13 Hygiene Things We Learnt to Do Wrong

We are all guilty of adding some sugar here and there to make things taste better, but what might seem like innocent pleasure can actually cause a lot of serious health issues when we put too much sugar in our body. Luckily, our system gives us crystal-clear signs when we’ve crossed that line and should stop doing that immediately to protect ourselves from health problems. Large amounts of sugar in your diet cause your cells to go through complicated biochemical processes that result in muscle aches and pains, joint stiffness and swelling. Food high in sugar won’t make you feel full because it doesn’t contain any useful nutrients, which is why you often feel hungry even if you just ate a big delicious sugary muffin like half an hour ago. When you eat sweet stuff, the pancreas releases insulin to help bring glucose to the cells, giving you a rush of energy. Once the cycle ends, though, your energy levels drop because your body wants more sugar. And this can start a never-ending cycle of overeating sugar in order to stay energized. If not brushed away properly, food debris causes the appearance of plaque on your teeth, which erodes the tooth’s hard enamel surface resulting in tiny holes. Always make sure to brush AND floss your teeth properly, use an antibacterial mouthwash, and visit your dentist regularly. Bloating is directly connected to what you eat and how your body can digest it. If sugar isn’t absorbed into the small intestine (and not all of it will if there’s too much of it), it’ll enter the large intestine where it usually acts like gas-producing bacteria.

How to Improve Your Health and Appearance Naturally Scientists have proved that regular consumption of seeds and nuts, including almonds, is incredibly good for your health and appearance. How much of those is enough to stay young and healthy? What will happen if you actually start eating them every day – will it have more benefits or dangers for your health? The health benefits of almonds 0:46 Countless studies have shown that these nuts not only normalize lipid levels in the blood, they also reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes. Almonds are a true miracle for helping you lose weight as well since they lower the level of fat in the body. How flax, sesame and pumpkin seeds are good for you 1:56 Flax seeds are great for your health because their chemical composition basically multitasks at improving all kinds of bodily systems at once. The chemical composition of sesame seeds decreases blood pressure, effectively preventing stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. Pumpkin seeds contain a huge amount of arginine, which helps dilate the blood vessels, thus, improving circulation and preventing hypertension. The health benefits of walnuts 3:57 The minerals contained in walnuts lower the risk of developing both cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. Plus, they have a natural chemical called tocopherol, which is highly effective at minimizing symptoms associated with age-related disorders and protecting men from prostate cancer. Why sunflower seeds are good for you 4:34 Sunflower seeds effectively prevent bronchial and lung infections because of their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. If you wanna get in on all these health-boosting benefits, just make it a habit to consume one ounce of sunflower seeds every single day. How to stay healthy with pistachios and cashews 5:08 Snacking on pistachios can help you feel full longer, which makes them great for weight control. Cashews are full of iron, which is a must-have to prevent anemia. Plus, they can really help diabetics stabilize their blood-sugar levels.

It’s your personal sanctuary, your private concert stage, the place where all your most ingenious ideas and random thoughts pop into your head, and other things just pop out. It's the bathroom, also known as the restroom, lavatory, and, for you engineers out there, it’s the cubical digestive elimination venue. But do you know that when it comes to what you’re doing in there, you probably make some common sanitation mistakes? For example, you think you're washing your hands correctly? Well, besides the water temperature, the problem is, the average person doesn’t spend enough time washing their hands. Or maybe you wash your face in the shower? Not the best option, too. By the way, where do you keep your towels? Right there in the bathroom? It's better to store them elsewhere (of course, unless you wanna rub fungus all over your body).

10 Unique Superpowers Kids Are All Born With. Only babies have the following superpowers, and we are sure you will want to have some of them yourself! If you or your close friends or family have babies, you already know how amazing they are. Everything they do, especially when it’s for the first time, is a reason for admiration and celebration. First word? “Let’s get the camera so we can record it!” It gets even better when they learn to crawl, sit and stand and walk! Some people, however, are a bit skeptical about babies’ talents and abilities. How dare they! We have proof that babies have unique and surprising superpowers. More than that, we are sure you will want to have some of them yourself. Sadly, you can’t. TIMESTAMPS Babies don’t cry. 1:08 They feel great underwater. 2:11 They swallow and breathe at the same time. 3:06 If necessary, babies can sneeze continuously. 3:42 They fall asleep easily. 4:41 They have a natural accent. 5:29 Newborns know how to crawl. 6:23 Babies are very flexible. 7:04 Their hairstyle may change drastically. 7:30 A baby can triple its weight and not get fat. 8:40 SUMMARY In the first year of their life, babies are developing rapidly. During this period, the weight of a baby may triple. However, the child’s constitution is not affected in any way because it grows very quickly. From birth to 6-months age babies normally grow 1/2 to 1 inch and gain 5 to 7 ounces a week. So, they often double their weight by the time they are five months old. In between 6 and 12 months of age, babies might grow 3/8 inch a month and gain 3 to 5 ounces a week. So, they normally triple their weight by their first anniversary. Scientists have found out that babies cry with a national accent. Researchers have recorded cries of 60 babies born in German or French families and found they have the same melody as in their native language by the second day of life! They get it in the womb when hearing their mother’s voice. According to scientists, infants are attracted by the smell of milk, which lures them. Some experts believe birth attendants should give Mom and baby at least an hour to bond and feed before they take care of the baby. This will give him a chance to follow the natural instinct and crawl to his mother’s breast and feed as nature has planned it. The skeleton of a baby has about 300 bones. With age, many of them grow and coalesce into a single whole. So, a grown adult has 206 bones. But before the bones are connected, the body of a newborn is extremely flexible.

Tantrums are very common in kids aged 1 to 4. More than half of kids let their frustration out at least once a week, or more often. Why do they do it? By the time they turn 3 or 4, kids have much better language skills than babies, of course, but their vocabulary is still not advanced enough to describe everything they feel. So what can you do to prevent your kids from going crazy now and then?

The Brazilian treehopper is one strange-looking bug with antenna-like spiky balls on its head—but don’t squish it! Scientists believe those odd spikes might help it scare off predators or even detect its surroundings, making it a fascinating creature to study. There are plenty of other bugs you shouldn’t touch either, like assassin bugs, which can carry diseases, or brightly colored caterpillars, some of which can sting with venomous hairs. Even harmless-looking ladybugs can release a stinky liquid when threatened. Bugs often have unique roles in ecosystems, like pollinating plants or controlling pests, so it’s best to leave them be. Instead of squishing, let these little critters go about their weird and wonderful lives! 🐛🕷️ Credit: Southernms / Reddit ricoimf / Reddit CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... model of a Ball-bearing Treehopper: By Anagoria, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...

Scammers keep coming up with new and more creative schemes to steal your money or valuable data. If you stay updated on the new phone scam schemes you can protect your money and data from scammers. This new scam has the potential to outsmart all other types of fraud. The Better Business Bureau has already called it the most dangerous phone scam out there! So, if your own number calls you, never ever take the call! Typically, the bad guys calling you from your own number introduce themselves as representatives from your mobile provider. They start by informing you that somebody has hacked your account. Then, they ask you to verify a few things. This sounds so trustworthy and people are already freaked out at the thought of their account being hacked that they willingly give up their personal data. First and foremost, don't answer the phone. There's no way that "you" are calling yourself. Authorities also recommend signing up for the National Do Not Call Registry. And if you get unwanted calls, you can report them to the Federal Trade Commission. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS What’s in it for these criminals? 1:16 What cover story do scammers use? 1:40 How can you avoid becoming victim of this fraud? 3:12 More phone scam schemes 4:16 What can you do to if you're about to become a scam victim? 5:49 SUMMARY -Scammers can read you like a book and use their silver tongue to talk you into giving them information about your phone account and even your social security and credit card numbers. -Criminals claim to be representatives from your mobile provider. They start by informing you that somebody has hacked your account and ask to provide your personal data to save your account. -The Federal Communications Commission advises people to always verify callers claiming to be representatives of government agencies and other organizations. Also, be extremely cautious about the information you give to anyone calling you. -Scams involving your local area code, repeated calls scam, the "Can you hear me?" scam are all pretty popular as well. -Avoid talking to strangers on the phone if possible. Be attentive if you have picked up: listen for pauses after each time you say something, it's most likely a robocall, so hang up.

Let's say, you're setting off on a long-awaited cruise; you're on cloud nine, and nothing could be further from your mind than paying attention to the safety precautions. But however unwilling you might be to waste precious vacation time on listening to safety instructions, you should remember that chances are, it could save your life. Yes, the odds of being trapped on a sinking ship nowadays are quite low. But there are things you can do to survive if the near-impossible does happen. Hopefully, it’ll never happen to you, but just in case, it's vitally important to know how to react. SUMMARY: Take part in the first-day safety drill 0:51 What you should do first 1:44 Follow the crew's directions 2:42 How you can help others 3:21 Try to get to a lifeboat as quickly as possible 3:58 What if you have to jump off the ship 5:50 🚤 Why ships sink 🚤 7:39 #survivaltips #ships #brightside SUMMARY: Try to remember where the lifeboat closest to your cabin is, and figure out how to get there if it's dark or the weather is stormy. Also, read the instructions for how to put on and use your floatation device. Try to stay calm - you have no time for panic. If you're in your cabin, immediately put on your floatation device and take anything else that may help you later. The next step, which might become a life-altering one, is to get to safety. And to do that, you need to follow the crew's directions. Regrettably, studies claim that only 35% of people manage to stay calm in a critical situation. If you're one of those lucky ones, help other passengers to get their bearings. If you see a person standing still in the middle of the turmoil, yell at them - it's an effective way to bring them back to reality. After that, concentrate on your top-priority task, which is to get to a lifeboat as quickly as possible. But let's say you look around and see no available lifeboats whatsoever and start to panic! What then? In that case, try to find some floatation device, like a life preserver ring, and throw it into the water. If there's no time left, and you realize you'll have to jump off the ship, always check where you'll land first. Otherwise, you may be hit by some wreckage, a boat, or other people, and end up underwater. The cold shock may pull you underwater even faster than hypothermia sets in. That's why it's vitally important to collect yourself. Surprisingly, every ship sinks in a different way, depending on its center of gravity and size, the shape of its hull, and, of course, the cause of the accident.
