Walnuts Could Help Students with Stress, Says Study

University isn't all sleeping, parties, and video games — many students find it a stressful time, with exams and the beginning of adult life.

But a recent study has suggested that there's a food that could help with some of that stress — walnuts.

Walnuts are known to be a healthy snack. They contain healthy fats and proteins, which are good for the body and the mind.

They may not be the most exciting food for young adults to snack on in a world of pizza and burgers, but they could have a positive effect both on academic stress and on the health of the body.

That's according to researchers from the University of South Australia, who had 80 students take part in their study.

One group of students was asked to eat about half a cup of walnuts every day for 16 weeks. They could eat them as a snack or add them to meals at any time of the day.

The other participants were told not to eat nuts for those 16 weeks.

The researchers found that academic stress was having a negative effect on student's mental health, on the amount of protein in their bodies, and — in female participants — on the diversity of bacteria in their guts.

But these things all improved among those who had been eating walnuts.

Larisa Bobrovskaya, one of the study's authors, said not only are walnuts good for students, they're an easy thing to add to lots of different meals.

However, she also said just having something extra to eat might have made the students feel better, so more research is needed.

Popular English Idioms about Delegating like “Race Against the Clock”

Staying safe online is important. But a lot of us are making mistakes with the passwords we use for our different accounts.

Password manager company Bitwarden found that a quarter of people use the same password for at least 11 sites or apps. And more than one-third of us use personal information in our passwords.

Personal information isn't a good idea to use, because it's quite easy for others to find it out.

But here's something else that isn't a good idea: using the name of your favorite celebrity, band, singer or superhero!

A company called Mailsuite has been looking at the most dangerous pop culture passwords you can use online.

Mailsuite made a list of more than 2,600 pop culture terms and almost 64,000 different ways of writing them.

It then looked at something called the Pwned Passwords database, which gives information about hundreds of millions of passwords that have been exposed in online data breaches.

The pop culture password that came up most was "Superman." It appeared in almost 585,000 data breaches.

In second place was the US band Blink-182. Used as a password, it appeared in more than 482,000 data breaches.

"Batman," "Star Wars" and "Eminem" were also in the top five.

Bitwarden says you should choose a long password that includes letters, numbers and symbols.

You should also have a different password for each app you use. Sites like Bitwarden also let you check how strong a password is before you choose it.
