45 billion years old meteorite falls in Italy

The meteorite, which fell at 300 kilometers per hour on the balcony of a councilor's house, is one of three aerolites that hit Earth last week: on February 13 in France, on February 14 in Italy and on February 15 in Texas.

Researchers from the Italian Institute of Astrophysics (Inas) have located new fragments of a meteorite that fell last week in the city of Matera, southern Italy, which would be 45 billion years old, as many as the solar system, according to the first results of the investigations.

Five reasons to replace sugar with honey

Published February 18,2023

When it comes to sweeteners, sugar and honey are at the center of the debate. Honey is often hailed as a healthier alternative to sugar. This is true despite being a bit higher in calories because of its added nutritional value.

There are several health benefits to replacing sugar with honey. But before listing them, remember that even if some associate it with the word "healthy," honey still needs to be consumed in moderation.

HONEY HAS A LOWER GLYCAEMIC INDEX

One of the advantages of substituting sugar with honey is that the latter has a lower glycaemic index. The glycaemic index measures how quickly blood sugar levels rise after eating a particular food. Foods with a high glycaemic index cause a quick spike in blood sugar, while those with a low glycaemic index have a more gradual effect. This is why honey is often thought of as a better choice for people with diabetes or other conditions requiring careful blood sugar regulation.

HONEY IS A NATURAL ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIVIRAL AGENT

Honey has long been used as a natural remedy for colds and other respiratory infections. This sweetener is a natural antibacterial and antiviral agent, making it an excellent choice for treating these health conditions. Honey can help to soothe a sore throat and calm coughs. It also boosts the immune system, allowing the body to fight infection.

Also, honey is a natural expectorant, effectively clearing mucus from the respiratory tract. For best results, it is recommended to take one tablespoon of honey three times per day. You can add honey to tea or simply eat off spoon.

HONEY CONTAINS ANTIOXIDANTS

Here is another reason to replace sugar with honey: it has antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are believed to contribute to cancer and heart disease development. By eliminating free radicals, honey's antioxidants may help to reduce the risk of these diseases. Honey is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy addition to any diet.

HONEY MAY HELP IMPROVE CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND REDUCE THE RISK OF DIABETES

Studies have shown that honey can help improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of developing diabetes. The antioxidants in honey also help to protect against heart disease and cancer. In addition, honey has antimicrobial properties that can help to boost the immune system. Given all of these health benefits, it is no surprise that honey is often called nature's miracle drug. So next time you are looking for a natural way to improve your health, try to replace sugar with honey.

HONEY CAN IMPROVE DIGESTION

The enzymes in honey can help break down food and make it easier for the body to digest. Additionally, honey is a good source of prebiotics, which are essential for gut health.

Studies have shown that honey can help to improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive issues like diarrhoea.

Furthermore, honey can help to promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut, which is vital for a healthy digestive system.

Protection From New COVID-19 Vaccines Drops Sharply Within Months: CDC

Zachary Stieber

Feb 24 2023

 

The new COVID-19 vaccines provide a boost to protection against hospitalization but that shielding wanes within months, according to unpublished data presented on Feb. 24.

A bivalent Pfizer or Moderna booster increased protection against hospitalization initially by 52 percent, but that protection dropped to 36 percent beyond 59 days, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers said.

The researchers separately looked at the protection people who had received two or more monovalent doses, or doses of the original vaccines, and no bivalent booster. They found that people aged 18 to 64 had just 19 percent protection against COVID-19 associated hospitalization and those aged 65 and older had just 28 percent protection.

That means the protection after two months was around 60 percent in total for the elderly and goes below 50 percent for all other adults.

The data came from the CDC’s VISION network.

Data from a different CDC-run network, called IVY, showed “minimal to no residual protection” against hospitalization from the original vaccine, Dr. Amadea Britton, a CDC official, said.

Two or more monovalent doses provided just 17 percent protection, with uncertain confidence intervals.

A bivalent vaccine on top of a monovalent primary series brought the protection to just 55 percent at seven or more days after the booster.

Waning wasn’t measured in the IVY network.

The bivalent vaccines were authorized and recommended in the fall of 2022 despite no clinical trial data being available. Clinical efficacy data remains unavailable at present.

The COVID-19 vaccines are authorized in the United States to prevent COVID-19 disease but officials have increasingly described the goal of vaccination as preventing severe disease, because the vaccines have performed worse and worse against symptomatic infection as newer variants have emerged.

The effectiveness against severe disease may be higher than against hospitalization, according to Britton.

...

A bivalent booster worked much worse in adults, according to other unpublished data from the network presented for the first time during the meeting.

A bivalent increased protection against symptomatic infection by just 38 percent in the elderly, with protection dropping to 21 percent by five months. In people aged 50 to 64, protection started at 46 percent and waned to 28 percent; among adults aged 18 to 49, protection started at 51 percent and waned to 41 percent....

Does Life Flash Before the Eyes Upon Dying? Study: Specific Patterns of Waves Recorded in a Dying Brain

Emma Yu & Angela Bright

Feb 7 2023

Death has always been a mystery to human beings. What can people see or feel when they are dying? Scientists who recorded the brain waves of a dying patient may have insights into the mystery.

When using continuous electroencephalography (EEG) to record the brain waves of an 87-year-old epileptic man, an international team of scientists monitored his brain activity as he suffered a heart attack and died. The study was published in the February 2022 issue of Front Aging Neuroscience.

Brain Waves Highly Active After Cardiac Arrest

Dr. Ajmal Zemmar, a neurosurgeon at the University of Louisville who took part in the study, said specific patterns of brain waves appeared in the patient’s brain 30 seconds before and after his heart stopped beating.

“Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die, similar to the ones reported in near-death experiences,” Zemmar told Frontiers.

A 2013 study published in the National Academy of Sciences found that all nine mice in the experiment had highly active brain waves for 30 seconds after cardiac arrest. This is strikingly similar to what Zemmar’s team found in their patient near death.

Near-Death Experiencers Look Back on Their Lives

The phenomenon of “looking back on life” just before or while dying has happened to many near-death experiencers.

Dannion Brinkley, author of Saved by the Light, wrote about his two near-death experiences. After its publication in 1994, the book was listed as a best-seller by The New York Times for five consecutive months.

Brinkley recalled to readers his first near-death experience on Sept. 17, 1975. During a storm that hit Aiken, South Carolina, the 25-year-old Brinkley was at home, talking on the phone with a friend, when a bolt of lightning struck him through the telephone line, throwing him into the air.

After experiencing immense heat and pain, Brinkley says he felt his soul leave his body and that he felt bathed in peace and tranquillity. He said he floated in the air watching his family and friends panic and give him first aid. He saw ambulances rush in and take his body to the hospital. Brinkley’s soul went through a tunnel into a place of light.

Brinkley then began to look back on the 25 years of his life, seeing even the tiniest details. He was surprised to find that he could relate to the feelings of other people affected by incidents he was involved in. Brinkley grew up unrestrained and was a bully who took pleasure in fighting and humiliating others. In reviewing his history, he felt firsthand the pain, fear, panic, and helplessness felt by his victims.

In one such memory, Brinkley shot and killed a North Vietnamese officer during the Vietnam War. In his near-death experience, Brinkley felt the confusion that the officer felt when he was shot in the head, as well as the helplessness and sorrow that he could not see his family again. What’s more, he felt the pain the officer’s family felt for years after they learned of his death. When the flashback finished, he was overwhelmed with remorse and shame. After returning to the mortal world, Brinkley changed himself completely and did everything he could to help others....

Vegetables and Fruits Are Great, but Just Eating Them May NOT Help You Fight Cancer

Flora Zhao

Feb 16 2023

Modern nutritional science recognizes fruits and vegetables as healthy foods that can reduce the risk of cancer, and most people agree with the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” But can we fight cancer effectively by eating only fruits and vegetables? Is it healthy to eat only fruits and vegetables? Well, not necessarily.

Fruits and Vegetables Can Fight Cancer, but There Is a Limit to Their Effectiveness

Fruits and vegetables may reduce cancer risk because they are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that help boost the body’s ability to fight cancer in many ways. Conversely, low fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with an increased risk of death from cancer.

A meta-analysis of 95 studies showed that adding 200 grams of vegetables and fruits to the diet was associated with a 10 percent reduction in all-cause mortality. A daily intake of 550 to 600 grams of fruits and vegetables combined, fruits, and vegetables, was associated with 14 percent, 8 percent, and 12 percent reductions in the relative risk of total cancer, respectively. It also reported that cruciferous and green-yellow vegetables were associated with a significant reduction in total cancer risk.

However, the study also found that increasing intake beyond 550 to 600 grams of fruit and vegetables per day did not lead to further reductions in risk.

Another meta-analysis showed a similar result: The protective associations for humans did not increase beyond 300 grams per day of fruit and vegetable intake....

Hotel Holds Reasonable Breakfast Hours Of 4:57-5:03 A.M

LIFE·Feb 24, 2023 · BabylonBee.com

FORT WORTH, TX — A hotel located just outside the historic Fort Worth Stockyards is now serving breakfast during the reasonable times of 4:57 to 5:03, which hotel management advertises as "reasonable."

The Rustic Inn, a staple of the Fort Worth area, offers a full continental breakfast, complete with a waffle machine your children can accidentally burn themselves on, included with the room's price. Guests are invited to serve themselves as well as order from the omelet bar, which opens later at 5:24 AM on Tuesdays and Saturdays during months that begin with "M."

"A free breakfast is a great incentive for travelers," said hotel manager Billy Lupin. "And what better time to eat than the crack of dawn? It helps keep you regular."

According to an unofficial hotel survey, a number of guests did indeed choose The Rustic Inn because of the free breakfast, but questioned the hotel's claims that the service window was "reasonable."

"I was up late doing Texas things," lamented one guest from Wisconsin. "I don't want to wake up at 5 AM for breakfast. I'm on vacation!"

"I fail to see the problem," Lupin argued. "I eat breakfast every day starting at 4:57 sharp because of my severe OCD."

"If you take more than six minutes to eat your bacon will get cold!"

At publishing time, The Rustic Inn has yet to serve a single guest breakfast.

Clearest picture of mars ever!

Those canyons are the deepest and longest in our solar system. For comparison, the Grand Canyon is a mile deep, 18 miles across, and 277 miles long. The Valles Marineris is four miles deep, 120 miles across, and 2,500 miles long. If overlaid on the United States, it would stretch roughly from New York City to San Francisco.
