Scientists Found a New Planet, but It Suddenly ...
The Hubble Telescope orbits our planet, looking out at the big unknown universe. Since it’s out of our atmosphere, the Hubble can see way further than telescopes on land. No clouds up there. This guy helped us confirm the theory about supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. It also discovered a whole bunch of new galaxies, including the world's oldest one, which is about 8 billion years older than our Milky Way! But let’s travel 25 light-years away to another special star. Fomalhaut. It's almost twice as big and heavy as the Sun. If you look at it from far away, you can see a bright yellow disk around it. It’s a debris disk, full of bits of space rock, and it’s huge. Scientists were curious about it, was all this space dust gonna get smooshed together and become a planet one day? But then they saw something else! Right there, through all that debris, was a massive mysterious object... #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

All Your Megalodon Shark Facts In One Video
Its full name is Carcharocles Megalodon, but some shark enthusiasts just call it “the Meg.” Whatever name it goes by, this giant was the biggest baddie of the ocean when it terrorized the waters 2 million years ago. Megalodon was the biggest shark of the ocean 23 million years ago. It could grow up to 60 ft, and its jaw bite was stronger than a T. Rex’s. Just imagine, the largest Megalodon tooth ever found is almost 3 times larger than the teeth you’ll find in the great white sharks of today! And the question is, does Megalodon still exist? Сould these scary sharks still be alive in the deepest parts of the ocean? Theories out there argue that these bad boys of the ocean are still around. As for science, it tells us that Megalodon sharks are extinct. But what if they live in the deepest place on Earth: the Mariana Trench? In our today's live stream, we're talking about all we know of Megalodon. By the way, you might think there was nothing that could stop them. However, even this massive shark had enemies, and their fights could be lethal... #megalodon #sharks #prehistoricanimals Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Photos: https://www.depositphotos.com East News ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

Your favorite red lipstick is the best at dealing with dark circles under the eyes. Apply it to the “arches” beneath your eyes, and add 2 layers of concealer on top. Contouring is big these days, and everybody has their own little trick to make it look natural and effortless.

Put your fingers in the bowl for just a minute, and then go on with your day! Use concealer to create a new lip outline.

Wait for it to dry, then take your lip pencil, draw a new lip contour. f you want to see their mind-blowing effect for yourself, divide your hair into strands, and wrap each strand around the middle of a sponge. Fold the sponge in half, secure it with a rubber band, and go to sleep. Believe it or not, but darkening of the underarms is a serious issue for many people. And if you're one of them, forget about all those expensive products and treatments. Your problem can be solved easily with the help of potatoes!

8 Things Every Dad Should Teach His Son
Although some think mothers play the most important role in a child’s life and upbringing, there are things that a father will certainly do better. Especially when it comes to a son. Just think: First, the boy comes under the supervision of kindergarten teachers, and then he goes to a school where women constitute 90% of teachers. He is always in the company of women, and he often lacks male education. You should know that there are eight things that only a father can give his child. The last lesson, number 8, is the most valuable on this list as it helps kids learn how to stay happy no matter what happens. Other videos you might like: 8 Lessons You Should Avoid Teaching Children • 8 Lessons You Should Avoid Teaching C... 18 Harmful Foods We Keep Giving to Children • Видео 7 Types of Child Behavior That Are Dangerous to Ignore • 7 Types of Child Behavior You Shouldn... TIMESTAMPS: Explain how important it is to know how to win and how to lose 0:47 Teach him the right attitude toward women 1:23 Have a man-to-man conversation about love 1:56 Teach him how to fight back 2:29 Enrich the child’s experience with new sensations 2:57 Teach him male tricks 3:32 Help him to master domestic duties 4:01 Help him to find his own view of the world 4:28 SUMMARY: Apart from friends, who is the best companion for a child in various competitions and games? Dad, of course. This is good training for masculine qualities. Through these games, the child will feel the taste of victory and realize how much effort it takes to reach it. Go to the store together and talk politely to the cashier so that your child doesn’t hesitate to communicate with unfamiliar women. That’s it. For a teenager, it’ll be a valuable gift if his father tells him about his first love and first dates and that he shouldn’t hurry because it’s better to wait for the right girl who will create a spark in his soul. A father is the only one who can properly teach his son to be strong and firm, to stand up for himself and what is right. Unlike mothers with stroking and caresses, fathers prefer active games with a "masculine character," such as tossing or spinning. Even if your child is 100% "urban," there’s no doubt that the ability to start a fire will come in handy for him in the future — at least for lighting a grill. You don’t even need to do anything special. Just be there from time to time, and talk to him. Your child needs to understand that there’s not only the mom with her requirements and expectations but also another person with a different approach.

Astronomers Might've Found a White Hole
What do black holes do? What do black holes really look like? The existence of black holes was predicted over a century ago with nothing but math equations. Now we’ve taken the first photo of one. But black holes still hold plenty of secrets. Like their even more mysterious mirror twins: white holes! Imagine if we could record a black hole on video. Watch it pull in and consume any matter that gets too close, even light itself!

It Takes Hundreds of Lives a Year, But Only 5% ...
How to Stay Safe in the Ocean. Any experienced lifeguard will warn you about a deadly phenomenon that claims the lives of more than 100 American beachgoers every year. In fact, about 80% of all rescues that lifeguards make have a connection to this danger. No, it’s not sharks or poisonous jellyfish or anything like that. The most treacherous thing that can happen to you in the ocean is a totally natural phenomenon called a rip current. The main reason why people lose their lives when stuck in a rip current comes down to panic. When they find themselves suddenly being pulled away from the shore at a high speed, terror ensues, they start to panic, wear themselves out in the fight, and drown because of it. What you should do instead is stay calm, take control of the situation, keep afloat, weigh your options, and don’t exhaust yourself. TIMESTAMPS What is a rip current and how is it so deadly? 1:02 How to identify a rip current? 4:10 What to do if you’ve been caught in a rip current? 4:52 Rip current research 6:50 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -A rip is basically a strong current on the surface of the ocean that flows away from the shore. The main danger of a rip is that it flows seaward away from the shore, so it can easily pull unaware swimmers with it. -It often looks like a calm patch of water between breaking waves, which at first glance seems like the best place to enter the water. But don't let the tranquility deceive you because you might inadvertently pick the most dangerous place to swim. -The first thing you absolutely must do is stay calm. Panicking does not help; in fact, it ends up costing people their lives when they’re overcome by it. Second, you need to conserve energy. DO NOT attempt to swim against the rip current toward the shore. -Dr. Jamie MacMahan, a professor of oceanography started his own research using GPS devices to track rip currents in France, England, and the U.S. Among the great number of currents he’s studied, only 10 to 20% did not return back to the shore. The rest of them moved in circles.

If You See Money on Your Windshield, Don't Touc...
Criminals keep coming up with new schemes to part car owners from their vehicles. In this video, you'll learn about yet another trick car thieves use to snatch your car from right under your nose. You'll also find out which cars are targeted the most frequently. TIMESTAMPS: How many cars are stolen in US daily 1:06 The states with the highest rate of car theft 1:38 The most targeted cars 2:10 When the largest number of car thefts occur 2:28 A ruse with money on your windshield 3:06 Kyri Viehman story 4:16 How you can detect a threat 5:14 Other criminal schemes 5:50 How you can avoid your car theft 7:49 #cartheft #cartricks Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: According to the FBI's statistics, 2 cars are stolen every minute in the US. This adds up to almost 3,000 cars a day! According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the most targeted cars are the Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Ford pickups, Chevrolet pickups, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Dodge pickups, Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Impala, and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The largest number of car thefts occur on Halloween, followed by Labor Day. On New Year's Day, the chances of losing your car are also pretty high. As soon as you get out of your car to get a closer look at this mysterious banknote, criminals will jump into action. They will get into your car and drive off at record-breaking speed. Walk around your car to check if anything is amiss before you unlock it and start the engine. One sure sign that you're in danger is an almost empty parking lot and another car parked next to yours with somebody sitting inside. A car thief may bump against your car to check if you have an alarm. Many car alarms are so sensitive that a loud motorbike or a rumbling truck can set them off. Some criminals cause car accidents on purpose. For example, they hit another car at the traffic lights. Sometimes you make the life of car thieves much easier without realizing it. Lots of people keep their spare keys inside their car or in a special magnetic box attached to the underside of their vehicle. Don’t leave your spare keys inside your car! Keep them at home, or ask your family members or friends to look after them. And make sure there isn't a set of spare keys in your car that you know nothing about.

12 Eye-Opening Facts About Bohemian Rhapsody Yo...
Bohemian Rhapsody was released on November 3, 2018, and the fascinating story behind one of the most influential groups ever continues to be unbelievably popular. However, some things shown in the movie kinda differ from the truth. TIMESTAMPS: The creators built an exact copy of Wembley Stadium for the movie 1:05 The Pepsi glasses you can see on the piano weren't a product placement 1:39 Queen didn't have any doubts about performing at Live Aid 2:17 Some of the vocal recordings for the film were done by Marc Martel 2:58 Mike Myers had previously appeared in a film listening to “Bohemian Rhapsody” 3:41 Queen didn't break the contract with EMI 4:20 Bohemian Rhapsody should've been directed by someone else 4:45 Freddie became a part of the band through Tim Staffell 5:12 “We Will Rock You” was written much earlier 6:04 Freddie Mercury wasn't the only one who tried to go solo 6:39 Freddie Mercury didn't know he was sick until 1987 7:29 The official soundtrack includes previously unreleased songs 8:24 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: The director of Live Aid was present during filming and was pleasantly surprised with how precise the reconstruction was. Some people pointed out that the creators added some very visible Pepsi product placement in the movie during the Live Aid scene. If you watch the original performance, you'll see these glasses on Mercury's piano too. But the true story is way less poetic than that. The pause in Queen's work didn't last for more than a year. Plus, in February 1984 they released a new album called The Works. Several years ago, Marc sent his cover versions of Queen songs to guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. They were amazed by the similarities between Marc's voice and Freddie’s. The actor, famous for his many roles, including Austin Powers, already listened to and even sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” in character in the movie Wayne's World! Queen did have some disagreements with EMI during the Night at the Opera era. Still, everything seemed to turn out all right since the band released many more albums with this label. The first person to take the director's chair was Bryan Singer, and he was actively working on the movie almost from the start. But 20th Century Fox decided to fire him. In the movie, we see Freddie meeting Roger and Brian after a concert when their frontman, Tim Staffell, decides to leave the project. But it wasn't exactly like that in real life. In real life, “We Will Rock You” appeared in Queen’s hit album News of the World back in 1977 — several years before the actual concert. Pretty much every participant of Queen was trying to make their own solo albums work! The official soundtrack of the movie contains not only several famous songs we all know by heart but another 11 recordings that had not been released!

A Unique Creature on Earth That Can Live Forever
Earth is the only planet in our solar system, our galaxy, and potentially our entire universe that sustains life. Us humans believe we’re practically indestructible, but it turns out there’s a unique creature tougher than us that can’t be killed. Meet the tardigrade, one of the most resilient animals in the world – and possibly the universe. TIMESTAMPS It’s also called the water bear. 1:18 It’s really small. 2:20 It’s really, really old. 3:08 It can live anywhere. 4:02 It’s (mostly) harmless. 5:00 It’s practically unkillable. 6:04 It survives extinction events. 10:45 It might survive on another planet. 12:33 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -A tardigrade is commonly called a water bear because it is most often found in water, where it prefers to dwell, and because of its slow gait, which resembles that of a bear. -The biggest full-grown tardigrade is about 0.5 mm or about 1/50 of an inch, which is smaller than flea and tick larva. -The earliest fossils we have of the tardigrade species date back to the Cambrian period, some 530 million years ago. -Tardigrades have been found on the high-altitude peaks of the Himalayas, in deep trenches in the ocean, in mud volcanoes, and in tropical rainforests. -These unique creatures move into a new environment and help to establish an ecosystem, not unlike a gold prospector setting up shop out in the frontier. -Many tardigrades can enter a dehydrated state to survive almost any dangerous outside environment. They curl up into a barrel shape, their bodies become glass-like, and they put themselves in stasis, during which time they’re pretty much indestructible. -The tardigrade has survived all possible extinction events, from the Ordovician-Silurian extinction 440 million years ago all the way up to the extinction events that took out the dinosaurs. -The conditions on Mars are within the tardigrades’ capabilities to survive, assuming that a sufficient amount of water exists to support them.

10 Signs Your Body Needs More Magnesium
Do you constantly feel tired, experience muscle spasms, and notice your eyes twitching? If so, there's a chance that your body is suffering from a magnesium deficiency. A magnesium deficiency can cause serious illness because too many processes in the body depend on it. That’s why you should stay alert and be able to spot a deficiency in time. So, what are some other symptoms of this condition and what can you do to feel better? Bright Side compiled a checklist of magnesium deficiency symptoms. To avoid magnesium deficiency in the future, decrease your consumption of alcohol, gluten, processed foods, and refined sugar. But before you proceed with any of this self-medication, make sure to consult your doctor first, get their permission, and follow their professional advice. TIMESTAMPS: Sugar cravings 0:45 Muscle soreness and cramping 1:19 Insomnia 1:56 Bone problems 2:37 Acid reflux 3:10 Stress and apathy 3:39 Constipation 4:26 Fatigue 4:55 Severe headaches 5:36 High blood pressure 6:14 Magnesium-rich foods 7:28 #magnesiumdeficiency #magnesiumrichfoods #magnesiumrichdiet Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: A burning desire to eat something sweet shows a lack of important nutrients, including chromium and magnesium. If you notice that you’ve started to experience muscle soreness and cramps regularly (and you haven’t been hitting the gym harder or anything), it could be your low magnesium levels to blame. If you lack magnesium, it’s not surprising at all if you develop insomnia and sleep troubles. Plus, a magnesium deficiency is closely connected to muscle cramps, right? This combo can cause restless leg syndrome. Low magnesium levels increase the risk of developing bone problems, especially fractures. And that’s because a low amount of magnesium reduces the level of calcium in your blood as well, making your bones a lot weaker. Magnesium prevents the release of food and stomach acid into the esophagus. So if your system lacks it, this process reverses, allowing acid to enter the esophagus. Insufficient magnesium basically equals anxiety and constant stress. And this is exactly why your depression may have nothing to do with your emotional side, it could be purely physical! The reasons why you may have constipation can vary from stress to a serious under-consumption of fiber. And, of course, magnesium can be a cause of it too! Persistent fatigue is a red flag you should always pay attention to. And here’s where magnesium could be the culprit. If you lack vitamins A, B, C, and D, it can lead to frequent headaches that usually affect only one side of your head, depending on the vitamin you're lacking. One study that was conducted by French researchers showed that magnesium deficiency increases blood pressure. Including more of magnesium-rich foods in your diet will help your system recover in just a few weeks.

7 Effective Ways to Get Rid of All Insects at Home
Are there any effective and harmless methods of getting rid of any insects? Unfortunately, the chemical pesticides sold in stores are way too toxic and harmful to be used anywhere near your home, family, or pets. If these chemicals can kill insects, surely they cannot be good for you! That's why it's better to use something natural and safe. TIMESTAMPS: Cockroaches 1:01 Ticks 1:57 Garden pests 3:37 Spiders 5:04 Ants 5:51 Dust mites 6:36 Weevils 7:56 #bugs #cockroaches #spiders Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: If you want to get rid of these pests, there are many products you can get from the store, but most of them are usually highly toxic. This can be especially dangerous if you have small kids or pets. Ticks can spread terrible diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, ehrlichiosis, and tularemia. Some of these conditions can be fatal. One of the ways to get rid of garden pests is to create a special repellent with the use of tobacco. This product is especially effective if you need to scare away worms, aphids, and caterpillars. This natural repellent won't kill spiders, but it will keep them away because they don't like strong smells. Ants absolutely hate the smell of cinnamon. That's why you should put cinnamon powder in places where you think the ants are entering. For more effective results, you can add some essential oil to the cinnamon powder. These things are so tiny that you can’t even see them with the naked eye. But unfortunately, if you don't see them, it doesn't mean they're not around. They live in household dust, prefer warmer places, and their favorite food is skin flakes. Weevils prefer grains and seeds but can also appear in flour or even pancake mix. The larvae of these bugs live and develop inside your food supplies. And you don't even suspect anything until one month after their birth when they suddenly appear in your food.

50 Things That Are Only Possible In Australia
What do you know about Australia? Which country has the longest fence in the world? How about the 2nd largest Greek population? Three times more sheep than people? One word will give it away: kangaroos. Yes, it's the Land Down Under. Australia is the world's 6th largest country and the only one that’s also a whole continent. But with all that territory, over 80% of Australians live within 60 miles of the coast. Before humans arrived, the continent was home to mega-fauna. If you’d lived there about 46,000 years ago, you’d be dead today. But you would’ve seen 10-foot-tall kangaroos, 23-foot-long goanna lizards, and ducks the size of an adult horse.

How Such Small Tires Can Land a Huge Plane
Airplanes are mysterious things: unimaginably heavy metal giants soaring through the sky, jam-packed not only with people but also all kinds of electronic gizmos. But look at the airplane's tires compared to the plane’s body – they're tiny! How can they withstand all that weight and speed? Let's check out what's happening when a plane is preparing to land on the runway. All 300 tons of your airplane touch the ground while still going 170 mph. Imagine your typical 2-story house, fully furnished, dropping to the ground as fast as a flying arrow - that must be quite the impact!

To make an airplane tire, producers use a mix of different kinds of synthetic rubber. It makes aircraft tires so strong that each of them can easily deal with a 38-ton load. The gas that fills aircraft tires is nitrogen. It doesn't react with rubber, which makes it a much safer choice for airplanes. The pressure in plane tires is 6 times bigger than the pressure in your car tires. It's 200 psi, and that's what you’d feel if you took a dive 450 ft underwater. There can be plenty of wheels on large airplanes, like an Airbus A380 or Boeing 747. And if one of the tires fails, the plane will still land safely. When a plane touches the ground, its tires aren't rolling at first - they're just skidding. In other words, the plane is dragging them along the runway until it slows down enough for the wheels to be able to rotate. Larger tires would be pointless since they wouldn't make landing more effective or safer. After plane tires are produced, they always get tested. Manufacturers create computer simulations that check how tires will behave if they're pushed past their speed limit or get overloaded. And still, airplane tires aren't entirely safe from bursting. Accidents did happen in the past, and planes did skid off runways because of one of the tires exploding mid-landing. Hydroplaning is a situation that occurs when the runway is covered with a layer of water preventing a landing plane from braking and stopping in time. The aircraft just keeps skidding forward, unable to find traction. That’s why some airports have grooves on the runway. Water flows into these grooves, making the surface not so slippery and dropping the chances of hydroplaning.

15 Body Parts That Reveal Your True Intelligence
We all have heard the stereotype that people who wear glasses are smart. According to a study from the University of Edinburgh, there might be some truth to this. According to science, there are many ways a person’s body features can influence on how smart they are. Some are more surprising than others. Your appearance can reveal all the darkest secrets about your health and character and even your brain power. Of course, this is all just fun science and if you don't have any of these characteristics, this doesn't mean that you're not smart. After all, you're the one responsible for your intelligence, right? Other videos you might like: 10 Signs You’re Way More Intelligent Than You Realize • 10 Signs You’re Way More Intelligent...

Rectangular, square, and triangular face shapes are more logical and success-oriented. People with a diamond-shaped face are perfectionists to the core, oval faced folks are welcoming and warm, and round-faced people are all about taking care of others. A big head is often accompanied by a broad forehead - another sign of exceptional intelligence. According to the popular Chinese face reading, a 5-finger forehead signifies high intelligence and skill. Complete ear symmetry is not that common, and it’s probably for the better, since studies say that a lack of it may be a signal of quick wit. Left-handed guys and girls usually have a larger corpus callosum, which allows them to process information really quickly. Their highly developed right-brain hemisphere helps as well. It’s no secret that an hourglass figure is considered to be the most desirable among women everywhere. But did you know that women who naturally have it are smarter too? A study from Chicago university that included no less than 1,200 women discovered that ladies with bigger chests are smarter by about 10 IQ points. Dr. Aikarakudy Alias, who has been working to find out the connection between body hair and intelligence for years, came to one simple conclusion - thicker body hair means higher IQ. If you feel insecure about your impressive height, here’s something that’ll cheer you up. A team of researchers from the Edinburgh University found a strong link between the genes determining your height and those responsible for your quick wit!

10 Clear Signs Someone's Controlling Your Phone...
How to know if someone's monitoring your phone? Safety should always be our top priority. We've gathered together some clear signs that someone is spying on your phone together with some instructions for those who're worried about being tracked. For example, one of the main signs someone is tracking your phone is the gadget running out of battery in no time. Batteries do age along with your phone, but if you've got it just recently, that's not normal. Does your phone freeze or take forever to load web pages? Some malware might be running in the background, preventing the gadget from operating normally. In this case, you may also have trouble quitting apps. Sometimes, it's even necessary to restart your phone. We want to raise our viewers’ awareness about data stealing, so here are the signs that spying malware could be on your smartphone. #brightside Preview photo credit: Alushta, Russia - July 28, 2018: Man hand holding iPhone X with call number on the screen. iPhone 10 was created and developed by the Apple inc.: By DenPhotos/Shutterstock.com, https://www.shutterstock.com/image-ph...

10 Gross Habits You'd Better Quit ASAP
We all have some everyday habits that are actually really dangerous to our health. For your own safety, and the safety of your family, you’d better stop doing these 10 things that seem good by mistake and follow some simple rules instead. When you were a kid, your parents probably taught you to immediately brush your teeth after meals, not to sit in front of the computer screen for too long, and to never stand near the microwave when it’s cooking something. Well, it turns out, you probably should’ve given up some of these habits a long time ago. Tooth enamel is the most solid part of the human body, but it becomes softer under acidic conditions, like after eating fruit or some dairy products. If you brush your teeth right after a meal, you can damage them by removing the enamel. Obviously, your eyes do get tired after staring at a computer screen for a long time. But being tired isn’t the reason why your vision might worsen. Microwave ovens aren’t as dangerous as many people think. In fact, this appliance is made in such a way that the electromagnetic radiation it produces can’t get out of its confines. The human body is amazingly self-sufficient, doing for itself tons of stuff so that you don’t have to, and that includes cleaning ears. Cleaning out your nose can lead to some serious problems because you can open it up to outside bacteria. Not all kinds of food really need to be washed before cooking. For instance, red meat and poultry should never be put under water. For a long time, people thought that sitting with their legs crossed was a sure-fire way to develop varicose veins. But recent studies show that it doesn't lead to this condition at all. Music: Vide Tracks - About That Oldie JR Tundra- Bubblegum_Ballgame Biz Baz Studio - Fun_Activity_Montage Silent Partner - Jack in the Box Silent Partner - Sophomore Makeout Rondo Brothers - Yellow Rose of Berkeley https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS You have to clean your ears regularly 0:33 You shouldn’t stand near the microwave when it's working 1:47 You don’t have to close the toilet lid when you flush 2:46 You should always wash your food before cooking it 3:21 Clean your nose out if you need to 4:14 Built-up limescale in a kettle is a health hazard 4:54 Always brush your teeth after eating 5:31 Crossing your legs is harmful 6:23 Working on the computer is bad for your eyes 6:59 Hold the steering wheel at “10-and-2” 7:38 SUMMARY -When you clean your ears yourself, you end up doing more harm than good. When you intrude into the ear canal, you cause an increased production of earwax. When pushed down, it may block the canal, which, in turn, can lead to a temporary loss of hearing. -Unlike X-rays or tanning beds, microwaves don't produce chemicals or radiation known to damage DNA and cause genetic mutations. -If the toilet lid is left open, little particles of the “stuff” you left in the bowl get sprayed up to 6 feet when you flush, sending bacteria all over the place -You should bake or boil meat without washing it beforehand. This way, the high temperatures will kill those harmful bacteria. -To get rid of everything inside, you can blow your nose carefully or rinse it out with saline solution. Cleaning out your nose can lead to some serious problems because you can open it up to outside bacteria. -Limescale is nothing but built-up calcium and magnesium carbonate. A lot of heartburn medicines are actually based on these chemicals, and people take them just fine. -If you brush your teeth right after a meal, you can damage them by removing the enamel. Do it 30-60 minutes after a meal instead. -Recent studies show that crossing your legs doesn’t actually lead to developing varicose veins. -Being tired isn’t the reason why your vision might worsen. Use a monitor with the right level of brightness, take breaks, and blink more often so that your eyes don’t dry out. -Experts actually recommend keeping your hands at “9-and-3”. This position will allow you to make turns even at high speeds.
