Supercomputer has predicted global extinction of species by 2100.

With the help of a supercomputer, researchers have created hundreds of virtual copies of the Earth, each inhabited by more than 33,000 species of vertebrates. The models made it possible to analyze how organisms would react to likely climate changes in the future. It turned out that by 2050, local ecosystems will lose on average from 6% to 10.8% of vertebrate species, and by 2100 the figure could increase to 27%. The fastest decline in diversity is observed between 2020 and 2050. This suggests that the next few decades will be decisive for our future. The researchers emphasize that biodiversity on the planet ensures human health, food security and water availability. They also call for fighting the climate crisis, as healthy ecosystems can protect us from floods or extreme droughts.

Zodiac signs that believe in love at first sight. Gemini.

Love for the ever-changing Gemini is not an easy feeling. However, most representatives of this air sign know for themselves that it can be born at a glance. Moreover, the stage of courtship and the start of relationships (even if they quickly exhaust themselves) is their favorite period, because flirting, from the first innocent glances at the object of sympathy, ending with outright SMS, is the trump card of Gemini. It seems to the Twins, who have submitted to the arrows of Cupid, that “this time it’s definitely forever.” But as soon as life does not go according to the scenario prescribed in the imagination, they are immediately disappointed in the relationship, and love no longer seems to be love at all, and the Gemini who fell in love with lightning speed just as quickly cool down.

Already in the credits, we are given to understand that “diets don’t work” and that after them we gain even more weight, drawing an analogy with a loan: taking a certain amount, we return it with interest.

"Sugar" One of the most high-profile films about sugar and its effect on the body is built around the personal experience of Australian Damon Gamo, the main character and director of the tape. He experiments with himself by including in his balanced diet the "hidden" sugars found in "healthy" foods: smoothies, juices, low-fat yogurts, cereals and muesli.

What does sugar do to our skin?

The answer is clear: it destroys. How it works, says a nutritionist. Not only sugar is harmful, but also foods with a high glycemic index, which quickly turn into sugar in the body. Simple carbohydrates such as: - refined sugar -White bread - instant porridge - fruit juices - desserts, etc. They cause a spike in insulin levels, which leads to permanent inflammation. High levels of insulin in the blood trigger the release of growth hormones, which increase sebum production, unregulated cell growth, and androgen production. Against the background of sugar inflammation, enzymes are produced that break down collagen and elastin, which leads to sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles. The processed sugar in the body is permanently attached to the collagen in the skin through a process known as glycation. In addition to accelerating aging, glycation can also aggravate acne and rosacea. In addition, the more sugar you eat, the more likely you are to develop insulin resistance, which can manifest as excessive hair growth (hirsutism) and dark spots on your neck, armpits, and elbows.
