets a hormone linked to faster aging in adult dogs, especially in larger breeds with shorter lifespans. Unlike human anti-aging treatments, veterinary drugs face fewer regulatory hurdles, speeding development. LOY-002 has already cleared key safety reviews with the US Food and Drug Administration, with one major trial still underway. If successful, it could become the first approved longevity drug, and be available next year.

WEIRD NEWS
If nature calls while you’re on the road, a new wave of electric vehicles might soon have you covered – literally. Chinese automaker Seres has received a patent for an in-car toilet. It’s designed to slide out from under a passenger seat for use during long trips, camping, or traffic jams. The system can be activated by button or voice command, and includes odor control, ventilation, and waste storage features. When not in use, it stays hidden to save space. While still unconfirmed for production, the in-car toilet highlights how far “smart car” innovation has come.

HOW TO BOOST YOUR METABOLISM:
Metabolism gets talked about like it’s a magic switch you can flip - but it’s really more like a system you influence over time. Despite all the viral “hacks,” meaningful changes tend to come from consistent, everyday habits, rather than quick fixes. Here are some habits that can actually help support your metabolism...
❑ Increasing overall movement: Any movement, whether it’s exercise or just daily activity, burns calories and slightly raises your metabolism. Even small changes like walking more or doing chores can add up over time.
❑ Strength training: Building muscle helps your body burn more calories at rest, since muscle tissue requires more energy to maintain than fat. It also supports better blood sugar control and overall metabolic health.
❑ Eating enough protein: Protein helps maintain and build muscle while also requiring more energy to digest than carbs or fats. It can also keep you fuller longer, which may help with managing calorie intake.
❑ Getting quality sleep: Poor sleep can throw off hormones that regulate hunger, energy use, and metabolism. Consistently getting enough rest helps keep these systems functioning properly.
❑ Managing chronic stress: Long-term stress raises cortisol levels, which can negatively affect metabolism and increase cravings.
And why do we want to support our metabolism? It's not just about burning more calories. It can also enhance your overall metabolic health - things like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and insulin sensitivity. Over time, these improvements can lower your risk of chronic conditions, while helping you feel more energized and resilient day to day.
