THE EGG FLOAT TEST!

The Egg Float Test Together, and with the help of a small bowl of water, let’s save millions of perfectly good eggs from being thrown away. Egg shells are very slightly porous. Over time, air seeps into the shell making it lighter than it was, and, when it is old and no longer good to eat, it floats. Hence, the egg float test.

TURMERIC ( CURCUMIN )

Curcumin is a phytopolylphenol pigment isolated from the plant Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric, with a variety of pharmacologic properties.  Curcumin blocks the formation of reactive- oxygen  species, possesses anti-inflammatory properties as a result of inhibition of cyclooxygenases (COX) and other enzymes involved in inflammation; and disrupts cell signal transduction by various mechanisms including inhibition of protein kinase C.  These effects may play a role in the agent's observed antineoplastic properties, which include inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and suppression of chemically induced carcinogenesis and tumor growth in animal models of cancer.

SOLAR ECLIPSE MYTH!

India set to witness an annular solar eclipse on Sunday, wherein the Sun will appear like a "ring of fire". The phenomenal celestial event takes place when the moon comes in between the earth and the sun, leaving the sun's visible outer edges to form a "ring of fire" or annulus around the moon. There are also many superstitions that revolve around this solar eclipse or Surya Grahan, right from restricting consumption of food at a particular time to actually banning people from watching the celestial event live. Some of which are associated with the food that we eat during the eclipse. However, scientists have busted the myths. Professor M N Vahia, Dean School of Mathematical Sciences, NMIMS said there is no religious text that claims that eclipses are dangerous. They are mere superstitions created by people who are scared of the eclipses. "On the contrary we can even see how eclipses have been beautifully discussed in ancient literature", he...

NICOTINE

Nicotine is a chemical that contains nitrogen, which is made by several types of plants, including the tobacco plant. It is also produced synthetically. Nicotine is both a sedative and a stimulant. When a body is exposed to nicotine, the individual experiences a “kick.” This is partly caused by nicotine stimulating the adrenal glands, which results in the release of adrenaline. This surge of adrenaline stimulates the body. There is an immediate release of glucose, as well as an increase in heart rate, breathing activity, and  blood pressure . Nicotine causes a wide range of side effects in most organs and systems. # The circulation of the blood can be affected in the following ways: -an increased clotting tendency, leading to a risk of harmful blood clots atherosclerosis , in which plaque forms on the artery wall enlargement of the aorta # Side effects in the brain include: -dizziness and lightheadedness -irregular and disturbed sleep -bad d...
