  In 1997, a French mistress named Jeanne Calment went to doom after spending 122 years on planet earth. She is the oldest person in history. Dmitry Kaminskiy, a millionaire, promised to give one million dollars to anyone who could break Jeanne's record. Living to this age is merely impossible, maybe only a few likely to accomplish it. The human body isn't forced to adapt to extreme aging, simply isn't built for extreme aging. Why are we aging? How does aging counteract the body's effect to stay alive? We know what it means to age. But finding a proper definition of aging is still a challenge. The internal processes and interactions with the surroundings like toxins in the air, water, and our diet result in changing structure and function of body cells. Continuously, the failure of the whole organism might occur.  Recently, researchers have sorted nine physiological traits ranging from genetic modifications to the cell's regenerative ability. The cell's regenera

  Acquiring mastery in any skill takes practice. Practice is nothing but a successive repetition of beneficial actions towards our goal. Practice eases our path and also increases speed and confidence. What happens in our brain when we practice? The better part is that practice makes us better at things. Our brain consists of two types of tissue: grey matter and white matter. The grey matter helps in processing the information and directing signal and sensory action to nerve cells. While the white matter is mainly composed of fatty tissues and nerve fibres. In order to respond correctly, information needs to travel from grey matter to a chain of nerve fibres called axons to our muscles.   "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." How does practice influence the working of our brain?  The axons are a projection of a nerve cell that typically transmits an electrical impulse from one neuron to another. The axons in the white matter are encapsulated with a fa

  Adolf Hitler, How did he harmonize one of the largest genocide in human history? How did he rise to power in a democratic country? The story of post world war 1 made Germany realize that the war was unwinnable. As the war is unwinnable, Germany thought allying makes them winnable. So, Germany signed a truce ending the fight. As the government collapsed, the entire nation started encountering civil unrest and worker strikes. Soon diplomats started fearing an uprising of the communist revolutionary party. So, politicians started suppressing the majority and established the parliamentary Weimar republic. The first task of the parliament to implement the peace treaty imposed by its allies. In addition to a peace treaty, Germany also signed to dismantle its army. And Germany had to take full responsibility for the war and pay for the destruction. Many nationalists and war veterans see this as a humiliation. These nationalists and veterans wrongly believed that they could have won the war

  Is your belly full you completed all your meals today? But, you can see millions of malnourished children out there on planet earth. Of course, this scenario is slowly changing the number of malnourished children is falling in every continent. In the large picture, at least half of the children under age five suffer from hunger. You can see three forms of malnutrition - undernutrition, hidden hunger, and overweight. You can see all these forms co-exist in a family. The sad part, no one country has shown progress in decreasing malnutrition in the past 20 years. Transition of nutrition Over a few decades, our world has changed a lot. More people started to move into the urban cities from rural areas. Women empowerment has become a thriving source now. Our new world has an intense impact on how food is produced, what we eat. Globalization may have increased our choices in choosing what we eat. But it is also expanded a market for junk foods and fast foods.  More than half of the world l

  The world has started vaccinating. When it comes to getting vaccinated against Corona, which one would you prefer? Which vaccine is the best or with the least side effects? When you get an option to choose either covishield or covaxin, which one has minimum side effects?  Common side effects due to vaccinations It is very common to feel pain or get swollen in the vaccinated area. Systematic side effects include headaches, fever, fatigue. These are the common side effects people suffer from, also there can be some rare side effects. Not all those who are vaccinated get these side effects. But side effects are proportionated to 10-30% of the people who are vaccinated. Here a question may arise, if I have a pre-medical condition then am I at a higher risk of getting side effects? And the obvious answer is "it is idiosyncratic." There is no way of predicting whom it is going to affect. Types of vaccine Vaccines are classified into 3 categories based on their nature. Firstly,

Whether Falcon and Winter Soldier teasing Sergeant Barne's return to a life of villainy.

Little time in Wakanda and you come out as white panther                                                                              - Falcon (aka) Cap.  Interestingly enough the white wolf character in the comics is one of black panther's biggest villains. So, why would MCU choose to give Bucky that name. This blogpost will breakdown everything about white wolf from the comics and how the MCU can adapt that with Bucky's current role.   The first episode of  Falcon and Winter Soldier really gave a grip on how hard Bucky's life has been so far. As he has been in a non-stop fight for over eighty years. And that sort of thing can weigh on a person. There is still so much about his winter soldiers' past that we don't know
