If it’s happiness you’re looking for – and, really, who isn’t, especially on a Monday? – the answer could be as simple as this: Eating cheese, and being extraverted. A study of over 2 million people by the Shanghai Jiao Tony University School of Medicine found that those who reported eating more cheese registered higher in happiness, health and longer lifespans. And a 2020 report published by Current Psychology found that the most reliable predictors of life satisfaction (or happiness) are the personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness and emotional stability. Other studies have found that actions one takes to benefit or protect the environment have been shown to drastically boost happiness, and that a mood boost can be realized simply by walking in nature – even “urban nature”.

Allergy
season is getting longer and more intense each year. If you're one of
the millions of Americans who suffer from allergies, we've got bad

year, according to a 2019 study published in The Lancet Planetary
Health. Likely another unfortunate result of climate change,
scientists have found that pollen counts across the Northern
Hemisphere have increased over the last 20 years and that pollen
season is increasing 0.9 days a year worldwide.

Jenny McCarthy revealed that she stole a sacred item from the Pope during a trip to Italy. McCarthy, who was raised in a devout Catholic family, made the confession on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast. She said: “I stole a cross from the Vatican and gave it to my mother. My mom’s like, ‘You know, this is not okay.’” McCarthy went on to clarify that she didn’t “personally” steal the cross but said it was taken by one of her girlfriends while they were receiving a tour of the Pope’s apartment in Vatican City. Ripa responded by informing McCarthy that “there was a penance due”.

A recent study found that one of every 3 people in a current relationship is cheating.
A heatwave can negatively affect more than your physical health. A 2022 study by the Boston University School of Public Health found a significant increase in visits to hospital emergency rooms for mental health conditions during the hottest days of the summer. This included ER visits for substance use disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, stress, and other behavioral disorders, and more. The study’s author believes this is due to a combination of factors, including disruption of sleep, and the fact that if you’re experiencing extreme heat, it makes it more difficult to cope with other stressors. It’s not rocket science, but he reminds us that it’s important to check in with friends, family, and neighbors, to make sure they know what resources are available to them during periods of extreme heat. And check in with yourself, too, to make sure you’re doing OK

The local government of an area of Japan has passed an ordinance requiring residents to laugh at least once every day, to promote better physical and mental health. The ordinance encourages residents of the Yamagata prefecture to snigger, chortle or guffaw daily — and asks businesses to “develop a workplace environment that is filled with laughter.” The 8th day of every month has also been designated as the day for “residents to promote health through laughter”. The initiative is a result of research that has linked laughter to better health and increased longevity.
