Amaing Records Of Temperature Ever

On July 21, 1983, the temperature at the Vostok Station in Antarctica dropped to −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F), and this is the coldest temperature ever recorded on earth. The largest recorded snowflake was 15in wide and 8in thick. It fell in Montana in 1887. Also in June 22, 2003 a large thunderstorm moved across south-central Nebraska, and after a hailstorm local residents in Aurora found an extremely large hailstone and quickly put it in a freezer to keep it from melting. It was examined by the National Climate Extremes Committee who measured it as being 17.8 cm (7.0 in) diameter and 47.6 cm (18.75 in) circumference.

Why You Need Stomach Acid


Why You Need Stomach Acid and What Happens When You Neutralize It ???


The importance of stomach acid is well-documented. Your body needs stomach acid for a lot of good reasons:



Stomach acid plays an essential role in the immune system by killing harmful bacteria and parasites that are ingested with food 

The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razorblades

Stomach acid activates the enzyme pepsin needed for protein digestion 

Stomach acid signals to the pancreas produce digestive juices and enzymes to further break down food
Stomach acid initiates peristalsis, the rhythmic contractions of the intestines, that crush and move the food through the GI tract
Stomach acid is essential for the absorption of Vitamin B12 which plays key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and in the formation of blood.
Stomach acid performs an essential digestive function by reducing food clumps (bolus) into smaller particles (chyme), so that the intestines can absorb nutrients quickly and effectively.

The effect of suppressing stomach acidity with drugs is to decrease nutrient absorption to such a degree that there can be long term health consequences. In the process you are also compromising an essential part of your immune system. Stomach acid kills harmful microbes on contact but without it these intruders can flourish. The longer the duration of acid suppression the higher the risk of harmful effects.

Within 10 years every cell in your body will be replaced with new cells



Some People think ,,

Within 10 years every cell in your body will be replaced with new cells.

So a human body is 10 year old maximum, But According to a new Research







Recent research has confirmed that different tissues in the body replace cells at different rates, and some tissues never replace cells. So the statement that we replace every cell in the body every seven years or every ten years is wrong. Using a revolutionary new technique (described below), researchers have shown that:

1-Neurons in the cerebral cortex are never replaced. There are no neurons added to your cerebral cortex after birth. Any cerebral cortex neurons that die are not replaced.

2-Fat cells are replaced at the rate of about 10% per year in adults. So you could say that on average, human beings replace all their fat cells about every ten years.

3-Cardiomyocyte heart cells are replaced at a reducing rate as we age. At age 25, about 1% of cells are replaced every year. Replacement slows gradually to about 0.5% at age 70. Even in people who have lived a very long life, less than half of the cardiomyocyte cells have been replaced. Those that aren’t replaced have been there since birth.
