Practical Optimism: A Learnable Path to Thriving Beyond Adversity

Dr. Sue Varma’s concept of practical optimism is a learnable, eight-pillared framework for thriving through stress and adversity. It blends realism with action, distinguishing itself from toxic positivity and resilience by focusing on purposeful intention, emotional processing, problem-solving, self-compassion, proficiency, presence, relationships, and healthy habits. Backed by research showing optimism links to lower cardiovascular risk, longer life, and better cognitive health, the approach provides concrete steps and daily practices (including a 10-minute focused routine and four-step emotion work) to cultivate a more optimistic outlook, with 75% of optimism being learned and doable for anyone.

Takeout Tipping: Not Required, But Appreciated by Some

Americans aren’t typically required to tip for takeout, but tips are appreciated, especially for curbside pickup or large orders. Experts say a 10% tip is reasonable for takeout services, while the 15–20% standard for dine-in isn’t mandatory. Factors like extra packaging work, order checks, and dietary accommodations justify tipping. If you pick up in person, a tip to the preparer is a kind gesture. Online tipping prompts can pressure customers, and some diners skip ordering due to tip expectations, per a Tillster report.

Five nutrition moves to support thyroid health before World Thyroid Day 2026

Dr. Ramesh Kinha outlines five nutrition-based strategies to protect thyroid health ahead of World Thyroid Day (May 25, 2026): follow a Mediterranean (and Paleo-style unprocessed) diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and lean proteins while limiting large amounts of raw cruciferous vegetables; ensure iodine intake through iodised salt and foods like seaweed, dairy, seafood and eggs with caution for autoimmune thyroid disease; include selenium-rich foods (tuna, eggs, Brazil nuts, legumes, sardines, oats) in moderation to protect the thyroid from oxidative stress; optimize zinc intake (pumpkin seeds, oysters, nuts, lentils) with moderation; boost vitamins D and B12 and minerals iron and magnesium from sunlight, animal products and plant foods, pairing citrus with iron to improve absorption. Also avoid ultra-processed foods; for hyperthyroidism, moderate iodine, caffeine, soy and gluten as advised; combine good nutrition with regular exercise, sufficient sleep and stress management for better thyroid health.

Income stacking emerges as lifeline for cost-of-living squeeze

Facing soaring bills, Britons are increasingly building multiple income streams—second jobs, online gigs, and passive earnings like renting space—to cushion costs. The trend, notable among women in low-paid work, includes so‑called polygamous or over‑employment, with about 1.35 million UK adults already juggling two jobs. But burnout is a real risk as people balance full‑time work with side hustles and passive ventures.

Small daily changes can cut cancer risk, says oncologist

Dr. Ruchir Tandon says about 40% of cancers are preventable and that everyday habits— quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, eating fiber-rich vegetables and olive oil, limiting processed meats and alcohol, protecting the skin, and prioritizing sleep—collectively reduce cancer risk. He notes small, sustained lifestyle changes compound over time, and pairing these with age-appropriate cancer screening can significantly shift the odds in favour of prevention.

Trump’s Onstage Dance Is a Deliberate Power Signal, Experts Say

Body-language experts say Trump’s signature onstage dance is less about artistry and more about signaling power and rallying his followers: a repetitive, on-brand routine featuring clenched fists to convey dominance and aggression, minimal foot movement, and a tense facial expression. The simple, easy-to-mimic gestures also function as crowd signaling, encouraging supporters to imitate him and reinforcing his leadership image.
