interesting Facts!

Assalamualaikum,
Here are some stuff I read from Good Medicine..pretty interesting..and amusing too..

**Your metabolism increases in summer (yeay! does that mean I can eat more??heehee).That's because more melanin is realeased by your pituitary gland in the sunshine, which boosts your metabolism (how? i wonder..)

**Cloudy skies do not protect you from the sun. They block out only 20% of radiation.. So people (esp those in Melb like me, where the UV rays are deadly), get protected with some sunscreen. U don't wanna end up being darker..or worse, at risk with skin cancer..)

**Chocolate contains a substance called phenylethylamine, which is the chemical we produce in our brains when we fall in love. Hmm does this mean that choc lovers just love to feel that way...or...does it show that they need more love in this world? go figure..

**Eggs do not raise your cholestrol level, according to a research dietician. They contain protein and 'good' mono-unsaturated fat that doesn't effect your plasma cholestrol. The dietary cholestrol in eggs has only a tiny effect on blood cholestrol levels. Eating a chunk of cheese is far worse than having an egg. (reAlly?? too bad i prefer the former..)

**Chocolates contain anti-oxidants in similar proportions to tea, red wine, fruit and vegetables (hah! another excuse for choc lovers eh?)

P.s: For reminder, these are not the ideas of the writer, They were merely taken out of a health magazine, which may or may not be backed up by scientific evidence.
