Game meer tegen burn-out ! 😀

Tam W. et al. – JMIR Serious Games 2025;13:e84219
Super Mario Bros. and Yoshi Games’ Affordance of Childlike Wonder and Reduced Burnout Risk in Young Adults
Achtergrond
Jonge volwassenen leven in een “always-on” cultuur met weinig ruimte voor echte rust, wat het burn-outrisico verhoogt. Terwijl videospelen al langer gelinkt wordt aan ontspanning en escapisme, was de specifieke rol van populaire, niet-competitieve games zoals Super Mario Bros. en Yoshi nog nauwelijks onderzocht.
Methode
Gemengde methode: 41 diepte-interviews met universiteitsstudenten (gemiddelde leeftijd 22,5 jaar) én een cross-sectionele survey bij 336 spelers van Super Mario Bros. en/of Yoshi.
Resultaten
Deelnemers ervaarden de kleurrijke, speelse wereld van deze games als een terugkeer naar de onbevangenheid van de kindertijd (“kinderwonder”). Kwantitatieve analyse toonde aan dat dit kinderwonder het algeheel geluk significant verhoogde, en dat dit geluk op zijn b***t het burn-outrisico verlaagde. Opvallend: geluk bleek de volledige mediator — het kinderwonder had geen rechtstreeks effect op burn-out, maar uitsluitend via de toename in geluk.
Conclusie
De studie is een van de eerste die kinderwonder identificeert als psychologisch pad dat alledaagse gameplay verbindt met mentaal welzijn.  In tegenstelling tot competitieve games kunnen Super Mario Bros. en Yoshi fungeren als een “digitale tegenovergesteld-omgeving”: voorspelbaar, laagdrempelig en positief, wat veerkracht bevordert. Bij matig gebruik zijn ze dan ook nuttig als klinimatig hulpmiddel, maar bij compulsief spelen kunnen ze contraproductief zijn.

What is not inevitable is the low level of support the U.S. government has directed to collaborative global virus surveillance, new vaccine technologies, and promotion of vaccine uptake.

Food full of plastics …

Based on the article from SuperAge, here is a summary of the seven foods and beverages highest in microplastics and the recommended alternatives to reduce your exposure:
* 1. Tea (Plastic Tea Bags)
* The Issue: Steeping a single plastic tea bag can release approximately 11.6 billion microplastics and 3.1 billion nanoplastics.
* The Swap: Use loose-leaf tea with a stainless steel or glass infuser, or choose brands with plastic-free, biodegradable bags (e.g., Republic of Tea, Yogi Tea).
* 2. Apples and Carrots
* The Issue: Plastics can be absorbed into plant tissues. Apples and carrots have some of the highest concentrations (millions of particles per serving).
* The Swap: Buy unpackaged produce from local sources, wash thoroughly, and peel them when appropriate to reduce surface contamination.
* 3. Rice
* The Issue: Instant (pre-cooked) rice contains 4x more plastic than regular rice. Regular rice also contains plastics from processing and packaging.
* The Swap: Avoid instant rice. Choose bulk or minimally processed varieties and rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking, which can reduce plastic content by 40%.
* 4. Bottled Water
* The Issue: Averages 325 particles per liter, but can reach 10,000. Heat (leaving bottles in the sun) significantly increases plastic leaching.
* The Swap: Drink filtered tap water stored in stainless steel or glass containers.
* 5. Shellfish (Shrimp & Oysters)
* The Issue: As filter feeders, they ingest and accumulate plastics from the ocean.
* The Swap: Diversify your protein with plant-based options or wild-caught fish from regions with lower measured contamination (e.g., Australia).
* 6. Beer
* The Issue: Contamination enters through water sources and the industrial brewing process.
* The Swap: Support local breweries that use filtered water and sustainable practices, and moderate intake.
* 7. Sea Salt
* The Issue: Derived from contaminated ocean water; traditionally harvested salts often contain high levels of PET (bottle plastic).
* The Swap: Use mined rock salt or Himalayan pink salt, which are generally less exposed to modern ocean pollutants.
