Why do human live longer than other mammals?

Scientists may have just discovered a major key to the search for immortality by discovering that our lifespan is inextricably linked to the rate by which our cells undergo genetic mutations. Although it is logical to assume that our probability of death increases as these mutations accumulate over time, such a hypothesis fails to account for an inconsistency known as the Peto paradox. If death depends on the accumulation of somatic mutations, then larger species with more cells should receive more mutations and therefore have shorter lifespans. For example, the authors found that human cells undergo an average of 47 replacement mutations per year, giving us an average lifespan of 83.7 years.

Fresh onions and garlic help thin the blood

   They also reduce blood "bad" and increase "good" cholesterol and protect enzyme systems from free radical damage. Results can be expected if you persistently eat half a medium-sized onion or a slice of garlic every day.

How the brain gets tired from mental work

  The brain uses our body's energy sources, glucose and ATP, even more actively than our muscles! And at some point the strenuous mental process runs out of ATP. This does not affect muscles and other organs, as they have their own energy depot. However, the brain notices the lack of energy. This is manifested by distraction, inability to concentrate, temporary deterioration of memory. This condition can be corrected by a full meal and a healthy sleep, after which the brain "reloads" and is ready to get to work again.

Mosquitoes carry some of the most dangerous disease

Malaria, yellow fever, Zika fever, dirofilariosis, meningitis, tularemia... Perhaps the mosquitoes are most often shadowed by malaria. This is a life-threatening disease, transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes - vectors of the genus Anopheles. In the territory of our region this species is almost not found.  However, there is a theoretical possibility that a "normal" mosquito will bite an infected person and then bite another person. In this case, the possibility of malaria transmission is quite high.

Is daytime nap useful?

A short daytime nap, not even more than an hour, will help neutralize excess cortisol (the stress hormone). Such a break is generally refreshing, reduces the risk of migraines, headaches, and promotes recovery.  In addition, it helps to restore the regimen. According to experienced doctors, the opinion that daytime sleep will make it hard to fall asleep at night is nothing more than a myth. And a short rest during the day, on the contrary, will have a beneficial effect on the mode
