The effect of exposure to natural sounds on stress reduction: a systematic review and meta-analysis
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10253890.2024.2402519#d1e142
Although the evidence was slightly inconsistent, overall, natural sounds were found more beneficial for stress reduction than quiet environments.
Meeresrauschen ist gesund für den Schlaf, da es als eine Art „weißes Rauschen“ wirkt und störende Geräusche überlagert. Dieser gleichmäßige, rhythmische Klang kann das Gehirn beruhigen, Stress abbauen und das Einschlafen erleichtern. Es erinnert an die Geräusche im Mutterleib, was ein Gefühl von Sicherheit und Geborgenheit fördert

Pregnant women should not consume more than 200 mg of caffeine per day – approximately 2 cups. Higher amounts are associated with an increased risk of low birth weight.
https://www.nextg.tv/news/vorsichtige-wissenschaftler-kaffee-verlaengert-das-leben-neue-studie-ueberrascht-sogar-93897507.html
Benefits primarily relate to black coffee
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/15/2558
A growing body of evidence from large-scale epidemiological studies consistently shows that moderate coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, as well as major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, cognitive decline and respiratory illnesses. These benefits often persist across diverse populations.
The protective effects of coffee are likely mediated through improved glucose balance, enhanced physical activity, increased fat oxidation, anti-inflammatory properties and enhanced metabolic and pulmonary functions. While concerns persist regarding pregnancy outcomes, anxiety and sleep disturbances, particularly at high consumption levels, most data support the safety and benefits of moderate coffee intake (three to five cups per day) for the general population.
Coffee also improves other aspects of well-being, such as mental alertness, physical performance and hydration, thereby enhancing its role in daily functioning. Although most evidence comes from observational studies, the consistency of findings across settings adds to their credibility. Future research, especially randomised controlled trials and genetic studies, will help to clarify unanswered questions and identify subgroups that may benefit most or require caution. In summary, when consumed in moderation and tailored to individual tolerance, coffee appears to be a health-promoting beverage.

New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium supplement reverses memory loss in mice.
Studies in rodents and humans suggest that low levels of the metal contribute to cognitive decline

A decade-long study by Harvard Medical School scientists suggests that a deficiency of naturally occurring lithium in the brain could be a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease: Lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09335-x
Endogenous lithium (Li) is dynamically regulated in the brain and contributes to cognitive preservation during ageing
https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/dementia-alzheimers-disease-cause-deficiency-b2803824.html
Scientists discovered that lithium orotate can bypass amyloid plaques and effectively restore memory in mice at a significantly lower dose than traditional lithium treatments. "Of the metals we analysed, Li was the only one that was significantly reduced in the brain in individuals with mild cognitive impairment".
Lithium deficiency accelerates AD pathology and cognitive decline.
“A mouse is not a human. Nobody should take anything based just on mouse studies”. “The lithium treatment data we have is in mice, and it needs to be replicated in humans. We need to find the right dose in humans”
