Let’s Talk About Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

Nazzy Nazzy October 8, 2018

In one way or another, we have all been affected by cancer. That's why NH1.com and our affiliated radio stations are proud to be New Hampshire's official media sponsor of the American Cancer Society. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All month long, people will be wearing pink to show their support for those affected by breast cancer. Survivors, friends, family and allies will also be rallying to raise awareness and money at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks throughout the state. Nazzy and Tara from "The Morning Wake Up" on 98.3 LNH welcome Chelsea Paradore, Senior Community Development Manager for the American Cancer Society, to talk about how we can get involved with these walks and help the fight to defeat breast cancer.

Fountain of Youth: How Going to Concerts Can Add Years to Your Life

Tara Madison Tara Madison October 4, 2018

Your favorite band is coming to town and you are stoked! You know every word to every song on every album and you sing them so loudly without a care in the world. That makes you happy, right? Yes, of course it does. Listening to your favorite music, especially live in concert, is good for your well-being. It's better for you than 20 minutes of yoga, or even walking your dog, according to a study conducted by researchers at Goldsmiths, University of London. In fact, it could add years to your life. Researchers gave 60 participants a psychometric test before performing one of three activities: Going to a music concert, taking a yoga class and walking their dog. They found that those who went to the concert had a 21 percent boost in mood, while those who took a yoga class only saw a 10 percent increase. Those who walked their dogs only had a rise of 7 in happiness. "Our research showcases the profound impact gigs have on feelings of health, happiness and well-being – with fortnightly or regular attendance being the key," said Patrick Fagan, an expert in behavioral science and associate lecturer at Goldsmith’s University in London. It seems silly to even have an actual study to find a link between listening to music and happiness. There have been many, including a couple in 2011 that were published in Nature Neuroscience and Psychology Today. The studies found that listening to music increased dopamine levels — a chemical that enhances mood. Need to add years to your life?

Are Halloween Ice Cream Flavors of Blood Pudding and Chocolate Covered Crickets a Little Much?

Tara Madison Tara Madison October 3, 2018

If you love ice cream, you likely get all sorts of excited when a company comes out with a new flavor. Even if it's just vanilla mixed with something equally yummy. I thought when Jimmy Fallon hosted "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and Ben & Jerry's came out with "Late Night Snack", featuring potato chip clusters, was a huge stretch. I have to say, though, I was pretty impressed. Well, just in time for Halloween, an ice cream chain on the west coast called Salt & Straw just created two new ice cream flavors. One that's made with BLOOD...and one that's made with INSECTS. The Dracula Blood Pudding flavor offers actual pig's blood with a "hint of chicken liver" mixed in with a spiced ice cream. Credit SaltandStraw.com The insect flavor uses chocolate-covered crickets and mealworms mixed into a green tea ice cream. DELICIOUS, am I right??? Credit SaltandStraw.com If you're dying to get your hands on these spooktacular pints, you'll have to wait until Friday. Not headed to the west coast? You're in luck; they deliver!

Michelle Williams to Play Christa McAuliffe In New Movie Called ‘The Challenger’

Tara Madison Tara Madison October 3, 2018

January 28, 1986, a day that, if you were alive, you will never forget. Almost 33 years ago, millions of people across the Nation watched as Space Shuttle "Challenger" exploded 73 seconds after launching from Cape Canaveral, killing all seven on board. Christa McAuliffe was a social studies teacher at Concord High who was selected to join NASA’s Teacher in Space Project, and had been planning to conduct experiments and teach lessons from the Space Shuttle Challenger. McAuliffe spent a year training for the flight, becoming a national media favorite in the process thanks in large part to her enthusiasm for spaceflight and learning of all persuasions. A new movie named 'The Challenger' is in the works centered around the life of McAuliffe and it's been confirmed that Michelle Williams has won the part to play the beloved teacher. Williams has been nominated for Academy Awards for "Brokeback Mountain," "Blue Valentine," "My Week With Marilyn,” and “Manchester by the Sea.” She recently starred in “All the Money in the World,” “I Feel Pretty,” and will be in this weekend's superhero movie, "Venom." Production is expected to start in May. McAuliffe's lessons are not lost, as astronauts are still using her experiments today. She recorded her exercises prior to launch as a tool for teachers to use in the classroom while she was in space.
