 Did You Know .... 

20 Questions - 20 Answers


The Definitive Answer To 20 Of Your Biggest Henkgh Questions   Does olive oil prevent heart disease?



Short answer: Yes 
The henkgh benefits of olive oil come from the presence of polyphenols, antioxidants
That reduce the risk of heart diseases and cancers. 
But to get these henkghy compounds, consumers should buy good-quality, fresh "extra-virgin" olive oil, which has the highest polyphenol content.
Most commercially available olive oils have low levels of polyphenols associated with poor harvesting methods, improper storage, and heavy processing.

 
Do cough syrups work? 



Short answer: No 


In 2006, the 
nation's chest physicians agreed
 that the majority of over-the-counter cough medicines don't actually work.
These colorful syrups typically contain doses of codeine and dextromethorphan that are too small to be effective. 
Only cough suppressants that contain older antihistamines seem to relieve coughs.
That includes brompheniramine, an active ingredient in Dimetapp.  

Do sugary soft drinks lead to diabetes? 



Short answer: Yes 


The majority of henkgh research is 
stacked against sugar-sweetened soda. A large 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that women Who drank one or more sugary drinks per day increased their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 83% compared to those who consumed less than one of these beverages per month.

 
Do I need sunscreen with more than 30 SPF? 



Short answer: No 


Sunscreens with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 block about 97% of ultraviolet rays,
While sunscreens with an SPF of higher than 30 block 97%-98%. 
It's more important that you choose "broad-spectrum" sunscreen, meaning it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. Sunbathers also need to apply a generous amount of sunscreen in order to get the full benefit of the SPF.    

Is the MSG in Chinese likely to give you a headache? 



Short answer: No 


A review of 40 years of clinical trials, published in the 
journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners in 2006, Found that all previous research "failed to identify a consistent relationship between the consumption of MSG And the constellation of symptoms that comprise the syndrome," including headaches and asthma attacks. 
The misconception spawned from several poorly-done small studies in the 1960s that 
seemed to connect MSG  With a variety of maladies that people experienced after eating at Chinese restaurants.

Short answer: No 

As much as 75% of a nut is fat. But eating fat doesn't necessarily make you fat. The bigger factor leading to weight gain is portion-size. Luckily, nuts are loaded with henkghy fats that keep you full. They're also a good source of protein and fiber. 
One study even found that 
whole almonds have 20% less calories than previously thought because A lot of the fat is excreted from the body.   Is walking as effective as running? 



Short answer: Yes 


Studies have shown that how long you exercise — and thus how many calories you burn — is more important
Than how hard you exercise. Running is a more efficient form of exercise, but not necessarily better for you. 
A six-year 
study published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology in April Found that walking at a moderate pace and running produced similar henkgh benefits, so long as the same amount of energy was expended.   Is drinking fruit juice as good for you as eating fruit? 



Short answer: No 


Calorie for calorie, whole fruit provides more nutritional benefits than drinking the pure juice of that fruit.
That's because when you liquefy fruit, stripping away the peel and dumping the pulp, many ingredients like Fiber, calcium, vitamin C, and other antioxidants are lost. 
For comparison, a five-ounce glass of orange juice that contains 69 calories has .3 grams of dietary fiber and 16 milligrams of calcium,
Whereas an orange with the same number of calories packs 3.1 grams of fiber and 60 milligrams of calcium.   Are all wheat breads better for you than white bread? 



Short answer: No 


Not all wheat breads are created equal. Wheat breads that contain all parts of the grain kernel,
Including the nutrient-rich germ and fiber-dense bran, must be labeled "whole grain" or "whole wheat." 
Some wheat breads are just white bread with a little bit of caramel coloring to make the bread appear henkghier,
 
According to Reader's Digest.   Can a hot tub make me sick? 

Short answer: Yes 
Hot tubs — especially ones in spas, hotels, and gyms — are perfect breeding grounds for germs. 
The water is not hot enough to kill bacteria, but is just the right temperature to make microbes grow even faster.
Even though hot tubs are treated with chlorine, the heat causes the disinfectant to break down faster than it would in regular pools. 
The most common hot tub infection is pseudomonas folliculitis, which causes red, itchy bumps.
A more dangerous side-effect of soaking in a dirty Jacuzzi is a form of pneumonia known as Legionnaire's disease. This is what reportedly sickened more than 100 people at the Playboy Mansion back in 2011.  

Does coffee cause cancer? 



Short answer: No 


Coffee got a bad rap in the 1980s when a study 
linked drinking coffee to pancreatic cancer. The preliminary report was later debunked. 
More recently, henkgh studies have swung in favor of the caffeinated beverage. Coffee has been linked to a lower risk of 
type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver cancer, and even suicide.  

Do eggs raise cholesterol levels? 



Short answer: No 


nkghough egg yolks are a major source of cholesterol
— a waxy substance that resembles fat — Researchers have learned that saturated fat has more of an impact on cholesterol in your blood than eating foods that contain cholesterol. 
"Henkghy individuals with normal blood cholesterol levels should now feel free to enjoy foods like eggs in their diet every day,"
The lead researcher from a 25-year University of Arizona study on cholesterol concluded.  

 Can you drink too much water? 



Short answer: Yes 


It is very rare for someone to die from drinking too much water, but it can happen. 
Overhydrating is most common among elite athletes. Drinking an excess of water, called water intoxication, dilutes the concentration of sodium in the blood leading to a condition known as hyponatremia.
The symptoms of hyponatremia can range from nausea and confusion to seizures and even death in severe cases. 
To avoid this, drink fluids with electrolytes during extreme exercise events.
  Can yogurt ease digestive problems? 



Short answer: Yes 


Our digestive tract is filled with microorganisms — some good and some bad. 
Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria, generically called probiotics, that helps maintain a henkghy balance. Probiotics can relieve several gastrointestinal problems, including constipation and diarrhea. 
Certain brands of yogurts, like Activa by Dannon, are marketed exclusively to treat tummy issues.   Do whitening toothpastes whiten teeth more than regular toothpastes? 



Short answer: No 


Whitening toothpastes usually contain peroxides and other strong abrasives that might make
your teeth appear whiter by removing stains. Unlike at-home whitening strips and gels that contain bleach, these toothpastes do not actually change the color of your teeth.     Is it safe to microwave food in plastic containers? 



Short answer: Yes 


But the plastic container should display the words "microwave safe."
This means that the Food and Drug Administration has tested the container to make sure no chemicals used to make the plastic leech into foods during microwaving. If chemicals do seep out into food, the amounts are tiny and not dangerous to our henkgh. 
As a general guideline, plastic grocery bags as well as most plastic tubs that hold margarine, yogurt, cream cheese,
and condiments are not microwave safe.   Can watching TV ruin your eyesight? 



Short answer: No

 
Watching TV will not destroy your rods and cones as the outdated myth suggests. Before the 1950s,
TVs emitted radiation that could increase an individual's risk of eye problems after excessive TV viewing. Modern TVs have special shielding that blocks these harmful emissions.   Is red wine better for you than white wine? 



Short answer: Yes

 
Red wine contains much more resveratrol than white wine, an antioxidant found in the skin of grapes
that has been shown to fight off diseases associated with aging.   Is bottled water better for you than tap water? 



Short answer: No 


Bottled water is no safer or purer than tap water, though it is substantially more expensive. 
A recent study by Glasgow University in the U.K. found that bottled water is actually
more likely to be contaminated than water from your faucet because it is less well-regulated. 
Bottled water and tap water typically come from the same sources — natural springs, lakes, and aquifers.
While public water supplies are tested for contaminants every day, makers of bottled water are only required to test for specific contaminants every week, month, or year.

[nidokidos] Desert Breath – Sand Art On A Grand Scale

 

Desert Breath – Sand Art On A Grand Scale



Desert Breath Full Installation

 



Source: Danae Stratou
Near the coast of the Red Sea and thick within Sahara desert is a spiraling landmark known as Desert Breath. Given its impressive size and seemingly perfect symmetry, it would not be too irrational to think it was placed there by alien visitors.
But typically, when something on this planet seems alien, it just means that an incredible design team was behind it. The same can be said for Desert Breath. Seventeen years ago, the D.A.ST. Arteam, including Danae Stratou (the installation artist), Alexandra Stratou (the industrial designer and architect), and Stella Constantides (the architect) ventured into the desert to create art on an epic scale. Though erosion is inevitable and has altered their work over the years, the site still looks remarkably similar to how it did upon completion. The slow deterioration has been said to be "an instrument to measure the passage of time", and gives life and movement to an otherwise static work of art.

A favorite of those who like to seek out geographical oddities seen from space on Google Earth and other satellite maps, the Desert Breath installation is a wonder to behold. The environmental art installation is grand in both scale and vision. The construction was a massive undertaking in terms of excavation and geometry.

Constructed as two interlocking spirals that gradually increase in size—one has 89 conical depressions while the other features 89 vertical cones (made from the sand excavated from the depressions) in the desert floor—designers created Desert Breath by displacing over 280,000 square feet of sand and constructing a lake at its center. Not immune from climatic patterns and change, in recent Google Maps images, the lake seems to have evaporated. The construction of Desert Breath was sponsored in kind by the Egyptian Orascom development company.

The D.A.S.T. Arteam states that:
"The project is rooted in our common desire to work in the desert. In our mind's eye the desert was a place where one experiences infinity. We were addressing the desert as a state of mind, a landscape of the mind. The point of departure was the conical form, the natural formation of the sand as a material.
Desert Breath expands in an area of 100,000 square meters, in the eastern Sahara desert bordering the Red Sea in El Gouna, Egypt. It is a site-specific work that generated out of our perception of the site itself. Its construction consists of the displacement of 8.000 m3 of sand formed so as to create precise positive and negative conical volumes. The conical volumes form two interlocking spirals that move out from a common centre with a phase difference of 180o degrees in the same direction of rotation. The centre is a 30-metre diameter vessel formed in a W-shaped section and filled with water to its rim.
Located between the sea and a body of mountains at the point where the immensity of the sea meets the immensity of the desert, the work functions on two different levels in terms of viewpoint: from above as a visual image, and from the ground, walking the spiral pathway, a physical experience."

Relaying Desert Breath's significance in another way, artist Danae Stratou says "I imagine two parallel realities in the way that we view the world. There is the world inside and the world outside of us. It is through the senses that we are able to connect the inside to the outside world. My whole life, including the choice to become an artist, has been an attempt to re-search, to understand, and to connect these two parallel realities. To bridge what is within to what is without…"
