A kiss is healthier than a Handshake!

A kiss could be safer for your health than the humble handshake. 
  • A kiss or two on the cheek in greeting might seem a little too continental for some.
  • But if you want to stay healthy it's time to pucker up.
  • The continental-style peck on the cheek is far more hygienic than the trusty British handshake, according to health experts.
  • While a quick air kiss - or two - somewhere in the cheek region is a relatively-germ free affair, hand-shaking it seems is another matter.
  • No matter how clean one person keeps their hands, unfortunately there is just no guarantee that the person on the other end of the greeting maintains such stringent standards.
  • And with flu and bugs like norovirus particularly rampant - a quick rinse under the tap is not enough.
  • More than three million Britons called in sick last week. Many of them will have been infected after touching someone else's hands and might have been better off kissing friends and relatives instead.

For the first time in history, two planets have been discovered that share the same orbit.

 The pair of planets are part of a four-planet solar system called KOI-730. They orbit a sun-like star, one 60 degrees ahead of the other, with a full revolution taking 9.8 days. The reason this phenomenon is possible is because there are two gravitational "sweet spots" called Lagrange points along a planetary body's orbit where another body can share the same orbit. These points are located 60 degrees ahead of and 60 degrees behind the orbiting object. 

This even occurs within our solar system - group of asteroids called Trojans inhabit the Lagrange points of Jupiter's orbit! The existence of this pair of planets also supports an existing theory that the moon was formed by the collision of the Earth and a Mars-sized planet that once shared its orbit.

Earwax production is necessary for good ear health.

While many people find earwax to be disgusting, it’s actually a very important part of your ear’s defense system. It protects the delicate inner ear from bacteria, fungus, dirt and even insects. It also cleans and lubricates the ear canal.

Myth: Spinach makes you strong – like Popeye the Sailor man!


The myth comes from the fact that spinach is high in iron – but wait… spinach is actually not very high in iron. Believe it or not, this part of the myth comes from a handwriting error in 1870 when a Doctor Wolf accidentally put a decimal point in the wrong place and made it look like Spinach had 10 times more iron that it really has. Now to the strong part of the myth: in order to get muscle strength, you need to exercise and do weight training – eating spinach (or anything else for that matter) won’t make you strong on its own – it will only give you the energy you need to survive your workout.
