The idea
The Mediterranean diet is associated with lower cardiovascular disease and premature death, and yoga lowers resting heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol.

Food deserts, low-access areas, and food swamps, dense with fast food, shaping what a neighbourhood can eat.
Where people slip
Sleep consolidates memory and clears waste from the brain; short sleep goes with accidents, weight gain and weaker immunity.
