1. AGING CAN BE HALTED BY HYDROGEN SULFIDE:-

New research by scientists from the University of Exeter in the UK discovered an important phenomenon of reversing the aging cells which interestingly involves minute traces of hydrogen sulfide gas 

Usually during aging cells slowly lose their activity and decline to multiply. These inactive cells accumulate and exceed the number of younger active cells as our age ascends. The process is known as senescence and the inactive aged cells are known as senescent cells

2. SKIN CANCER MAY PREDICT FUTURE CANCERS

It has been well understood that common skin cancer like melanoma can predict future cancers which may develop in other parts of the body.

3.DRUGS WHICH CAN ARREST CANCER CELLS MULTIPLY

A group of scientists from Australia now undergo researches on a class of drugs that are arresting the spread of cancer cells by inactivating two proteins such as KAT6A and KAT6B which are the driving forces for the cancer cells to multiply.

4.TYPES OF TUMORS

1.Benign Tumors which are noncancerous, harmless, and will not spread but rarely they may become premalignant and then malignant.

2.Premalignant Tumors which are cancerous but yet to become harmful. They may not spread at this stage.

3.Malignant Tumors which are at full cancerous state harmful and spread easily to other parts

5.DURATION OF SLEEP ON OUR HEALTH

Scientists at Keele University in the UK have studied the effects of sleep duration on our cardiac health.

They found that both reduced and too much sleep can produce harmful effects such as atherosclerosis, plaque formation, and inflammations.

But they wondered about their findings that excess sleep more than 9 hours is more harmful than reduced sleep.

6. HOOKAH SMOKING IS NOT HEALTHY

It was an old idea that traditional smoking like Hookah in which smoke is sucked through water bottles is lesser harmful than cigarette or cigar smoking.

But the idea is nullified by a recent statement by WHO which is supported by the researches from California University Los Angels that fruit and candy mixed tobacco crush which is used in hookah like traditional waterpipe smoking are also as dangerous as cigarette smoking.

7. GOJI BERRIES ARE HEALTHY DIETS

The following are the health benefits of Goji-berries:-

1. They are very beneficiary in reducing the risk of glaucoma

2. They contain a high content of antioxidants such as zeaxanthin which protect our body from UV radiation, oxidative stress, and free radicals.

3. They are rich in vitamins like A and C which improves our body immunity and help to fight cancer

4. They improve skin health as they contain beta carotenoids.

5. Goji berries improve insulin and cholesterol management of our body

6. They improve depression and mental health.

8.LICE BITES

Lice are external parasites lives in various parts of our and accordingly, they can be classified as follows:-

1. Head Lice:- They live in our head and settled at the base of the hair. Mostly they are harmless but can cause itching. They do not cause primary infections. Head lice feed on our blood by sucking. There are chewing lice which live on the skin and chew tiny debris present on the skin 
Lice infestation can be treated shampoo or lotion which contains pyrethrins(e.g: Permethrin), spinosad a natural insecticide present in bacteria, and ivermectin.
There are harmless natural remedies like Tea tree oil which can kill all the lice

9.PHARTOSMIA

Phantosmia is a kind of mental condition in which a patient feels some smell which actually not present. Phantomsmell or Phantosmia is mainly caused by sinusitis, bronchitis, and some problem in the nose or problem in the brain and nervous systems such as migraine,stroke, or schizophrenia.

10.WHAT TO EAT AFTER AN EXERCISE

1.Proteins

2.Carbohydrates

3.Healthy Fats

Heavy exercises such as weight lifting may cause minute tears in muscles which can be replaced by eating proteins such as, Eggs Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, and kefir.

Heavy exercises such as running can fastly deplete glycogen stores which can be replaced by eating or drinking carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, fruits, grains, and cereals which are the preferable source for carbohydrates.
Heavy exercise needs healthy fats to replace consumption.
Fatty fishes such as salmon fish are good sources of omega 3 fatty acids.
