Skipping Breakfast Leads to Depression

Skipping breakfast leads to depression, irritability, and anxiety. Scientists analyzed the habits of over 80,000 people and found that those who regularly eat in the morning feel better psycho-emotionally. However, people who constantly skip breakfast feel sadder, more anxious, and generally unstable. Simply eating in the morning reduces the stress hormone cortisol and regulates circadian rhythms - these influence mood and life satisfaction.

Attractive Women in the Gym Boost Men's Success

Researchers claim that if a beautiful woman is nearby, men turn into a testosterone-producing factory. This hormone promotes muscle growth and increases endurance. Furthermore, men independently increase their effort to impress the woman.

The Dangers of Sausages and Sodas

Sausages and sodas can lead to diabetes, colorectal cancer, and coronary heart disease. Scientists analyzed more than 60 studies and found a link: consuming just one sausage a day increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by 11% and the risk of colorectal cancer by 7%. With soda, it's almost the same: just 350 ml of soda a day increases the risks of these diseases.

AI has created a cancer drug

Google startup Isomorphinc Labs has developed a drug using the neural network AlphaFold, which predicted the structure of a protein. Google believes that AI can cure any disease. The company has announced the preparation of the world's first clinical trials on humans for a cancer drug. Over time, this development promises to transform into a universal means for discovering drugs for all diseases 'with the push of a button'.

Sad Consequences of Plastic Surgery

After a Brazilian butt lift, people begin to emit a terrible odor - this is a side effect of the procedure. Every fifth patient after a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) experiences a persistent unpleasant smell. In particularly severe cases, the odor can be detected from a distance of 1-2 meters. The main cause is fat necrosis. Due to the large amount of fat in the buttocks, the blood supply cannot keep up, and fat cells begin to die, producing a rancid odor.

Scientists Develop Antimicrobial Packaging for Food

Scientists are developing antimicrobial packaging for food. Someday, we may be able to store food in 'smart' packaging that makes products safer and more beneficial. The scientists envision packaging consisting of nanogels, nanoemulsions, and biodegradable films. They want the development to have antioxidant properties and protect food from microbes. Experts plan to extract bioactive substances from birch bark, red pepper, turmeric, rosemary, and pomegranate peel. According to the scientists, the 'chemistry' will also be 'green'.

Pitra Kriya - A Powerful Tool for Body Restoration

Pitra Kriya is a powerful tool for body restoration. Stress is meant to make us stronger, but when it becomes chronic, it can drain all our strength. In this case, we feel anxiety, apathy, and panic attacks may join in. Life shows us that we need to pause to rethink and reset our psyche. Pitra Kriya is aimed at balancing the endocrine, parasympathetic, and sympathetic nervous systems. It provides a reset for our psyche. After regularly performing this kriya, we begin to realize that the power that helps us is located within us, that We are this power. Such feelings are experienced by a person who is in deep connection with themselves, and in this state it is simply impossible to let stress and anxiety in.

Scientists Conquer Deafness

Scientists have conquered deafness. They managed to restore hearing in adults who were deaf from birth. Doctors introduced healthy copies of the OTOF gene, which produces otoferlin - a key protein in sound transmission, into the patients. Within a month, all 10 patients began to hear, and the hearing persisted even after six months. The minimum audible volume decreased from 106 to 52 decibels. This means they transitioned from deep deafness to the ability to hear sounds at conversation level. A 24-year-old patient was able to hear for the first time in his life - it used to be believed that curing adults was impossible.

Yesterday's brewed tea is dangerous for health

According to doctors, just a couple of hours after brewing, bacteria begin to actively multiply in the moist tea. Meanwhile, the tea continues to oxidize, losing its beneficial properties and antioxidants, and its taste deteriorates. Consumption of such tea can cause gastrointestinal disorders, intoxication, and even food poisoning.

Morning Coffee - An Energy Killer

Morning coffee is a mistake that kills your energy and turns you into a zombie. Doctors warn: right after waking up, your cortisol is at its peak. If you drink coffee during this cortisol spike, you add caffeine to your body's natural stimulation. It sounds like an energy hack, but in reality, you will experience nervousness, anxiety, and over time, dependency. The golden window for your first coffee is 60–90 minutes after waking up.

Green Tea with Peppermint Improves Memory and Attention

Volunteers aged 25-56 were divided into two groups - one drank a cup of warm water, the other a cup of peppermint tea. Afterwards, participants completed a series of computer tasks on memory, attention, and visual-spatial processing. The participants who drank tea performed significantly better on cognitive tasks. Scientists attribute this to the presence of menthol - it enhances nerve signal transmission and activates receptors related to sensory processing. To experience the effect, experts recommend having peppermint tea 2-3 times a week.

The Brain Can Use Fat as an Energy Source

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine have concluded that the brain can use fat as an energy source. It was previously thought that the brain exclusively relied on glucose. However, new data shows that during the active work of neurons in synapses (the connections between nerve cells), fat droplets are broken down, releasing fatty acids, which are then used by mitochondria for energy production. This discovery could be significant for understanding the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Neuralink: Brain Implants and New Possibilities

Neuralink brain implants now allow not only playing games with the power of thought but also controlling robotic arms. During tests, a paralyzed subject was able to draw a truck with a marker just by thinking about the movements, and in the future, his chip could be connected to cyber prostheses and robots. In addition, Elon Musk promised to implant the first sight-restoring implant in 2026, and by 2028 to start treating depression and other mental disorders.

Cola officially neutralizes migraines

Sweet soda helps alleviate some triggers and symptoms of an impending headache. And for those whose migraines are caused by low blood sugar, it's an excellent remedy overall. Ice in Coca-Cola mitigates pain, and caffeine narrows blood vessels and makes medications more effective. Even some headache medications contain caffeine. And that's not all – carbon dioxide in the sweet drink can help calm the stomach and relieve nausea.

TikTok and Shorts Cause Eating Disorders - Study

Scientists have discovered that TikTok/Shorts increase body dissatisfaction and provoke eating disorders. Girls are primarily at risk, but boys also suffer from it. Teenagers admire the 'perfect' bodies of bloggers and then try to lose weight at any cost. When they fail, it impacts their mental health. Ultimately, the pursuit of ideal bodies compromises not only eating behavior but also mental health.

Overweight individuals earn less than slim ones

The higher the body mass index, the lower the average salary, experts found. The study showed: just one extra point above a normal BMI - and income decreases by 4%. With a 10% increase in BMI, the salary drops by 9% and then typically stabilizes at this level. Scientists believe it's due to bias - overweight people are often seen as lazy and not ambitious at work, so they receive fewer perks from bosses.

Get Paid for Your Feces in Japan

In Japan, you can get paid for your feces. A local pharmaceutical company pays 5,000 yen for a sample of healthy stool with good gut bacteria, which will be used to create new medical treatments. With multiple visits, you can earn several hundred dollars.

Scientists Defeat Type 1 Diabetes

Scientists have defeated Type 1 diabetes - the new drug Zimislecel can cure 10 out of 12 patients with the most severe form of the disease. After the injection, there is no longer a need to take insulin - the cells start producing it on their own in safe amounts. Soon, this drug will be available to millions of people with diabetes.

Scientists removed an extra chromosome and 'fixed' cells in Down syndrome

Geneticists used CRISPR technology for gene editing and literally cut out the extra 21st chromosome. After this, the cells began to function like normal ones. If the technology is refined, it could open doors to treatment: Patau syndrome (extra 13th chromosome), Edwards syndrome (extra 18th chromosome), Other genetic 'malfunctions'.

Two deadly viruses found in bats in China

Two new deadly viruses have been found in bats in China - they cause brain inflammation and severe lung diseases. The bats inhabit areas near orchards, close to human settlements. Infection is very easy: through fruits that rodents have touched. But the most frightening thing is that these animals cannot be exterminated - they protect gardens from pests.
