Things Worth Noting
Vitamin D is vital for bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption, but many face deficiency due to limited sun exposure, relying on supplements. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) from plants and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) from sunlight or animal sources are metabolized into 25-hydroxyvitamin D, measured in blood tests. Studies show vitamin D2 supplements can lower vitamin […]
Certain herbs and compounds may help prevent cancer by targeting tumor growth, metastasis, and inflammation while boosting the immune system.

Why does life begin only to end? This question probes the heart of existence, blending science, philosophy, religion, and psychology.

Philosophically, existentialism sees life as absurd, urging us to create meaning despite mortality, while nihilism views […]
The simulation hypothesis suggests our reality might be a computer-generated virtual world, like an advanced video game. Popularized by philosophers, it questions if we’re in a base reality or a digital construct created by a posthuman civilization. If true, “outside” could be a higher realm with advanced beings running ancestor simulations for research or entertainment. […]
