[ad_1] ROME: Italian health officials intensified heat warnings Monday as southern Europe began a brutally hot week with temperatures expected to top 40 Celsius - or 104 Fahrenheit - on a continent already sizzling under the sun and overburdened by tourists. The health ministry urged regions to beef up house-call services so older people don't have to go out if they need medical care and to set up dedicated heat stations at hospitals to treat emergency cases. The ministry also issued 10 recommendations to protect elderly people, the sick and pets from the heat, urging people to stay indoors during the hottest hours, drink at least 1.5 liters (nearly half a gallon) of water a day and refrain from strenuous exercise at peak daylight times. Local celebrities went on state-run RAI television to read the recommendations aloud, in hopes of spreading the message. The culprit is a high-pressure anticyclone dubbed Cerberus - the multi-headed dog that guards gates to the underworld

[ad_1] Researchers from the University of Southern California showed that a brief breathing session -- inhaling for a count of five, then exhaling for a count of five for 20 minutes twice a day for four weeks can have significant impacts. Volunteers` heart rate variability increased during each exercise period and the levels of amyloid-beta peptides circulating in their blood decreased over the four weeks of the experiment. Accumulation of amyloid beta in the brain due to increased production and/or decreased clearance is believed to trigger the Alzheimer`s disease process. The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, maybe the first to discover a way that adults, both young and old, can reduce their amyloid beta levels: via breathing exercises that lower the levels in our blood of these peptides associated with Alzheimer`s disease, the team said. It is because the way we breathe affects our heart rate, which in turn affects our nervous system and the way our

[ad_1] 'The Godfather' filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola responded to Diane Keaton query Diane Keaton sought to clear her curiosity when she asked Francis Ford Coppola why he took her in The Godfather. After over a half-century of epic trilogy release, the actor shared the innocuous question on Instagram. “Why on Earth did you choose me for ‘The Godfather’?!, she asked. The auteur responded, “I chose you because although you were to play the more straight/vanilla wife, there was something about you, deeper, funnier, and very interesting. (I was right).” Coppola revealed that her inspiring performance in the musical Hair led him to bag her for the film. “I was invited by Fred Astaire to accompany him to see ‘Hair’ which he couldn’t make ‘hide nor hair’ out of,” Coppola wrote. “You were in it, and I remember your beautiful singing voice.” Earlier, Keaton also opened up about the unimpressed performance of the series' third instalment at the box office. “When I saw it wa
