Study science tip #2  👽

Space it out.

A relatively new learning technique called “spaced repetition” involves breaking up information into small chunks and reviewing them consistently over a long period of time. So don’t try to memorize the entire periodic table in one sitting—instead, learn a few rows every day and review each lesson before starting anything new.

Study tip 👽

Study when sleepy. 

Bedtime stories are for wimps. Instead of reading The Berenstein Bears, try studying for a few minutes right before hitting the hay. During sleep, the brain strengthens new memories, so there’s a good chance we’ll remember whatever we review right before dozing off . (Just try not to bring work into the actual bed, since it can make it harder to get a good night’s sleep.) And though bedtime is primo study time, it might also help to crack open the books after cracking open those eyes in the A.M.—in the morning, the brain still has lots of room to absorb new information.

Yep, Your Standing Desk Really Is Worth It  👽

Replacing sitting with either standing or walking for a couple of hours a day might do wonders for your health, according to a new study published in the European Heart Journal last week.

Researchers with the University of Queensland in Australia had 782 men and women give blood samples and then wear activity trackers 24 hours a day for seven days. Each tracker looked at how much time participants spent stepping, sitting, standing, sleeping and lying down, allowing the researchers to come up with mean values for health measures among the group.

Then, the researchers used mathematical modeling to estimate how each person's health would be improved if two hours of sitting was replaced with either two hours of standing or two hours of walking. They found that spending just two extra hours standing during the day was linked with a two percent lower average blood sugar level and 11 percent lower triglyceride level.

What's more, two hours of walking instead of sitting was linked to an 11 percent lower body mass index and a reduced weight circumference by an average of 7 centimeters.

While the sample was small and the results are theoretical, they do point to the value of further research.  

"This has important public health implications given that standing is a common behavior [and] the most common alternative to sitting," lead researcher Genevieve Healy wrote.

A great deal of previous research has confirmed the perils of sitting. Too much time spent sitting has been linked with higher diabetes, heart disease, obesity and depression risk.

Seems like a good time to try out that standing desk -- and go for a walk in place of a seated lunch or meeting.
