The Colorful Parteeee Run 1st Time in KL
For the first time in Malaysia, The Color Run will be taking KL by storm – a colourful one that is. Also known as the ‘Happiest 5k on the Planet’, the fun run will see participants doused in different colours at every check point – you'll reach the finish line saturated head to toe in bright hues. The fun doesn’t stop there; stick around for the Finish Festival, a post-race party with music, dancing and plenty of colour throws. If you're not much of a runner, feel free to walk or jog – as long as you can cover the 5km, you're good.

People Who Don't Drink Alcohol Are More Likely To Die Young
A newly released study shows that regular drinkers are less likely to die prematurely than people who have never indulged in alcohol. You read that right: Time reports that abstaining from alcohol altogether can lead to a shorter life than consistent, moderate drinking.
Surprised? The tightly controlled study, which looked at individuals
between ages 55 and 65, spanned a 20-year period and accounted for
variables ranging from socioeconomic status to level of physical
activity. Led by psychologist Charles Holahan of the University of Texas
at Austin, it found that mortality rates were highest for those who had
never had a sip, lower for heavy drinkers, and lowest for moderate
drinkers who enjoyed one to three drinks per day.
Of the 1,824 study participants, only 41 percent of the moderate
drinkers died prematurely compared to a whopping 69 percent of the
nondrinkers. Meanwhile, the heavy drinkers fared better than those who
abstained, with a 60 percent mortality rate. Despite the increased risks
for cirrhosis and several types of cancer, not to mention dependency,
accidents, and poor judgment associated with heavy drinking, those who
imbibe are less likely to die than people who stay dry.
A possible explanation for this is that alcohol can be a great social
lubricant, and strong social networks are essential for maintaining
mental and physical health. Nondrinkers have been shown to demonstrate
greater signs of depression than their carousing counterparts, and in
addition to the potential heart health and circulation benefits of
moderate drinking (especially red wine), it also increases sociability.
While it’s always important to drink responsibly, this is one study that warrants raising a glass.
