Sitting down for most of the day is obviously bad for us, known to raise our risk of type 2 diabetes, cancer and even an early death. However, it’s largely unavoidable for those of us with desk-based jobs. Too much sitting is also detrimental for our mental health, a study from sportswear company Asics has found. Survey results from more than 7000 desk-based workers found that mood drops after just two hours and stress spikes four hours in. However, taking a 15-minute exercise break reverses these effects. Taking a midday stroll or jog can vastly improve your health at work. Credit: Joe Armao Professor Brendon Stubbs, a researcher in movement and mental wellbeing at King’s College London, who led the study, says incorporating movement into our working day – among other healthy habits – could be game-changing. “Each habit can contribute to positive mental health, and the more people do, especially over time, the greater the physical and mental health benefits,” he says. Here, he shares his top tips. 8am: Read a book on your commute instead of scrolling social media. Most of us are spending up to nine hours of our day sitting down. If you’re seated for your commute, at least make sure you’re engaging your brain, Stubbs says. “It is passive sedentary behaviour (such as sitting down to watch Netflix or scroll social media) and not active sedentary behaviour (sitting down to read a book or play a game, for example) that is particularly not good for our mental health,” he explains. Swap your afternoon biscuit for a bar of dark chocolate, a healthier option that can lift your mood. A study from Stubbs and colleagues which looked at the self-reported health habits and medical notes of around 40,000 people found that those engaging in more than three hours of active sedentary behaviour per day had a 26 per cent lower risk of depression compared to those who did less than this. “Additionally, our research has shown that excessive social media is literally rewiring our brain and altering our reward-processing systems, making it harder to become motivated for everyday tasks,” Stubbs adds. 11am: Breathing exercises to reduce stress spike. The Asics research found that it is after just two hours into desk-based work that stress levels start to rise – so around 11am if your working day starts at 9am. “To combat this, do some deep nasal breathing in the morning,” Stubbs recommends. Research from Stanford University found that just five minutes of breathing exercises can reduce anxiety, improve mood and slow breathing, which is a sign that the body is calm. To try it, sit up in your seat and relax your shoulders. Inhale slowly through your nose, letting your belly rise and fill with air. Once your lungs are comfortably full, take another inhale of air to expand your lungs as much as possible. Then, exhale slowly through your mouth, making sure that it lasts longer than your inhale. Repeat for five to 10 minutes. “This can help calm the nervous system and set our body and minds on a good foundation to be clear of mind and calm for the day,” Stubbs adds. 12pm: Eat a homemade lunch. More than half of the calories we eat each day comes from ultra-processed foods (those containing ingredients you wouldn’t find in your kitchen cupboard, such as preservatives, emulsifiers and artificial flavourings). A diet high in these foods is linked to a 30 per cent higher risk of depression in the future, and there are also links to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart problems and even some cancers. A homemade lunch is a better option than processed store-bought food. Credit: iStock A homemade lunch that avoids ultra-processed ingredients and instead incorporates elements of the Mediterranean diet (vegetables, fruit, wholegrains, fish and olive oil) can help protect against these risks and improve mood, Stubbs says. “Make something that includes a good amount of whole grains, such as wholewheat bread and brown rice, fish – especially those rich in omega-3 fatty acids – or lentils and pulses, which are a good source of protein,” he says. For example, this could be a tuna sandwich made with wholemeal bread, a chickpea curry with brown rice, or a lentil and vegetable soup. 2pm: Move for 15 minutes. It’s around halfway through our working day that stress levels spike – sitting around a fifth higher than they were at the start of the day – the Asics study found. However, taking a 15-minute exercise break reversed this effect. Loading “Our recent research has shown that moving for 15 minutes, especially after sitting for a prolonged period of time, can reduce stress by 14.7 per cent and improve your state of mind,” Stubbs says. This could be a walk, which would add around 1500 steps to your daily count, weightlifting or a short HIIT (high-intensity interval training) class. The positive effect of movement is thought to be down to it triggering the brain to release mood-boosting neurotransmitters, including endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, Stubbs explains. 3pm: Eat a piece of dark chocolate. Swap your afternoon biscuit for a bar of dark chocolate, a healthier option that can lift your mood, Stubbs suggests. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and fibre and has been linked to lower blood pressure, healthier cholesterol levels and brain function. The afternoon is the ideal time for this snack, as it contains caffeine, which may disrupt sleep for some people if it is eaten in the evening, he notes. Research from Stubbs and colleagues, which examined the daily chocolate consumption and mood of around 13,000 people, found that those who ate dark chocolate – around 100g per day – were around 57 per cent less likely to develop depression symptoms than those who didn’t eat chocolate. However, bear in mind that 100g of dark chocolate will contain around 600 calories and 14g of sugar, so a smaller portion may be best. A single 10g square has still been linked to health benefits. 6pm: Avoid alcohol and go for a soft drink after work. Despite its initial relaxing effects, alcohol isn’t good for us. It harms our heart and brain and raises the likelihood that we will suffer from high blood pressure, stroke and cancer. In Britain we’re told to not exceed 14 units per week (around six 175ml glasses of wine, six pints of 4 per cent beer or 14 single shots of spirit). However, “the research suggests that no level of alcohol consumption is associated with better health,” Stubbs notes. So when it comes to after-work drinking, try to avoid it, he recommends. “Swap to a hydrating drink,” he suggests. “Try kombucha [a fizzy drink made from fermented black tea] or an alcohol-free option of your favourite drink.” - Telegraph The Business Briefing newsletter delivers major stories, exclusive coverage and expert opinion.

Goodbye to Social Security checks – These are the other benefits that almost no one knows about from the SSANoneBurning love! Is this the night Lady Louise Windsor fell for her St Andrews University beau? Daughter of Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh met boyfriend Felix Da Silva-Clamp when she starred in a theatre show Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport By JOHN PAUL BRESLIN FOR THE SCOTTISH MAIL ON SUNDAY Published: 18:09, 23 November 2024 | Updated: 18:09, 23 November 2024 e-mail View comments Her role in what proved to be a popular theatre production saw her play a powerful being with magic on her side. And, as it turned out, she cast a spell on one of her co-stars - entering into a relationship with him that has sparked excitement among Royal fans. Now, this image of Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh , shows her in costume for the part that proved pivotal in her budding romance. The photo was posted on social media as part of the promotion of Dragon Fever - the student production she starred in earlier this year. Gazing into the flames she has conjured up in her hands, she looks every bit the enchantress, decked out in a golden headpiece and a rich red velvet gown that wouldn’t have looked out of place in the Royal court of medeival times. It recently emerged that one of the other cast members in the production - Felix Da Silva-Clamp - is now dating Lady Louise, with their involvement in the show said to have played a part in drawing them together. For his part, Mr Da Silva-Clamp, 19, played ‘an impressionable and naïve young squire’ called Grant. His performance saw him go on to win the Best Scene Stealer award. According to the official Instagram page for Dragon Fever, his character was not ‘the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree’, but was always ready with a joke and a smile. Lady Louise starred in university theatre show Dragon Fever Lady Louise with Felix Da Silva-Clamp A cheery photo of him posted online showed him dressed in his costume, while making two thumbs-up signs. The young couple are both studying at St Andrews University - the same hallowed institution where a young Prince William met and fell in love with his fellow student - now his wife the Princess of Wales - Kate Middleton. Read More Wills and Kate 2! How Lady Louise's romance is flourishing as St Andrews University plays matchmaker Dragon Fever reportedly told the story of nine strangers on a mission to slay a dragon, which ultimately turns into a murder mystery ‘full of riddles, twists, and love affairs’, the outlet reported. Lady Louise is believed to have played Rigeon, inspired by the hero of Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote and Lord Byron’s fictional libertine Don Juan. A friend of Lady Louise, who also attends St Andrews, recently raved about the young Royal’s performance in the show, which was performed at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews, Fife. The fellow student told The Telegraph: ‘She was really good. The theatre isn’t massive, so it shows quite a lot of dedication that she’s part of it.’ The student newspaper, The Saint, reviewed Dragon Fever, describing it as ‘an ambitious cross between an Agatha Christie mystery and Tolkien’s The Hobbit’, praising Lady Louise’s ‘compelling performance’ in the role of a powerful witch. And it isn’t the only play she and her beau have starred in together. Lady Louise Windsor attends the Memorial Service For The Duke Of Edinburgh at Westminster Abbey The students also both took part in comedy The School for Scandal - again at the Byre Theatre. Promotional material posted on Instagram shows them and their fellow castmembers larking about, pulling faces. One photo shows Mr Da Sila-Clamp, who played the part of Crabtree, gurning while another of Lady Louise, who played Sir Oliver Surface, with her hand over her mouth in mock surprise. The photo stated the young Royal’s name as Louise Windsor and carried a teaser for her part, stating: ‘When you have multiple personalities’.

The No. 5 ranked Indiana Hoosiers are taking on the No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in a highly anticipated Big Ten matchup. This game has major implications for the Big Ten championship and the College Football Playoff. Leading up to the contest, the Hoosiers have received some flack despite having major success with first-year head coach Curt Cignetti leading the way. Although Indiana holds a 10-0 record for the first time in program history, the team has been criticized for its lack of schedule difficulty. Saturday's contest against the Buckeyes is easily the biggest game on Indiana's schedule this season. Indiana has no wins against teams ranked in the Top 10 this season, as they haven't played any teams ranked that high whatsoever. With the game officially underway, many took notice of a mishap that took place during the coin toss before kickoff. The lead official for the Indiana-Ohio State game accidentally called the Hoosiers "Illinois" when identifying the two teams on the mic, according to Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated. Well, we have our first Hoosier Disrespect of the day. Head referee brings teams together for coin toss and identifies them as Ohio State and Illinois. Between the schedule scrutiny and the coin toss mishap, sports fans couldn't help but react to the disrespect Cignetti and the Hoosiers are receiving late in the season. They hopped on social media to share their takes on the coin toss blunder on Saturday. "Lord, what a way to start," said one fan . Another fan claimed , "That's intentional." "Indiana: Nobody respects us. Ref: Sure we do, welcome Illinois," joked one individual . An Illinois fan stated , "We're sending 2007 Illini vibes to the Hoosiers today." "Indiana is the Rodney Dangerfield of college football. No respect!!" Admitted another user . © Nick King/Lansing State Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Indiana didn't let the coin toss fiasco bother them though, as they jumped to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. The Hoosiers defense stepped up on the first drive of the game forcing Ohio State to punt. Cignetti's team then drove the field and scored the first touchdown of the game from running back Ty Son Lawton. Before kickoff, Jess Sims of ESPN asked Cignetti about the criticism surrounding his program due to the schedule. The 63-year-old head coach delivered a fiery response, stating, "There's a narrative out there, that's created another chip for us, people can stick that narrative up their you know what." A win over Ohio State would give Indiana an 11-0 record on the season, which would be the best single season record in program history. The final game on the schedule is against the Purdue Boilermakers. If they win out, the Hoosiers would be in line to take on the Oregon Ducks in the Big Ten Championship Game. Related: Pat McAfee Got Booed by Ohio State Fans Over Indiana HypotheticalNEW YORK (AP) — An early rebound for U.S. stocks on Thursday petered out by the end of the day, leaving indexes close to flat. The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% following Wednesday’s tumble of 2.9% when the Federal Reserve said it may deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than earlier thought. The index had been up as much as 1.1% in the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 15 points, or less than 0.1%, following Wednesday’s drop of 1,123 points, while the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%. This week’s struggles have taken some of the enthusiasm out of the market, which critics had been warning was overly buoyant and would need everything to go correctly for it to justify its high prices. But indexes remain near their records , and the S&P 500 is still on track for one of its best years of the millennium with a gain of 23%. Traders are now expecting the Federal Reserve to deliver just one or maybe two cuts to interest rates next year, according to data from CME Group. Some are even betting on none. A month ago, the majority saw at least two cuts in 2025 as a safe bet. Wall Street loves lower interest rates because they give the economy a boost and goose prices for investments, but they can also provide fuel for inflation. Micron Technology was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500 Thursday. It fell 16.2% despite reporting stronger profit for the latest quarter than expected. The computer memory company’s revenue fell short of Wall Street’s forecasts, and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said it expects demand from consumers to remain weaker in the near term. It gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that fell well short of what analysts were thinking. Lamb Weston, which makes French fries and other potato products, dropped 20.1% after falling short of analysts’ expectations for profit and revenue in the latest quarter. It also cut its financial targets for the fiscal year, saying demand for frozen potatoes is continuing to soften, particularly outside North America. The company replaced its chief executive. Such losses helped overshadow a 14.7% jump for Darden Restaurants, the company behind Olive Garden and other chains. It delivered profit for the latest quarter that edged past analysts’ expectations. The operator of LongHorn Steakhouses also gave a forecast for revenue for this fiscal year that topped analysts’. Accenture rose 7.1% after the professional services company likewise topped expectations for profit in the latest quarter. CEO Julie Sweet said it saw growth around the world, and the company raised its forecast for revenue this fiscal year. Amazon shares added 1.3%, even as workers at seven of its facilities went on strike Thursday in the middle of the online retail giant’s busiest time of the year. Amazon says it doesn’t expect an impact on its operations during what the workers’ union calls the largest strike against the company in U.S. history. In the bond market, yields were mixed a day after shooting higher on expectations that the Fed would deliver fewer cuts to rates in 2025. Reports on the U.S. economy came in mixed. One showed the overall economy grew at a 3.1% annualized rate during the summer, faster than earlier thought. The economy has remained remarkably resilient even though the Fed held its main interest rate at a two-decade high for a while before beginning to cut them in September. A separate report showed fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week, an indication that the job market also remains solid. But a third report said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region is unexpectedly contracting again despite economists’ expectations for growth. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.57% from 4.52% late Wednesday and from less than 4.20% earlier this month. But the two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for action by the Fed in the near term, eased back to 4.31% from 4.35%. The rise in longer-term yields has put pressure on the housing market by keeping mortgage rates higher. Homebuilder Lennar fell 5.2% after reporting weaker profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. CEO Stuart Miller said that “the housing market that appeared to be improving as the Fed cut short-term interest rates, proved to be far more challenging as mortgage rates rose” through the quarter. “Even while demand remained strong, and the chronic supply shortage continued to drive the market, our results were driven by affordability limitations from higher interest rates,” he said. A report on Thursday may have offered some encouragement for the housing industry. It showed a pickup in sales of previously occupied homes. All told, the S&P 500 slipped 5.08 points to 5,867.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 15.37 to 42,342.24, and the Nasdaq composite lost 19.92 to 19,372.77. In stock markets abroad, London’s FTSE 100 fell 1.1% after the Bank of England paused its cuts to rates and kept its main interest rate unchanged on Thursday. The move comes as inflation there moved further above the central bank’s 2% target rate, while the British economy is flatlining at best. The Bank of Japan also kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged, and Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.7%. Indexes likewise sank across much of the rest of Asia and Europe.

PATH India's senior diagnostic lead, Praveen Kandasamy, discussed integrating Covid-19 testing infrastructure into broader pathogen surveillance systems. PATH Senegal experts Saikou Oumar Ba and Papa Sokhna highlighted strategies for maintaining national wastewater information dashboards. Experts in public health and epidemiology convened at Barvinok Village, Uzhgorod Region, Ukraine, to participate in the seminar. This event, aimed at advancing wastewater surveillance as a critical tool for public health, brought together over 60 govt officials from Ukraine, including epidemiologists and laboratory specialists from the regional Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as representatives of the Ukrainian Public Health Centre. The seminar, supported by USAID and PATH Ukraine's ‘Support TB Efforts in Ukraine' project, featured diverse sessions led by renowned facilitators. Key speakers included Gunta Dravniece, project director at PATH Ukraine, and Dr Khairnar. On the second and third days, participants gained practical experience in wastewater surveillance across various Ukrainian regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, Kyiv and Kharkiv. These sessions showcased achievements, challenges, and solutions drawn from regional experiences. The closing session summarised the seminar's outcomes, emphasising the next steps for scaling wastewater surveillance nationwide. With its focus on leveraging wastewater surveillance to monitor pathogens and improve public health responses, the seminar marked a pivotal moment for epidemiological advancements in Ukraine and beyond.
