Eating nuts can help your brain waves

By -
"Researchers reveal eating nuts can help enhance cognitive function, learning and sleep. The study reveals pistachios produce the greatest gamma waves response, and peanuts produce an enhanced delta brain wave response." 
Imagine just eating some nuts can not only give you some protein and energy but it can also help you learn  and sleep better. Those green pistachios are sure looking more delectable now. If there is a way to feel more ready to be ready for class and get some actual sleep I am for it.
Pistachios  "produced the greatest gamma wave response, which is critical for enhancing cognitive processing, information retention, learning, perception and rapid eye movement during sleep"
I always knew that nuts were good for  you but the fact they have  antioxidants in them encourages me to visit my local grocery store. Almonds are also good too. 
Perhaps in the morning when humans have very little energy, instead of having coffee, maybe having some nuts in morning as a snack or even part of breakfast might help a student regain the information that is taught very each in the morning. Or even at night before bed, have a few nut to help with sleep. Who knew nuts were so good? Go Nuts.

    I used to eat nuts a lot last year while on a Ketogenic diet and i did realize i had a lot more energy and i was able to focus better. I actually ate some nuts for breakfast about two weeks ago and was more awake in class that day so maybe ill go back to eating them on a daily basis.

    This article is very interesting because I know some people that love nuts and now that I am thinking about it they are much more energetic and sleep much better. I, myself, do not like nuts that much and I am not as energetic and do not get much sleep. I do enjoy some nuts, so I will try to incorporate more nuts into my diet and hopefully see some results.

    As someone who is into fitness and maintaining a good diet, this article is good news to me. I knew nuts were great for their protein but I wasn't aware that they had antioxidants in them as well. I will definitely be incorporating them into my diet more.

Sniffing Pleasant Odors may Decrease Cigarette Cravings

By -
https://neurosciencenews.com/olfaction-cigarette-craving-11085/ Smoking today is known to be an addictive habit. In fact, a significant group of people who want to quit smoking will relapse after roughly two weeks of not smoking. However, a new study from the APA has shown that smokers who sniff a pleasant smell prior to smoking will have an easier time resisting the urge to smoke. In this study, the researchers selected 232 smokers from the ages of 18-55. First, the participants were exposed to multiple different smells and asked to identify the most pleasant smell to them. Then, participants were asked to light a cigarette and rate (from 1-100) their desire to smoke that cigarette. After the participants gave a rating, they were given a container to sniff the odor that each participant said was most pleasant. The results suggest that sniffing the pleasant odor while a cigarette was lit caused the craving of smoking the cigarette to decrease. The researchers believe that the ple

Holding hands can sync brainwaves, ease pain, study shows

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180301094822.htm Summary: Pain researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder and University of Haifa did a studying showing just how far-reaching the simple act of touch can be. They have been studying a phenomenon known as “interpersonal synchronization”, which is the idea that people physiologically sync with those they are with. Pavel Goldstein is the first to look at brain wave synchronization and its relation to pain. He was compelled to do so after the birth of his daughter because it was through that experience he realized holding his wife’s hand helped to eased her pain. He decided to take this idea to the lab in hopes to unveil the science behind a healing touch. They found through their study that “…pain totally interrupts this interpersonal synchronization between couples and touch brings it back.” Touch is powerful and it may even activate pain-killing reward mechanisms in the brain. So if ever you find yourself i
