This is super interesting! 25 Random Things…About Health

Some excerpts... (got more links to explore at the webpage)

2. Dogs can smell cancer and low blood sugar.

3. People who enter their home through a door near the kitchen tend to eat 15% more than those who use the front door.

5. You can’t get a tan from your computer screen. No matter what this website tells you.

9. A 60-minute nap can improve alertness for up to 10 hours. The most widely accepted record for going without a nap—or any sleep whatsoever—is 264 hours (11 days).

16. Third-hand smoke—the particles that cling to smokers’ hair and clothing and linger in a room long after they’ve left—is a cancer risk to young children (and pets).

18. Trained sexologists can infer a woman’s orgasm history by observing the way she walks. In other research news, men find women who wear red sexier than those who wear “cool” colors such as blue and green.

19. Foreign Accent Syndrome, Exploding Head Syndrome, and Alice in Wonderland Syndrome are all real (but very rare) medical conditions.

21. Some men experience pain, headaches, or sneezing as a result of ejaculation.

23. Almonds, avocados, and arugula lettuce can boost your sex drive and improve fertility.

25. Facebook may be good for your health: Studies show that staying in touch with family and friends can ward off memory loss and help you live longer.
