Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half...

Study: Do you know which the most harmful stress to health is, that creates series of bad consequences?

Financial stress is the most damaging to an individual's health and general well-being, accelerates the aging process, affects health biomarkers and has a stronger effect on mental health compared to the consequences of grieving an illness, severe loss or divorce, according to a new study by British scientists.

HEALTH, STRESS, STUDY, FINANCES,

 Almost 5,000 adults aged 50 and over took part in the British study, which was carried out by scientists from University College London (UCL) and King's College, who said their analysis was the first to investigate how they differed from types of chronic health-related stress in older age groups.

A nationally representative study confirmed that financial stress is associated with long-term changes in key health indicators, such as the immune, nervous and hormonal systems.

They compared the six most common stress factors

Of all the six most common stressors studied by the British scientists, namely financial stress, caring for a seriously ill or disabled person, disability, bereavement in the family, illness and divorce, financial stress was found to be the most damaging factor associated with the most risky health outcomes.

This was determined by examining four biomarkers in the blood – cortisol (a hormone produced in response to stress), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). All of these are immune factors associated with the development of stress, the development of inflammation, and aging, while IGF-1 is associated with both aging and longevity.

The study found that study participants who were stressed about their financial situation alone were 60 percent more likely to develop a high-risk health profile after four years.

For each additional stressful situation, such as divorce, that probability jumped an additional 19 percent.

The observed relationship held regardless of the genetics, socioeconomic factors, age or gender of the participants, or their lifestyle.

The study also found that financial stress, severe loss, and long-term illness most strongly influenced changes in immune and neuroendocrine biomarkers, suggesting a continuing physical effect of chronic stress.

Another conclusion of British scientists is that chronic stress can cause hormonal changes and immune reactions, which can affect the worsening of physical and mental health problems.

Epidemiologist Odessa Hamilton from UCL highlighted the invasive impact of financial stress on various aspects of life, eventually manifesting in some cases as family conflict, social exclusion, homelessness or hunger.

Although the British study does not directly link stress and long-term health problems, it does highlight the huge impact stress has on the aging body.

The results of the research were published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.

Oil prices rose above $75, with US stocks in focus

Oil prices rose above $75 in international markets on Friday, boosted by signs of a strengthening US economy and a sharp drop in inventories ahead of further supply cuts from Saudi Arabia.  On the London market, the price of a barrel for delivery in September was 82 cents higher in the afternoon than at the close of trading yesterday and amounted to $75.33.

Trojan apps that take photos of users without permission, if you have them, delete them

  ESET antivirus experts have released a new list of Android messaging apps that track users and steal their information. These are apps from the Google Play Store and almost all of them look like regular messaging apps. However, behind the scenes they run a remote device access Trojan known as "VajraSpy" and are part of the "Patchwork APT" campaign, with the primary goal of spying on downloaders. These apps can steal your contacts, files, call history and messages, and some can even access your WhatsApp or Signal conversations, record phone calls or see what notifications you receive, the website PhoneArena" published post. The worst that has been discovered is that they can take pictures of users and record sound in the environment. They are primarily used in Pakistan and India, but it is possible to find them in other areas as well. If you accidentally came across them, skip them, and if you downloaded them, delete them. These are the Google Play Store apps ...

The global appetite for solar panels is exacerbating the silver shortage

Technological changes in the production of solar panels are increasing demand for silver, a phenomenon that is deepening a shortage in the supply of the precious metal, while there is limited opportunity on the horizon to secure additional mining, reports "Bloomberg". Silver, in paste form, is used for the conductive layer on the front and back of silicon solar cells. But the sector is already starting to produce more efficient variants of cells that use much more metal, and this will contribute to increasing the already growing consumption.   Solar power still represents a relatively small portion of total silver demand, but it is growing. According to a report by The Silver Institute, it will account for 14% of consumption this year, up from about 5% in 2014. Much of that growth is coming from China, which is expected to install more solar panels this year than the United States. Demand for silver from the solar industry is growing. Chart: Bloomberg Solar energy is “a great...
