Sleep Deprivation Can Lead to Alzheimer's

Sleep deprivation can lead to Alzheimer's and even dry out the brain. Scientists have found that poor sleep reduces parts of the brain that are particularly vulnerable to Alzheimer's, increasing the risk of the disease.

Salina Turda: From Salt Mine to Entertainment Center

The Romanian salt mine Salina Turda has been transformed into an underground entertainment center. Salt extraction began in this location as early as the 11th century and ceased in 1932 due to economic non-feasibility, after which the mine was used as warehouses and a bomb shelter. A tourist complex was established there in the 2010s: since then, it features a Ferris wheel, mini-golf, bowling, billiards, table tennis, and boat rentals.

The Most Dangerous Toy in History: Atomic Energy Lab

The most dangerous toy in history is the 'Atomic Energy Lab for Kids' with radioactive Uranium-238. The set was sold in the USA in the 1950s: inside were test tubes with real uranium ore (the authors assured there was no radiation risk if the instructions were followed), a Geiger counter, and other tools for 'exciting experiments'. This item was released due to the lack of strict safety standards for toys at the time, but it failed spectacularly due to radiation fears and a very high selling price.

Loneliness kills

Loneliness kills. Scientists conducted a large-scale study with 42,062 participants and found: 175 proteins are associated with complete social isolation, while 26 are linked to the feeling of loneliness. Half of these proteins are associated with increased risk of stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases over the next 14 years. When you feel lonely, the level of 'bad' proteins in your blood increases; this directly affects your immune system, opening doors to viruses and slowly killing the body. Having even one friend or close person can remove all negative effects.

Matthew McConaughey and screenwriter Nic Pizzolatto ('True Detective') are together again - this time for a feature film about private detective Mike Hammer.

An important note: such foods should not be consumed by people with gastritis and heartburn.
