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.

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

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WRITE LAWS: A regulation written entirely by chatbots was adopted in Brazil

  The city council of Porto Alegre, the capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, passed a law whose text was written entirely with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) produced by ChatGPT. The document was created by AI with the help of questions entered by city council member Ramiro Rosario, and the proposal of that law allows the municipality not to charge taxpayers for replacing water meters if they are stolen, reported TASS. The city council already approved the document, and it was signed by the mayor Sebastiu Melu, and the members of the council, the mayor, and the citizens only found out after the law was passed that it was completely written by AI. - Our strategy was not to tell anyone that the AI did it, we just wanted to conduct an experiment. In the coming years, society will face a revolution in various fields thanks to artificial intelligence, and politics will not be left out of these changes, Rosario said. The American company OpenAI introduced the ChatGP
