25.01.2022 A study conducted by scientists at the University of Basel in Switzerland, has found that laughter can act as a buffer for stress. They identified that individuals who laugh frequently tend to experience more minor symptoms of stress than others. What is also interesting is that the effectiveness of laughter has not been found to be linked to its intensity, even smiling can be enough to reduce stress symptoms.

25.01.2022 Being physically active does not mean having to do strenuous exercise for hours. There are many ways to improve your health and get physical exercise in fun and social ways. Golf is a sport that requires a lot of walking and spending time outdoors, thus helping keep a healthy mind and body. Golf is a great activity to practice with even just one partner and as it is performed outdoors in a large space, it could be a great social sport to practice when allowed by the loca...l social distancing restrictions.

24.01.2022 The revolutionary and innovative nature of the Buurtzorg model could be compared to turning off traffic lights in central Amsterdam. This was an experiment made in 2016 to test if no traffic lights and barriers would alleviate the busy bicycle traffic there. The predictions of officials were that the situation would be a mess and a chaos. However, the results are shown to be the opposite now journeys in central Amsterdam are more pleasant and take less time than bef...ore. People are required to engage with their surroundings and adapt to the new environment, where they are able to form new behaviours and routines. This shows how unexpected fundamental changes can have effective outcomes, just like the Buurtzorg model. Read more from the article below!

24.01.2022 Did you know that our memory plays a great role in identifying the odours we smell? It has been established that while the nose is responsible for identifying the chemical contents in the odour, the brain compares the smell to those we have encountered earlier. The brain would not be able to fully identify the origin of the smell, only based on the information obtained by the nose. Read more about the fascinating link between memories and odours from the article below! ... Enjoy! #BuurtzorgAU #LiveScience #study #smell #memory

22.01.2022 Did you know that the relationship dynamics in groups of Gorillas are relatively similar to those of humans? Researchers from University of Exeter have discovered that in numerically larger groups of Gorilla, there are proportionally more weak relationships in comparison to smaller groups. This suggests that Gorillas seem to form their own friendship circles and may thus have a limit to stable and frequent social interactions. ... This behaviour is very similar to that of humans, who can have a large number of acquaintances but tend to have less than 5 close friends. Read more about this interesting 12-year research on Gorillas behaviour! Hope you like it! #BuurtorgAU #behaviour #UniversityofExeter #research

19.01.2022 Because of the increase in growing prevalence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, scientists have been looking for other remedies that could help relieve upper respiratory tract infections, like cough and cold.

18.01.2022 It is very likely that you are familiar with the belief that people whose left-brain is more dominant have different characteristics from those who are right-brained. But did you know that this myth of complete lateralisation from the 1980s has now been largely disproven? Scientists have found that the two sides of the brain actively communicate with each other in a variety of tasks, however also that there are certain tasks, like language, mainly carried out in the left ...and some, like attention, in the right side of the brain.

05.01.2022 Movember is celebrated in November every year to raise awareness about men’s health complications, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental healt...h issues, like suicide. There are different ways people show their support for the movement, for example, growing a moustache or participating in Move for Movember. Our HR and Payroll Officer Ben has signed up to run 15km to draw attention to men’s suicide and raise funds for its prevention. Ben is doing the run to raise awareness for a friend of his who died by suicide during the middle of last year. He feels like it is very important to bring to light the struggles that some people go through and to always be open in helping them through these times. Any donations are welcome and will go towards a great cause in fighting for men’s mental health and helping prevent suicide. https://movember.com/m/14359723?mc=1 Thank you! #Movember #MensHealth #Awareness #Cancer #MentalHealth #Moustache #NeighbourhoodCare #Fundraising
