The Power of Sleep: How it Enhances Memory

Did you know that you become smarter while you sleep? One of the most valuable functions of sleep, often overlooked, is memory processing. Thanks to this process, short-term memories and impressions are 'recorded' into long-term memory. The processing of memory is primarily influenced by various stages of REM sleep. If you spend enough time in this phase, everything is wonderful, but if your REM sleep is disrupted, both memory and health can suffer.

Fresh, high-quality beef liver has a dark, even, smooth, and shiny cut, and when pressed on the surface, it quickly regains its shape, being firm and resilient.

American Scientists Grow Tooth Enamel

American scientists have grown tooth enamel. Miniature teeth that synthesize ameloblast cells - cells that produce proteins that later mineralize, forming enamel - have been created in the United States. This is the first time that enamel has been obtained artificially. In the near future, it is possible to expect living fillings for treating cavities and laboratory-grown teeth instead of traditional implants.

Yoga Sessions with Capybaras: Finding True Serenity amidst Distractions

An American woman launched yoga sessions with capybaras, which instantly became a sensation in the region. Tickets for the classes were sold out within a few days. The idea behind this unique form of yoga is that capybaras will deliberately distract participants from meditation and exercises, helping them achieve true tranquility.

Microdoses of LSD: The Surprising Benefits

Microdoses of LSD extend sleep by 24 minutes. Scientists explained that microdoses of compounds such as LSD or psilocybin can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as potentially enhance creativity and productivity. However, the dose was tens of times lower than what is necessary to induce hallucinations.

Scientists reveal the foods that can make you less intelligent

Scientists have determined which foods can make you less intelligent tomorrow. The consumption of products such as white bread, chips, ice cream, yogurt, fast food, cereals, and sausages accelerates the decline of cognitive and executive abilities by 28% and 25% respectively. Researchers from Cambridge University arrived at this conclusion after analyzing over 10,000 individuals.

Scientists Discover Genetic Variant Limiting HIV Spread

Scientists have discovered a genetic variant that limits the spread of HIV. An international group of researchers has identified a new genetic variant in individuals of African descent that appears to restrict HIV replication after infection. The discovery was made through a combined analysis of nearly 3900 people. It could aid in the development of new antiviral drugs, similar to previous studies. However, scientists note that genetic resistance to HIV is likely associated with a complex interaction between two or more genetic variants, rather than a single exclusive characteristic.

Scientists invent a way to lose weight without leaving your chair

Scientists have come up with a way to lose weight without getting up from your chair. By putting strain on the cymbal-shaped muscle located on the back of the shin, blood sugar levels decrease much more effectively than when putting strain on all other muscles in the body combined.

In South Korea, an Innovative Healing Bed is Invented

AIGEM-Y300, a new medical bed developed in South Korea, has the ability to determine the user's posture and adjust to it accordingly. This revolutionary bed helps alleviate stress through the use of acoustic resonant actuators, provides massages, emits ultraviolet light, and collects health data for doctors. In case of emergencies, the bed can also initiate an immediate call for help.

Scientists Find Microplastics in Human Heart

Scientists have found microplastics in the human heart. In an experiment, researchers collected tissue and blood samples from fifteen individuals who underwent heart surgery, and then analyzed the obtained data. They identified particles ranging in size from 20 to 500 micrometers, made of eight types of plastic, including polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, and polymethyl methacrylate. The researchers say they have provided preliminary evidence that various microplastics can accumulate and persist in the heart and its internal tissues.

Sweet carbonated drinks may cause liver cancer

Sweet carbonated drinks can cause liver cancer. About 100,000 postmenopausal women who consumed sugar-sweetened beverages daily were observed, and the mortality rate from liver disease was several times higher than those who consumed them three times a month or less. Scientists have already proved the link between highly processed foods and carbonated drinks with obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.

Scientists develop a 'fat-burning pill' that allows eating anything without gaining weight

Scientists from the USA have created a 'fat-burning pill' that allows people to eat anything they want without gaining weight. They have developed a medication that speeds up metabolism in the body and makes it more efficient at breaking down sugar and fat, lowers cholesterol, and supports liver health, regardless of the diet.

Nuts can help with depression

Nuts can help with depression. Scientists from Spain have found that eating a few cashew or peanut nuts a day can reduce the risk of depression by 17%. However, they should not replace a visit to a psychologist.

Future Fitness Gadgets Will Control Human Genes

In Switzerland, scientists have developed a technology that allows controlling the functioning of genes using small electrical impulses. This means that in the future, devices will be able to control various processes in the body at the right moment, for example, triggering insulin production in diabetes. The technology has already shown its effectiveness in laboratory conditions.

Daily walks of 4000 steps reduce the risk of death

Daily walks of 4000 steps have been found to lower the risk of death. Scientists analyzed data from 17 studies involving 226,889 individuals to determine the number of steps needed for a positive health effect. It was discovered that at least 3967 steps per day reduce the risk of death from any cause, while at least 2337 steps decrease the danger of cardiovascular diseases.

Vacation Tan Damages Beneficial Skin Bacteria

Researchers have found that four weeks after vacation, the participants in the experiment had significantly reduced diversity of skin microorganisms, even among those who did not acquire a strong tan. Over time, the number of bacteria recovered. Scientists believe that such fluctuations are a worrisome sign, as a sharp change in microbiota diversity can lead to conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis.
