Sleeping next to a dog leads to asthma and dermatitis.

The blame lies with the animal's fur and dander, which trigger an allergic reaction. Doctors explain that when you inhale particles of animal dander into your lungs, your body's immune cells recognize the dog's antigen as a foreign substance posing a threat to your health. As a result, an inflammatory reaction begins, releasing histamine, which causes smooth muscle contraction and airway narrowing. This means you cannot get the necessary amount of air into your lungs. Besides this, dog dander can cause allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, and hives.

Neurobiologists have discovered the secret to working much more efficiently

Neurobiologists have discovered the secret to working much more efficiently. Since the brain has a certain rhythm capable of maintaining focus on something for only an hour and a half, it is essential to properly distribute the load on the brain. Scientists recommend breaking the work process into parts: spend the first 20 minutes on the most challenging part of the task, and leave the simpler tasks for the following 40-70 minutes. After a 10-minute break, you can get back to work. The main condition is not to strain the brain for more than 4 hours a day. If the brain works beyond the norm, it won't have time to recover overnight, and fatigue will accumulate until the weekend.

How to Recognize a Regular Meditator in a Crowd?

No, there is no halo! It happens that people who meditate make annoying mistakes in communication. We can get angry, offended, and behave unfairly despite regular meditation practice.
