A1 Adults who sleep eight hours or more may have *shorter lifespans* than those who sleep less, says a new research Q2 Do Drinking coffeecould help cure baldness? A2 Yes.Drinking coffee could help cure baldness as caffeine blocks the effects ofa chemical known to damage hair, say researchers. * it was found that caffeine hadboosted the length of the hairs by 33-40 percent. The scientists believecaffeine affects hair cells in such a way that they are able to resistthe damaging effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a chemical that contributes to baldness.* Most baldness is causedwhen hair follicles are exposed to too much DHT, the researchers said.* Q3 "" When you try to call someonethrough mobile phone, don't put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers.

There are many different things that can cause halitosis – from not brushing yourteeth to certain medical conditions. Poor oral *hygiene*leads to bad breath because when you leave food particlesin you mouth, these pieces of food can rot and start to smell Plus,by not brushing your teeth regularly, plaque (a sticky, colorless film) buildsup on your teeth. Plaque is a great place for bacteria to liveand yet another reason why breath can turn foul And take care of yourmouth by brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day. Brushyour tongue , too, because bacteria can grow there. Flossing once a day helpsget rid of particles wedged between your teeth gum disease,also known as *periodontal* (say: per-ee-o-*don*-tul) *disease*, can cause badbreath and damage your teeth For instance, if someone has uncontrolled diabetes , his or her breathmight smell like acetone (the same stuff that's in nail polish remover). Sometimes sinusproblems , and rarely liver or kidney problems, can cause bad breath Q5 Can you tell about developing body fats? A5 During puberty, the body beginsmaking hormones that spark physical changes like faster muscle growth(particularly in boys) and spurts in height and weight gain in both boys andgirls People who are overweight as teensincrease their risk of developing health problems, such as diabetes and highblood pressure Although BMI can be agood indicator of a child's body fat, it doesn't always tell the full story.Someone can have a high BMI because he or she has a large frame or a lot ofmuscle (like a bodybuilder or athlete) instead of excess fat. Getting Into YourGenes Heredity plays a role in body shape and what a person weighs. Peoplefrom different races, ethnic groups, and nationalities tend to have differentbody fat distribution (meaning they accumulate fat indifferent parts of their bodies) or body composition (amounts of bone andmuscle versus fat). But genes are not destiny. No matter whose genes youinherit, you can have a healthy body and keep your weight at a level that'snormal for you by eating right and being active. Genes aren't the onlythings that family members may share. It's also true that unhealthyeating habits can be passed down, too Even simple forms of exercise, such aswalking, have huge benefits for a person's health Q6 What is Pink eye? A6 It's called pinkeye because the whitepart of the eye and inside the eyelids become red or pink when you have it.Conjunctivitis lasts a short time, usually about a week or less, and then goesaway by itself or after treatment. Conjunctivitis is easy tocatch just through touching. You can get conjunctivitis bytouching the hand of an infected friend who has touched his or her eyes Kidsalso get conjunctivitis because of allergies or because they get somethingirritating in their eyes, but these kinds of conjunctivitis are not contagiousBabies are usually given the ointment and kids and adults get the eye drops. Unfortunately,these drops won't work if a virus is causing your conjunctivitis Q7 What is thedifference between the knee of a grown up and baby? A7 Babies areborn without knee caps. They don’t appear until the childreaches 2-6 years of age. Q8 according to mythology what do the reasongiven for a female child? A8 It is said that during an intercourse, excessof seminal fluid leads to a boy child whereas excess of Ruj (female fluid ofexcitement) leads to the birth of a girl child. My note-The foetus when develop in the embryo, it is as FEMALE. Sex developmentoccurs later depend on a particular gene either in the male Y chromosome and female Xchromosome. Perhaps it may have relation with fluid appearing Q9 Dothe diabetic show signs immediately on occurring? A9 NO. It is asilent disease.
