Try These Soups for Better Health |
Most cultures around the world boast their own “healing” soups. And while there’s little research into whether these traditional medicines work, we know, at least, that regular soup consumption can increase vitamin intake and lower obesity risk. NPR has a wonderful roundup of cultural soups— Spain’s sopa de farigola, Tunisia’s hsou, Thailand’s gang liang, Kashmir’s chattle rass, Jamaica’s ital sip, and Georgia’s khashi—including recipes and personal stories from those who make and enjoy them.

Fatty Acid Promotes Growth in Rare Breast Cancer |
Linoleic acid—an omega-6 fatty acid found in seed oils like soybean and safflower oil and animal products like pork and egg—promotes triple-negative breast cancer growth, a new study found. Mice on a high-linoleic-acid diet showed increased tumor growth and levels of a protein called FABP5. And patients who were newly diagnosed with the rare cancer had elevated levels of FABP5
and linoleic acid in their tumors and blood, suggesting FABP5 could be a good candidate for targeted therapy for the cancer. Â

A Surprising Number of People Don’t Get Hangovers |
Nearly a quarter of people avoid hangovers no matter how much they drink, a phenomenon called “hangover resistance.” While studies confirm this pattern across various groups, the exact cause of this superpower remains unclear, but several factors may be at work, including genetics (and faster alcohol metabolism), stronger immune systems, and lower overall anxiety levels. We’ve also yet to learn whether hangover resistance equates to drinking more or if worsened hangovers equal poorer responses to alcohol overall.

FINANCE FRIDAY WITH NETWORTH NURSE |
Earn Passive Income Through Real Estate |
Nurses, did you know you can start earning passive income through real estate syndications without ever lifting a hammer? 🏠💸 Real estate syndications allow you to pool your money with other investors to own a share of large properties—like apartment complexes or commercial buildings—without the hassle of managing them yourself. It's like being part of a group project where everyone shares the profits. 🤝
This means you can earn a return on your investment without any of the hands-on work, making it perfect for busy nurses who don’t have time for property management. All you need to do is research syndication platforms and reach out to operators in the space who can help guide you through the process.
Want to know more? Check out resources like Investopedia’s guide to Real Estate Syndications to get started!
🤑 Earn passive income today—let your money work while you do!
