C More than a year into the pandemic of Covid-19, many people have grown used to a new lock-down lifestyle:keeping indoors,exercising less and eating more. “All of these contribute to worsening gut(消化道） function,says Christopher Andrews,the lead physician at the Calgary Gut Motility Center, adding
18、 that heartburn is on the rise. Heartburn is the painful effect of the stomachs acid creeping into the esophagus （食管） 。 Diet is the greatest contributor: acidic foods such as grapefruits, hot sauce or coffee increase the amount of acid in your stomach, while chocolate, alcohol and high-fat foods res

Spicy food can also increase uncomfortable feelings in the gut. Heartburn occurs in bodies of all sizes, ages and genders, but researchers have found that overwe
20、ight (超重 的） people are two to three times more likely to experience frequent heartburn than those with a healthy weight. This may be because of the increased pressure on the gut,which can push stomach acid up. Changes in diet, such as the recent tendency for people to turn to comfort food in lock-do
21、wn, can also lead to the problem. Occasional heartburn isnt a problem, but experiences of frequent indigestion should push you to live a healthier life. According to a recent study of 9,000 heartburn patients, following a five-step health plan-maintaining a proper body weight, eating well, exercisin

26、research that suggests solitude(孤独） isnt a red flag for depression. Most studies have confused solitude with loneliness or shyness, said Margarita Azmitia, lead researcher of the study. “There is a misunderstanding for kids who spend time alone. Theyre considered lacking in basic 6 social skills, or
27、 called loners,” she said. “Its beneficial to know when you need to be alone and when you need to be with others. The key factor is choice.” When teens and young adults choose to spend time alone, solitude can prove an opportunity for self-reflection, creative expression, or spiritual renewal. It ca
28、n be challenging when solitude is imposed on them-when they choose to avoid social activities because they lack friends, feel awkward, experience social anxiety, or are being punished. To tell the difference between these motivations,Azmitia developed a survey that asked people to rate their motivat
29、ions for solitude on a four-point scale, presenting questions like, “I feel energetic when I spend time by myself,” and “I enjoy the quiet,” versus “I feel uncomfortable when Im with others,” and “I regret things I say or do when Im with others.

The lag in gesture am
42、ong twins may be mostly due to lower parental input, Ozcaliskan said. Its likely that parents caring for twins engage in shorter conversations with their children, including gesturing less, because their attention is divided and their labor is doubled.However, parents of single children used a great
43、er amount and diversity of gestures than parents of twins. Ozcaliskan said she had grown curious about gesture because it had not yet been studied among twins. We have already known that twins are initially at a disadvantage where language is concerned. Most of the time, these lags are within the no
44、rmal range of differences, and nothing to worry about.Almost all children will catch up to each other by around age three and a half. “However,there was almost nothing in research on gesturing among twins, Ozcaliskan said. Babies start using pointing around 10 months, a few months before they produc
45、e their first words. Gesture helps them convey what they cant yet communicate in speech and prepares the way for childrens early words. Twins sometimes develop their own systems of communication, even their own “twin language, which has also been shown to delay language acquisition. “Perhaps it also
