Benefits of Listening to House Music

Listening to rhythmic beats in the range of 120-130 beats per minute enhances and rejuvenates the brain while lowering cortisol levels. People who regularly listen to house music have better brain activity and heart rate control, which literally extends life.

Kombucha leads to faster weight loss than diets or Ozempic

Scientists conducted a study and found that kombucha stimulates the growth of gut microbes that fight obesity. Even a small daily dose of kombucha made from black tea changes the gut microbiome, especially in people with obesity. This does not require any dietary changes.

Glass bottles contain more microplastic than plastic bottles

Glass bottles contain more microplastic than plastic bottles. Such a paradox was noticed by scientists. The study was conducted with different glass bottles: beer, lemonade, soda, and wine. On average, all bottles contain 100 times more microplastic. The least of it is found in glass wine bottles.

Vaccine Developed in the USA Offers 100% Protection

A vaccine has been developed in the USA that provides 100% protection against the disease. The drug has already been tested on 7,000 people and showed 100% protection, even in risky contacts. The vaccine has been in development for over 20 years and will begin appearing on the market in the USA at the end of the year.

Scientists Defeat Baldness

100% of participants were cured of alopecia with a new drug. Doctors at the San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid have developed a treatment for androgenic alopecia, consisting of a combination of stem cells from adipose tissue and the energy molecule ATP. The result was shocking: 100% of male mice with alopecia grew new fur, and 90% of female mice were cured. Doctors believe the drug could become a full-fledged replacement for hair transplant surgery.

Two cups of coffee daily reduce mortality risk by 16%

Two cups of black coffee a day reduce the risk of death from all causes by 16%. However, the benefit of coffee decreases when cream or sugar is added. Scientists explain the effect of coffee with the bioactive compounds it contains.

Cancer Detection: New Blood Test

Cancer can now be detected three years before diagnosis - scientists from Johns Hopkins have created a blood test that finds tumors long before their appearance. Researchers read early traces of cancer in the DNA of white blood cells when the immune system is just beginning to respond to the disease. This discovery allows for treatment at the earliest stages - the disease won't have a chance to cause serious damage. Key point: the technology relies on DNA analysis and AI, which could completely change the approach to diagnosis in the coming years.

Self-driving Wheelchair with Autopilot Developed

Singaporean startup Strutt is developing a self-driving wheelchair with autopilot. The key feature of the device is the Co-Pilot system, which makes control as simple and safe as possible. This helps to avoid collisions, consider obstacles, and adapt to challenging conditions.

Kvass helps with weight loss, doctors claim

Natural kvass contains only 25-50 kilocalories per 100 milliliters and is rich in prebiotics that support intestinal flora and metabolism. It also contains acids that accelerate the breakdown of fats. However, one should consume real, unpasteurized farm kvass, not the kind from supermarket chains.

Successful Brain Implant Procedure in China

China has conducted the first successful brain implant surgery. It is half the size of Elon Musk's Neuralink, which means the body "practically doesn't perceive" it as a foreign object, yet the capabilities are about the same. With the implant, a man who lost all his limbs has already learned to control a computer with his mind, avidly plays games, and more. If all tests are successful, the chip is expected to hit the market in 2028.

Scientists Invent Bioengineered Teeth

Scientists have invented bioengineered teeth that grow in place and fuse with existing nerves. The 'smart' implant consists of a biodegradable outer layer, contains stem cells, and a special protein that triggers cell maturation into nerve tissue. The artificial tooth can function just like a real one: sensing the texture and temperature of food and playing a role in speech. The implant has already been successfully tested on rodents and was fully functional 6 weeks after implantation. Next, it will be tested on larger animals, and eventually on humans.

Sleep Deprivation Can Lead to Alzheimer's

Sleep deprivation can lead to Alzheimer's and even dry out the brain. Scientists have found that poor sleep reduces parts of the brain that are particularly vulnerable to Alzheimer's, increasing the risk of the disease. To prevent this, one should have deep sleep, meaning spending more time in the deep sleep stage. In this case, the brain rests, and its resources are replenished.

Low-calorie ice cream can lead to a stroke

Low-calorie ice cream can lead to a stroke. Scientists have confirmed this hypothesis. It's all about erythritol - a popular sugar substitute added to ice cream. It accumulates in the body, narrows blood vessels, and blocks blood flow to the brain. Moreover, it is even found in products labeled as safe for diabetics.

20-Year-Old Develops 300 Kidney Stones From Drinks Instead of Water

A 20-year-old woman developed 300 kidney stones by drinking bubble tea, juice, and alcohol instead of water for a year. The case happened in Taiwan back in 2023, but it's only gone viral now. The woman experienced fever and severe lower back pain. A CT scan showed numerous kidney stones ranging from 5 mm to 2 cm - she underwent surgery to remove the stones. Doctors say that kidney stone formation occurs most frequently in spring and summer when it is hot and dehydration happens. Due to replacing water with sodas and other drinks, urine becomes concentrated, crystallizes, and forms stones.

Doctors recommend spicy foods for weight loss

Doctors have stated that to lose weight, one should eat spicy wings and spicy noodles. Peppers and some other spicy products contain capsaicin, which actively affects fat deposits, burns them, and also improves digestion. Additionally, eating spicy foods also improves circulation and the immune system, and triggers an adrenaline release, making us more alert, cheerful, balanced, and productive. An important note: such foods should not be consumed by people with gastritis and heartburn.

Gluten-free diet eases ADHD and mental disorders

Avoiding gluten alleviates ADHD, anxiety, stress, depression, and mental illnesses. Scientists observed improvements in patients with schizophrenia after 5 weeks on a gluten-free diet. The patients gave up bread, pasta, pastries, sauces, sausages, breaded products, and beer. Participants experienced a disappearance of panic attacks, brain fog, and fatigue.

92-Year-Old Chinese Grandma Amazes with Daily Workout Routine

The 92-year-old Chinese grandma does 200 push-ups and 100 squats daily. The former kindergarten teacher has gone viral on social media - she performs the exercises effortlessly and feels great.

Wine Spa Found in Japan

A wine spa has been found in Japan - it is located in the city of Hakone on the island of Honshu. There are a large number of wine baths, and the wine flows straight from a 3.5-meter bottle. The pools are filled daily with a non-alcoholic solution with a dose of wine tannins, as one cannot bathe in pure wine. Additionally, during the procedures, guests are treated to real red wine.

Study: Risk of Dementia and Alzheimer's Halved if Not Married

Scientists from the USA observed 24,000 people over 20 years and found that single individuals have almost twice the chance of maintaining a clear mind in old age. Singles interact more with friends, are more active, and pay better attention to their health.

Chinese Extend the Lifespan of Cancer Patients

Chinese scientists have learned to extend the lifespan of cancer patients. The new CAR-T immunotherapy method allows people with stomach cancer to live 40% longer. With this therapy, human cells are 'reprogrammed' to fight the tumor, and the protein that promotes the growth of cancer cells is blocked.
