It's wonderful
嗯
The first speaker that saonners make her feel relaease a phrase meaning comfortable and relaxed
And the next speaker thinks saonners are great
If you feel tense an adjective meaning worried and unable to relax
Sononers make the final speaker feel like she's reset you might alalknow the word reset set mean turning a computer often on again
That it's not for king
But is sing connection with a person reset means to start again after a rest
So that you feel better about life
So it seems saonners do help people feel better
But is there actual medical evidence that it's good for us
Here's james gallager again speaking with professor or damian
Bailey an expert in human physiology for bbc radio for program inside health
So we start to connectness to the icomes around health benefits
You there a health benefit to going in a soona

You saw as maybe we should be copying what the things do
Because there's a forty percent reduction in all cals mortality
But the sonnago is
Now this is what we will call observational data
But it's based on thousands and thousands of sona ago
And these are observational data set so we really do
Need what we call our cities with the deomzed control trials
Everyeverything just youyou've mentioned everything's absolutely control
But we can in our noses up at the current data
The observational data damion discusses the evidence from finland a country
Where ninety percent of the population
Our regular sonago is
And it's impressive a forty percent reduction in deaths from all cases
But it's important to remember that this is based on observational data information collected from watching people's natural behavior and not from controlled medical trials
Nevertheless this observational data is based on evidence from thousand
Thousands and thousands of fins over many years
That's why damiththks ks shouldn't turturn nonoses up at it shouldn't reject it
Simply
Because we think
Think it's not good enough for us well all this talk about sonors has made
Made Want
Want give it
It
I'm right
Right not before you finveed the answer to your quesnenei asask you
What the finished word soner means
But it a sweat be hot water or see bath house
And
And it a bath house
I'm
My right
What the absolutely correct well done
Yeah
Okay
Let's recap the vocabulary we've land in this episode
If something is not all it's cracked up to be
It isn't as good as people say
When someone's at ease
They feel comfortable and unstressed
Whereas a tense person is worried and unable to relax
When somethink researts they start again
After arrest
Which is made them feel better about life observation
Tional data information collected from watching people's natural behavior without inferering in it
And finally if you turn nose up at something you reject it
Because you think it's not good enough about you
