  Thick thighs, longer life A paper published in the top journal British Medical Journal (BMJ) analyzed the health data of more than 2.52 million adults and found that A 5 cm increase in thigh circumference was associated with an 18% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality. In contrast, the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality is significantly increased when leg fat content is too low.  The inability to store fat in the legs is likely a key factor in the elevated risk of cardiovascular metabolic disease in lean individuals. This type of metabolic problem causes an increased risk of mortality and cardiovascular events even more than in the obese population. Fat has always been criticized, why grow on the legs has become a "life extension" good thing? This is because the subcutaneous fat of the thighs is protective fat. They are important endocrine organs that grow in different places and secrete different hormones and play different roles. When the fat

  Same sex can have a baby What is the principle? The reproductive patterns of mammals, whether human or mouse, are similar. The father contributes "half a set" of genetic material through the sperm, and the mother contributes "half a set" through the egg, so that the baby can develop healthily. But theoretically, no matter what method is used, as long as a whole set of genetic material can be assembled in the embryo, there is a theoretical possibility of developing a baby. One of the simplest ideas is that of  parthenogenesis Only Mom can make babies" is more common in non-mammals. The picture shows aphids, some of which reproduce in isolation. To be precise, parthenogenesis and it occurs regardless of the presence of hermaphroditic mating, as long as the offspring carry only a single genome. However, unisexual reproduction in nature is mainly solitary, and only one species of ants in the Americas has both solitary and solitary male reproduction. Imagine a wom

  Open the APP and discover your new 'deficiency' In a recently published new study, scientists reviewed and analyzed 113 high-quality papers that clearly indicate that "social media use may trigger body image disorder (excessive preoccupation with one's image and dissatisfaction) and exacerbate eating disorders in young people. Social media, how make us lose confidence in ourselves? First of all, a large number of beautified pictures and videos make us more dissatisfied with the reality of ourselves. Before the emergence of social media, there were only a limited number of other people we could "watch", and what we could see was our real faces and bodies. When more and more beautiful faces and devilish bodies are presented to us through social media, we will intentionally or unintentionally compare ourselves while admiring others, creating the impression that "they are all more beautiful than me". Secondly, social media provides the opportunity for

  Is it possible that all diabetic urine is sweet? The answer is: not really, not all diabetics will have urine sugar. Why would a good person urinate sugar? Could it be that when you eat too much sugar, the excess sugar appears in your urine? No, the real problem is the insulin in our body. Our body is like a society filled with wailing beater-cells. Every day, the various delicacies we eat are broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream by the digestive system, becoming a take-out order ready for delivery, such as glucose. The pancreas (in the islets) is the delivery platform, which will send the most reliable takeaway worker - insulin - immediately after the meal, to get on the beloved scooter and run up in flames. If there is some extra glucose that is not delivered, the insulin delivery boy will store it in the warehouse - the liver - first. But if the warehouse is full and the liver can't hold it anymore, it will be converted into fat. But sometimes the unexpected happens:

  How to scientifically identify a playboy In 2021, the prestigious psychology journal Current Psychology published a fantastic research paper. Scholars from Southwestern University in China and the Australian National University have conducted a grand summary of love rat . The researchers attempted to identify and understand the definition and structure of love rat traits from an evolutionary perspective and from a modern psychological perspective. After a series of analysis, the researcher managed to identify the four elements of a scum, which are: poor interpersonal interactions, bad personal qualities, machismo and seriously hurt relationships, and irresponsible sex. Element 1: Poor interpersonal relationships The other party often makes promises but never keeps them; When there is a disagreement, you try to communicate and solve it, but he has an impatient attitude and only says "I'm wrong, okay?" and "I can't help it if you think so"; He is not willin

  The prevalence of autism is rapidly increasing. CDC data show that 1 in 36 8-year-olds will be identified with an autism spectrum disorder in 2020. In 2018, this figure is 1 in 44 In 2016 it was 1 in 54; In 2014, it was 1 in 59. In six years, the prevalence has increased by more than half. Note: In recent years, the incidence has been increasing rapidly for all ethnic groups in the United States What kind of disorder is autism? And how do we live with it? Today is World Autism Awareness Day, and we've compiled 6 insights that may refresh your perception of autism. In fact, everyone has a little autistic trait A study in the National Academy of Sciences used the Autism Trait Questionnaire to test over 500,000 people and found that the distribution of autism trait scores in typically developing populations was also a smooth curve, except that they scored lower on average compared to the autistic population. There is also a large body of research that correlates autistic traits with

  One trick to quickly determine Expired 1 day can not eat First, the answer: Food with a long shelf life, the difference between "one day before expiration" and "one day after expiration" is not significant; Short shelf-life food, risky, throw away don't eat it! Food with a shelf life of 6 months or more is generally referred to as "long shelf life food"; Food with a shelf life of 30 days or less is called "short shelf life food"; If the shelf life is between 30 days and 6 months, it is recommended to be cautious and treat it as short shelf life. It's all the same food, so why should we treat it differently? The key factor is - microorganisms. "Long-shelf-life foods" are usually sterilized, or the food itself is not in an environment suitable for microbial growth. For this type of food, such as canned food, cookies, nuts, etc., there is little difference between "one day expired" and "one day left to expire"

  Want to use coffee to refresh to see the right time Think about it, are you used to dry a cup of coffee when you are sleepy ? Wrong! Want to use coffee to refresh, you have to drink before the sleepy ! Why? Let's first look at how people get sleepy . Our daily work consumes energy and our body produces some daze - adenosine. It is the source of sleepiness. As working hours continue to increase, adenosine more and more, and will bind with the receptors on the brain. Then the idea of sleepiness prevention is clear, blocking adenosine and receptor binding As it happens, coffee has a psychotropic agent - caffeine. The structure is very similar to adenosine, so it can occupy the receptor before adenosine, leaving adenosine with no "bed space" to stare at. Adenosine can not bind to the receptor, the brain does not receive fatigue signals, so we can continue to mental. Generally about 45 minutes after drinking coffee, 99% of the caffeine starts to work, with a half-life of abo

  How can fungus, which is invisible to the naked eye, "steal" the skin and nails step by step before your eyes? How to cure fungal infections that cause beriberi and Onychomycosis? Fungi are common in the environment and can cause infections First of all, it is important to know that our skin is not as "clean" as it looks to the naked eye. In fact, the human skin surface hosts countless microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and of course, fungi. Under normal circumstances, people and bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms live in harmony. However, some microorganisms can cause infections, and the result of these infections is foot odor and gray nails. The scientific name for athlete's foot is tinea pedis, and the scientific name for gray nails is onychomycosis or nail fungus, and they are mainly infected by the fungus "dermatophytes". After the fungus infected your body What did it do? There is no doubt that dermatophytes 'eat' skin a
