A3 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals14h The brain is one of the first bodily organs to begin to age. Experts have found that brain aging typically starts around age 25. Medical research has proved that from the age of 25, the nerve cells ofthe brain will gradually decrease. After the age of 40 to 45, the number of nerve cellswill decrease by about 10,000 every day, which will affect the function of thebrain. Food is closely related to the health of the brain, and the nutrients infood can slow down the aging process of the brain. A large bodyof scientific evidence shows that berries are one of the most beneficial foodsfor the brain, and that berries can help prevent age-related memory loss andother changes. Berries contain high amounts of anthocyanins, which are the only naturalantioxidants that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Anthocyanins are veryhelpful in increasing IQ, improving memory, and slowing cognitive decline. Berries are rich in flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants.Flavonoids have neuroprotective activity that inhibits oxidative stress andprotects nerve cells from free radical damage. Many health experts refer toberries as "brain food". Eating a few handfuls of berries a week caneffectively slow down the aging process of the brain. Berries that can optimize brain function and slow the aging process ofthe brain include strawberries, mulberries, raspberries, blueberriesblackcurrants and blackberries. Q4 Why do stray dogsexist in some countries but not in others? A4 Claire Jordan Degreein biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Wed I’m in my 60s and in my entirelife here in the UK I’ve seen one genuinely stray dog (as opposed to pet dogs wandering around on their own because theyhad some place to go) in my life, circa 1979. I caught him and handed him in ata police station. Partof the reason is that we have a lot of shelters to which lost dogs are rapidlytaken, and part is that vets keep the cost of neutering low. Q5 Is it true that eatingtoo much red chilies can make you get appendicitis? A5 Sangram Sagar 6h Last year, one of my friends was diagnosed with appendicitis and had tobe hospitalized for 5 days. His appendix was swollen with a diameter of 11millimeters. The doctor said that the diameter of his appendix is thesize of 3-4 people's appendices. Appendicitis is not caused bychili seeds that enter it. Because the ingested chili seeds will actually bedestroyed in the stomach first before the food juice enters the intestine. So, what causes appendicitis? Dr said that it was the activity of the bacteria that caused the swellingof our appendix. Where didthe bacteria come from? of course from the unclean food that we consume. How to prevent it from getting infected with appendicitis? Incidentally, he got antibiotic treatment for 10 days. After that, theinflammation has reduced and the diameter of his appendix has returned tonormal, which is 3.7 millimeters (He did a CT scan before and after treatment). The doctor suggested eatingmore fruits and vegetables which contain lots of fiber so that it will help thegrowth of good bacteria and facilitate the flow of food in our intestines. Lack of fiber is also a major cause of the growth ofbad bacteria due to food residue that cannot be immediately removed andaccumulates in the intestines. As aresult of the accumulation of feces in the intestine, some of it goes into theappendix because our intestines are full of loads. Andbecause our appendix is clogged,the dirt settles in it and grows bad bacteria. So our appendix becomesinflamed. So the reason is, ourbody lacks fiber → dirt accumulates in the intestine → Dirt enters the appendix→ bad bacteria develops → causes inflammation.

Q7 Is it ok to add alittle Dettol liquid to the washing machine to disinfect laundry? 4 Answers Terry Dinerman,Retired from 40 years of EmergencyMedicine in the 3rd World Updated Jul 6, 2021 Ships Medical Officer here… Regular laundry soap and bleach does a fine job of disinfecting yourlaundry even in cold water.

A9 Gopala Krishnan,former Assistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom(1966-2004)Answered just now The main problem about the RO water purifier is the disposal of waste outlet liquidafter processing. In my newly installed Emerald water purifier I have observedthe outlet liquid is about 10 liters and tank full capacity is 12 litters. Thisis after the quarterly servicing of the RO service man and replacing paperfilters. In the mean time over head tank and sump are also cleaned. TDS is below 30. TDS increases not only due to hardness of water, but also depends on theconditions of filters in the unit and condition of the over head tank and sump. The outlet liquid also increases under the above told TDS increaseconditions. Many times three times the quantity of the purified water. Outletting the liquid is a problem. It can be used onlyfor cleaning portico etc and not for watering plants. If one has ample provision of out letting liquid and maintain overheadtank, sump clean and quarterly service is dome in the system, there is no disadvantage with thesystem. In fact in Chennai, India, my residence area, the corporation itself serve pots full of RO waterFREE OF COST in the morning from their RO plants in streets.
