We all know the importance of eating healthy, but not everyone knows that the cookware you use to prepare your dishes is just as important as the food itself. Even the healthiest diet can result in severe health problems if your pots and pans are toxic. Find out which cookware you should avoid by all means for the sake of your own health and the health of your family. The non-stick properties of Teflon cookware are achieved with a coating of PTFE. This is a plastic polymer that, when heated above 572°F, starts to release toxins. These toxic fumes lead to flu-like symptoms called polymer fume fever, informally known as Teflon flu. Another chemical compound found in Teflon cookware is especially threatening since it tends to stay in the body (as well as in the environment) for long periods of time. Try cast-iron cookware instead. It even comes in non-stick varieties. It doesn't leak anything toxic into your food and is actually a nice natural way to increase your body’s iron levels. Though aluminum cookware is usually coated, the coating is prone to chipping, allowing the toxic metal to get right into your food. As for aluminum foil, using it while cooking is even more dangerous. In fact, there’s an established safe amount of aluminum the human body can manage daily, and that’s 20 mg per pound of body weight a day. When you wrap your food in aluminum foil and cook it this way, the amount of this substance that leaks into the food significantly exceeds the permissible level. Consider using glass cookware instead. If you’ve just enjoyed some fish in lemon juice or stewed tomatoes cooked in an uncoated copper pot and you find yourself suffering from extremely unpleasant symptoms (such as vomiting blood, light-headedness, yellowy skin, or gastrointestinal distress, among others) call 911 immediately. Try this safe alternative instead: stainless steel. Just make sure you're buying food-grade stainless steel since this is the only type that doesn't contain any nickel or chromium. Soft ceramic coating isn't durable enough and starts chipping after a few months of daily use. When this happens, lead and cadmium sometimes found in the coating will end up in your food and, thus, in your body. Lead poisoning is one of the most dangerous types of metal poisoning and can result in abdominal pain, headaches, infertility, and other health complications. Try this safe alternative instead: 100% ceramic cookware.

The human brain is probably the most mysterious organ in our body. Scientists keep learning new facts about its work, but it still hides lots of secrets. There are a few simple ways to boost your intellect and improve your brain power, and they will surely surprise you! TIMESTAMPS Chronic lack of sleep worsens memory 0:40 Prolonged stress destroys the brain 1:07 Love and hate have a lot in common 1:29 The brain is sensitive to dehydration 1:53 Pregnancy changes the brain’s structure 2:13 The abundance of sugar reduces the ability to learn 2:39 Romantic love and maternal feelings are very similar 3:25 Painting improves the work of the brain 3:58 Reading trains the brain 4:33 SUMMARY - During a full night’s sleep, brain cells remove toxic compounds dangerous to our brain. - A decrease in memory, in the ability to learn, in self-control — these are the consequences that chronic stress is fraught with. - British scientists found out that love and hate originate in similar brain areas. - Our brain is almost 80% water. - Scientists proved that pregnancy reduces the amount of gray matter in the brain areas responsible for social cognition and the ability to understand other people. - The abundance of fructose in the diet slows down the brain and reduces its ability to learn, remember information, and concentrate. - According to brain activity, romantic relationships and maternal feelings are very similar, but there are differences as well. - A study showed that painting and contemplation of works of art improve the interaction between brain areas while slowing its aging. - Oxford scientists proved that the process of reading trains the cognitive abilities of the brain. It also activates areas that aren’t used at other times. Don’t forget to hit the like button below the video and click subscribe to join the Bright Side of life!

Many researchers thought that the Egyptian tombs were constructed to highlight the majesty pharaohs. And that's what we studied at school. Yeah, past tense! Brace yourselves, folks, because it looks as if scientists have finally discovered the true purpose of the pyramids! It seems these unique structures might have had a function that was a far cry from burying the dead... TIMESTAMPS: How the Great Pyramid of Giza is different from any other traditional tombs 1:22 Could the ancient Egyptians have had technologies as advanced as the modern ones? 2:57 The Great Pyramid's mysteries 4:20 What about the “sarcophagi”? 6:34 “The Queen's Chamber” beneath the Great Pyramid 7:27 What was the gold capstone at the top of the Great Pyramid used for 9:46 Could ancient Egyptians us wireless energy for communication purposes? 10:45 #greatpyramid #pyramidofgiza Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: - The Great Pyramid of Giza was made with over 2 million stone blocks, each weighing from 3 to 30 tons. Actually, the most gigantic ones can be as heavy as 50 tons! The base of the Great Pyramid covers an area of 592,000 square feet, and each of its sides is about 218,000 square feet in size. - If you let go of the stereotype that ancient civilizations were less developed than we are today, a question arises: could the ancient Egyptians have had technologies as advanced as the modern ones? What if their knowledge was lost only to be rediscovered centuries later? - Interestingly enough, the Egyptians also used a special material, dolomite, on the inner sides of the pyramid. This mineral is known to multiply electrical conductivity. - Modern technology still can't recreate the gypsum-based mortar that was used during the construction of the pyramids. This kind of gypsum withstands huge amounts of pressure. So this may sound bizarre, but the mortar holding them together is, in fact, stronger than the blocks of the pyramid themselves. - In 1993, an inaccessible secret room was uncovered beneath the Great Pyramid. This room, which seemed to be deliberately concealed, was dubbed “The Queen's Chamber”. In 2011, thanks to more developed technologies, it became possible to explore the room with the help of a remote camera. - At the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza, there used to be a capstone made entirely of gold. It forwarded a path to transfer negative ions (those are atoms with an electrical charge) to the ionosphere (the layer of the earth’s atmosphere that contains a ton of said atoms). And that’s how an electric current of immense power was produced! - Another weird thing you can see in such carvings is what clearly looks like a wireless antenna. Perhaps the ancient Egyptians used wireless energy for communication purposes? They very well could’ve used electricity at weaving plants to manufacture yarn.

How to charge the battery correctly? Why do the phone batteries decrease so quickly? We have 15 amazing tips that will make your smartphone live a longer life! Nowadays one can hardly imagine life without a cell phone. And it happens quite often that our gadgets start to act up just half a year after we bought them. It is frustrating, but in most cases, we ourselves are to blame! Let’s face it — we don’t always handle our devices properly. TIMESTAMPS Recharge your battery more often 0:45 Don’t keep the battery charging all the time 1:24 Don’t buy cheap chargers 2:01 Be careful with «ultrafast» chargers 2:28 Remove your protective case 2:49 Drain your battery from time to time 3:10 Avoid high temperatures 3:29 Avoid cold temperatures 4:02 Avoid bright wallpaper and adjust screen brightness 4:34 Watch out for voltage fluctuations 5:19 Clean the ports and wipe the display 5:45 Keep the phone far from water 6:40 Handle your phone carefully 7:15 Avoid software updates 7:42 Use cloud storage 8:29 SUMMARY - To increase your gadget’s battery life, you should recharge it more often. The best option is to do it each time the battery power indicator drops to 10-20%. This will increase the number of discharge cycles up to 1000-1100 cycles. - An inbuilt controller stops the battery from taking more current than necessary, so there is absolutely no risk of overcharging the battery and destroying it. - There have been situations when a person was using a non-native charger, and it caused a fire in the house! And another terrible thing that can happen if you use non-native chargers and cables is getting an electric shock. - We recommend you to avoid using chargers that claim to charge your battery fully in less than an hour. - If your smartphone has a bulky protective case, it might cause the device and its battery to overheat during a lengthy recharging session. - It is recommended to discharge your phone’s battery every three months to 0% and then immediately charge it to 100% to get rid of the extremes of full charge/discharge. - A high temperature is the worst thing you can imagine for lithium-ion batteries: they totally can’t stand overheating. - Carry the phone in an inner pocket of your coat or an outer pocket but encased in a protective covering. Low temperatures are harmful to the battery because it needs more power to keep itself warm enough to function. - Try to lower the brightness of your screen at least by 30-40%. - At the approach of a thunderstorm, never charge your phone. Actually, the same goes for all the electrical appliances you have. - To wipe the screen, use lint-free wipers and whatever you do, never use window cleaning liquids. They contain ammonia which can damage the screen irrevocably. - If you drop your cell phone into a pool or a sink, the first thing you should do after you get it out is turn it off and remove the battery (if it’s possible, of course). - Don’t put your cell phone on the dashboard when driving. Constant moving and bumping can cause a lot of damage. - Read user reviews before you hit the update button. The problem with such updates is that it’s either very hard or impossible to go back to the previous version of the software. - Even if you have a lot of free space on your hard drive, it’s better to use cloud storage anyway. This way your phone won’t be clogged with too much data so that it will perform much better.

How to Know if a Guy Likes You. When you like someone and you feel like the feeling is mutual, you want to be sure not to embarrass yourself, right? Fortunately, there are some clear signs a guy likes you that clearly tell he has a crush on you, too. Look out for signals that a guy subconsciously sends that can reveal that he's into you. Even his feet can show you he’s interested in you in more than a friendly way. TIMESTAMPS He is nervous around you. 0:40 His body language says so. 1:29 He touches you often. 2:42 He treats you differently. 3:37 He shows a sudden interest in your hobbies. 4:25 He turns up in places you don't expect him to be. 5:19 He constantly asks you questions. 6:01 He remembers everything you told him. 6:46 His friends act a bit strange around you. 7:35 He doesn't use his phone when he hangs out with you. 8:24 Music: Let's Do It . Topher Mohr and Alex Elena https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -When we talk to our crush, we stutter, do and say awkward things, and act like the weirdest person ever. -A guy in love will be looking at you a lot, watching your every move. He will lean toward you and try to make eye contact as much as possible. Another good indicator is the direction of his feet: if they're pointed toward you, it's a subconscious sign that he may be interested. -Pay attention to how he touches you and how he reacts when you touch him. He may hug you tightly when he sees you or touch your hand — it can be anything. This all hints at the steady possibility that he's into you. -If the guy likes you, he will start to behave protectively toward you and perform gentlemanly and caring moves. -Sudden interest in what you're doing can be a sign that he really likes you. When we fall in love, we pick up our boyfriend or girlfriend's hobbies because we want to know more about them and their world. -If you continuously bump into each other outside of school, work, or any other place you see each other often, it might mean that he's deliberately looking for opportunities to “accidentally” bump into you. -Asking questions shows his interest in you and indicates that he either wants to keep the conversation going or wants to know every single thing there is about you. -If, during a conversation, you often notice that he remembered what you told him a week or 2 days ago, the name of your favorite band, or the fact that you hate olives, that counts for something. -If his friends are smiling or smirking like they know something you don't when they see you, they probably know he likes you. -If a guy doesn’t check his phone when he’s with you, it means that he's interested in your personality and values your conversation and time together.

We all want to have a flat stomach, but even with intensive workouts and dieting belly fat remains the most difficult kind to get rid of. The secret that will help you drop some pounds is avoiding certain foods. You most likely know it already, but it won’t hurt going over it again: avoid junk food, fried foods, and ice cream. The more you get, the more you want to satisfy your ever-growing craving. If you’re seriously set on getting rid of belly fat, you really do have to kick the habit of drinking pop and store-bought juices. Even diet soda slows down your metabolism and makes your body store more fat. Speaking of drinks, you’ll also have to say no to alcohol. Some alcoholic beverages are loaded with calories, but it’s not just about the caloric content in certain drinks. Alcohol consumption itself increases your appetite and confuses the part of your brain that’s responsible for that full feeling in your stomach. Along with sugar, salt should also be limited to small amounts, especially if you suffer from high blood pressure. Remember that one tablespoon of mayonnaise has about 100 calories. Another food to avoid is chewing gum. When you chew gum, your brain and stomach get signals that prepare them for an incoming meal. This means that gum triggers the overproduction of stomach acid, which ends up making you feel hungry. Music: In Every Way is licensed under a Creative Commons license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...) Artist: Freedom Trail Studio / @freedomtrailstudio TIMESTAMPS Alcoholic drinks 0:38 Soda 1:41 Chewing gum 2:50 Foods high in sodium 3:26 Fast food 4:12 Mayonnaise 5:08 Fried foods 5:37 Ice cream 6:14 Foods that make you bloat 7:14 “Sugar-free” foods 8:23 SUMMARY -Alcohol consumption itself makes you feel hungry, so no matter how full you are, when you go for a bottle of beer, you usually grab a snack too. -If you’re seriously set on getting rid of belly fat, you really do have to kick the habit of drinking pop and store-bought juices. -Gum triggers the overproduction of stomach acid, which ends up making you feel hungry, especially for sugary stuff. -Not only are high-sodium foods harmful to your health, they also make your body retain fluids, resulting in a puffy belly. -Junk food is a scary mix of fat, sugar, and chemical additives that give it a great taste negatively affect the good bacteria in your gut, and that leads to obesity. -If you’re a big fan of mayonnaise, then you should know that this condiment contains at least 80% fat. -Foods fried in oil work like a sponge that absorbs saturated fats that trick your brain and so you just keep shoving food in your mouth without even noticing it. -The more ice cream you get, the more you want to satisfy your ever-growing craving. -Dairy, apples, lentils, beans, and artichokes all cause bloating which gives bulging bellies to even the skinniest people. -Artificial sweeteners in “diet” foods might have no calories in them, but they will make you want to eat more, which only leads to gaining excess weight.

What is the purpose of an Adam’s apple? Could male nipples lactate? The male body is full of surprises. And if you’re a guy who thinks he knows his body to a T, or a lady who is an expert and knows it all, you’re in for a treat. Here’s a list of impressive (and peculiar) facts about the male body and some odd differences between male and female bodies that you don’t want to miss. Most of these features are hard to believe, yet true. TIMESTAMPS Female origins 0:53 Baldness 1:54 Men’s faces age slower than women’s. 3:14 Thick skin 4:03 Men’s bodies can lactate. 5:21 The Adam’s apple 6:33 Color perception 7:20 Music: Glitch by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...) Artist: http://audionautix.com/ --------------------------------------- https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Operatic 3 - Vibe Mountain #malebody #menfacts #malebrain SUMMARY Humans technically start life as a blank slate, and for the first 5 to 6 weeks, only the X chromosome is present in a fetus. After the 5 to 6-week period, if the fetus is to be male, the Y chromosome finally appears in a process called sexual differentiation. -If a man’s father is bald, then his chances of also losing his hair increase by 60%. The activity of male hormones also affects hair follicles in such a way that the body gradually loses its ability to produce new hair. -A man’s skin loses its concentration of collagen much more slowly as he ages, meaning that it’s much more resistant to wrinkling and sagging. -Men’s skin is thicker on the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of the epidermis. It provides a strong barrier between the environment and the living cells underneath. -Men and women are built from a common pattern, and that’s the reason why men have nipples. In theory, men could lactate because male breasts have milk ducts and some mammary tissue. -The Adam’s apple expands to account for the growth of the larynx. As the larynx grows, the man’s voice becomes deeper and lower. -Men can discern far fewer shades of color than women can. Color perception is determined by retinal cone cells. Their information is contained in the X chromosome, and, because women have 2 X chromosomes, the number of cone cells they possess is, naturally, twice as high as that of men.

You know those tests that tell you which character type you are by the position you prefer to sleep in? I wish they also explained that not all of them are good for you. Sleeping on your stomach, tummy, belly, abdomen, gut, the front of your back etc. is comfortable for sure, but it’s also bad for your health, and sometimes – even dangerous. For example, if a person has problems with their heart, sleeping on their stomach adds extra stress on it, causing an excessive heart rate and a rise of arterial pressure. For people who have bad cholesterol, and whose arteries are potentially blocked with plaque, this position can also be dangerous. And what about the face? When you wake up after sleeping a whole night on your tummy and look in the mirror… yes, all the creases on the bedsheet are imprinted on your cheeks and forehead...

What could hugs tell you about your relationship and your true personality? Not every man can easily express his feelings verbally, but body language can help. Hugging is the simplest form of displaying affection. Not only do we greet each other with hugs, but also it is a gesture to convey that we care. It is the perfect inter thing between holding hands and kissing. Even if you are not the most sensitive person, a warm hug can make you feel nice. If you think every hug is the same, sorry, but you are wrong. There are so many different types of hugs, and you had better know all of their differences. We can tell you which hug means what. TIMESTAMPS The hug from behind 0:44 The hug at the waist 1:09 The hug with a pat on the back 1:37 The hug while looking into the eyes 2:06 The "London Bridge" hug 2:41 The long hug 3:17 The one-handed hug 3:51 The naughty hug 4:20 The strong hug 4:54 SUMMARY - A strong embrace from behind says that the hugger is ready to protect you from all hardships and is not afraid of responsibility. He is a true knight, and you will feel safe next to him. - Even if the man hasn’t confessed his feelings to you yet, this embrace speaks for itself. This hug shows that he is happy to see you and trusts you completely. - If you are just friends now, then romance is unlikely to happen: your friend will support you and hear you out, though. And if you are in a relationship and this is the only hug you experience, it is worth thinking about. - If he hugs you incredibly gently and delicately and then looks straight into your eyes, then you can be sure: this is a symbol of a true and deep connection between you two. He values ​​you very much, and everything that is happening is important to him. - If the person is unpleasant to you, a wave, a handshake, or a nod are okay. There are exceptions, though: if you go to a family dinner and meet your grumpy uncle or your weird cousin who is always gross and smelly, this hug may come in handy. - The long hug embrace is certainly familiar to everyone: it is necessary when we need the support of a loved one. It lasts without any words uttered, and things are looking up somehow. - When your significant other hugs you at the shoulder, he takes you under his wing and tries to protect you from any adversity. If you are only friends, then the man offers his help and support. - If your relationship has just begun, and he is already not watching his hands, this hardly speaks of deep feelings. He could just be a player. But if you have been together for a long time, then there is nothing wrong with such flirting. - If a man hugs you firmly, lightly stroking your back, then you are lucky: he treats you very well and appreciates you. His passionate, strong hugs are a great deal. Embraces are not as simple as they seem. They can easily clear what a person wants to get from you in a relationship. Moreover, it is not difficult to distinguish real love via hugs. However, hugs of trust, friendship, and help are a necessity as well. So let’s hug each other a little more often!

Hold this squeeze for 30–60 seconds without letting go. - Instead of turning to meds or recreational drugs, you can make your brain tell your body to have feelings of euphoria and happiness thanks to reflexology! - Quickly rub the nails together to stimulate them. After doing that for a few seconds, push them together firmly for 20 seconds. After that, you should start to feel a bit of pressure behind your eyes as well as a relaxed sense of euphoria. - Hormones tell your body how to function; without them, your body wouldn’t know what to do! They tell certain organs how to work, they dictate how things like your hair should grow, and much, much more. Impressive! - If your thyroid gland doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to, you can feel fatigued, lethargic, and can gain weight. - On both hands, the pointer finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinkie are all connected to the brain, head, and sinuses.

As much as a newborn brings joy, it brings an equal amount of responsibility as well. New parents usually go through a bumpy ride when taking care of a baby, which involves issues like lack of sleep, soothing the baby, and feeding. Take, for example, changing diapers. It’s not the most complicated thing in the world: you wanna remove the soiled diaper and put a fresh clean one in its place. But there are some important things to remember.

Being a scientist is fun: you conduct new experiments every day (some of them are totally crazy!). And all these experiments can prove incredible facts, and we chose those we considered the most amazing and unbelievable. TIMESTAMPS ‘Pinky promise’ means 'If I break the vow, I'll cut off my finger' 0:39 Jupiter and Saturn have diamond rains 1:14 There are more than 1.6 million ants per person on Earth 1:53 There are more artificial flamingos than live ones 2:16 The strawberry is not a berry 2:46 Bananas, though, are berries 3:10 There is a hollow 100-foot worm living in the ocean 3:35 Mithridates VI was immune to poisons 4:06 If we lived in darkness, we would be able to stay up for 36 hours 4:33 Our foot is as long as our forearm 5:17 Neil Armstrong’s space suit was made at a bra factory 5:43 "Gadget" was one of the first three atomic bombs 6:05 Ann Hodges is the only person to survive a meteorite strike 6:33 Koalas have a unique fingerprint pattern 7:09 The surface area of Russia is bigger than that of Pluto 7:36 What if a monkey recognizes itself in the mirror 8:00 Dolphins can talk on the phone 8:33 Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire 9:07 You can survive a shark attack by staying still 9:29 SUMMARY - When making a promise, children link their little fingers and say a certain vow, different in every culture. In fact, during the Edo period, bandit clans had a ritual of cutting off their right little fingers to prove their loyalty. - Myrmecologists worldwide made an estimate that 1 to 10 quadrillion ants are living on Earth now. That means there are more than 1 million of these insects for each human! - There are several times more plastic flamingos worldwide than there are live ones. The latter are counted at 2 to 3 million, while the number of their plastic counterparts reaches almost 1 billion. - As a matter of fact, the "berry" of the strawberry isn’t at all its fruit.

Subscribe to Bright Side here: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz We at Bright Side have brought you several riddles to train your brain and check your ability to cope with stress. Maybe you’ll never have to answer them in real life, but who knows? Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram

Only thanks to the Sun life, as we know it today, exists. But what would happen if the Sun disappeared like right now? How long would we be able to survive without it? Would we even notice that? Would it be cold enough for the Russians to consider moving to a different planet? Huh? Bright Side decided to take a look at this hypothetical situation and imagine what it would be like to live on Earth without the Sun. TIMESTAMPS We would have no idea at first 1:03 It would be very dark 2:29 It would be extremely cold 3:20 Oceans would freeze over 4:10 Some organisms would be just fine 4:41 SUMMARY The Sun is the closest star to Earth. Only thanks to the Sun life, as we know it today, exists. Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy, they give us oxygen to breathe, and so you can go the beach and have a sunbath. Just imagine our planet, all frozen, traveling through the Universe for billions of years, still conserving what is left of life before the Sun «left» us. Maybe one day it would come close enough to a different star and get into its gravitational pull and star orbiting around it. In this case, the ice would melt, and the planet would heat so those microbes would have a chance to evolve into other types of life. But in such conditions, the chances that humans would appear as a result of this evolution are slightly bigger than zero.

19 Psychological Tricks That Will Improve Your Life. We try so hard to become better, smarter, stronger, and we often don’t look for easy ways. That’s too bad because there are less stressful ways that will give you the same outcome. However, there are less stressful ways to reach your goals.

Is it even possible to survive such a fall?! How to survive in a free falling elevator? Today, we will answer these questions and shares some recommendations from scientists and engineers about what you should and shouldn’t do if you find yourself in a falling elevator. Free falling trapped in a small metal box sounds terrifying. Even the thought of such a grim situation gives us the chills. And you have probably wondered what you would do if the elevator cable suddenly snapped. TIMESTAMPS Don’t jump 0:44 Don’t stand up straight 1:39 Lie flat on the floor 2:12 Betty Lou Oliver 3:24 SUMMARY - There is a popular misconception that if you jump a moment before the elevator hits the bottom, you will somehow decrease the impact on your body. You might hurt yourself badly if you hit the ceiling with your head. Jumping is not worth the risk at all. - Standing up straight and simply hoping for the best is also not the best idea. Nothing good is coming. What is coming is a weight ten times larger than that of your own body dropping on your legs at the moment of the impact. - Your best bet would be to lie flat on your back. This position will help you distribute the force of the impact across your entire body. Yes, your small thin bones will probably snap anyway (though it mostly depends on how high up you were when the cable snapped). - Betty Lou Oliver, who works as an elevator operator for the Empire State building, holds the world record for surviving the longest elevator fall in history! She traveled 79 floors in a falling elevator and stayed alive. - Elevator accidents happen extremely rarely. More people die when they step in empty shafts or get stuck between the elevator doors. So, watch your step and don’t hurry — you’ll catch the next one.

All people in the world are different, and every one is unique. And yet some of us have rare features that occur in only a few percents of humans. Do you know anybody whose bones are harder than concrete? We are going to tell you about the most unusual and mind-blowing characteristics only a few people have. Some are just nice physical features, but there are those Superman himself would envy! TIMESTAMPS Incredibly dense bones 1:02 "Golden" blood 2:01 Long palmar muscle 2:50 Genetic chimerism 3:40 Double lash line 5:00 A hole near the ear 5:45 Additional ribs 6:29 Ability to perceive "invisible" colors 7:21 Small need for sleep 8:37 The impossibility of cholesterol growth 9:40 SUMMARY - Studying the gene LRP5 (responsible for the mineralization of bones), scientists discovered mutations which cause diseases accompanied by bone fragility. Yet there is another type of LRP5 mutation: it gives a person super dense bones that are almost impossible to break and skin that is less prone to aging. Such bones are several times tougher than those of an average person. - On the surface of every red blood cell, people typically have about 342 antigens, 160 of which can be found in almost everybody. If a person has a lack of at least one of these antigens, their blood is rare. - A recent study has shown that 16 percent of people don't have this thin tendon. It is too weak to affect your grip, and even if it is cut, it won't make any visible changes. - Human chimerism is an additional set of DNA. Sometimes it appears in the form of "mosaic" skin or heterochromia, but most often it remains unnoticed. - Distichiasis usually doesn't bring any inconvenience. People with this unusual feature may have just several sparse hairs growing on one lid or full lines of lashes doubling the ones everybody has. - A hole near the ear is a congenital auricular fistula, formed during fetal development, occurring in about 5% of people. In fact, in the USA less than 1 percent of people have them, in Asia and some parts of Africa this figure is higher - from 5 to 10 percent. - Every adult out of 500 individuals has an extra rib. While all the other people have two dozens, these "lucky" ones can have 25 or even 26 ribs in their body. "Excessive" ribs are more often found in women. - With a dandelion, we describe its color as yellow. A tetrachromatic person will see a whole range of shades. This condition is caused by the mutations in the X chromosome. This difference allows people to see up to 99 million colors, while an ordinary person perceives not more than 1 million. - The DEC2 gene is a small mutation found in low-sleep people. Scientists from the University of California concluded that people with the DEC2 mutation could perform all the same tasks in less time. Can you imagine, having just 4 hours of sleep daily, you will get 60 days of free time a year! - There's a tiny group of lucky people who can eat almost anything without worrying about cholesterol. Their risk of developing heart disease is reduced by as much as 90%. While an average American is straining to reach a perfect result of fewer than 100 milligrams of "bad cholesterol" per deciliter of blood, people with this mutation have about 15!
