Clean the lint that accumulated in your washing machine. If you do not, it results in the machine to heat up and catch fire.

Are you one of those parents who wants their child to start school as soon as possible? Keep in mind that you are shortening his/her life by doing this.

Starting education too early makes it difficult on the child. Because kids grow too fast, they are roomed together with some kids that have developed more than the others. This creates a big gap between the smarter kids and the smaller kids.

They get stressed, have behavioral problems which ultimately leads to a shorter lifespan.

7. Having a small butt translates to higher chances of cardiovascular diseases

If you are one of those people who have fat on their thighs and butt you are less likely to suffer from heart diseases.

Because fat on the thighs and butt is linked to a gene that is passed on from generation to generation. This gene is also linked to making that person fight diabetes successfully.

But this doesn’t mean that you eat a lot of junk food so that you get fat on your thighs and butt. That does NOT work, sorry.

The moment you get on an altitude planes fly on, you absorb more radiation than a normal person. This is the radiation that is present outside the Earth’s atmosphere, which is usually filtered completely by the time it reaches earth’s surface.

This is the reason most airplane pilots and airline crew are very prone to suffering from cancer that is caused by absorbing too much radiation.

Living in high altitudes is good for you. Because higher altitudes have lesser oxygen, the people living there become more resilient because of this. Their bodies activate genes that make the lungs and heart stronger.

If you are thinking of bringing up your child to make him healthy, choose a high-altitude city.

Who knew doctors can kill by the pen?
