Drink eight glasses of water a day. Coffee will make you dehydrated. Drinking extra water can help you lose weight. You've probably heard these claims about water and hydration before. But are they true? To set the record straight, Life Kit talks to Tamara Hew-Butler, associate professor of exercise and sports science at Wayne State University; Mindy Millard-Stafford, director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory at Georgia Tech; and Yuki Oka, a professor of biology at Caltech who specializes in thirst. They explain the science of hydration and bust 5 common myths about water.   Myth #1: You need to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Is the advice of drinking eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day to stay hydrated true? Researchers in 2002 tried to pin down studies that might support the claim by looking through multiple scientific databases — but were unable to find rigorous evidence behind it. What we do know, says Hew-Butler, is that water is essential for our bod...

We use our time to race against the clock of productivity—which may be the one thing that holds us back from enjoying the free time we crave. We try to use our time wisely—both at work and in leisure—but we often waste it. We may blame work for stripping us of recreation, but when valuable free time comes around, we can often revert back to more work. What explains the gap between how we use our time and how we want to use our time? A conversation with Harvard Business School professor Ashley Whillans helps us analyze our complex relationship with time and how to orient our time use around what we value.

 A sleep expert answers your questions. A 31-year-old gardener wonders what she should be eating in the day to improve her sleep at night. A little about me: Age: 31 Occupation: gardener Number of hours sleep you get each night: 6 hours Number of hours sleep you wish you got each night: 8-9 hours Any officially diagnosed sleep-related problems: no How much water you drink on average per day: 1 litre (not enough) How much exercise I do on average per week: 1 cardio workout a week, plus the manual labour of my day-to-day job Day 1 I went to bed late last night (around 11.30pm) and I get up late today as a result; my alarm goes off at 5am but I sleep through until 5.40am, and barely have time for a few mouthfuls of coffee before I’m out the door. Thankfully, I manage to stop at Costa on the way for a flat white and a pastry. I get to work around 7am, have a cup of tea, and then get to work. I forgot to pack lunch, so I make do with some biscuits, then carry on until 4pm, drinking tea ...

 iCloud Shared Photo Library, Live Activities, battery icons, and more. Here we go again: Apple’s next big iPhone update, iOS 16.1, is here, bringing a host of tweaks and improvements to the operating just over a month after it launched. Once it hits your iPhone, you’ll be able to peruse Apple’s short list of the new features and changes, including the launch of iCloud Shared Photo Library and Live Activities. However, Apple’s list is far from complete. While the changelog stands around eight features long, there are plenty more to discover. These are 10 new iOS 16.1 features worth knowing about.

 VR hasn't taken over the world, but that doesn't mean it has failed. Six years ago, consumer virtual reality seemed set to be the next major tech breakthrough. With the demonstration of his impressive prototype Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) in 2012, Palmer Luckey managed to instantly erase the poor image VR had garnered from ‘90s movies like The Lawnmower Man and woefully premature commercial curios like Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. This led the Kickstarter campaign for the first Oculus developer kit to balloon past its $250,000 funding goal on the way to a final haul of $2.4 million. Two years later, Oculus accepted a $2 billion buyout offer from Facebook. The lead-up to the 2016 launch of the first consumer version of the Oculus Rift (the CV1) only raised consumer VR’s profile further. Analyst predictions were bullish, going so far as to say that the VR market would be worth $150 billion in just five years. Oculus’ co-founders were breathlessly profiled in glossy magazin...

 High-end Android phones can cost $1,000 or more, but cheaper models can still offer nearly all the features you could want in a phone. After testing half a dozen phones for multiple days, we’ve concluded that the OnePlus Nord N20 5G is the best budget Android phone. It’s fast enough for most people and has a sharp OLED display, a good battery, and even 5G connectivity—a rare feature for a phone that costs just $300. The OnePlus Nord N20 5G is more powerful than Samsung’s budget phones, and its 1080p OLED screen is sharper than those of other phones in this price range, which typically have lower-resolution LCDs with worse contrast. The N20 5G even offers an in-display fingerprint sensor, a rare feature on budget phones. Though it runs Android 11 out of the box, it’s slated to get Android 12, along with three years’ worth of security updates (through spring 2025). However, it doesn’t function on Verizon’s network. The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G has an understated design that won’t turn ...

 The world’s richest man has some embarrassing friends. The world got a look inside Elon Musk’s phone. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO is currently in litigation with Twitter and trying to back out of his deal to buy the platform and take it private. As part of the discovery process related to this lawsuit, Delaware’s Court of Chancery released hundreds of text messages and emails sent to and from Musk. The 151-page redacted document is a remarkable, voyeuristic record of a few months in the life of the world’s richest (and most overexposed) man and a rare unvarnished glimpse into the overlapping worlds of Silicon Valley, media, and politics. The texts are juicy, but not because they are lurid, particularly offensive, or offer up some scandalous Muskian master plan—quite the opposite. What is so illuminating about the Musk messages is just how unimpressive, unimaginative, and sycophantic the powerful men in Musk’s contacts appear to be. Whoever said there are no bad ideas in brainstorming...

Whether you seek spooky chills, jump scares, or creeping dread, we have horror show recommendations to sate your thirst. It used to be that horror on television was tame. It was PG-ish stuff like Scooby-Doo and The Twilight Zone. Good fare, but these shows all held horror at arm's length, like it was a sub-genre or something shameful. Now, with streaming, TV horror shows can be just as creepy and scary as their movie brethren. They've shed some of their sci-fi and mystery armor to be fully grownup, unashamed gore that's perfect for Halloween binging. Below are some of our faves. If you like them, you may also want to check out our lists for the best horror movies or scary Halloween tech. Stranger Things A spiritual successor to many of the shows and movies Gen Xers and Millennials loved growing up, Stranger Things serves horror tropes with a nostalgic glow. The fourth season (the best so far) leans heavily into '80s horror, with the villainous Vecna reaching his fleshy ...

 Antiquity’s perfumed sorceresses still influence ideas about magic today.  Most perfume ads suggest that the right scent can make you sexy, alluring and successful. A blend by Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs, meanwhile, offers to make you smell like Hecate, the three-faced Greek goddess of witchcraft. As a classics scholar who studies both magic and the senses in the ancient world, this idea of a witch-inspired perfume fascinates me—and “Hecate” is just one of many magic-inspired fragrances available today. What does a witch smell like, and why would you deliberately perfume yourself like one? Smells are impossible to see or touch, yet they affect us emotionally and even physically. That’s similar to how many people think of magic, and cultures around the world have connected the two. My current research is focused on how magic and scent were linked in ancient Rome and Greece, ideas that continue to shape views of witches in the West today. Greeks and Romans of all walks of life b...

  Research labs are pursuing technology to “reprogram” aging bodies back to youth. A little over 15 years ago, scientists at Kyoto University in Japan made a remarkable discovery. When they added just four proteins to a skin cell and waited about two weeks, some of the cells underwent an unexpected and astounding transformation: they became young again. They turned into stem cells almost identical to the kind found in a days-old embryo, just beginning life’s journey.  At least in a petri dish, researchers using the procedure can take withered skin cells from a 101-year-old and rewind them so they act as if they’d never aged at all.  Now, after more than a decade of studying and tweaking so-called cellular reprogramming, a number of biotech companies and research labs say they have tantalizing hints the process could be the gateway to an unprecedented new technology for age reversal. By applying limited, controlled doses of the reprogramming proteins to lab animals, the sc...

Recent research contradicts the image of the Egyptian boy-king as a frail, sickly pharaoh Popular lore suggests that Tutankhamun , the boy-king whose immaculate tomb opened a window into the riches of ancient Egypt, was a frail pharaoh. Much of the evidence for this assertion comes from CT scans of his mummy. As archaeologists Zahi Hawass and Sahar Saleem wrote in 2016, “The CT image also revealed a left club foot deformity. … With such a deformity in his left foot, the king would have walked on his ankle or on the side of his foot.” Hawass and Saleem’s assessment came as a surprise to some in the field. After all, Douglas Derry, a skilled anatomist, had examined Tutankhamun’s feet in the 1920s and didn’t notice anything unusual. Neither did R.G. Harrison, who X-rayed Tutankhamun’s mummy in the 1960s. In a 2010 letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association, James Gamble, an orthopedic surgeon at Stanford University, stated that he didn’t see a clubfoot in the CT scans. If T...
