Solutions in technology and science to help us survive, feel better and stay sane are ubiquitous. The progress is fascinating to follow. Each day I explore new studies, new approaches, new ideas leading towards desired solutions.
Interestingly, we appear to go back to basics; natural, simple and cost effective solutions. For example, "exercise is a magic drug for many people with depression and anxiety disorders, and it should be more widely prescribed by mental health care providers, according to researchers who analyzed the results of numerous published studies". This was highlighted by the SMU Research recently.
In addition, cost effective and simplistic solutions are attracting our attentions. It is great to know that researchers in Penn State University developed a low-cost behavioral assessment that can clue someone in to Alzheimer's disease at its earliest stage. More information could be obtained from this link.
I'd be interested to obtain your views and examples of basic, natural, simple, inexpensive yet efficient solutions from your experience that you can comment here.
Mehmet, it is interesting to see what you have been posting on this blog here when I recall your posts about 12-18 months ago. We seemed to be at opposite ends of an opinion. The trend I see here seems to me a more scientific / mathematical approach to "natural living".
ReplyDeleteThis is not surprising given that now over 50% of the world's population live in urban areas.
From a rural perspective, I can't help wondering if somehow we are trying to re-invent the wheel and simulate in an urban environment something which should actually come naturally - as it does in a rural environment.
Could it be that science and technology is reacting to find a cure but not actually looking at the root cause which might be the socio-economic foundation on which this planet is now built?
