First things first, do you even know what your fingernails are made of? Our fingernails and toenails are made up of a protein called keratin, which is essentially just a bunch of dead cells. Keratin is also found in our hair, scientifically speaking, our nails are actually just modified hair which is quite strange if you stop to think about it. The reason cutting our nails and hair doesn't hurt is because the cells are dead, bird feathers and horse hooves are also made up of keratin. I'm sure you've heard the myth about how our nails keep growing even after death? Yeah, that isn't true. They can't keep growing because they're dead, and dead cells on a dead body aren't going to keep them growing! The reason this myth became so popular is that when we die, the skin around our nails shrinks, which gives the illusion of growing nails. If you observe very well, you will see that, fingernails grow more quickly than toenails AND men's nails grow faster t...

Want to know how to check if honey is pure? By examining the physical qualities of honey, it is very easy to know whether it is pure or impure. Look out for these signs: - Pure honey has a sweet aroma whereas fake honey smells sour or most of the times has no aroma - One feels a mild burning sensation in the throat while consuming pure honey. But in case of fake honey no such thing happens - Pure or raw honey never separates into layers.

Fake honey on the other hand is quite runny and immediately spreads a...

Plastic bottles are the preferred material for a wide range of packaging materials, such as detergent, beverages, and many more. A useful type of plastic is polyethylene terephthalate because it is highly flexible for greater ease in production, as well as its toughness and energy-saving qualities. Here are a few of the most appealing benefits of plastic bottles: Safe and Rugged Plastic bottles are often favored over the glass containers because they are more resilient to damage. In the event of dropping on the floor, they are less likely to smash or shatter into hundreds of little pieces, which make the packaging a lot safer to handle. The hard-wearing build helps to lower the risk of the bottle bursting or leaking, which is especially useful when items are being shipped or transported in cartons. Also, the most popular plastics used are naturally resistant to chemicals. Unique shapes The plastic material is easily molded into a preferred shape or size. This has the benefit...

Dear Fam, Where were you 10 years ago? Who were you and where did you live? What did you dream about? Wish for? Hope for? What relationship were you in and how did you dress? 😉 Were you totally different? That’s what I’d like to do today, stop and reflect about the fact that As I Am was released to the world 10 years ago! Crazy, right??? It feels like yesterday to me! These songs are still some of my favorites to perform live and hear that y’all are still vibin’ to. Some say this is my best album……I love it just as much as you do! I’m thinking about how different my life was then. I had already been in the music game since I was 18, so I remember this being a really transitional time for me. I was looking for more and looking for more of a way to connect to myself. This was the time in my life that I would say I’d learned how to become “a machine” and I really needed to unlearn that mentality. I remember feeling extremely overwhelmed and needing to get away and I took that first...

When choosing packaged foods, it's important to read the labels. This can be time consuming but worth it. To save time, try focusing specifically on foods low in sugar, low in salt and high in protein. Stay away from anything containing high fructose corn syrup which is an unnecessary sugar additive. Why do we even need sugar in bread? Foods with the fewest ingredients are best. If you don't know what an ingredient is, chances are it's not good for you. Marketing techniques labeling foods as Lite, gluten free, healthy or wheat may not always be the healthiest choice. As an educated consumer you should know the difference. Many so called "wheat" products may not be whole grain or made from whole wheat. The first ingredient should be whole wheat flour. Wheat flour, unbleached wheat flour, multigrain, enriched, and stone-ground wheat flour are alternative ways of saying "refined white flour." To save you some time in the grocery store, I've compiled...

The immune system of a human body is a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to defend the body against the attacks by the 'foreign' invaders. The term 'foreign invader' is used for the bacteria, parasites, fungi and other viruses that can lead to illness through infections. It is the job of an immune system to keep these infectious organisms out and destroy them. Though unseen, the immune system cells are constantly gobbling up with the bacteria and blocking viruses from invading your cells. Similar to your heartbeat and indigestion, the immune response is a system that functions on its own and you don't control them. But, there are a lot of practices that can work as your helping hand. Some of such practices are: Good hygiene - The first step to begin with the defence is to keep all prospective germs at bay. How can it be done? By following good personal hygiene habits. Stop infection as it begins and before it begins. Make sure you avoid spr...
