| 'Travel therapy': Could holidays help mental health and wellbeing? Posted: 23 Jun 2022 06:12 AM PDT Many of us will have likely heard of music therapy and art therapy -- but what about 'travel therapy'?

| Attitudes around older motherhood too often emphasize risk and pregnancy timing Posted: 22 Jun 2022 11:18 AM PDT A political science professor argues that much of the official language around older motherhood is rooted in both ageism and ableism, as well as being out of step with current childbirth trends. The average age of childbirth has been rising steadily since the mid-1960s, and in some countries, more women are giving birth between the ages of 35 to 39 than between 20 and 24. But societal expectations of mothers remain largely unchanged. |

| Human cells take in less protein from a plant-based 'meat' than from chicken Posted: 22 Jun 2022 07:13 AM PDT Many people have now embraced the plant-based 'meat' movement. Plants high in protein, such as soybeans, are common ingredients, but it's been unclear how much of the nutrient makes it into human cells. Researchers now report that proteins in a model plant-based substitute were not as accessible to cells as those from meat. The team says this knowledge could eventually be used to develop more healthful products. |
