A high pillow is unhealthy.

If the pillow is high, then the head will rise above the level of the back, which has an adverse effect on the vessels and worsens the outflow of blood from the brain. This is especially evident in the morning: stiffness and pain in the neck are the first alarm signal to think about the sleeping position and the pillow. Too high a pillow is as harmful as too low.

Scientists have found a way to fight depression: for treatment it is enough not to sleep.

The researchers conducted an experiment on two groups of people: the first suffered from depression, and the second were completely healthy. Some of them spent a night without sleep, as a result of which they complained about their well-being and mood, but 43% of patients with depression noted an improvement in mood.

Paracetamol and ibuprofen could be made from pine.

British scientists have synthesized paracetamol and ibuprofen from a pine component that is a waste product of the paper industry. The discovery will help make the production of drugs more environmentally friendly and cheaper. Traditionally, these two most popular painkillers in the world have been synthesized from chemical precursors found in crude oil. This is a problem for pharmacology: now the world is trying to abandon the production of hydrocarbons, moreover, their prices are unstable. New technology solves it.

There was a packaging warning about dangerous bacteria in products.

Canadian scientists have created a packaging tray that reports the presence of salmonella, E. coli, listeria and other dangerous bacteria in raw meat and other products. The tray has sloping sides. Thanks to them, the juice from the food flows to the sensor at the bottom of the package. Its indicators can be read using a special mobile application. So buyers will be convinced of the safety of products. Such technology will replace expensive and time-consuming food tests in laboratories, and will also reduce the number of poisonings. Every year, up to 600 million people are affected by infections due to tainted food.

AI has found new substances that allow you to fight aging.

The researchers trained the model on known examples of substances. As a result, she learned to distinguish between them and was able to predict what else could be used as senolytics. Artificial intelligence checked the initial 4340 molecules and identified the 21 most suitable ones. To do the same work manually would require a huge amount of time and money just to buy connections. The scientists then tested these drug candidates on two types of cells: healthy and aging. The results showed that the three compounds were able to destroy aging cells while maintaining healthy ones.

How to relax on the weekend.

1. Leave work empty-headed. In order to forget about work on the weekend, which has already taken enough energy from you for the week, try to discard all thoughts by leaving home on Friday. 2.

Stop, take a few conscious, deep breaths, and fix yourself in the present moment.

Scientists have calculated that living near parks and forests rejuvenates people by 2.5 years.

The scientists looked at the data of 924 people, taking into account the number of trees near their homes, and then compared the information with the results of blood tests and other parameters. It turned out that people whose housing within a radius of five kilometers is 30% surrounded by forests and parks were biologically younger than those who had less access to green spaces.

The jocks were more resistant to Alzheimer's disease.

Scientists from the US, England and Denmark have identified a link between muscle mass and dementia. It turned out that athletic, muscular people have a lower risk of developing dementia.

5 conditions for proper foot massaging.

1. It is advisable to spend every evening, before a night's rest. 2. Before the massage, you should walk barefoot for several minutes, stretching your feet: rise on your toes, trample, alternately transferring the weight of the body from the inner edges of the feet to the outer ones. Then - take a warm foot bath. 3. An important point of self-massage is the convenience of a posture that provides relaxation of the foot: - sitting, with a bent leg, when the foot lies on the thigh of the other leg; - sitting, with the foot on the support, when the foot is located on the seat of the chair; - reclining-half-sitting on a chair, when the leg rests slightly on the edge of the chair; - lying on your back with a raised bent leg. 4. Massage is carried out with warm warm hands. 5. General massage of each foot should be done for at least 3 minutes.

Pay attention to the alcohol content with denatured alcohol in the composition if you have sensitive skin.

Humans will be able to "grow" a third set of teeth.

Japanese scientists are confident that they have found a cure that will allow you to grow new teeth. They discovered a protein that limits tooth growth. The new drug blocks this protein, which promotes tooth growth. Tests on mice were successful. Human clinical trials will take place in 2024.

Vitamin D reduces the risk of heart attack.

Vitamin D may reduce the risk of heart disease in people over 60 years of age. The effectiveness of the supplement is enhanced if the person is taking medication for heart health. These conclusions were made by Australian scientists in the course of a six-year study involving 21,000 residents of the country aged 60-84 years. It turned out that those who regularly took vitamin D all this time, a heart attack occurred 19% less often than in the placebo group.

Scientists have found thousands of times more germs on pillowcases than on a toilet seat.

According to surveys, the average person changes pillowcases once every three weeks, while dermatologists recommend doing this at least twice a week. Otherwise, sleep can cause allergies, skin infections, and skin inflammation. One type of bacteria found on pillowcases is Staphylococcus aureus. It causes skin and soft tissue infections such as boils and deeper lesions.

Japanese researchers have learned to kill cancer cells with a single injection.

Japanese researchers have developed a new technique that could potentially treat multiple types of cancer with a single injection of the drug. It also causes fewer side effects. Scientists injected mice with a substance to emit small amounts of alpha radiation, which kills cancer cells but spares healthy tissue. The survival rate of experimental animals reached 100%. Doctors hope that this method can be used to treat cancer at a very early stage, even if it is not known exactly where the tumor is located. A variant of this technique is already being tested as a way to diagnose at the cellular level.

Scientists have found that gas stoves are more harmful than passive smoking.

According to the work of American researchers, the use of a gas stove can increase the concentration of benzene in the room. This figure is higher than with passive smoking, or even higher than the level observed near oil and gas facilities. Low temperature stoves and gas ovens also emit significant amounts of benzene. However, even low doses of benzene in the air increase the risk of developing various types of cancer, including lymphomas and leukemia.

In the US, a neural network has been created to detect caries in dental images.

It will simplify the work of dentists and will become the basis of mobile applications for initial self-diagnosis. She was trained on photographs of the upper and lower jaws of several hundred patients. The algorithm identified the destructive process with an accuracy of 79.5%. He managed to find more than 83% of the affected teeth and correctly determine the boundaries of caries in almost 80% of the enamel areas.
