    Limiting Meal Hours May Improve Cognitive Function in Older Adults

    A pilot study presented at NUTRITION 2026 found that older women who restricted their eating window to less than nine hours a day showed modest improvements in spatial planning and problem-solving compared to those who maintained a habitual period of approximately 12 hours. The study included 47 women between the ages of 50 and 79 with overweight or obesity, who were instructed to reduce their daily energy intake by 500 calories. Both groups lost a similar amount of weight after six months. The women who limited their meal hours also showed a trend to make fewer errors in tests related to memory and learning. The results suggest possible additional benefits when a person stops eating four hours before sleeping and concentrates food intake in a period of between eight and nine hours daily.

    Private Schools in Britain Closing Due to Government Tax Policies

    Private schools in Britain are closing en masse due to the government's decision to impose VAT on tuition fees and remove business rate relief. St Joseph's College in Reading, which survived two world wars, the Great Depression, and a pandemic, is among those that will not reopen after the summer holidays. The government had promised these policies would not lead to such consequences. School boards are exploring mergers, asset sales, and cost cuts to survive, but many girls' schools and historic institutions are already closing or transforming. The government initially predicted 14,000 students would leave private schools this summer, but the number may exceed 30,000.

    Mirror Test Reveals Destructive Inner Dialogue

    Spanish psychiatrist Fernando Mora highlights the destructive nature of persistent inner dialogue, as shown by the 'mirror test' exercise. The University of Lethbridge's systematic review supports this, linking evaluative and critical inner dialogue to rumination, low self-esteem, and unclear self-image. Mora suggests the mirror technique to increase self-awareness and acceptance-based approaches for mitigation.

The Central Government provides financial assistance to States/UTs under Samagra Shiksha to maintain appropriate PTR, but recruitment and deployment of teachers remain the responsibility of state governments.
