Creative Uses For Plain Yogurt

First of all, let’s talk about choosing a yogurt. When making face masks and other beauty products, choose a plain, whole-fat yogurt. You want all of those fats and oils to treat your skin. If you’re looking for a snack, however, I would choose a plain Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has nearly twice the amount of protein of regular yogurt. It also has about half the sugar, carbs, and sodium.
Whichever yogurt you have on hand…here are some creative ways to use it you might not have thought of before!
 
Heal Blemishes
This Yogurt and Honey Face Mask exfoliates your skin, heals blemishes and even brightens complexion. Plus, it’s made with only four ingredients that you probably have in the kitchen!
 
Fade Age Spots
Because of the lactic acid, plain yogurt is one of these 10 home remedies for age spot
 
Treat Sunburn
Yogurt also makes a great remedy for sunburns! Spread a thin layer of whole-fat yogurt on your skin, let it sit for at least 10 minutes, and then take a cool shower to wash it off. The yogurt soothes the sunburn and feels cooling, while the probiotics and enzymes actually start to heal sunburns.
 
Ease Tummy Troubles
Because yogurt has probiotics, eating it regularly will keep your digestive system regular and your immune system strong.
 
Canker Sore Remedy
The bacteria in yogurt helps fight canker sores, so eat just a few spoonfuls of yogurt everyday to keep canker sores away!

Homemade Tzatziki Sauce
Peel a cucumber, slice it lengthwise, and scoop the seeds out. Dice the cucumber, add it to 1 cup of yogurt, some minced garlic, a bit of fresh dill, and squeeze in some lemon juice to make your own tzatziki sauce! It’s a great veggie dip, chicken marinade, or even a spread for sandwiches!
 
Quick & Easy Fruit Dip
Mix Greek yogurt with your favorite chocolate syrup for a quick and easy fruit dip.

Make Cheese!
To make your own cheese with yogurt, place some plain yogurt in a colander with 4 sheets of cheesecloth, and put it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, it should be the texture of a soft cream cheese – it makes a delicious spread for crackers!

Mayo Substitute
Choose plain greek yogurt for your creamy topping instead of sour cream or mayonnaise. You’ll hardly notice the difference, but you’ll be avoiding a lot of fat! 

Edible Finger-paint!

And last, but not least, you can finger-paint with yogurt! Just add a drop or two of food coloring to about a 1/4 of plain yogurt to make your paints. Set up on a sheet of wax paper and get coloring! It’s a fun afternoon activity, but I wouldn’t suggest keeping the yogurt-drawings.

Here's how memories form and fade

Researchers have identified the neural processes that make some memories fade rapidly while other memories persist over time.

Using mouse models, researchers determined that strong, stable memories are encoded by " teams" of neurons all firing in synchrony, providing redundancy that enables these memories to persist over time.

The research has implications for understanding how memory might be affected after brain damage, such as by strokes or Alzheimer's disease, reported the study.

Led by postdoctoral scholar, the team developed a test to examine mice's neural activity as they learn about and remember a new place.

In a test, a mouse was placed in a straight enclosure, about 5 feet long with white walls. Unique symbols marked different locations along the walls- for e.g., a bold plus sign near the right-most end and an angled slash near the center.

Sugar water ( a treat for mice) was placed at either end of the track. While the mouse explored, the researchers measured the activity of specific neurons in the mouse hippocampus (the region of the brain where new memories are formed) that are known to encode for places.

When an animal was initially placed in the track, it was unsure of what to do and wandered left and right until it came across the sugar water. In these cases, single neurons were activated when the mouse took notice of a symbol on the wall.

But over multiple experiences with the track, the mouse became familiar with it and remembered the locations of the sugar. As the mouse became more familiar, more and more neurons were activated in synchrony by seeing each symbol on the wall. Essentially, the mouse was recognising where it was with respect to each unique symbol.

To study how memories fade over time, the researchers then withheld the mice from the track for up to 20 days.

Upon returning to the track after this break, mice that had formed strong memories encoded by higher numbers of neurons remembered the task quickly.

Even though some neurons showed different activity, the mouse's memory of the track was clearly identifiable when analysing the activity of large groups of neurons.

In other words, using groups of neurons enable the brain to have redundancy and still recall memories even if some of the original neurons fall silent or are damaged.

Imgaine you've a long and complicated story to tell. In order to preserve the story, you could tell it to 5 of your friends and then occasionally get together with all of them to re-tell the story and help each other fill in any gaps that an individual had forgotten. Additionally, each time you re-tell the story, you could bring new friends to learn and therefore help preserve it and strengthen the memory. In an analogous way, your own neurons help each other out to encode memories that will persist over time, he explained.

Memory is so fundamental to human behaviour that any impairment to memory can severely impact our daily life. Memory loss that occurs as part of normal aging can be a significant handicap for senior citizens.

Moreover, memory loss caused by several disease, most notably Alzheimer's, has devastating consequences that can interfere with the most basic routines including recognising relatives or remembering the way back home. 


This work suggested that memories might fade more rapidly as we age because memory is encoded by fewer neurons, and if any of these neurons fail, the memory is lost.

Our earliest memories fade at age seven

Age seven is when our earliest memories start to fade - a phenomenon known as 'childhood amnesia' - scientists have demonstrated for the first time. 

Although infants use their memories to learn new information, few adults can remember events in their lives that happened prior to the age of three. 

Researchers from Emory University in US interviewed children about past events in their lives, starting at age three. 

Different subsets of the group of children were then tested for recall of these events at ages five, six, seven, eight and nine. 

"Our study is the first empirical demonstration of the onset of childhood amnesia," said Emory psychologist Patricia Bauer, who led the study. 

"We actually recorded the memories of children, and then we followed them into the future to track when they forgot these memories," Bauer said. 

Scientists have long known, based on interviews with adults, that most people's earliest memories only go back to about age 3. Sigmund Freud coined the term "childhood amnesia" to describe this loss of memory from the infant years. 

Using his psychoanalytic theory, Freud made the controversial proposal that people were repressing their earliest memories due to their inappropriate sexual nature. 

In recent years, however, growing evidence indicates that, while infants use memory to learn language and make sense of the world around them, they do not yet have the sophisticated neural architecture needed to form and hold onto more complex forms of memory. 

The Emory University experiment began by recording 83 children at the age of three, while their mothers or fathers asked them about six events that the children had experienced in recently, such as a trip to the zoo or a birthday party. 

"For example: "The mother might ask, 'Remember when we went to Chuck E. Cheese's for your birthday party?' She might add, 'You had pizza, didn't you?'" Bauer said. 

"The child might start recounting details of the Chuck E Cheese experience or divert the conversation by saying something like, "Zoo!" 

"Some mothers might keep asking about the pizza, while another mother might say, "Okay, we went to the zoo, too. Tell me about that," Bauer said. 

Parents who followed a child's lead in these conversations tended to elicit richer memories from their three-year-olds, Bauer said. 

After recording the base memories, the researchers followed up with the children years later, asking them to recall the events that they recounted at age three. 

While the children between the ages of five and seven could recall 63 to 72 per cent of the events, the children who were eight and nine years old remembered only about 35 per cent of the events.
