These 5 facts are amazing about the liver
The liver is responsible in breaking down toxins, storing vitamins and mineral, and for regulating blood pressure. It also helps regulate blood pressure and keeps our body temperature stable.
How often do we hear someone say, 'I feel sluggish today' or 'my head feels heavy'? These symptoms could indicate liver problems.
You may notice symptoms such as dark urine, yellowing skin and fatigue. These aren’t the only warning signs. If you feel any of these warning signs, consult your doctor immediately.

What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. The heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
Which is the most mysterious spot on Earth?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
This is why we find it so captivating. Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is isolated, remote, and very hard to visit. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
This natural wonder is also home to some of the strangest wildlife species.
Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it means "land of ice." Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.
Antarktis in ancient Greece was the name given the island where Zeus' twin brother brothers were born. One of the twins was said to have been born in winter. The term antarctic is derived from this.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has always been a fascination for people.
It is the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. It is too cold to support trees, plants, and animals.
This frozen wasteland is still alive.
Here are about 90% of all the living creatures on Earth. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water freezes into ice instead of evaporating into the air.
This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.
These floating glaciers cover 80% of the continent. They're getting bigger every year.
So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. It could result in massive flooding all over the world.
This does not mean that everyone is wrong. Global warming may be beneficial for some scientists. They say that as temperatures rise, the ice sheets might melt faster, causing floods that flush out tons of toxic chemicals from our soil and bodies.
Others, however, warn that this theory sounds almost like a plot for a science fiction film.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. This is why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. This would make them bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
If someone attempts to make an Oscar-winning movie, they may be asked to sign a contract stating that they will not speak out against their employers. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. This is not good news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
We must stop this from happening again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
