James Brady+FollowThis Guy Lived in a Cave for 63 DaysImagine thinking you’re just studying rocks, but you end up discovering that humans have a secret internal clock! Michel Siffre went underground for over two months—no sunlight, no clocks, no contact—and totally lost track of time. Turns out, our bodies start making up their own schedules when we’re cut off from the outside world. His wild experiment basically kicked off the science of chronobiology, which now helps everyone from astronauts to shift workers. Who knew caves could mess with your mind like that? #Chronobiology #ScienceFacts #MindBlown #Science50Share
lindsay35+FollowVitamin D Might Be the Real Age-DefierTurns out, popping a daily vitamin D could actually slow down ageing! A new study found that people who took vitamin D for four years basically dodged three years’ worth of ageing, thanks to less telomere shortening (those are like the plastic tips on your DNA shoelaces). That means fewer 'angry old' cells causing chaos in your body. Who knew your morning supplement could be a secret weapon against getting old? #VitaminD #AntiAging #HealthNews #ScienceFacts #Health10713Share
Lori Elliott+FollowWe Actually Glow—And It Fades When We DieTurns out, we all have a secret glow! Scientists found that humans (and even plants and mice) emit a super faint light called 'biophotons'—think of it as a literal healthy glow. But here’s the wild part: this glow disappears when we die or get super stressed. Researchers could actually see the difference in light before and after death. Imagine if doctors could one day use this glow to check our health or stress levels—no needles needed! #ScienceFacts #Biophoton #HealthGlow #MindBlown #CoolScience #Health30Share
James Brady+FollowAntarctica’s Hidden Alps?!Turns out, Antarctica’s been hiding a whole mountain range the size of the Alps for over 500 million years—completely buried under miles of ice! Scientists just confirmed these ancient peaks, called the Gamburtsev Mountains, were formed when supercontinents collided, and they’re still lurking beneath the surface. Oh, and there are even deeper 'mountains' at the Earth’s core-mantle boundary, some taller than Everest. Earth’s got secrets on secrets! #Antarctica #Geology #HiddenWorlds #ScienceFacts #EarthMysteries #Science00Share
Kathleen Lucas+FollowMother’s Intuition: Real or Just Hype?Ever get the feeling your mom just knows when something’s up? Turns out, there’s real science behind that gut feeling! Psychologist Susan Albers says moms develop an internal radar for their kids through bonding, time, and pattern recognition—not magic. It’s all about oxytocin and being super tuned-in. The trick? Mindfulness and self-care keep that mom-sense sharp. So next time your mom has a hunch, maybe trust it—she’s basically a kid-detective! #MothersIntuition #MomLife #Parenting #ScienceFacts #MothersDay #Health00Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowEggs Are Stronger on Their Sides?!Turns out, everything we learned in science class about eggs being strongest at their ends is totally wrong. MIT researchers just proved eggs are actually tougher on their sides—they absorb shock better and resist breaking more! But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you need to change how you crack eggs for breakfast. Just a wild reminder that even 'settled' science can surprise us! Who knew eggs had secrets? #ScienceFacts #EggMyths #MIT #MindBlown #FoodScience #Science21Share
Stephanie Snow+FollowmRNA Vaccines: What’s the Real Deal?mRNA vaccines are getting a ton of buzz—some people are calling them game-changers, others are calling for bans. Here’s the scoop: mRNA tech isn’t new (it’s been around since the ‘60s!) and it basically teaches your body to fight off viruses by making proteins. No, it doesn’t mess with your DNA. Side effects? Mostly mild, like sore arms. The wild part: scientists are now testing mRNA for things like cancer and rare diseases. It’s not magic, but it’s got serious potential! #mRNA #Vaccines #HealthNews #ScienceFacts #MedicalInnovation #Health31Share
vincent04+FollowHealthy Eats = Later Periods?Wild new study alert: girls who ate healthier as kids started their periods later, no matter their weight or height. Turns out, lots of veggies, whole grains, and less junk food could mean a later first period—which is linked to lower risks of diabetes, heart disease, and even breast cancer later on. Basically, what you eat as a kid might shape your health way more than we thought! #HealthNews #Nutrition #WomensHealth #GrowingUp #ScienceFacts #Health71Share
shermandarlene+FollowInflammation Messes With Your Bones?!Just found out inflammation isn’t just about feeling sore—it might actually mess with your bones too! A new study tracked hundreds of teens and found that certain inflammatory proteins are linked to changes in bone density. Basically, if your body’s always in fight mode, your bones could pay the price. Wild how your immune system and bones are more connected than we thought! #HealthNews #BoneHealth #Inflammation #Wellness #ScienceFacts #Health976Share
fowleralison+FollowDid you know ovaries age super fast? 🤯Just discovered that ovaries age faster than ANY other organ in our bodies! Scientists are working to slow this process, which could bring health benefits to both women AND men. Fascinating how our reproductive health connects to overall aging! Anyone else surprised by this? #womenshealth #aging #fertilitymatters #sciencefacts #Health #BodyHealth3716Share
