2024-01-18 20:42:04 WHY is dieting incompatible with alcohol?
⠀
It's not even so much that alcohol increases appetite and lowers self-control, but that the brain, having detected the presence of ethyl alcohol in the blood, stops the metabolism, including the process of turning fat into glucose, and concentrates on removing alcohol and its toxic derivatives from the body as quickly as possible.
⠀
Since your body is capable of absorbing no more than 15 to 30 ml of pure alcohol per hour, the process of digesting a can of beer, for example, will stop fat burning for about an hour and a half.

2024-01-16 13:42:34 WHY do wounds itch when they heal?

The injured tissue releases the neurotransmitter histamine abundantly. Immediately after injury, it triggers an inflammatory response and later prompts tissue stem cells to migrate to the damaged area and repair the tissue.

It turns out that histamine irritates the nerve endings in the skin, causing itching.

2023-12-30 21:23:40 WHY is there no cure for color blindness?

Unfortunately, no cure for color blindness exists. There are special glasses and corrective lenses on the market that, according to advertisements, help with color recognition, but they come with undesirable side effects.

Lenses improve color recognition in one part of the spectrum, but in the other part, they worsen it. Many patients also experience unnaturally bright colors during the day and can barely distinguish their surroundings at night. In addition, lenses can ruin depth perception.

For this reason, most people with color blindness learn to adjust. They have no problem with everyday activities.

Many companies these days also consider the needs of people with color blindness: video games and apps often have special modes of operation for colorblind people.

2023-12-27 06:45:01 WHY is the navel concave or convex?

In 90% of people the navel is sunken (hidden inward) and forms a dimple on the abdomen, while 10% of people have a convex navel (clearly visible from the outside).

Congenital anomalies accompanied by a deformity of the umbilical zone are detected immediately after birth. In infants with a cutaneous umbilicus, the skin of the abdominal wall passes over the adjacent part of the umbilical cord.

As a result, after the umbilical cord falls off, a noticeable bulge is formed. As the baby grows, the bulge sometimes retracts, the appearance of the belly button normalizes. However, some patients have a convex navel for the rest of their lives.

At the start of exercising or when performing tasks, your muscles feel strong and resilient. However, over time and after repeating movements, your muscles may begin to feel weaker and tired. This can be defined as muscle fatigue.

Muscle fatigue is a symptom that decreases your muscles’ ability to perform over time. It can be associated with a state of exhaustion, often following strenuous activity or exercise. When you experience fatigue, the force behind your muscles’ movements decrease, causing you to feel weaker. Exercise and other physical activity are a common cause of muscle fatigue. Other possible causes of this symptom include: Addison’s disease age, anemia, anxiety, cerebral palsy, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), dehydration, depression, hepatitis C, HIV, influenza (the flu), lack of exercise, lactic acid production, medications, mineral deficiency, muscular dystrophy, myositis (muscle inflammation), poor muscle tone due to a medical condition, pregnancy, sleep deprivation, stroke, etc.

Muscle fatigue can occur anywhere on the body. An initial sign of this condition is muscle weakness. Other symptoms associated with muscle fatigue include: soreness, localized pain, shortness of breath, muscle twitching, trembling, a weak grip, muscle cramps. If you begin having difficulty performing daily tasks or if your symptoms worsen, seek immediate medical attention. This could be an indication of a more serious health condition. Open / Comment
