Experts reveal the best and worst underwear to wear for your health.

Breathability is key - Opt for lighter fabrics like cotton to help air circulate around the crotch area, which is important for vulvar health.

Keep things loose - avoid the "tighty whitie" adage and pick undergarments that don't ride-up or cause chafing.

Minimize your thong-use - While they're fine for a special occasion, wearing restrictive thongs year-round can increase the risk of bacterial vaginosis.

Go commando at night - Wearing your birthday suit to bed allows your private parts to get ventilation and reduces irritation to the skin.

Please change your underwear - Doctors say changing your underwear as often as possible can help keep bacteria, odors and infections at bay.

Implementing a morning routine that incorporates exposure to light has proven to enhance sleep quality and mitigate the effects of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). To maximize the benefits of morning light, it is recommended to seek bright light before 8 am or ensure a minimum of 30 minutes of exposure to 10,000 lux intensity. Engaging in activities like a morning walk to soak in natural light is another advantageous approach. For those combating SAD, light boxes stand out as an efficient and accessible option to supplement their light exposure routine.

The term "butt" refers to a specified volume, measured in either imperial or US customary units, typically used in reference to alcoholic beverages like wine, ale, or cider. A butt is approximately equivalent to 108 imperial gallons (130 US gallons; 491 liters) for ale or 126 imperial gallons (151 US gallons; 573 liters) for wine, though it's worth noting that the Oxford English Dictionary mentions that these standards were not consistently followed with precision.

Therefore, a “buttload” is an actual unit of measurement.

Gamophobia, a term derived from the Greek words "gamos" (meaning marriage) and "phobos" (meaning fear), encapsulates the psychological condition characterized by an overwhelming and often irrational fear of entering into committed relationships or marriage.

Individuals afflicted by gamophobia may experience heightened levels of anxiety, stress, or even panic when confronted with the prospect of establishing enduring emotional bonds or making long-term romantic commitments.

This fear extends beyond the legal institution of marriage, encompassing a broader range of committed relationships that involve emotional intimacy and mutual dedication.

The origins of gamophobia can be diverse, arising from past traumas, a fear of losing personal independence, apprehensions about vulnerability, or negative experiences in previous romantic entanglements.

According to a study on a famously intelligent species of crow, it has been revealed that obtaining food is certainly a pleasant experience. However, the study also highlights the notion that the satisfaction derived from obtaining food is significantly enhanced when the crows employ clever tool use strategies. This intriguing discovery suggests that the pleasure derived from puzzles, games, and challenges is not exclusive to humans, as other animals too seem to derive enjoyment from such activities for their own intrinsic value.
