What The Deuce Is This Clottery All About?
Our blood is a very unique fluid. It doesn't just contain water. It contains a whole load of other dissolved substances such as proteins, electrolytes and vitamins, as well as other insoluble components such as the red blood cells.

How vitamins effect our skin and body?
VITAMINS • In 1912, a Polish biochemist called Casimir Funk suggested that disease might be caused by a lack of something in the diet and cured by adding it. • He thought this substance was necessary for life (vita) and contained nitrogen (amine) thus "vitamin."

Stability and Balance As A Function Of Our Physical Health
The idea of having a stable baseline is firmly ingrained in our psyches. The baseline provides a sense of stability for us in our day-to-day lives. For example, a salaried employee gets paid a baseline salary of X dollars per month, and from there, they are able to properly plan and budget for their expenses.

The Science Of Banana Browning And Parkinson's Disease.
The banana is a carbolicious fruit that many of us do like snacking on. It’s a source of quick, “natural” energy. Professional athletes chomp down on them in between games to get their second wind. We love using it in other carby dishes, such as with ice cream (the banana split), pancakes, waffles or with bread. In fact, people who grew up in the UK in the 1980s and the 1990s would also have been exposed to little Eric Wimp, a wimpy looking kid who gains superhuman strength after eating a banana — and becoming Bananaman in the process.

Neuroscience
In the research article by McCabe and Castel their hypothesis asserts that brain imaging specifically fMRI and PET, which are usually displayed pictorially with highlighted brain areas of activation, have a significant effect on the readers’ conclusions concerning an articles credibility and are thus rated higher in scientific reasoning. They believe this is because it provides a physical basis for abstract cognitive processes. To substantiate these claims, they conduct three experiments to determine if a brain image has a significant effect on perceived credibility and what exactly about the image is persuasive.

Knowing yourself
Feeling anxiety is constant and on an all-time rise in the modern-day. With a constant connection to live recordings and so much information that gets processed keeps an ongoing thought-like jumping process in the brain. Before just stepping back and taking a look at where you stand, take a second, and listen to what your different body parts are telling you. I feel down, the solution is do something that feels good like biting into a piece of your favorite tastes or revisit an experience that made you feel accomplished. No doubt if it was something memorable it will serve a great purpose into shifting your mindset from a negative, to a neutral, to a positive quite quickly.

What's Up With The Stimulus-Receptor Signals In Our Body?
The idea of a lock and key mechanism was borne out of a need for security. We have valuables to safeguard. We have private issues that we don’t want to make public. We keep them locked up and hidden away. However, we do have keys to unlock those locks and gain access to our private stashes.
