Today on Something You Should Know, what's the dirtiest thing you come into contact with every day? I'm sure it's close to you right now. Then, the importance of coping well with the little hassles in life.
It was, I think, Muhammad Ali who had said, it's not the mountains that wear us out, it's the pebbles in our shoe. And there's a lot of evidence that having many hassles in your everyday life really can take an even bigger toll on our health than major life events.
Also, can being happy improve your health? Sort of. And what is American cuisine? It's kind of hard to define.
However... There are some things that Americans like that few other people do, like peanut butter or maple syrup. You know, this is not a popular item in the rest of the world.
All this today on Something You Should Know. How much do you spend on wireless service? What's your monthly bill?

Hi, welcome to Something You Should Know. I'm not a real big germaphobe, but when I first came across this first story I'm about to tell you about, I just, I ran to a sink and washed my hands. You know, even though we're becoming more conscious of germs and the need to clean and disinfect things, one thing many of us are not especially careful about is our cell phones. Various studies have been published with headlines like, Your cell phone has more germs on it than a toilet seat. Which is likely true. But of course, not all germs are harmful. Still, when you think about it, your phone has a lot of opportunity to pick up germs and bacteria because... You take it everywhere, you put it down in all kinds of places on all kinds of surfaces, so it's exposed to a lot of germs that can hitch a ride. There was a video put out a while ago that showed that, for example, a toilet seat has about 1,200 bacteria per square inch, a kitchen counter has about 1,700, a checkout screen at a supermarket has 4,500 bacteria per square inch,
A doorknob has about 8,600 and a cell phone has about 25,000. So it's really important to clean your phone and clean it often. There are products specifically designed for this job, or you can just use a gentle cloth with a mixture of 60% water and 40% isopropyl alcohol.
