Today on Something You Should Know, why does your refrigerator have a light inside but not your freezer? Then, we all have regrets, often painful regrets. And regrets can teach us a lot.
One of the biggest categories of regrets are these boldness regrets where people say, if only I'd taken the chance, if only I'd asked that person out, if only I'd spoken up, if only I'd taken that trip. Over and over again, people regret playing it safe.
Also, when it comes to chicken, you probably like white meat best. Why is that? And what makes some people creative and some people not? There have been studies.
They concluded that one factor clearly separated the two groups. The creative people thought they were creative and the less creative people didn't think they were.
All this today on Something You Should Know. We talk a lot about health on Something You Should Know, and I guess it motivates me. I mean, I'm not a nut about it, but I try to take care of my health. I want to preserve my mobility and strength as I get older. And I recently started taking this supplement. Maybe you've heard about it. It's called MitoPure. MitoPure is a precise dose of something called Urolithin A that supports your health by encouraging cellular renewal. Since I started taking it... I can tell I have more energy and I notice I recover faster after I exercise. I did some research on this too. There's some real science here that supports what I'm saying. And so does my experience.
MitoPure is the only urolithin A supplement on the market that is clinically proven to target the effects of age-related cellular decline. And Mito Pure is shown to deliver double-digit increases in muscle strength and endurance without a change in exercise. From my own experience, I have more energy and strength and just overall feel better every day. And who doesn't want that? And I'm not just recommending it to you on this podcast. I tell friends and other people I know about it because of how it makes me feel. Now, Timeline is the company behind MitoPure, and Timeline is offering 10% off your order of MitoPure.

Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers. Hi, welcome to what I think is a really interesting episode of Something You Should Know, because I know what's in it. But you listen and you be the judge. We start today with your refrigerator and freezer. Chances are when you open the refrigerator, a light comes on so you can see what you're doing. But open the freezer and no light comes on. So why is there a light in the fridge and not the freezer? According to a website called todayifoundout.com, it saves the manufacturer money to not have to put a light in the freezer. And studies show that people don't open the freezer nearly as much as they open the fridge. And certainly people don't browse in the freezer the way they browse in the fridge.
Generally, people go to the freezer to get something out that's going to take some further preparation, and the kitchen light is probably on anyway. However, the refrigerator often gets raided at night, where a light is really handy while you're looking around for something to eat. There are other theories. One is that it used to be impractical to have a light in the freezer in the old models that built up frost on the inside. The frost would have built up on the light, too, making it pretty useless. Then when frost-free freezers came along, they simply carried on the tradition. Whatever the reason, in most cases, most people don't have a light in their freezer. And that is something you should know.
I'm sure you've heard people say that they have no regrets in their life. Is that possible? Is that even a realistic goal to live a regret-free life? Regret is an emotion everyone feels, even those people who claim to have no regrets. Best-selling author Daniel Pink has thoroughly explored the topic and emotion of regret and found that your regrets can serve a valuable purpose in your life.
