In this episode on Quick News I find out the possible link between picking your nose and acquiring Alzheimer's disease. On the Real Deal I find out if Steam saunas, dry saunas, infrared saunas or hot tubs are better for you. Assuming you have deep pockets. And on Far Out Stuff, I discover the benefits of dancing to alleviate depression.

On this episode I explore the need (or not) to make sure we do 10,000 steps a day. Where did it come from and will we all become slobs if we don't?

On the Real Deal I take a look at the importance of climbing trees, especially for our children

and on Far Out Stuff I dig a little deeper into the world of Championship Worm Charming, oh yeah!

This week on Quick News—are you living in one of the happiest cities in the world? Apparently, if you’re not in Copenhagen, Zurich… or—brace yourself—Brighton in the UK… you might want a word with your estate agent.

Yes, Brighton made the list. Proof that happiness is, in fact… relative.

We also head to Finland—officially the happiest country on Earth… Despite six months of darkness, sub-zero temperatures, and people casually saying things like, “Only minus twenty? A lovely day for a stroll!”

Honestly, if that’s fun, I’ve been doing it wrong.

Then on the Real Deal—science steps in to design the perfect day. Six hours with family, two with friends, two hours of exercise… and less than one hour of screen time.

So… already unrealistic by 9:15am.

Or perhaps your perfect day is simpler— a coffee, a walk, a sunset… or, according to one person, golf all day followed by—well—marital enthusiasm.

And finally on Far Out Stuff—TikTok’s latest wellness trend: Brain flossing.

Nope, not dental care for your thoughts— just “8D audio” swirling around your head…

Which sounds suspiciously like… stereo.

Does it relax you or transform your brain? There's omly one way to find out.

Find out in this week’s episode of This Upbeat Life— where we test the trends, question the science… and have a good laugh along the way.

Because happiness shouldn’t be this complicated.
