The human body is an amazing machine, so to speak. He is able to independently heal himself, to fight the difficult life trials in which a man drives him.
It would seem that in the 21st century all the features and capabilities of the human body should already be studied up and down. But in reality, everything is not so simple. The body still presents surprises and “tells” a person about its amazing capabilities.
10. Half the body is solid bacteria
Bacteria are friends, like-minded people in the formation of immunity. The human body is very useful products of their vital functions, which, integrating into metabolic processes and competing with each other, make people resistant to various kinds of viral and bacterial diseases. Prevent Aging.
Bacterial associations are spread over the skin. Indispensable is their presence on the mucous membranes of the mouth, nasal cavity, vagina, along the entire length of the intestine.
In the struggle for their bacterial existence, they destroy the aggressors by digestion, rapid reproduction and simply "squeezing" the space that is vital for themselves from the invaders. For sure, a holy place never happens to be empty.
Valuable is the fact that bacterial families are friendly with their bacterial neighbors. If you need to quickly form a defense, their ranks literally close. They have only one enemy - man!
It is he who believes that antibiotics are useful and tries to rinse, “nourish”, irrigate everything that his hands reach. Thoughtless, mechanical flushing, intervention on the principle of "I'm big and everything is possible for me" is not only harmful, it is dangerous and directly poses a threat to human life.
9. The stomach turns red with us
There are more than enough situations in a person’s life when the stomach turns red. These are stresses, a sense of danger, anxiety, fear, injuries, prolonged physical activity, through the special control system it releases the protective hormone adrenaline. It is he who constricts the vessels of the abdominal organs. Skin. Mucous membranes.
A person has a febrile blush, a sparkle in his eyes. The level of wakefulness rises. As soon as the situation in life normalizes, the redness of the skin subsides, the mucous membrane of the stomach becomes evenly pink or dull.
8. Emotions create false memories
In false memories, the facts that were in reality are modified, their transfer to another time is possible. Sometimes they can be surrounded by fictional events.
Real suffering is caused by a situation when a fact is forgotten, but it remains important for a person and he replaces it with fiction, fantastic information. Human memory is constantly reconstructing the past. And that is great.
Everyone at least once had a situation when the same event was covered differently depending on the listener. It is important that when the emotional tint of a well-forgotten episode in life flashes up again, you need a listener who kindly helps to survive the surging memories.
7. An incredible amount of bacteria inside the navel
The navel is a scar on the anterior abdominal wall remaining after removal of the umbilical cord. It looks different for all people. In some, it is like a convex formation, in others it is on the contrary involved.
The peculiarity is that bacteria are found in this small recollection of the days of the departed. Previously, the navel was tied mechanically. Now they are pinched with a special clamp, leaving a “tail” that should fall off. On time. So, in the first days of life, a diagnosis of the weakness of the immune system is carried out.
This place is dark in the body, more often it is covered with clothes, plus skin folding - this is how the “apartment” was formed for microbes to live.
Scientists have recorded associations of up to 3 thousand items. Up to 107 items in one individual person. Doctors suggest carefully caring for the navel, after a shower, treating it with an alcohol-containing substance.
6. The ability to UV vision
Ultraviolet radiation is electromagnetic radiation occupying the spectral range between visible and x-ray radiation. Infrared and ultraviolet radiation has always been considered inaccessible.
The preliminary findings are as follows. Rhodopsin, the photosensitive protein found in the retina, is able to absorb radiation due to the quantum effect, which was previously known as two-photon absorption.
5. In the morning we are thinner and taller
Normally, the human body should get about 7 hours of sleep. If you go to bed at the same time, four hours before bedtime, limit the amount of alcoholic and caffeinated drinks, do not eat after seven hours, especially high-calorie foods and, in addition, do not torment yourself with physical activity - you can lose weight.
A calm, refreshing sleep provides the production of sleep hormones. Their task is simple. All life processes begin to flow on energy-saving speeds. And the temperature of the internal organs should not decrease, under any circumstances.
The phenomenon of growing up to 1 centimeter per night really exists. The thing is that in a horizontal position, the cartilage has the ability to expand. The spasm is removed from the muscle corset.
In the evening, upright posture leads to the fact that they again contract and spasm. It is a pity that there is no tradition to get up on all fours during the day (especially for people who are tall or those who are engaged in hard physical labor), and walk slowly in this position. The back would definitely say thank you.
4. Complete cell regeneration every 10 years
It is known that the cells of the human body are updated. Bones are renewed every 10 years, gradually this process slows down, which leads to brittle bones. Skin - every 2 weeks. The cells lining the stomach - every 5 days. Blood - 120-150 days.
Brain cells do not renew throughout life. The human liver is designed for 600 years. Nothing is yet known about the heart. The fastest updated organ is nails.
Regeneration processes are described in genes. They are quite flexible and vulnerable. Where organ systems work intensively, reparative processes are accelerated. This is partly why the life span is shorter than nature intended. Highly costly lifestyle does not lead to longevity.
3. Taste acidity receptors in the heart
An amazing discovery was made by scientists at the University of Quickland. Heart tissues have receptors that respond to bitter foods. The same as in the oral cavity.
Interestingly, bitterness does not like the heart. In the literal sense, it begins to work more slowly, since bitter substances have a relaxing effect on smooth muscles. There are many more mysteries to discovering this phenomenon. But to retreat from solving them will not work.
2. Gastric acid dissolves iron
Scientists to this day rethink the role of iron in the human body. The body feels its need daily. But how else, because without iron it is impossible to capture oxygen from the blood. It is capture, and then transportation to needy tissues throughout the body.
Under his representation, the disposal and destruction of toxins, the burning of fats and their conversion into energy are carried out. The appearance of a person changes rapidly with an element deficiency. The skin is dry, hair is dull, brittle, cracks are poorly healing in the corners of the mouth, the body begins to retain water. A little more, and it will be possible to sing a children's song "I am watery, I am watery, no one is with me."
The human body is conceived magically. The stomach, the place where food is digested most intensively, contains hydrochloric acid. When combined with iron, salt and water are formed. Moreover, in those quantities that are necessary for a person at a given time.
Among peoples living in hot countries, there is an inherently low level of hydrochloric acid in the body. That is why their culinary recipes contain many spices, just for stimulating hydrochloric acid and high-quality digestion of meat.
1. The composition of breast milk varies according to the baby
The process of conception and bearing a child is a miracle. And the same miracle is mother's milk, which ensures the harmonious development of the newborn. The first three days, the mammary glands produce colostrum.
Its value is that in a small, but sufficient for the baby volume, high amounts of protein come in, powerful protection against infections begins, and the small body is nourished with salts, vitamins, and minerals.
And at the same time, there is a powerful launch of a “factory” for the production of a valuable growth product. The mechanism of positive feedback between the mother and the child starts. A man grows and milk is increasing in volume. Its energy and caloric value is growing.
Surprisingly, the characteristics of the composition of milk vary from feeding to feeding and are ideal for a growing body.
