Women Shouldn't Pee in the Shower?
Add this to the list of reasons the world is easier if you're a man: A doctor named Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas is going viral on TikTok after telling women they shouldn't PEE IN THE SHOWER. She specializes in physical therapy for pelvic floor muscles . . . the ones that keep your pee from coming out accidentally. And she says peeing in the shower could eventually lead to LEAKAGE. Or it's one bad habit anyway. Basically, women's bodies aren't designed to pee standing up. And doing it too much trains your pelvic floor muscles to LET you do it. Which you don't want, especially as you get older. Other bad habits include peeing when you don't really need to . . . hovering when you're in a public bathroom . . . and pushing your pee out really hard to go faster. So does that mean guys can pee in the shower and not worry about it? Yes and no. Obviously men pee standing up most of the time. But even for guys, there's a reason to not do it in the shower. It trains your body to associate peeing with running water. If you do it a lot, your brain will start thinking that running water means it's time to go. So you might start feeling the urge to pee when you wash your hands or fill up a glass of water.

Renting Clothes Might Become More Popular Than Buying Them
I have at least 20 things in my closet that I never wear. So maybe this makes sense? A new study at Washington State found Gen Z'ers are much more willing to RENT clothes instead of buy them. They talked to over 350 adults who were around 25 to 30. And they still want their clothes to be fashionable. But they don't necessarily need to OWN them. It's partly about money, but also sustainability. Young people tend to care more about recycling clothes and not wasting resources. When you include everything from shirts to socks, the average person buys 67 new pieces of clothing a year.
The Top Things in a Packed Lunch That Kids Don't Eat
With school starting back up, three out of five parents say they're stressed about having to pack their kids' lunch again. Especially because your kid might not even eat it all anyway. The poll looked at some of the most common things kids leave uneaten at lunch. And yes, vegetables are #1. But we were surprised that kids leave a lot of JUNK FOOD behind too . . . 1. Vegetables. 83% of parents make sure veggies are in there. But it's the part of their lunch that they're least likely to eat. 2. Fruit. 3. The main part of their meal. 4. Salty snacks. 5. Sweet snacks. The poll also found parents spend an average of $390 extra on groceries PER CHILD during the school year.
Monopoly is a board game that almost everyone knows . . . almost no one wants to play . . . and once started, almost never ends. But someone claims to have nailed down the perfect strategy to win . . . and no, it doesn't involve having a hotel on Boardwalk. Here are a few of their suggestions: 1. Always buy everything you can. Seven turns into the game money becomes worthless in comparison to your properties. And always play by the real rules, so if a person chooses NOT to buy, the property is auctioned to the highest bidder. 2. Never buy the cheap purple or brown properties, utilities, or railroads WITH the intent of completing the set . . . instead use them as trades with worse players who think they're good. Railroads in particular are VERY in demand but awful unless you get all four, at which point they're still worse than the light blues. 3. The most valuable properties are the oranges and reds, because that's where most people land after getting out of jail. 4. Get a full set as soon as possible, and put four houses on each, never a hotel. As per the rules, once the houses in the box are gone, nobody can get any more, and therefore nobody can build hotels. So you can cut others off by doing that. No Excuse! A Study Found Our Metabolism Doesn't Slow Down Until We're 60
Most of us pack on a few extra pounds in our 30s and 40s. And we always blame our metabolism, because everyone knows it slows down as you age. But you might NOT be able to use that excuse anymore. A new study came out on Friday that found your metabolism DOESN'T actually slow down that much as you hit middle-age. Researchers found it peaks when we're babies, around age one. Then it gradually slows down until we're around 20. But from 20 to 60, it plateaus and stays pretty consistent. So if you gain a bunch of weight in your 40s or 50s, other factors are at play. Like eating more and being less active.
