Can sex make us smarter? In news set to elicit shrieks of sheer elation, the latest research shows that it just might. At the very least in mice. Psychologists from the University of Maryland found that sex enhances the number of neurons in the part of the brain associated with memory and learning. Whether the rodents used in the study had sex once or many times, their brain cells multiplied. Additionally, when they had sex regularly over time, "cognitive function was improved", the paper's authors said in April. The caveat here is that to preserve the perks, you have to persevere. The researchers found that, despite the generation of new neurons (cells that transmit information throughout the body), the cognitive benefits were lost when the rats stopped having sex for prolonged periods.  The findings, taken together, revealed that sex can stimulate and restore cognitive function, t...

Nuts have gotten a bad rap for being too high in fat, but the truth about them is that nuts, especially walnuts, are a powerhouse of nutrition. Contrary to what people believe, walnuts are actually good for weight management since an ounce of walnut contains 2.5g of omega 3 fats, 4g of protein and 2g of fibre that help provide satiety, Diabetic Living India magazine reported. Any successful weight management plan must include the satiety factor; so walnut is undoubtedly the right food to consider if you are into a weight management programme. Despite being ‘dense in calories, walnuts can be an important tool in helping you lose weight. These nuts can also reduce the risk of breast cancer. Eating about 28 walnut halves a day provides antioxidants and phytosterols that may help reduce the risk of the disease. The nuts can improve sleep, as they contain hormone melatonin, that induces sleep and helps regulate sleep. Th...

And while it's not serious — SAD — which makes you feel moody, can ruin your social calendar as you feel withdrawn.

India enter the five-match ODI series against New Zealand at Napier on Sunday with their No.1 spot in the team rankings at stake. India are leading the table with 120 ratings points, and enter the series leading eighth-ranked New Zealand by 36 ratings points. If India do not win the series, they will lose the No.1 rank and as many as six ratings points. India have been at the top since January 2013, when they replaced England. For New Zealand, a series win against India by any margin will mean that they will push up a place to seventh, ahead of the West Indies. A series loss for New Zealand, however, will not make any difference to their position on the rankings table. If India do not manage to win the series, either Australia or England could stake a claim on the number-one rank. Australia and England are currently playing a five-match series, with the home team leading 1-0. India's Virat Kohli will start the series in New Zealand as the highest-ranked bats...
