Lithium youth? Amazing new studies.
Professor Michael Ristow and his Japanese colleagues from the Universities of Oita and Hiroshima have demonstrated in two different tests that even low concentrations of Lithium lead to a considerable increase in longevity in humans as well as in other organisms (in this case a type of worm, Caenorhabditis elegans.): the research was published in the European Journal of Nutrition. Lithium is one of the nutritional elements present in vegetables and drinking water: "the scientific community does not yet know the ... Read more

Electronic cigarettes, the future is already here
When it comes to relaxation, there is no point in denying how some actions can help certain people obtain a "moment of peace". Obviously, this is all very subjective and varies from individual to individual. Looking at what has happened over the last decades, it is useless to deny that a constantly growing number of individuals are resorting to using electronic cigarettes to "unplug" and experience a few moments of relaxation, alone or in the company of other people. Electronic cigarettes are now considered… Read more
