SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A new South Korean study found cardiac arrests rise about 9% on the first workday after a holiday break, compared with other weekdays. They say stress, disrupted sleep schedules, heavier eating, and increased alcohol consumption over holidays may all contribute. Doctors believe the sudden shift from relaxation mode back into work stress can spike hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, raising blood pressure and straining the heart. Researchers say maintaining healthy sleep, limiting alcohol and finding ways to manage stress can help ease the transition back to work.

The Critics Choice Association has revealed the winners of its 8th annual Real TV Awards. Peacock’s “The Traitors” was the top dog, scoring 5 prizes, including Best Competition Series and Best Host for Alan Cumming. The Traitors winner Rob Rausch and contestant Lisa Rinna were named Male and Female Star of the Year. The show’s 5 triumphs were enough to put Peacock atop the leader board among platforms. Netflix was second with 4 wins, including 2 for “Love on the Spectrum”, which was the only other multiple champ.
John C. Reilly really tried to convince Leonardo DiCaprio to drop out of “Titanic”, so he could be in “Boogie Nights.” On Ted Danson’s podcast, Reilly recalled telling the young actor that he “should not miss this opportunity” to work with director Paul Thomas Anderson. He added: “I was like, ‘Listen. Leo, let me tell you something. That movie, ‘Titanic,’ is about a boat that sinks. Everyone knows the boat sinks! No one’s gonna give a (bleep!) about who’s on the boat.’” James Cameron’s Titanic became one of the biggest films of all time. That said, DiCaprio has admitted that missing out on the Boogie Nights role of ‘Dirk Diggler’ – which eventually went to Mark Wahlberg – was one of the bigger regrets of his career.
Mel B says a rumoured Spice Girls Netflix docuseries has hit the brakes. The project was seemingly scrapped after the girls ruled out a 30th anniversary tour. On “Good Morning Britain” Mel B was asked whether a Netflix project about the iconic girl group was still on. She didn’t sugar coat her answer, replying: “I don’t think anything’s happening, I think something was, but I don’t think it’s actually going to be happening now after all, which is a shame.” When asked why not, Mel played coy, telling host Susanna Reid: “I’ll tell you in the dressing room!” As far as a full Spice Girls reunion tour goes, Scary Spice said: “I think you know if it’s going to happen, it will happen, and I’m always for a Spice Girls reunion.”

OF THE DAY
You might not need nearly as much exercise as you think to see real health benefits. New research from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology suggests that just 30 minutes of high-intensity exercise per week may improve heart health. That’s far less than the usual guideline of 150 minutes of moderate activity. The key here is intensity: Workouts like running or spin classes that get the heart pounding and leave you breathless. Researchers said it’s best to split the 30 minutes of weekly exercise up across the week for maximum benefit – for example, 7½ minutes of vigorous exercise 4 times a week.
If you’re thinking of switching jobs – you should just go for it – if you’re young. That’s the word from the Bank of America. Their new data analysis suggests that switching jobs can still boost pay – especially for younger workers – even though the “jump for a huge raise” era has cooled since the Great Resignation. Millennials who recently changed companies saw after-tax wages grow about twice as fast as those who stayed put, while Gen Z workers saw roughly 4 times the growth. Overall, job switchers earned about 8% more, compared with 5% for job stayers, though the gap is now the smallest in 7 years. Gen Z is also the most mobile, with about 1 in 4 changing jobs recently. Older workers tend to benefit more from staying in place, and so did high earners – especially the top 5%.

WEIRD NEWS
Some call it the “greatest hot weather drink you’ve never heard of”. It’s called “ayran”, Turkey’s beloved yogurt drink. And many locals swear it’s the ultimate cure for scorching summer heat. Made from yogurt, water, and salt, the chilled drink has refreshed people across the region for nearly 1,000 years. Experts say ayran helps replace minerals lost through sweat, while also supporting digestion and gut health. Found everywhere from street carts to fast-food chains in Turkey, ayran is especially popular alongside spicy kebabs and rich foods. Some versions include mint or chili peppers, while traditional “open ayran” is freshly mixed to order. Its tangy taste may surprise first-timers, but fans say one icy sip in the summer heat is unforgettable.
