Baldness may be a sign of heart disease

A person's health directly depends on their lifestyle. Scientists have recently discovered many interesting things surrounding human health.

Bright Sidehas collected 10 recent medical discoveries that everyone needs to know.

The human brain begins to age at 25 years old.

Scientists from the Medical University of Gdansk, Poland and Lancaster University, UK, have discovered that from the age of 25, the frequency of spinal fluid impulses slows down. That is, the human brain begins to age from the age of 25, much earlier than the age of 40 that we often mistakenly believe.

Gym has more bacteria than toilet

The Fitrated gym team conducted a study and found that the risk of infection in a gym is much greater than in a public restroom. The study found that there were 326 times more bacteria in a gym than in any restroom.In addition, more than 70% of bacteria in the gym are potentially dangerous to humans, leading to colds or skin diseases.

The most germ-ridden areas in the gym are the bikes and treadmills. Experts recommend taking simple precautions like using antibacterial wipes, not touching your face during your workout, and not walking barefoot in the locker room or showers.

Sleep helps prevent sugar cravings

Scientists at King's College London, UK, conducted an experiment with 42 healthy volunteers.Participants in the experiment were asked to record everything they ate.The results showed that,An average increase in sleep time of about 21 minutes willReduce your sugar intake to 10 grams per day. Getting more sleep can also help reduce your sugar cravings.

Tea that is too hot may increase the risk of developing cancer

Chinese doctors claim that drinking tea that is too hot is bad for your health.Over nine years, doctors tracked the eating habits and health of nearly 500,000 people between the ages of 30 and 79.

Experts discovered that among these, there were 1,731 cases of esophageal cancer. The number of cancer patients who regularly drank hot tea was 5 times higher than those who did not have this habit.Therefore, doctors advise drinking hot tea below 65 degrees Celsius to avoid harming internal organs.

Dim light can make the brain function poorly.

Scientists at Michigan State University conducted a study on mice, demonstrating that being in a dimly lit room reduces brain performance.

A gloomy winter day has the same effect as a dimly lit room, making the brain function less efficiently.Researchers concluded that dim light reduces the connections between neurons, leading to a decline in intelligence. In other words, dim light can make you less intelligent.

Imagination can help relieve pain

Psychologist Kaya Peerdeman at the University of Leden made an interesting discovery while conducting research on the placebo effect: if you imagine that an injection will not hurt at all, you will actually feel less pain when you get the injection.

This was demonstrated in an experiment where participants were asked to place their arms in cold water for a period of time. They were then asked to do the same again but imagined that their hands were protected by a waterproof glove.

Surprisingly, the placebo effect worked, and participants actually felt less pain when they placed their hands in cold water.

Larger muscles are due to mutations in stem cells

A new study by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden shows that mutations in muscle stem cells can impair cell regeneration.

They found that by age 70, each stem cell has undergone more than 1,000 mutations. DNA “breaks” as a result of cell division. In young people, the nucleic acid repair mechanism works much better than in older people.Scientists now want to find out whether physical activity in old age can slow the progression of this disease.

Baldness may be a sign of heart disease

According to a study presented at the 69th Annual Conference of the Cardiological Society of India (CSI), baldness and premature greying of hair in adulthood are associated with a five-fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease before the age of 40. Obesity is also associated with a four-fold increased risk of premature heart disease.

More than 2,000 young people living in India were observed in this study. Scientists at the Indian Heart Institute found that people with cardiovascular diseases often had baldness or gray hair.Therefore, male pattern baldness in men under 40 years of age may be a sign of possible problems with the cardiovascular system.

Confidence helps the elderly not to collapse easily

Scientists at Aberdeen and Sterling Universities conducted a study and found that confident seniors were 19% more likely to be healthy and less likely to collapse than their less confident counterparts of the same age.

Living actively reduces the risk of memory loss

Scientists from Northwestern University observed a group of people aged 80-100 with no signs of mental illness. Most of them smoked, drank alcohol, drank coffee, and had no special diet. MSome people even eat unhealthy foods like french fries and hamburgers, none of them get the eight hours of sleep a night that doctors recommend.

All participants had in common optimism, emotional stability, and social engagement.The study's lead author, Professor Emily Rogalski, concluded that an active lifestyle protects us against dementia better than a good diet or not having bad habits.
