While milk may help relieve some cases of heartburn, it doesn’t work for everyone. Milk contains calcium, which can temporarily neutralize stomach acid and may provide quick relief from heartburn symptoms. Calcium carbonate, a common form of calcium, is the main ingredient in many over-the-counter antacids. Milk may coat your esophagus, creating a protective layer between the sensitive esophageal lining and the acidic contents from your stomach. The cool temperature of cold milk may also soothe the burning sensation you feel in your throat and chest.  Some research suggests that getting more protein in your diet, such as from a…

Whether it’s music, text, code or imagery, the time when it was reliably possible to tell the difference between AI and human outputs is disappearing at an alarming rate.Yet for all their wizardry, AIs can also be quite useless. They make things up and misunderstand instructions. They are brilliant as toys but incompetent as assistants. All this makes it hard to know how to put AI into perspective. Is it the most important technological trend since the iPhone? Or since the industrial revolution? At this distance, it’s hard to say.There are industry…

Researchers are investigating the potential benefits of berberine in promoting weight loss, supporting healthy blood sugar levels, and lowering cholesterol levels. This is what the latest research shows. Research suggests that berberine can help reduce weight by increasing the brown adipose tissue (BAT). This tissue helps your body burn calories for energy, which could help support a calorie deficit (burning more calories than you consume). Berberine helps regulate gut hormones, which may support weight loss and treat insulin resistance. Studies suggest taking about 500 milligrams of berberine daily may help balance the diversity of gut microbes. Several studies suggest that berberine…

Milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that helps your body make serotonin and melatonin — two hormones involved in sleep regulation. While the amount in milk is modest, it can gently encourage drowsiness in some people. The calcium in milk helps the brain convert tryptophan into melatonin, which may promote better sleep onset and quality over time. Warm milk, in particular, can act as a comfort cue,…
