If the pepper does not always do good at the time of tasting, it would seem that in the long term, its effects are more than positive. Researchers at the University of Vermont have in fact found that regular consumption of Mexican red chili peppers was associated with greater longevity. A 13% reduc
Science says it:sleeping in complete darkness is best and recommended. Indeed, melatonin, a hormone essential for falling asleep, is secreted more efficiently by the brain, in the dark.

I want to fill a hole The effect of time. The loosening of the teeth is a normal aging process:over time, they are less anchored in the alveolar bone and can fall out. Certain factors accelerate bone loss:tartar linked to poor dental hygiene, periodontal diseases (which affect the supporting tissu
When it comes to holding a baby in ones arms, one is careful:one holds his head, one avoids holding him upside down... But did you know that mothers instinctively tend to hold their baby from the left side ? A fact noticed by scientists, who did not really know how to give it a meaning... it is now

If so, this news should interest you:scientists claim that it is possible to know if you are expecting a girl or a boy just by looking at the blood pressure of the mother. Specifically, low pressure would ind
I want to clean up my gums The effect of time. If they are not necessarily visible when you smile, the gums play their role:neglected, they can bleed and take on a blood-red color or, on the contrary, be rather transparent. Inflammation of the gums, called gingivitis, affects a large part of the p

The attack of pollution. Whether you live in the city or in the countryside, indoor air is on average two to five times more polluted than outdoor air (even if you live in a very polluted city). When we know that we spend about 80% of our time in closed places (home, work, cinema, restaurant…), it’s
The attack of pollution. Inhaling polluting particles not only has an impact on the skin and hair, but also on the whole body (we breathe less well, we are more sensitive to microbes, we can have drier eyes, etc. ). Good news:some foods increase the bodys resistance to pollution. The lethal Weapon.
Amenorrhea, breast tenderness:the first signs of a possible pregnancy Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation. The reason for the non-arrival of periods is often pregnancy. If no drop of blood appeared as it should, you may be pregnant. To refute or confirm it, do a test, bought in pharmacies. I

To say that we caught cold is a mistake. The temperature has nothing to do with our runny nose. If you catch a cold, it is because of one of the 200 viruses responsible for the infection (family of rhinoviruses, or coronaviruses), which swarm in the ambient air. We can therefore stay bare-armed by
From spring 2017, the Tampax brand will indicate the composition of sanitary tampons on the packaging. The company, under pressure for two years, would have ended up giving in.

Above all, no fat. When we have abused beers, cocktails and other shots, we should wake up with a desire to spend the rest of the day in diet mode. But this is often not the case… As we are tired and weak, we have, on the contrary, a tendency to want to throw ourselves on a ready-made dish that st
After the discovery of mold inside Sophie la girafe, concern continues around childrens toys. A study by the Swedish Chemicals Agency found that sex toys were safer than toys for our little darlings, as the latter would contain more dangerous chemicals. Lead and chlorinated paraffins These conclu
Aficionados of toast and extreme roast potatoes may be disappointed. The UK Food Safety Agency (FSA) has launched a campaign highlighting the carcinogenic risks associated with this type of cooking. An initiative that comes after the publication of several studies on the subject. Acrylamide, carcin
Cervical cancer screening should be generalized in France from 2018. The news was announced on Monday January 23, 2017 in an issue of the Weekly Epidemiological Bulletin (BEH). While vaginal tumors affect about 3,000 women a year in France and lead to more than a thousand deaths, Pap smear screening
