Have you ever had a moment where you forgot what day it was or you thought it was another day than it really is?
How does gravity influence everyday health problems like back pain and heart disease?
Well, it happens to everybody. And I'll tell you why. Hi, I'm Mike Carruthers and welcome to Something You Should Know. Even though we're all familiar with the seven days of the week, we attribute different meanings to each of those days, and some of those meanings are stronger than others. Psychologists asked a group of people to associate words with different days of the week. They found that Monday and Friday had the most meaning to people, but the days in the middle of the week were a bit of a blur. Participants mainly associated Monday with words like boring, hectic, and tired, while Fridays were linked with more positive words, including party and freedom. Almost 40% of the participants confused the current day of the week with the preceding or the following day, and most of those mistakes occurred during the middle of the week.
And 50% of people got the current day wrong when they were asked during a week that had a holiday in it. It also turns out that there are more songs about Mondays and Fridays than any other days of the week, which may also contribute to a stronger association with those two days. And that is something you should know. There is a powerful force acting on you right now. It never lets up. It shapes your body, your mind, even your mood. And yet you almost never think about it. That force is gravity. And scientists are now discovering its surprising effects on our health, both physical and mental. Things like back pain and knee pain, often the result, at least in part, from gravity.
