This dentist refused to perform root canals for over 20 years, here is why. For an adult, a root canal is a common procedure. It might seem like a wise choice because it helps treat and also protect any tooth that has become toxic. Thankfully, Dr. Robert Kulacz, a dentist and author of the book The Toxic Tooth: How A Root Canal Could Be Making You Sick, has done extensive research to answer the question: “Is it wise to get a root canal?” #Dentist #RootCanal #RootCanalTherapy Timestamps: 1 - What Is A Root Canal? 1:19 2 - Root Canal Bacteria Can Worsen Other Diseases 03:48 3 - Root Canal Teeth Can Get Infected Over Time 4:52 4 - Necrotic Tissue Can Cause Problems 05:16 5 - How to Avoid A Root Canal 05:52 6 - Brush With Toothpaste Containing Fluoride 07:27 7 - Root Canal Alternatives 07:59 8 - Extraction 08:46 9 - Dental Bridges 09:14 10 - Cantilever bridges 09:52 11 - Maryland Bridges 10:04 12 - Implant-Supported Bridges 10:14 13 -Pulp capping 10:28 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: let’s analyze why Dr. Kulacz has refused to perform root canals for over 20 years. What Is A Root Canal? The Canadian Dental Association defines a root canal procedure as the process of removing infected, injured or dead pulp from a tooth. When bacteria enter your tooth through deep cavities, cracks or even flawed fillings, your tooth can become abscessed. An abscessed tooth is a tooth that has become infected with pulp. If this pulp becomes infected, doctors will recommend that it needs to be removed. If it’s not, it can cause pain and swelling. Root Canal Bacteria Can Worsen Other Diseases: Because a root canal tooth is technically infected, it can contribute to certain health problems which include heart disease, according to Kulacz. Root Canal Teeth Can Get Infected Over Time: Kulacz explains that because root canal teeth no longer have a blood supply, the bacteria is essentially hidden from the immune system. What’s worse is that the root canal can become more infected because of the influx of bacteria from the gum tissue that is surrounding the tooth. Necrotic Tissue Can Cause Problems: When someone gets a root canal, the tooth is no longer alive. This means that it should never be left in your body. Take appendicitis for example; the doctor doesn’t just isolate it; he completely removes your appendix. Unfortunately, when it comes to a root canal, this rule is not applied, according to Kulacz. He adds that when patients came to him as a last resort, their chronic health issues were resolved once he removed their root canal and the infection was treated. How to Avoid A Root Canal: According to Main Street Dental Clinics, there are a few ways you can avoid having root canal treatment. The first way is to maintain a healthy diet. According to Ramiel Nagel, the author of Cure Tooth Decay, the human body can protect itself from infection when we consume food that keeps our body balanced. According to Colgate, eliminating sugars from your diet and replacing them with fruits and vegetables also helps. Brush With Toothpaste Containing Fluoride: The Carlson Biological Dentistry states that brushing your teeth every day with fluoride toothpaste can help scrub away the bacteria that is causing cavities. Fluoride gives your teeth extra protection against decay. Extraction: One alternative to root canal is extraction. When a tooth is extracted, it is completely removed from a patient’s mouth. This form of treatment is not usually performed unless the tooth is so severely damaged that it cannot be saved any other way. It is often used as a last resort in the event that the tooth cannot be saved with any other type of treatment. Dental Bridges: In the event that a dentist determines your tooth needs to be extracted, you may want to consider dental bridges. Dental bridges help to close the gap between two missing teeth. They are made of multiple crowns which are found on either side of the gap around an artificial tooth. Cantilever bridges: These bridges are very similar to traditional bridges, but are supported by a crown on just one side. Maryland Bridges: Maryland bridges are held in place by a piece of framework made of two wings of metal on each side of a crown. Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant-supported bridges are used to support multiple gaps in a person’s teeth, and are supported by dental implants rather than dental crowns.

When you have high blood sugar levels, your body will give you these warning signs. What most people don’t know is that high blood sugar levels can cause severe damage. Whether you’re diabetic or not, high blood sugar can cause damage to your nerves, organs and blood vessels. The real danger though is when your blood sugar level does not go down. It’s when it doesn’t go down where serious health problems can occur. One of the reasons why people suffer from high blood sugar is because they are uneducated about the seriousness of it and the signs that our body gives. Reducing your sugar consumption is one of the most important health tips that you should listen to. Weight loss is just one of the many benefits of lowering your sugar intake. #BloodSugar #HighBloodSugar #BloodSugarLevels Timestamps: Constantly Thirsty 0:58 Increased Eating Habits 1:20 Constant Urination 1:54 Chronic Fatigue 2:22 Blurry Vision 2:45 Dry Skin 3:07 Impotence 3:29 Weight Gain 3:44 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: - The main reason why high blood sugar causes you to be thirsty is polyuria. When your blood sugar level is high, your kidneys cannot keep up. So they produce more urine to get rid of the excess glucose they cannot absorb. This causes you to become dehydrated, according to WebMD. - If you find that your eating habits are increasing, you might have high blood sugar levels, according to the Mayo Clinic. The reason why high blood sugar levels can cause increased eating is that glucose is unable to enter the cells. It could be because of lack of insulin or possibly insulin resistance. When this happens, your body is unable to convert the food you eat into energy. So if your body feels it doesn’t have enough energy, it will require more food to try and produce glucose. - This sign is directly linked to constant thirst, according to the Mayo Clinic. Your kidneys are unable to keep up with the excess sugar, so they only way they can get rid of it is through urination. Keep an eye on your trips to the bathroom. If you find you are going every hour, you could have high blood sugar levels. But this could also mean you have a more serious health issue. The best advice is to go talk to your doctor. - You might think that having high blood sugar means you have a lot of energy. The total opposite can happen though. When you have high blood sugar, you urinate more and you become thirsty because your kidneys cannot absorb the glucose and create energy, says WebMD. With no energy, your body will become weak and tired. - When you have high blood sugar, it can cause the lenses of your eyes to swell, WebMD. Anyone that has had swollen lenses knows that it causes your vision to become blurry. In most cases, this is just temporary, but consult a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. - If you experience this sign, your blood sugar levels may have been high for quite some time. High blood sugar levels can cause the nerves to become damaged and also causes the body to lose fluids rapidly, explains WebMD. If this process continues for years, the body’s nerves become damaged and the skin becomes dry. - For men, when it comes to performance in the bedroom, they rely on proper blood flow, according to WebMD. High blood sugar disrupts that blood flow and even damages the nerves and blood vessels. - If you have high blood sugar, chances are you might be insulin resistant. In this case, your cells no longer respond to insulin. It is extremely difficult for insulin-resistant cells to take glucose from your blood. Because of this, your blood sugar levels begin to build up over time. This can cause you to gain weight, according to Livestrong.

Men notice these things about women, and women have no idea. Women seem to be always wondering what men want and what men like. Whether they are looking for dating advice, tips on how to talk to men, and how to be more attractive, there are all sorts of things that women don’t know about what men like. #WhatGuysLike #AttractMen #WhatMenLike Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: Humans are biologically designed to want to spread their genetic material. But nowadays, with almost 8 billion people on this planet, finding a mate who isn’t picky can be quite the challenge. When we take a look at the animal kingdom, which humans are a part of, then we can quickly see the predominant motive of these sentient, living beings. They focus solely on their primal instincts; eat, sleep and sex. But how do these animals showcase behavior that entices the opposite gender? For instance, male peacocks with the fanciest, brightest feathers tend to receive the most attention. Lions with the biggest mane are regarded as possessing the best genetic material. And gorillas have their own alpha males. But within a human society, it becomes much more than just one single factor. During the time of Neanderthals, it could have been the mate with the best hunting attributes so that their family could survive longer. But in a modern society, we have evolved to be more interested in material possessions like a mansion, an expensive car, fancy watches and/or lavish jewelry. But besides the blatantly obvious ones, what are some things that men notice about women that women might not realize?

Watch to find out the top 7 things that men secretly like about women, but would never, ever admit to. Remember, these things are only considered a secret because society makes us believe it makes men less “manly” if they think like this. But in reality…it’s kind of sweet! #WhatMenWant #UnderstandMen #LoveAdvice Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: 7. Romantic Gestures. According to Elite Daily and many other publications, there are so many “girly” things that men enjoy that people would just not expect. In addition to that, there are things that men secretly like when they are in relationships, or when they are into a girl that no one would expect.. For example, when they find the right girl, men love romantic and cheesy gestures. But because of society giving them the belief that they have to be masculine, they get shy. But not only do they love doing romantic things for their girls, they also love it when girls do romantic things for them! 6. Guys LOVE watching their girl eat. Okay, so we’ll admit - this does sound a little strange, and perhaps even a little bit creepy. Glamour posted some things that guys have admitted to secretly loving watching their girlfriend or wife eat. One person even wrote: “When my wife gets hot chocolate with whipped cream on top, she takes two coffee stirrers and uses them like chopsticks to eat all the cream”. They love when their partner eats messy or has silly little habits when eating. This is because guys love the little things about their partners. Just like we mentioned in the first point, it is the little things that count! Guys love the cute, quirky and weird things their girlfriends do. This is because it’s these small quirks that make a person’s personality, which is what guys love about their partners. 5. Men LOVE when women initiate things. We mean, they can’t be the only ones doing all the work, right? According to lovepanky.com, women shouldn’t be worried to show equal interest and initiate a text, or even a hangout. It shows confidence, which men find seriously attractive! Confidence is one of the number one things that men love about women. A woman who is confident is one that is sure of herself. This is a huge turn on for men, because it shows that their girlfriend is independent, smart, and level headed. She isn’t afraid of showing who she is, and she doesn’t let anyone bring her down. Men love women who can rely on themselves and show this confidence, especially when it comes to initiating things. Guys don’t want to be the ones who are expected to initiate everything all the time. When a woman takes charge, it is a huge turn on for them. 4. Men love feeling needed. When men offer help, it’s not to make themselves seem more superior. In “Inside His Head”, written by Emmanuel Damilola, the author notes that men are actually fully aware that ladies are more than capable of handling themselves. But by letting men help out, it actually makes them feel wanted and accepted. Sounds needy, but it’s actually really sweet! Men just want to show their women that they can protect them and help them whenever they need it. 3. Trying something new. Asking “can we try something new” in relationships is something that both men and women want but are afraid to say it out loud. Men especially are worried that they’ll be judged. There are all sorts of ways you can spice up your relationship with your partner, noting that every couple has certain things on their bucket list. Sometimes relationships can get boring and mundane after two people are together for a hill, so it is always a good idea to change things up. 2. Men love compliments. According to Womansday.com, society makes us believe that “real men” don’t need to be praised. But in reality, men do love it when there is a bit of well-intentioned objectification. That means squeezing their biceps or complimenting them on their outfit, for example. 1. When women pay the bill.

Cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases known to mankind. That's why talking about it can really be sensitive. Chemotherapy can arrest rapidly growing cancer cells and save a life. If you're undergoing chemo you need to pay special attention to your nutrition to make the entire treatment more effective. In today's video, we're talking about what to eat and avoid when going through chemotherapy. Should you be eating raw eggs? What about bone broth and fruit? We're discussing all that and more. #Chemotherapy #CancerDiet #Bestie Sources: https://pastebin.com/gWJdcDFG Timestamps: Intro - 0:00 1. Dark Green Veggies - 00:37 2. Bone Broth - 01:30 3.

Dark Green Veggies Eating kale, spinach, bok choy, collard greens, mustard greens, and Swiss chard can bring numerous benefits regardless if you’re fighting cancer or not. Bone Broth According to studies, one-third of cancer deaths are caused by weakness and wasting of tissues. This is called cachexia. Apples Prolonged chemotherapy can cause fluid retention and make your hands and feet puffy. Apples are the perfect food to counteract this effect. Bananas It's time to go bananas over…well, bananas! This superfood is inexpensive and available in almost every part of the world. Sweet Potatoes Bright and colorful white, orange, and purple sweet potatoes are not just for the holiday season. Make them a part of your daily diet as they are jam-packed with anthocyanins. Now let's see what to avoid. Raw Eggs Eggs are incredibly nutritious. Adding raw eggs to your protein shakes, caesar salads, ice creams, and homemade mayonnaise can be tricky during chemo. Dry Snacks Toast, crackers, and chips can be difficult to swallow. As chemotherapy reduces the salivary flow in your mouth it gets difficult to swallow dry foods. Alcohol You might feel the urge to grab a glass of wine to unwind during this chaotic situation. But avoiding alcohol is in your best interest. Sushi Some fish like sushi and sashimi may contain high Mercury levels. Cooking or having them raw can be dangerous. Frozen ‘sushi- grade’ or ‘sashimi-grade’ fish must also be avoided. Processed Meats Your favorite turkey sandwiches, bacon, and hot dogs can be dangerous. Highly processed red meat is adulterated with cancer-causing substances for increasing its shelf life. Green Tea Are you shocked to find this healthy drink on the dark side? This drink has mixed effects on different people. For more information, please watch the video until the very end.

If you do the Military Diet, it will make you lose 10 pounds in 3 days. That's very fast weight loss. There are many different types of diets that are constantly being advertised and recommended. The trouble is finding one that can actually “talk the talk and walk the walk.” According to Dr. Mark Hyman, a nine-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, states that one of the number one reasons diets fail is because the person doesn’t have a plan that fits them. Good health is not something that is just given to people, they have to plan and earn. These are some weight loss tips for you. #MilitaryDiet #DietPlan #LoseWeight Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here is the 3-day military diet that can help you lose 10 pounds! (This diet is intended for women, but men are recommended to add an extra 100 calories a day in the form of protein.) Breakfast may be one of the most essential meals of the day simply because it will give you that desired energy first thing in the morning and it can help kickstart your metabolism. For your first meal of this 3 day military diet you can have half a grapefruit, 1 slice of toast (preferably whole wheat or multigrain) with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. If you have a peanut allergy you can substitute it with almond butter, soy butter, sunflower seed butter, hummus, pumpkin butter, or bean dip. And any breakfast isn’t complete without 1 cup of black coffee or caffeinated tea. Please note, you cannot add any sugar, cream, milk or sweeteners into your coffee or tea. These beverages are not essential to the diet as you can substitute it with any amount of water. But green tea and coffee both have thermogenic properties (burns more calories) and black coffee has the ability to suppress your appetite. The next meal of the day (lunch) consists of half a cup of tuna, another slice of toast (but no peanut butter this time) and water, black coffee or tea. If you need to season your foods then go with alternatives such as garlic salt, pepper, honey mustard, and any other low or no calorie seasoning. For dinner, you can have 3 ounces of any type of meat, 1 cup of green beans, half a banana, one small apple and one cup of vanilla ice cream. As you can tell, there isn’t a lot of food in this diet and that’s because lowering calories is what causes weight loss. If you wanna drop the pounds, you got to cut the calories! The next morning, breakfast should include one slice of multigrain or whole wheat toast, one whole egg, and half a banana. This diet is intended to last three days, and then take 4 days off. Rinse and repeat until you achieve the results you desire. The 4 days off do not mean you can binge eat and eat yourself to sickness. The goal should still be to eat around 1,500 calories or less. For lunch, you are entitled to one cup of cottage cheese (or you can replace it with 1 slice of cheddar cheese), 1 hard boiled egg and 5 saltine crackers. Dinner is served! You can have two hot dogs (minus the buns), 1 cup of broccoli, half a cup of carrots, half a banana, and half a cup of vanilla ice cream. This diet dictates vanilla ice cream only (why? I have no clue) but you can substitute ice cream (who would do that?) with one cup of apple juice or one cup of vanilla, strawberry or banana flavored almond milk. The vegetables on this diet should be steamed, baked, boiled or eaten raw. Meat should be grilled or baked, and if you are a vegetarian then you can substitute the protein sources with tofu, lentils, beans and/or portobello mushrooms. The third and final day has arrived! You’re almost there, don’t give up now! For breakfast, you are to have 5 saltine crackers, 1 slice of cheddar cheese and 1 small apple. Saltine crackers can be replaced with rice cakes (one for one) and cheddar cheese can be replaced with ham, eggs, cabbage or soy cheese. Don’t forget your black coffee or caffeinated tea! This lunch is going to be a bit small but on the menu is one slice of whole wheat or multigrain toast and one hard boiled egg. You can switch the egg out for one cup of milk, or two slices of bacon or just one chicken wing. As you can probably tell, from day 1 to day 3 there is a slow and gradual reduction of even more calories (hence the rapid weight loss.) For the last meal of day 3, you can have 1 cup of tuna, half a banana and one cup of vanilla ice cream. And remember, there is no snacking allowed on this diet. You need to eat these foods and these foods only.

7 things you should know about a colonoscopy & colon health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in America is colon cancer. This is why it is important to do tests for prevention of this type of cancer. According to stats collected by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute over 50,000 people are estimated to die in 2017 from colon cancer. If you are have any symptoms related to the disease, you should be screened by your doctor right away. #ColonHealth #Colon #Colonoscopy Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: 7. Colon Cancer Screening: There are many different kinds of screening and prevention options to check for colon cancer. While a colonoscopy is the most thorough examination to take, the U.S. Preventive Task Force recommends that people who are not at high risk for the disease to not begin regular screening until after the age 50. According to a study done by researcher Kristin Sheffield, an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Texas, “more than 30 percent of colonoscopies” performed in Texas via Medicare claims were “potentially inappropriate to screening guidelines.” Other screening options for prevention of colon cancer include a fecal occult blood test and flexible sigmoidoscopy. The University of Texas study suggests that performing a colonoscopy on patients where it would be inappropriate based on the screening guidelines may expose people to the risks associated with a colonoscopy without evidence that it will benefit them. Wondering how you can cleanse your colon? Well, keep watching til the end for some tips on how you can remove waste from your colon. Side-effects associated with a colonoscopy: According to the Canadian Cancer Society, potential risks of a colonoscopy include: small amounts of blood in stool for 1-2 days (if a biopsy was done and/or a polyp was removed); nausea, vomiting, bloating or irritation of the rectum due to substances used to cleanse the colon and the air used to inflate it. If your doctor does not recommend a colonoscopy right away, they may offer a sigmoidoscopy. This procedure is similar to a colonoscopy in that they both use a thin, flexible tube with a camera at the end to examine the colon. But the sigmoidoscopy examines only the lower third of the colon. A colonoscopy examines the entire colon. A fecal occult blood test will be recommended by doctors to check for blood in a patient's stool. If blood is present, the doctor will most likely recommend a sigmoidoscopy or a colonoscopy. Uncommon but serious colonoscopy complications: According to the Canadian Cancer Society, uncommon, but serious complications from a colonoscopy may include: bowel perforation, heavy bleeding, or an allergic reaction to the medication used for sedation. Are inappropriate colonoscopies harmful? According to the study performed by the University of Texas mentioned earlier in this story, no, inappropriate colonoscopies are not harmful to patients, they simply offer no benefit and are a bad waste of valuable hospital resources and time. What should you say to your doctor if you are getting a colonoscopy? According to the Canadian Cancer Society, the best thing to do is to ask as many questions about how you should prepare.

Here is the 14 day butt lift challenge. Being super skinny isn’t what it’s all about these days. Today, it’s all about being healthy, fit and toned. In fact, what people are really trying to have is the perfect butt. Ladies, you have to admit, figuring out what the perfect workouts are to have the perfect toosh can be…stressful. However, we here at Bestie are ready to help you with finding your booty perfection. #LoseWeight #GluteWorkout #FatLoss Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: 1. Hip Lift Progression. Here's a butt workout that'll really help you shape a nice, fat butt. The first exercise is hip lift progression. It not only tones your bum but it also relieves some tension in your back. FITNESS MAGAZINE writes that you simply get a mat, lay on your back with your arms at your sides and your knees bent. Make sure your feet are flat on the floor. Then lift your hips towards the ceiling. Do this ten times, three reps. 2. Burpees. Now here's a butt workout that you might not like, but it's great for fat loss where you want it and building a fat butt. We hate to break it to you guys, but burpees are the next workout for this challenge. LIVESTRONG notes that squatting down, thrusting your legs, doing a push-up then jumping back up are all excellent for working out the muscles in your glutes. We all hate doing it, but doing 10 burpees for three reps will guarantee improvement for your butt as well as your legs! The pain is totally worth it. All you have to do is PUSH THROUGH! 3. Perky Lift. Alright, so let's continue down the path to bottom perfection. This butt exercise is great for making a beautiful butt. A perky lift is the next exercise that works out your buttocks. It’s one of the less annoying workouts to do but you really do feel it. PREVENTION.COM notes that perky lifts specifically work out the center and outer glute. All you have to do is go on your hands and feet and raise each leg high up, fairly slowly. Do each leg 10 times, 3 reps. 4. Squats. These are integral when it comes to booty workouts, so pay attention. Want to lose weight? Want to build a beautiful, fat butt? Then do squats. In fact, squats should be your best friend if you are trying to shape up that booty of yours. Some people love them, others can’t stand them. But they are the key to your success. WOMEN’S HEALTH notes that using a resistance band will help add more pressure, but it’s not a necessity. To do this, you have to stand with your feet shoulder-distance apart. Then reach your arms forward so they’re parallel to the floor, and bend your knees. Here, you should try and do 15 reps! 5. Sumo Squats. A variation on the previous exercise, but important nonetheless. Speaking of ways to lose weight, this butt exercise is great for that as well. Sumo squats are your next go-to. WOMEN’S HEALTH writes that with these ones you should stand with your heels shoulder-distance apart, turning your toes open slightly. Then simply bend your knees, making sure your hips are pushed back and lower down into a squat. You want to go as low as you can until your hips are slightly below the level of your knees. You want to do as many reps as you possibly can, but start with 10 reps and you should be good! 6. The Super Lift. If you are a fan of Superman, then these butt exercises will be your cup of tea. BODYBUILDING.COM instructs to first lie straight with your face down on the floor or a mat. As you are doing this, your arms should be extended in front of you. Then, at the same time, raise your arms, legs, and chest off the floor and hold this contraction for about 2 seconds. Then slowly lower your arms, legs, and chest back down to the starting position. Make sure to inhale as you do this. Do this ten times, 3 reps! 7. Jump Rope. Jumping rope is great for your body for a lot of reasons. ALTERNATIVE DAILY notes that it won’t build muscle strength in the way that weightlifting will. But skipping will still TONE your muscles all over your body…including your buttocks. If you practice enough, you’ll be able to jump fairly quickly at which point you want to try and jump AT LEAST 100 times. You’ll definitely feel that one in the morning.

Here are easy to follow tips to look luxurious without the cost. #Style #Fashion #StyleTips Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: 1. A Handbag: A handbag adds a lot to your entire look, believe it or not. Your clothes don’t have to look like you bought them at the most expensive store, but a handbag can make any outfit look amazing. According to Reader’s Digest, a quality handbag is worth a little more of an investment. Get one with a simple design in a neutral color. 2. Fragrance: Wearing a fragrance with any outfit makes you look a little more luxurious. That doesn’t mean you have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a perfume. Simply find a scent that you love and apply it to your skin. According to Into The Gloss, you should never apply the perfume to your clothing or hair…just directly to your skin. 3. Jewelry: According to WhoWhatWear.com, spending a ton of money on jewelry is not necessary to make you look more glamorous. In fact, inexpensive jewelry does the trick (if styled thoughtfully, of course). The site advises to opt for clear crystals over plastic gemstones and choose darker metals over excessively shiny ones. 4. A Jacket: You can be wearing ripped cloth, and if you have a cute jacket on top of it, it instantly becomes an outfit. Cosmopolitan notes that you need a quality jacket that will last you for a while and you can pair with any outfit. Personally, an oversized jean jacket does it for more people! It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg either. Just make sure that you take good care of your jacket. A good jacket can last you years on end, and is a great way to spice up any outfit. Nice jackets look classy, sleek, stylish and elegant. So the next time you’re out shopping for a new jacket, keep all these things in mind. 5. Bra and panty lines: Cosmopolitan also mentions that visible bra and panty lines are a huge no-no when it comes to looking luxurious. Unfortunately, a lot of clothes on the cheaper side tend to be flimsy and poorly-fitted. Luckily, if you have a well-fitted bra and panties, people won’t be able to tell the difference between an expensive outfit and a lower-priced one! 6. Black and white: If you are into fashion at all, you probably know that you can never go wrong wearing black. Doesn’t matter if you paid 20 bucks for the outfit or 200 bucks for the outfit. Wearing earthy colors like browns often makes your outfit look dingy and sad. But black and white make your outfit look like a million bucks! 7. Attention to detail: Paying attention to the detail of your clothes is key. It costs nothing to sew up a loose thread or a missing button. According to Reader’s Digest, you should never wear an item of clothing with a stain, hole or a missing button. That naturally comes with cheaper clothes, but it takes two seconds to fix up! 8. Heels: Wearing pointy heels makes you look classy, professional and expensive. Whowhatwhere.com notes that the beauty of it is that you don’t have to get yourself the most expensive shoes. You can find pointy heeled shoes on a reasonable budget. They are pretty comfortable on your feet as well! 9. Hair: An article written in the Huffington Post mentions that having incredible hair makes any outfit look put together, regardless how much you paid for it. That doesn’t mean you have to have long, wavy hair. You can tie your hair back in a nice tight bun and still look like a million bucks. 10. A steamer: Huffington Post also notes that using a steamer over an iron goes a long way toward making your clothes look perfect. Wrinkled anything makes you look like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. A steamer smoothes out your clothes to perfection. Definitely worth purchasing one, and it’s not expensive! 11. Shoes: According to Reader’s Digest, if you want to look extra polished, matching your shoes to your handbag goes a long way. It’s pointless to drop a ton of money on shoes because they get ruined anyway. But making them match with your handbag makes you look a bit more luxurious. Also, it’s important to keep your shoes in tip-top shape. 12. The tucked in look: The final tip that I’m sure a lot of us who are into fashion have noticed is the tucked in look. Reader’s Digest notes that a tucked-in shirt with either a skirt or trousers goes a long way. It makes you look classy, stylish and polished. The top doesn’t have to be tightly fitted, and a more monochrome look in black, white or navy goes a long way.

Auto mechanics share these 6 things you should never do to your car. There are all sorts of things that can happen if you don’t take care of your car. From engine issues to transmission issues and even potentially dangerous accidents, owning a vehicle isn’t as easy as getting a licence and buying a car. There are certain responsibilities involved with driving a car, which is why you should always pay attention to even the slightest of problems in your vehicle when you're driving. #Car #Auto #CarDiy Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Car Rule #6 - refusing to get your car checked out after going over a curb: If you accidentally hit a curb, make sure to take your car to a car shop in order to ask the mechanic to check the balance and alignment. If the wheels are out of balance as a result, then you will not have good control of your car. It is better to be safe than sorry. You don’t want to put yourself or anybody else at risk by driving in a car that has balance or alignment issues. At the end of the day, if you are responsible enough to own and drive a car, you should be responsible enough to get it checked out whenever you experience any issues which could put you or anybody else on the road in danger. Car Rule #5 - putting your car in park: Auto mechanics advise never to select “park” while you are driving. Do not try doing this. Even though your car’s system will ignore this command for safety reasons, giving your car this command will eventually damage it. If this is done at an extremely slow speed, you shouldn’t have much to worry about in terms of damage, but if you do it at high speeds (or if you do it quite often), you can cause potential damage to your car. So just avoid doing it at all costs! Car Rule #4 - never over fill your engine: Auto mechanics advise that you should be careful to never over fill your engine. The engine always comes with the dipstick which has a “full” point indicated. Be sure to only fill it to that level and never over. Over filling can cause failure , causing smoke to emit from your car. Overfilling the oil in your car can damage the internal parts of the engine and eventually lock it up. If you overfill the oil in your car, you can drain the excess oil from your car's oil pan. Car Rule #3- don’t let your tank get to empty: Another car tip that auto mechanics advise is not to wait until your fuel tank is empty before refilling it. Even the cleanest petrol has small particles in it and gravity will keep it at the bottom of your petrol tank. If you drive on an empty tank, you will be driving on fumes which will get sucked into your engine. A good car tip to follow is to fill up your car when it gets to around one quarter of the tank. Car Rule #2 - the off engine button: If you have an older car, you may not know what I’m talking about. Newer cars have off engine buttons which automatically turn a car off. To turn off a car, all a person has to do is push the button. Cool, right? It sure is, but auto mechanics advise that you should never press the “off engine” button while driving. However, if you are driving at a reasonable speed and happen to do it, nothing bad will happen. That being said, cars are designed these days to prepare for slight mishaps like this. In the event that you press the off engine button while driving, your car likely won’t stop. If you are driving at an extremely slow speed (five miles per hour, for example), your car will probably turn off. But if you are driving at high speeds, your car will have a built in function or feature that doesn’t allow it to stop in the event that you accidentally press the button. So don’t panic if you accidentally hit the off engine button while cruising on the highway! Car Rule #1 - oil changes: Follow your manufacturer’s specifications on how often you should change your car’s oil. This applies especially to brand new cars. Some manufacturers use thin oil when the car leaves the factory and this oil has to be changed around 1000 km in.

Here is how you can prevent blood clots and stop a bursting artery. #BloodClot #Arteries #Health Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: The arterial blood clot: Before we get into the different types of blood thinners, we should discuss blood clots. Let’s start with the arterial clot. I have already mentioned that blood clots can develop in the arteries. They can block blood and oxygen from reaching certain organs. These types of clots will often form in the hands and feet. But in more severe cases, they can also develop in the brain, causing a stroke. The venous blood clot: Another type of blood clot is the venous blood clot. This is when these clots form in the veins and tend to develop very slowly. Venous clots are more prone to development after trauma or surgery. There are three types of clots that can form in your veins. The first one is a pulmonary embolism (this clot can travel to the lungs and cause death). The second type of clot is deep vein thrombosis (usually occurs in the lower pelvis, leg or thigh). The last type of clot is superficial venous thrombosis (occurs in the veins closest to the skin and can cause severe pain). If you experience inflamed skin, reddened skin near your vein or a vein that has become too painful to touch, you may be suffering from a venous blood clot. Symptoms of a blood clot: The easiest way to determine if you have a blood clot is to get it checked out. But you need to look out for certain symptoms. If you experience cold hands or feet, loss of color in the affected area, muscle pain, or weakness in a certain area, you should make an appointment with your doctor. Other symptoms of blood clots including heart pain, chest pain, upper body discomfort or pain, and shortness of breath. Blood clots can also make you feel weak, dizzy, and confused. They can also lead to severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Risk factors: There are certain risk factors that contribute to blood clots. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, suffer from diabetes or are addicted to smoking, you have an increased risk of developing blood clots. The American Society of Hematology states that the risk factors associated with blood clotting vary between the different types of blood clots. For example, the risk factors for developing venous blood clots differ greatly from those associated with arterial blood clots. Blood clot treatment: There are many different types of treatments associated with blood clots. The treatment that you receive will depend entirely on your health as well as the location of your blood clot. Some types of treatment for blood clots include anticoagulants, which help prevent blood clots from forming. Thrombolytics are also used to help dissolve blood clots, while a thrombectomy is the surgical removal of a blood clot. Some patients who are diagnosed with venous blood clots may be referred to a hematologist, which is a type of doctor that specializes in blood disease

What are you addicted to based on your zodiac sign? People often have good and bad habits. According to Astrology, some of these habits may be related to you zodiac sign. #ZodiacSigns #ZodiacSign #TheZodiacSigns Timestamps: 12. Aries: 1:22 11. Taurus: 1:46 10. Gemini: 2:47 9. Cancer: 3:31 8. Leo: 4:25 7. Virgo: 5:11 6. Libra: 5:36 5. Scorpio: 6:03 4. Sagittarius: 6:34 3. Capricorn: 7:08 2. Aquarius: 7:31 1. Pisces: 8:20 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 12. Aries (March 21- April 19): Coffee\Tea Arises have two modes: beast mode or not mode at all. The impulsive Aries needs coffee to keep them going because as soon as the laziness kicks in, there’s no going back. If you’re a former coffee addict who’s given up their ways, then tea is probably your new life support. 11. Taurus (April 20- May 20): Food The way to a Taurus’ heart is food. Although Tauruses are among the most stable of the zodiac signs and don’t develop many addictions, food is their vice. One of the most genuine and authentic of the signs, these foodies tend to attach their feelings to their food. 10. Gemini (May 21- June 20): Social Media When Geminis want to avoid their feelings, they turn to social media. Social media allows them to get lost in the opinions and lives of others, whether on Twitter or Instagram. Social media works within the complexities of a Gemini’s personality: the desire to do many things without diving too deep into any of them. 9. Cancer (June 21- July 22): Romance Cancers are sensitive, loyal and ultimately emotional creatures who cling to positive emotions and do everything they can to avoid the negative ones. Being a water sign, Cancers tend to absorb things very deeply, so whether it’s a romantic gesture or even just a rom-com, Cancers can’t seem to get enough. Cancers are extremely passionate and have trouble hiding their emotions. 8. Leo (July 23 – August 22): Shopping Because vanity is common among Leos they tend to be a materialistic sign. Leos tend to enjoy showing off their material possessions, and some of them can sometimes have bad spending habits. This is because leos are attracted to excess (whether materialistic or in other aspects of their lives), so once given a credit card they won’t be able to resist splurging on themselves. They love to splurge and sometimes just don’t have any self control when it comes to making impulse purchases. 7. Virgo (August 23- September 22): Toxic Relationships Virgos tend to be drawn to toxic relationships because they struggle with expressing their emotions. Virgos actually have one of the biggest hearts among the signs but tend to easily fall prey to relationships that destroy them emotionally because they tend to suppress this side of themselves. 6. Libra (September 23 – October 22): Love Libra, symbolized by the scales of justice, is the sign of fairness and equality. Many Libras become attached to the idea of finding someone else to complete them or balance them out, and can easily become addicted to the idea of love. 5. Scorpio (October 23- November 21): Reality Television If you’re a Scorpio you probably watch too much TV. But TV shows that mimic reality, such as The Bachelor or Big Brother, are your weakness. Because Scorpios love passion and competition, over-the-top reality shows are their happy place. 4. Sagittarius (November 22- December 21): Traveling Sags are known for their love for exploring, going to new places and experiencing new things. 3. Capricorn (December 22- January 19): Working Capricorns are work-addicts. Natural hard workers, Capricorns put success on a pedestal and are always striving to outdo themselves. 2. Aquarius (January 20- February 18): Books/ Video Games In a technology-driven world, being able to enjoy a good book isn’t a bad thing. Aquarius tend to be intellectual, easy-going and free-thinkers who love getting lost in a fantasy world; their problem lies in getting back out. 1. Pisces (February 19- March 20): Sleeping Pisces are gentle and sensitive at heart who tend to stress emotionally. For Pisces, there’s no better way to escape their daily emotions than a good night of sleep or a power nap.

These facts about ancient women are not taught by most history teachers. Yes, Ancient Women Wore Bikinis! Women have taken a huge leap in regards to equal rights over the centuries. They have constantly fought to make a difference for women across the world. But what about the ancient times? Those are historic times, especially for women. But teachers are not teaching about the history of ancient women. There are many interesting facts that many people don't know about women in ancient history. #Women #AncientHistory #Facts Timestamps: 1 Ancient Women Had Equal Rights to the Throne: 1:24 2 The Right to Divorce: 1:54 3 Women Could Have High Religious Positions: 3:00 4 Ancient Women Were Highly Educated: 4:13 5 Ancient Women Wore Bikinis: 5:05 6 Ancient Women Were Very Athletic: 5:50 7 Chinese Women Could Be Abandoned By Their Husbands For Talking Excessively: 6:38 8 Ancient Indian Women Could Choose Their Husband: 9:32 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here are 8 Curious Facts About Ancient Women in History That Teachers Don’t Mention. 1 Ancient Women Had Equal Rights to the Throne: In Egypt, the government was actually more democratic than most ancient kingdoms. What made it more democratic is that any child, regardless of the gender, had equal rights to inherit the throne. As long as they were the child of the ruler, they had a shot at ruling! Men and women had close to equal rights at that time. 2 The Right to Divorce: In Ancient Greece, women were not considered citizens and their rights were extremely limited. But what they did have was the right to divorce. All the woman needed to do was have another male representative make the deal on her behalf. But what if the man wanted a divorce? All he had to do was throw her out the door. 3 Women Could Have High Religious Positions: In ancient Egyptian times, it was very common for women to hold high religious positions. In this day and age, you only see women as nuns. But in Egypt, they had the opportunity to hold the position “God’s Wife Amun.” The most important duty that God’s Wife Amun had was to assist the high priest. They would also be responsible for attending to God’s statue. 4 Ancient Women Were Highly Educated: The education that women possessed in Ancient Rome was very controversial. Women were generally taught very basic writing and reading skills. But some families did not agree with those teachings. So they would hire private tutors to give their daughters a higher education. The main reason for this is it would make their daughter a better option for husbands because of her intellect. 5 Ancient Women Wore Bikinis: When you think of bikinis, you think of the western civilization. But what if I told you that the bikini dates back to the ancient Roman days. Roman women wore something extremely close to what a bikini looks like today. 6 Ancient Women Were Very Athletic: Today, women are extremely athletic. Just take a look at Serena Williams, she’s absolutely dominant. But ancient women were also extremely athletic. Take Roman women for example; they were heavily involved in lifting weights and competing. They took part in many wrestling and boxing activities. 7 Chinese Women Could Be Abandoned By Their Husbands For Talking Excessively: Ancient China gave women almost no rights. If a woman was married, she was considered her husband’s property. In most cases, the first time a woman would meet her husband was at the wedding. As you could probably imagine, these types of marriages led to a lot of divorces. The reasons for divorce included unfaithfulness, theft, jealousy, and failure to bear a son. But the wife could also be abandoned by her husband if she talked too much. No one likes an excessive talker, but abandoning your wife because of it would sound crazy to society today. This goes to show how the history of ancient women is different than the everyday lives of women today. 8 Ancient Indian Women Could Choose Their Husband: This is an interesting fact because even in this day and age, arranged marriages are still very common in India. But in the ancient times, believe it or not, women were equal to men. Not only did she have the right to choose her own husband, but she could also get married whenever she wanted. Ancient Indian women also were highly educated because they received equal educational opportunities.

According to experts, here are 20 beauty secrets, tips, and hacks, that you should know. #BeautySecrets #Beauty #BeautyHacks Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: 1) Sunscreen: Cosmetics expert Mamie McDonald states that trying to achieve a healthy complexion without sunscreen will not work. Another expert, Dr. Lancer, advises people to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. 2) Don’t Over Dry Your Skin: If your skin has inflammation, you do not want to use anti-spot creams. They contain benzoyl peroxide, which will dry the skin, aggravate it and inflame it even more. 3) Always Remember Your Neck: If a woman’s concerned about how old she looks, she might want to take a look at her neck. The skin on the neck is extremely thin. This means women need to take care of it like they do their face. 4) Use An Ice Cube On Your Skin: To avoid a dull complexion, Dr. Ava Shamban, a dermatologist out of Santa Monica, advises using an ice cube. Rubbing it for a few seconds will stimulate circulation and can even help your skin glow. I bet you this was number one of the beauty secrets you don’t know. Bring out those ice cubes! 5) Storing Your Accessories Properly: Most people are told to store their beauty accessories in the bathroom. Dr. Debra Jaliman warns people that this is not the correct way to do it. The humidity makes them expire quicker than the expiry date, she states. An alternative is to store face creams and beauty accessories in the fridge. 6) Clean Everything That Touches Your Skin: Dr. Lancer advises everyone to clean any object that will touch their face. You wouldn’t touch your face with dirty hands, so why would you with other things? Dr. Lancer says you should change pillowcases at least once a week. If you have naturally oily skin, change them every three days. 7) Avoid Using Scrubs and Sponges: Skincare specialist Christie Kidd advises people who are prone to acne to avoid using scrubs and sponges. Another one of the beauty secrets you probably don’t know is that when you use these skin care items, they irritate the skin and cause more inflammation. So for those prone to acne, try using a water-and-aspirin paste on your face. 8) Facial Massages Are Beneficial: For those trying to get rid of the dark circles under the eyes, experts recommend a lymph drainage massage. The massage will stimulate the lymph flow and smooth the skin, and the result is the bags disappearing. 9) Hand Care: One of the beauty secrets you don’t know is hand care. The skin on your hands is just as thin as the skin on your neck and face. If you’re doing household work, try using gloves. Also try to moisturize your hands with natural, organic cream. Your hands touch your face more than anything, so you’ll want them clean. 10) Don’t Go to Bed With Makeup On: Listen up ladies, because most women have probably done this at least a few times in their lives. Women that go to bed with makeup on need to stop now! Sleeping with your makeup on can block your pores and cause inflammation. It’s plain and simple, clean your skin thoroughly before going to bed. Don’t risk aging prematurely! Take those extra few minutes before bed (even if you’ve spent all night dancing and are way too tired to do it) and take off all your makeup. You’ll thank yourself later! 11) Take Your Bra Off Before Bed: Even if you had a late night and you’re exhausted, always take off your bra before bed. If you keep it on, it will cut the blood circulation. It will also cause the skin to become irritated and the skin under the straps will become darkened. You’ll be way more comfortable too! 12) Drink More Water: According to Debbie Strong, senior health editor at Everyday Health, the best thing to do for your skin is to drink more water. 13) Layer Your Eyeliner: Getting your wing perfect is a struggle that most people who wear makeup can relate to. To get that straight edge just right, Ysolt Usigan, beauty and style contributor at Huffington Post recommends lining your eyes with a pencil liner first because it’s easier to get the line straight. Afterward, go over the line with a liquid liner. This will ensure that your wing is sharp and it’ll also increase the staying power. 14) No Powder: After the age of 35, avoid wearing any powder. According to freelance style and beauty editor Ingrid Schmidt, the powder will settle into the wrinkles around your eyes and mouth and will instantly age your skin. Yikes!

It was on July 21, 1983, when researchers recorded a temperature of -89.2 Celsius. 4. The Earth’s magnetic poles: Every 450 thousand years, the Earth will switch magnetic poles. So what was once the magnetic north has been changed to the south. But have no fear, the next change is under 2000 years away! 5. The tallest mountain in the world: While most people regard Mount Everest as the tallest mountain in the world, if you were to measure a mountain from base to mountaintop, then Mauna Kea in Hawaii would be the tallest one. 6. The largest meteorite to have ever landed on earth: The largest meteorite to have landed on Earth was found in Namibia, Africa and it weighs 66 tons! However, this meteorite did NOT break upon impact and is estimated to have landed on Earth more than 80,000 years ago. 7. The truth about the Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Tyrannosaurus Rex might not be as fast as movies would like to tell you. Scientists now estimate that the T-Rex can run between 15 to 25 miles per hour. This is much slower than a car but could be faster than some people on foot! 8.

There has not been any rain there for over 2 million years. 9. The oldest fossils on earth: The oldest fossils to have ever been found were around 3.5 billion years old. They were not of any animals or plants but of bacteria! 10. The Earth’s atmosphere is split up into different layers. The Carmen Line is the sky you see and that is about 62 kilometers from the Earth. There are four more layers which get larger and thinner as one ascends. The last one is called the exosphere and it is the highest you can go without leaving Earth’s gravitational pull. This is where most satellites end up. 11. The Dead Sea: The Dead Sea is the lowest land point in all of the world. It lies around 430 meters below sea level and it borders Israel, Palestine, and Jordan. 12.

Implementing simple habits during the day can actually help you lose weight when you are sleeping and in today’s video, we will tell you how you can burn more fat while you are sleeping. #LoseWeightWhileSleeping #HowToLoseWeightWhileYouSleep #Bestie Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: 1. Eat Citrus Fruits: Citrus fruits contain the fat-burning nutrients fiber and vitamin C. Vitamin C stimulates your body's fat-burning capability found in the carnitine amino acid. Vitamin C also plays a role in your body's fat processing capability. This nutrient speeds the process up by diluting the fat and then eliminating it from your body. 2. Stand Up More: Something as simple as standing up more during the day can help you burn more fat when you are sleeping at night. A recent study found that standing and sitting more frequently can lead to relatively fast, and low effort weight loss. 3. Sleep in a Dark Room: This is something that may surprise you but research has proven otherwise. A recent study published revealed that melatonin, which is the hormone that makes you feel sleepy, is also responsible for increasing brown fat production. Brown fat burns more calories than white fat. 4. Drink More Water: This is a very effective little trick. It works both psychologically and physiologically. 50 percent of the time when you think you are hungry, you’re actually just thirsty so instead of reaching for a bag of chips, drink a glass of water first and wait 10 minutes. Chances are, your hunger will pass. For more information, please watch the video until the very end.

There are heart attack signals and heart attack symptoms that will surface a month before it will happen. It’s our job to acknowledge them and not ignore them. It could save our lives. Never underestimate the importance of heart health! Keep watching for the top heart attack signs that can occur a month before it will happen. #HeartFailiure #HeartDisease #HeartHealth Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music Summary: 8. Cold Sweats and Dizziness: When your body has poor blood circulation, your brain will not receive the proper blood flow that it requires to function properly. This is a sign that you may be in some danger, according to Medicinenet. You should seek medical attention if the cold sweats and dizziness do not subside. 7. Chest Pain or Pressure: This is one of the most noticeable heart attack signs. It’s called angina. Medicinenet states this is caused when your heart is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood. Many people ignore this symptom because they think it’s just indigestion. But if the pressure is constant, it’s a direct sign that a heart attack may happen. If you feel unusual chest pain or pressure, you may be having heart issues. 6. Weak: According to the Daily Health Post, if you start to sweat and feel weak, or start experiencing nausea, jaw pain, or heart pain, you might be in danger of having a heart attack. These heart attack symptoms occur because your arteries are starting to narrow. When your arteries become narrow, there is no longer proper blood flow throughout the body. If your heart does not get sufficient, blood, it will fail. Watch for the signals! 5. Flu-Like Symptoms: If you are in danger of having a heart attack, you may begin to develop flu-like symptoms, says the Daily Health Post. These symptoms include fever, fatigue and chest pain. These symptoms can last between 2 to 10 days. Depending on your age, if you’re an older individual and can’t shake these heart attack symptoms, go see your doctor immediately. Let me be clear though; if you get the flu or a cold, it does not mean you are in danger of having a heart attack, but the symptoms need to be monitored. 4. Chronic Fatigue: If you are constantly feeling tired and sluggish, and it’s unprecedented, there might be a loss of blood flow to your heart, explains the Daily Health Post. This generally occurs when there is a large buildup of plaque in the arteries that carry the blood to-and-from the heart. 3. Shortness of Breath: Another organ that suffers from loss of blood flow is the lung. If your lungs do not receive enough blood, you will not be able to breathe enough air. If you don’t breathe enough air, your brain will not be able to receive enough oxygen. Not breathing enough air will result in shortness of breath, according to Medicinenet. 2. Insomnia: If you are having trouble going to sleep, this can lead to a heart attack. Most people that suffer from insomnia are also suffering from anxiety and depression, says WebMD. Anxiety can increase your blood pressure which can lead to a heart attack. Research has shown that depression and heart attacks are linked, so trying to figure out what’s making you sad could save your life. 1. Stomach Pain: WebMD states that if you start to feel abdominal pains such as nausea and bloating, it could be an early sign of a heart attack. It could just as easily be nothing serious, but abdominal pains before a heart attack will leave and return in short periods of time. If you feel both stomach pain and heart pain, you should see a doctor.

These are the things that you were taught in school that are actually lies. #Lies #WrongInformation #Myth Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. Human Evolution: Most people have seen the photograph of evolution. It starts with a crouching ape, to a standing man. But this actually isn’t the case. The truth is that humans and apes evolved from a common species. Although we are 99% related, we didn’t actually derive from apes themselves. 2. Isaac Newton Discovering Gravity: You know that classic story in which Isaac Newton discovered the physics of gravity after an apple fell on his head? Get this: it never happened. Although he might have told a rendered version to his friends, there is no recorded proof that this happened. Newton actually spent something like two years on his theory of universal gravity. 3. The Pilgrims Came to America for more than Freedom: The pilgrims left England as they were trying to separate from the church. The part of the story that is often left out is that they then went to Holland where the separatists had religious freedom. However, they then came to America because they feared their children were losing their English heritage. 4. Columbus Proving the Earth is round: Despite popular belief, Columbus didn’t sail around the ocean to prove that the earth was round. At the time, this was already common knowledge and it had even been written 2,000 years before that in Ancient Greece. 5. Einstein Failed Math: You may have heard the rumor that Einstein wasn’t the best student and that he had even failed math once. This is most likely a phrase made up to encourage students because it’s not actually true. He got good grades in school and by the age of 11, he was reading college-level physics books. 6. Slave Workers Built the Pyramids: This is an image that has been a part of history lessons and movie adaptations for centuries. However, recent research suggests that the builders were actually paid and well fed. Workers who died during labor were even buried in a tomb nearby. 7. Viewing the Great Wall: The Great Wall of China cannot actually be seen by the naked eye from space. Although a few parts of it were visible in a photo taken by an astronaut, it can’t actually be seen. It is impossible to see the Great Wall of China with the unaided eye, even from low orbit. 8. Christopher Columbus Discovered America - It was someone else: As we mentioned earlier in the video, Christopher Columbus didn't discover America. It was someone else who discovered America about 400 years before Columbus was even born. 9. Blue Veins: Although your veins appear blue, this actually has nothing to do with oxygen. It just appears de-oxygenated blue to the naked eye because of the way light penetrates the skin. Blood is always red! 10. Edison Invented the Lightbulb: Usually, Thomas Edison gets the sole credit for the invention of the light bulb. However, 70 years prior, Humphry Davy had already invented the arc light. There were several people working on plans for light bulbs, it just happened to be Edison and his team that came up with the perfect formula. 11. Humans have 5 Senses: Everyone is familiar with the five senses (smell, sight, hearing, taste, and touch) but did you know that these are just your primary senses and not your only senses? Humans actually have up to 20 senses including sense of space, vibration, time, direction, and temperature. 12. Toilet Flushing Across the Globe: Contrary to popular belief, the water doesn’t run down the drain in the opposite direction in the different hemispheres. It really only has to do with the shape and angle of the bowl. 13. The Trojan Horse: This is the theory that the Greeks offered their enemy a giant horse as a gift. When the gift was brought into the city it was supposedly filled with soldiers who took the town. Although it was mentioned in The Odyssey it was most likely just a myth. 14. Space is Zero Gravity: Although astronauts are able to float around in space, there isn’t zero gravity. There is still gravity up there, it just diminishes the further you move from earth. In fact, the reason astronauts feel completely weightless when they are in space has to do with the position they are in compared to the spaceship. 15. We only use 10% of our brains: Thanks to movies such as Lucy and Matilda, people assume that there is a large portion of the brain not being used and when unlocked we can access cool powers. The entire brain is active throughout the day.
