Things Worth Noting
The human brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex, matures around age 25, impacting decision-making, impulse control, and risk assessment. This delayed development explains youthful risk-taking due to ongoing neural reorganization, including myelination and synaptic pruning, enhancing cognitive efficiency. Understanding this developmental stage is crucial for education, policy, and behavioral interventions, as it affects how young adults […]
Microplastics in canned soda pose significant health risks and environmental concerns. These tiny plastic particles can leach into beverages from can linings, potentially causing inflammation and oxidative stress in consumers. Many plastics contain harmful additives like phthalates and BPA, which disrupt hormonal systems. Environmentally, microplastics contribute to pollution, harming aquatic ecosystems and entering the food […]

Autophagy is a cellular recycling process triggered by fasting, where cells degrade damaged components for energy or new material. Initiated by nutrient scarcity, it involves forming autophagosomes that fuse with lysosomes to break down contents. Short-term fasting boosts autophagy, aiding in cellular cleanup, disease prevention, and metabolic health. Benefits include longevity, improved insulin sensitivity, and […]
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are linked to numerous adverse health outcomes, including cognitive decline, increased risk of mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and higher chances of cardiometabolic diseases and premature death. Studies show that diets high in UPFs can lead to measurable negative changes in brain function, affecting memory and learning. The consumption of […]
