Mike Carruthers: 本期节目讨论了每日饮水量、昼夜节律以及汽车历史等话题。关于饮水,节目指出每日八杯水的建议已过时,人体所需水分来自多种来源,包括食物。喝水过多会降低肾脏效率。 Lynne Peeples: 节目重点介绍了昼夜节律,即人体每个细胞都具有的生物钟,它协调身体各项功能。昼夜节律受基因和环境因素共同影响,可调节但并非完全可控。长期扰乱昼夜节律可能增加患代谢疾病、痴呆、癌症等疾病的风险。保持良好的昼夜节律卫生,包括光照对比、饮食规律和作息规律。早上晒太阳有助于调节昼夜节律。夜猫子型的人群存在生物学差异,并非单纯的生活习惯选择。工作场所应适应夜猫子型员工的作息习惯,提高生产力。找到适合自身昼夜节律的工作和生活方式,对身心健康有益。扰乱昼夜节律与代谢问题(如糖尿病和肥胖)有关,这与饮食时间有关。尽量避免使用闹钟,自然醒来更有益于健康。了解并利用自身的昼夜节律,优化日常生活和工作效率。大多数人的运动能力在下午或傍晚达到峰值。 Witold Rybczynski: 节目还探讨了汽车历史,卡尔·本茨发明了第一辆内燃机汽车,贝尔塔·本茨是第一位长途驾驶汽车的人。早期的汽车设计借鉴了马车的设计理念和技术。早期的汽车先驱者大多是赛车爱好者。欧洲汽车的设计主要由工程师主导,而美国汽车的设计则更多地由技工主导。汽车的设计最终取决于消费者喜好。美国和欧洲汽车的车型更新速度不同。欧洲汽车更小,与汽油价格和道路状况有关,但并非唯一原因。美国和欧洲对汽车征税的方式不同,影响了汽车的设计和尺寸。美国和欧洲的道路状况不同,也影响了汽车的设计。电动汽车的出现是汽车发展史上的一个重大变革,其数字化特征将带来更多改变。 Mike Carruthers: 本节目还讨论了让宠物吃素食或纯素食的健康问题,指出这对于猫来说是致命的,而狗也需要额外的营养补充。

“You should drink at least 8 glasses of water per day!” Well, wait a second. That advice is about 80 years old and frankly doesn’t really “hold water.” This episode begins by explaining how much water you really should drink and how some people might actually be drinking too much. )https://www.tuftsmedicine.org/about-us/news/medical-myths-drink-8-glasses-water-each-day)

Every cell in your body apparently has a little clock built into it. These clocks know when you should sleep, when you should get up, when you do your best work and more. The whole system is called you circadian rhythms and you are about to take an interesting journey into how they work so that you can understand your personal circadian rhythms and how to optimize them. Here to explain it is Lynne Peeples. She is science journalist and former staff reporter at The Huffington Post. Her work has appeared in The Guardian, Scientific American, Nature and other publications. Lynne is also author of the book, The Inner Clock: Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms (https://amzn.to/3XJWcWx))

Do you know who built the first internal combustion engine-powered car? And when? Have you ever wondered why American cars look so different (and bigger) than most European cars? Whatever happened to the station wagon? Here to explore these questions and explain some of the amazing history of the automobile is Witold Rybczynski. He is an architect and emeritus professor of urbanism at the University of Pennsylvania. He has written 21 books with his latest being The Driving Machine: A Design History of the Car (https://amzn.to/3BlWCuN).)

Can dogs or cats be vegetarian or even vegan? It is a growing trend but is it the right thing to do as a pet owner? This episode begins with some thoughts on this. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-07/can-your-pet-become-vegan/10969616)
