    Habitual Alcohol Consumption Damages Brain Health

    Even in amounts considered 'moderate', habitual alcohol consumption regularly damages gray matter, disrupts restorative sleep, and accelerates cognitive decline. Experts warn that alcohol's social normalization can have silent but profound consequences on the brain over time. It affects brain cells, pathways, and volume, disrupts sleep cycles, and compromises vascular health. The safest amount of alcohol for brain health is probably none, especially for those with risk factors.

    Coffee's Effect on Sweating in Hot Weather

    Dr. Darja Haykina, an endocrinologist and nutritionist, explained why coffee consumption can lead to increased sweating even on hot days. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, speeds up heart rate, and activates blood circulation, causing the body to produce more heat. This triggers a natural cooling mechanism, resulting in more sweating. Additionally, caffeine affects the hormonal background, increasing adrenaline levels, which can exacerbate the feeling of overheating. Coffee also has a diuretic effect, potentially increasing the risk of dehydration if not properly hydrated.

    Iraq's Financial Crisis: Liquidity Shortage Threatens Salaries

    Iraq is grappling with a severe liquidity crisis due to a sharp decline in oil revenues, primarily caused by geopolitical developments in the Strait of Hormuz. The government has acknowledged struggling to pay salaries, with monthly commitments exceeding 10 trillion dinars while oil revenues have fallen to around 2 trillion dinars. The crisis has led to delays in medicine procurement and infrastructure maintenance in the health sector. Economists describe the situation as a temporary liquidity crisis, while others view it as a sign of long-term financial hardship. The government is exploring internal solutions and borrowing to mitigate the crisis and ensure salary payments.
