Are YOU showing early signs of DEMENTIA?
I feel so much better. Hmm. Now, where did I park my car?
biomimetics
Excellent point about this.
Humanity’s greatest innovations
start by studying the wild.
Our first understanding of medicine
came from watching the changes in eating habits
of sick or injured birds.
This continues today,
like how fish influence automobile aerodynamics,
or how the idea for Velcro came from burs on a dog
or the way bees taught the beauty industry
how to build an empire using, almost exclusively, bulimia.
Who’s the oldest? (Biology)
The oldest human in record is called Jeanne Calment who lived to 122 years old and died in 1997. Shirechiyo Izumi is from Japan and he lived to 120 and dies in 1986. Elsewhere in the world there are said to be people that have lives longer, this is unconfirmed.
Best Butt Workout
These exercises are the exact same ones I do everyday to keep my Gluteus Maximus at its best. Firm, toned, plump, some even call it a bubble butt. But hey- I worked for years to get the ass I have today! It takes time, so don’t give up.
Try this workout for three weeks to knock off 2 inches from your derrière!

Crazy Facts About The Deodorants We Use Every Day
Sweating is a biological function. Still, people go to great lengths to disguise or conceal the odor of their sweat. The antiperspirants industry is a multi-billion dollar sector. Even though people use such products every day, most are unaware of some surprising deodorant facts.
Body Odor Resentment
This isn’t a modern phenomenon. The use of perfume can be traced back to ancient Egyptians. The first trademarked perfume was released in 1888 with the first antiperspirant following one and a half decades later.
Deodorant and Bacteria
Sweat is odorless. The stench is caused by bacteria on the skin that break down some sweat types. Some antibacterial powder is put into deodorants in order to stop the odor before it starts, while antiperspirants deal with sweat.

It is no secret that regular, moderate exercise is great for health and well-being. It only takes a brisk, daily walk to significantly improve physical, as well as mental health. Our cardiovascular systems become more efficient and resistant to disease, the blood itself becomes more potent and ready for action, we lose that stubborn fat that can slowly bring about ailments and failing overall health, and our bones and joints become stronger and better supported. So that’s that then, exercise is great, no point in investigating any further?
Absolutely not! Aside from simply gaining a better comprehension on the way our magnificent bodies work, understanding the mechanisms behind exercise-induced, beneficial adaptations is a vital tool in the development of treatments and medicines. For instance, studying the various ways that exercise causes glucose to be uptaken…

Will you live to 100?
100 and able bodied with a sound mind sounds very good!
If you are a British Citizen you will receive a telegraph from the monarch on your 100th birthday. People are living to 100 years old a lot more frequently now-a-days. The Queen only sent out 255 centenary (a letter congratulation you on your 100th birthday) in 1952. In 1999, Queen sent out 3,500! This is perfect evidence, it shows that we are living significantly longer since the mid-1900s. Living longer tends to be genetic. So if you dad lives to 100, you are more likely to as well.
