Why do we get angry and nervous when we are hungry.
The more time passes since the last meal, the less nutrients circulate in the blood. This includes lowering glucose levels. And if the values change significantly, the brain regards this as a potential threat to life and sends signals to release regulatory hormones. One of them is adrenaline, the hormone of fear. After the release of adrenaline into the blood, the emotional state is similar to that which occurs with a strong fright. A surge of this hormone can be accompanied by bouts of aggression or anger.

Exhaust fumes can disrupt brain connections in as little as two hours.
These findings are based on a study of 25 healthy adults who were exposed to vehicle pollution in a laboratory setting. In another step, participants were also exposed to clean, filtered air. Computer scans showed that after inhaling the fumes, connections between areas of the brain that are responsible for functions such as introspection and memory decreased. Scientists warn that chronic exposure to polluted air can be detrimental to the brain. This is especially dangerous since up to 99 percent of the world's people live in unclean environments.

Are low fat foods good?
This is a marketing ploy. These 2 magic words explain everything. Do you know what 100% fat free food tastes like? Like a piece of cardboard. You wouldn't eat it. Food manufacturers know this and are trying to compensate. How? Use sweeteners: sugar, fructose, corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Many studies show a link between high doses of sweeteners and the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. In fact, fat-free foods are foods that replace natural and healthy fats with artificial substances that are bad for the body.

Antidepressants cause emotional dullness.
SSRI antidepressants cause emotional blunting. This is a state in which emotions and reactions are poorly expressed, feelings lose their brightness, understanding of the intricacies of communication with people disappears, and the expressiveness of facial expressions decreases. These conclusions were reached by scientists from Cambridge during a study involving 66 people who took a placebo or the drug escitalopram for three weeks, and then underwent cognitive tests. Scientists used to think it was one of the symptoms of depression, but now they've figured it's a side effect of the drugs.

Belief in paranormal phenomena can impair sleep.
This was found out with the help of an experiment in which 8,853 people took part. All of them answered a series of questions regarding their sleep and their relationship to supernatural forces. They noted that such subjects had low sleep duration and increased symptoms of insomnia. In addition, some people have experienced sleep paralysis, in which the person is self-aware and awake but unable to move. Researchers suggest that belief in the paranormal causes anxiety that interferes with sleep. Fear of encountering ghosts can interfere with a night's rest, and this does not only apply to children.

Posture, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
Slouching can increase stress on the sympathetic nervous system in several ways. First, when you slouch, your ribcage contracts, resulting in restricted breathing. This can lead to shallow breathing and an increase in breathing rate, which triggers the body's stress response. Chronic muscle tension can also activate the sympathetic nervous system and make the body feel like it is in a constant state of stress. The sympathetic system triggers the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which can increase heart rate and constrict blood vessels in the body. When this reaction is activated over a long period of time, it can lead to an increase in blood pressure and an increased risk of developing hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Cortisol also contributes to weight gain!
