The average adult human body contains 206 bones—the hardened mixtures of calcium, minerals, and collagen that provide the biological scaffolding that walks us through our day. While we may not think of them much, bones are incredibly resilient. But if they do break, they have this nifty trick of regrowing themselves. Teeth, however, are not bones. Although they’re made of some of the same stuff and are the hardest material in the human body (thanks to its protective layer of enamel), they lack the crucial ability to heal and regrow themselves. But that may not always be the case. Japanese researchers are moving forward with an experimental…
Human coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1) is one of several coronaviruses known to infect humans. First identified in Hong Kong in 2005, HCoV-HKU1 typically causes mild to moderate upper respiratory tract illnesses, similar to the common cold. However, it can occasionally lead to more severe conditions like pneumonia and bronchiolitis, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Wikipedia Differences Between HCoV-HKU1 and SARS-CoV-2 While both HCoV-HKU1 and SARS-CoV-2 are betacoronaviruses, they differ significantly in several aspects: Symptoms of HCoV-HKU1 Infection Infections with HCoV-HKU1 typically present with symptoms akin to other respiratory viruses: In some cases, especially among…
In today’s world, cell phones have become indispensable. From staying connected to work and loved ones to accessing the internet, these devices are integral to our daily lives. However, with this convenience comes a downside: exposure to electromagnetic radiation. While the scientific community continues to study the long-term effects of this exposure, it’s prudent to adopt a proactive approach to protect our bodies. One effective strategy is incorporating specific foods into our diet to combat potential cellular damage caused by radiation. Here are some top foods that can help safeguard your health: 1. Berries: Nature’s Antioxidant Powerhouses Berries like blueberries,…
To understand the new smart monitors and other pro devices of tech health, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, assesses the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cook’s “sitting is the new factor” line. Routinely evaluating your risk factors for various medical conditions, screening for cancer and other diseases, and assessing your lifestyle habits helps you stay healthy. It’s…
Cannabidiol (CBD) has surged in popularity, touted as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments. But does it truly live up to the hype? Here’s a breakdown of the evidence surrounding CBD’s purported health benefits. What is CBD? CBD is a non-intoxicating compound found in the cannabis plant.
