If you care about your health, these 7 discoveries will amaze you

First of all, eating regular meals is good for your digestion. It prevents hunger pains, so you don't eat more than you need. Even if you don't need to lose weight, balancing calories is important.

When you eat on a schedule, your organism gets used to it. It's good for your inner clock, technically called circadian rhythms. They are internal variations in the organism controlled by your brain that occur along a 24-hour cycle. When your inner clock works fine, your immune system and sleep patterns won't let you down.

As children, we've been told to "sit up straight" all the time, but recent research suggests that we NEED to slouch sometimes! Sitting slumped is not our enemy. In fact, slouching eases back pain, helps our joints and relaxes muscles.

The main rule is not to seat in ANY position for too long. If you remain in one position for more than an hour, even sitting up straight will be harmful. Take breaks and change positions to keep your back healthy. Don't kick yourself if you want to sit a little slumped for a while.

The research was conducted in Colorado. The levels of dangerous hydrocarbons detected during the research were close to those in oil refineries and auto garages. Approximately 70% of surveyed salon employees reported at least one health issue connected with their work environment.

Working in a nail salon for a long time may result in regular headaches, coughing, skin irritation, shortness of breath and exceed the risk of asthma, leukemia, lymphoma and cancer. These are only the issues connected with the chemicals nail masters work with, not to mention side effects of sitting all day long.

As it turns out, living in a colder region may help you deal with allergies and inflammations. Many infectious diseases are not present in cold areas. Moreover, cold weather is good for our brain: when it's cold, we think clearer and perform our daily tasks more effectively.

If the label says that your food is cholesterol-free, it doesn't mean that it won't raise your cholesterol level. The thing is that our body cholesterol may be increased after consuming trans fats, which naturally don't contain cholesterol. So, if you see baked or fried goods with "cholesterol free" labels, it doesn't mean they won't affect your cholesterol level.

Hormone serotonin is considered a mood stabilizer, and vitamin B6 helps our brain to produce it. One banana contains 30% of your recommended daily intake of B6! Even one fruit is enough to stimulate the serotonin level in your organism. Remember that bananas are very high in calories, so try not to eat more than 2 bananas a day.

According to the scientists of the University of California, sugar is not just extra calories. Consuming sugar increases the risk of cancer, diabetes, dementia, liver diseases, high blood pressure... the list goes on and on. Sugar is responsible for as many serious diseases as cigarettes.

If sugar is the main cause of diabetes and obesity worldwide, it kills even more people than tobacco. Anyway, scientists are still unable to prove it – almost everyone eats sugar, and it's hard to control a global study about it.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to cut down unnecessary sugar consumption today – it is found almost in all foods, especially the ready-made ones. The only way to stay safe is to eat responsibly and always remember about the nutritional value of different foods.
