Danish physicists have created the smallest record in the world.

Salty food increases stress levels.

These conclusions were reached by Scottish scientists in the course of experiments on mice. One group of rodents was fed salty food for 2-8 weeks - the dose was about the same as in human food. The second - sat on a normal diet. A blood test showed that the mice in the first group had elevated levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone.” Also, after euthanasia, brain tissue samples were taken from rodents. They found increased activity of genes that produce proteins responsible for the response to stress. This effect appeared after only two weeks of the high-salt diet. Probably people are affected too.

Narcissism combined with high testosterone makes men more generous.

The experiment involved 151 men from Poland. They took psychological tests to assess narcissistic personality traits, passed testosterone levels and participated in an economic game that determined their ability to share with others. The most generous were men who were not in love with themselves and had a normal level of the hormone. However, testosterone-boosted daffodils were just as generous. The most greedy were men with narcissistic traits and low testosterone levels, as well as men without a narcissistic complex with high levels of the hormone.

By the end of the century, 97% of animal and plant species may die in Antarctica.

Antarctica is home to two flowering plants, mosses, lichens, numerous microorganisms and invertebrates such as roundworms, and hundreds of thousands of seabirds, including emperor and Adélie penguins. The latter are in the most vulnerable position.

Try to find joy in the simplest things:

I am grateful to be alive. I have relatives and friends (beloved person, children - continue this list yourself ...). I have friends (at least one close friend or girlfriend for sure!). I enjoy meeting interesting people. (Again - if they are not yet on the horizon, look for them, and they will be found). I have a roof over my head (it doesn't matter if it's my own or rented, a big house or a modest odnushka). I have a desire for success and prosperity (or maybe you are already successful and rich! But even if you are just on your way to this, that's great too!). I have a favorite job (if it doesn’t exist yet, then there is at least a job that feeds you, and also, you probably have a hobby for the soul). I know how to enjoy the sun, the singing of birds and the smiles of passers-by. I thank fate and God for every day I live, because it brings me so many discoveries!

Just be

No matter how many times in life we say "I love", no matter how many people we confess our feelings, no matter how many our body desires, but with only one of them you can experience what I dare to call the "orgasm of the soul." When even touches are not needed in order to be imbued with an extraordinary feeling of euphoria from the mere thought that there is an extraordinary, special person on Earth, capable of giving great happiness. And he does not need to be some kind of super-gifted, super-talented, famous or unthinkably beautiful for this. He just needs to be...

What takes away feminine energy?

Man and woman are two different evolutionary branches, and the difference between them is not limited to "pistils and stamens." Something that does not affect a man at all can bring a woman to a complete breakdown and depression. One of the most exhausting things in the world for a woman is a mess in the house or workplace. We are collectors. Our eye captures any mess, even one that a man will not pay attention to. A woman is an emotional being. Our emotions are so strong, uncontrollable and mobile that they can exhaust us, exhaust us even on vacation. The most basic scourge of all women on the planet, starting with Eve, is guilt. Have you ever wondered why it was Eva who plucked that apple? Yes, precisely because it is easier to blame everything on a woman! To avoid wasting money, remember the rule of three NOTs: don't yell over a mess, don't gossip too much, and don't take the blame.

Stop dreaming your dream and start taking little steps

Daydreaming and imagining your achievements is a big mistake. You need to constantly think about what you want and visualize the result in detail. Because, this way, a person not only ceases to be present and self-aware, but also plunges into a fantasy world, when he could have begun to act on bringing his dream to life. Let's say that in order to find a dream job, you first need to at least post a resume. In this sense, its potential power is greater than that of visualizing a comfortable personal account and faith in being hired.

Zoologists first met pink iguana cubs.

On the island of Isabela in the Galapagos archipelago, scientists for the first time discovered nesting sites for pink conolophos, rare iguanas officially discovered only in 2009. In the same area, zoologists first met the cubs of these reptiles. It turned out that their coloring is different from adults. Baby pink conolophos are yellow or lime with black spots and stripes. This camouflage makes them invisible among plants. But despite this, iguanas rarely survive to sexual maturity due to feral cats and invasive rats.
