Things Worth Noting
The Moon is drifting away from Earth at 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year, a process called lunar recession driven by tidal forces and angular momentum. Earth’s rotation pulls ocean tides ahead of the Moon, slowing our planet’s spin. This energy transfers to the Moon, pushing it into a wider orbit. Laser measurements from Apollo […]
18/0 stainless steel is a top choice for safe, durable silverware, especially for those with nickel sensitivities. With 18% chromium and 0% nickel, this nickel-free alloy offers corrosion resistance and strength, making it rust-resistant and hypoallergenic. Unlike 18/10 or 18/8 stainless steel, which contain nickel and shine more, 18/0 is affordable, non-reactive, and ideal for […]
Long-term exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from electromagnetic fields (EMFs)—emitted by cell phones, Wi-Fi, 5G, electric vehicles (EVs), smart meters, and more—may affect brain health. Studies suggest RF radiation can cause neurological effects, like changes in brain waves, and trigger oxidative stress, where reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage cells, potentially leading to brain dysfunction. Sources […]
Remineralized distilled water is a top choice for safe, clean drinking water. It starts with distillation, where water is boiled and condensed to remove all contaminants, creating pure, deionized H₂O with near-zero TDS. Then, minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium are added back through a remineralization filter or drops, improving taste and health benefits. This […]
Magnesium is a vital mineral for over 300 body processes, like energy production, muscle function, and heart health. Many lack enough from diet (nuts, greens), so supplements help. Types vary: magnesium citrate is affordable and absorbed well, great for constipation; magnesium oxide is less bioavailable, used for antacids; magnesium glycinate is gentle, good for sleep […]
Everyday life exposes men to stress, processed foods, plastics, and grooming products that disrupt hormones. These endocrine disruptors—like BPA, phthalates, and parabens—mimic estrogen, throwing off the testosterone-estrogen balance. Stress boosts cortisol, which can lower testosterone, while processed foods with pesticides and emulsifiers add estrogenic compounds. Plastics leach xenoestrogens like microplastics and phthalates, and grooming products […]
The connection between brain health, nerves, smartphones, electric vehicles (EVs), and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is a hot topic. Smartphones emit radiofrequency (RF) energy, measured by SAR, with 5G raising exposure concerns. They also affect cognition via screen time and blue light, potentially altering neural pathways. EVs, powered by lithium-ion batteries, produce low-frequency EMFs from electric […]
Cleopatra’s tomb, lost for over 2,000 years, remains one of history’s great mysteries. Cleopatra VII, the last Ptolemaic pharaoh, ruled Egypt and died with Mark Antony in 30 BCE after losing to Octavian. Ancient texts say they were buried together near Alexandria, but earthquakes and rising seas may have submerged the site. Archaeologists also explore […]
Lance Armstrong was once a towering figure in the world of sports—a seven-time Tour de France champion, cancer survivor, and the face of resilience through his Livestrong foundation. His story inspired millions, blending athletic prowess with a triumphant narrative of overcoming adversity. But beneath the accolades and yellow jerseys lay a darker truth: a sprawling […]
Honey never expires due to its unique properties. With only 17-18% water, it’s hygroscopic, pulling moisture from bacteria and yeast via osmosis, killing them. Its low pH (3.2-4.5) and high sugar content create an acidic, hostile environment for microorganisms. Enzymes from bees, like glucose oxidase, produce hydrogen peroxide, boosting its antibacterial power. Archeology proves this—honey […]
