In the group of subjects who did not receive caffeine during sleep deprivation, the opposite result was observed: the volume of brain matter increased.

Scientists Defeat Aging

Scientists have defeated aging, Americans have invented a pill that extends life by 25%. The drug acts on the protein interleukin-11, which causes aging. Tests on mice were successful: their fur and muscles improved. Now scientists are preparing to test the drug on humans.

Scientists Discover Lead and Arsenic in Feminine Hygiene Tampons

In total, they analyzed 60 samples representing 30 unique tampons. All 16 studied metals were present in all samples. The highest concentrations were observed for zinc and calcium, and the lowest for arsenic. Among the toxic metals, the highest concentration was of lead - 120 nanograms per gram. Further research will determine whether the metals can leach out of the tampons and penetrate through the epithelium into the systemic bloodstream.

American Startup Develops Innovative Helmet

An American startup has created an innovative  helmet that stimulates hair growth and reduces hair loss. According to numerous studies, the Graphene Times device interacts with minoxidil-based lotions, enhancing the activity of hair follicle cells. After the emergence of this gadget, the number of trips to Turkey for hair loss treatment could be halved.

Scientists Defeat HIV

Scientists have managed to develop a drug that provides 100% protection against the virus. The results of the drug Lenacapavir were so convincing that the commission halted trials to make the injections available to those in need faster. Of the 2136 women who received the first injections, not a single one was infected. The downside is that for 100% protection, two injections per year are needed, each costing $21,125. But scientists hope to solve the issue of price as well.

The Best Anti-Aging Products

The best anti-aging products include: avocado, blueberries, eggs, gelatin, onions and garlic, broccoli, spinach and greens, pine nuts, soy and other legumes, green tea, honey.

Anti-Aging Nutrition

The rules for the anti-aging menu are quite simple: daily diet should include at least 400 grams of fruits and vegetables; the basis of the diet should be plant-based food: legumes, grains, vegetables; dairy products should be consumed daily; fats should preferably be plant-based; the amount of sweets and red meat should be minimized. These products should not be consumed daily. Since one of the problems of aging is sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), daily consumption of protein sources (fish, eggs, meat) is necessary. Anti-aging recipes will include a large amount of vegetables and fruits. Preference should be given to fresh greens rather than heat-treated or canned ones. The most common cooking methods in the anti-aging menu are boiling, baking, and steaming. Caution should be exercised when grinding food in a blender to a uniform consistency. Despite some advantages, this processing increases the absorption of sugars.
