Human Body Host for Bugs? | Scienceray

Human Body Host for Bugs? | Scienceray/


The human body relies on bugs for health and life. Without the microbes the human body plays host to, there would be no human life. Scientists tell us we are 90% bugs and 10% human. The number of microbes our lives depend are staggering. Maybe it would be more appropriate to label ourselves as a "human-microbe hybrid".

Protect Your Teeth From Decay | Quazen



Protect your teeth from decay by brushing and flossing at least twice a day. If at all possible, brush after lunch, if it isn’t possible, rinse your mouth well with water. Eat and drink non sugary foods, and see your dentist once a year for a check up and cleaning. If you have a toothache, don’t use any over the counter pain reliever that goes directly on the tooth. See your dentist instead.

Nataqua The State That Wasn’t | Trifter


Isaac Roop was the first settler in the Honey Lake Valley, east of California. It was good cattle country and looked to be a good place to attract other ranchers. Settlers came at the urging of Roop and soon the community of Susanville was Nataqua’s busiest center. California took notice and claimed the territory was theirs, then Native Americans put in their own claim, and Nataqua became the state that never was.

Stress Effects Your Brain and Body | Healthmad


Stress increases the body’s supply of cortisol and that isn’t good, unless we are fighting a bear or in some other danger. A daily high of cortisol can cause increased inflammation, nerve damage, bad cholesterol, sugar cravings, allergies, high blood pressure, chronic disease, pain, and other bodily harm. The answer is to control your stress, which isn’t easy to do. With practice, you can bring stress under better control. Meditation has proven over the centuries to bring peace and calm into stressful lives.

Your Visit to The Gynecologist | Healthmad

Your Visit to The Gynecologist | Healthmad


Don’t let your visit to the gynecologist stress you out. Most women don’t look forward to a gyno visit but it shouldn’t be stressful. Wear comfortable clothing that’s easy to get in and out of. Bring your list of concerns to go over with your doctor and don’t be embarrassed to ask him or her anything. One thing women do that isn’t beneficial is trying to be too clean. Don’t make that mistake. Take your usual shower, and absolutely no douching.

More States for America | Trifter


Greenland isn’t selling any real estate, but the U.S. has been trying to acquire some of it since the 1800s. that’s because Greenland sets right between the U.S. and Russia, a perfect location for a missile defense system. Secretary of State William Seward was the first to try to acquire Greenland, he didn’t manage to broker that deal but he did purchase Alaska for 1.9 cent an acre. He was criticized for overpaying. Looking back, he made an astonishing deal. He bought a whole state for the price of a really nice house in Hollywood today, a little over $7 million dollars.
