Things I Did Not Know. Did You? Part Four


Here's my latest installment of 'Things I Didn't Know'. Hope you enjoy these facts and information.

Carrots

Carrots were originally grown as a medicinal plant in the gardens of ancient Rome. They were also used as an aphrodisiac, and in some cases, as part of a concoction '' prevent poisoning. Red and yellow carrots started '' appear in Europe in the 'th' century. Orange carrots were developed from those yellow varieties.

Heaphones

When you put on headphones, you cover your ears from the natural air, which increases production of bacteria by '700%' in one hour. No wonder extended use can also affect your hearing!

Pistachios

Melatonin is a hormone primarily released by the pineal gland that regulates the sleep–wake cycle. As a dietary supplement, it is often used for the short-term treatment of insomnia.

Dry Tea Bags

Put the tea bags in and leave them overnight. You can also soak your feet in tea every day for 20 minutes to reduce odour. Don't suggest you drink the tea afterwards!

Control Coughing

It helps in breathing by increasing the use of the diaphragm and the airflow. There are mixed opinions if this is an effective method to use when someone is choking.

I remember as a child, being told to raise my arms if coughing uncontrollably.
What information from above was new or familiar?

I love pistachios, had no idea they had a lot of melatonin, though.

I also knew the hands above your head for coughing - none of the others. I found the carrot fact most interesting!

I did not really know any of these.
I did know ear buds were not healthy but did not know about the 700%.
Did not know about the melatoninin pistachios.
I did know they are physically addictive.

I did not know those things.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I've only heard about the coughing fact, but I'm gonna tell the G-girls about the headphones, they practically live in them.

I had no idea about the history of carrots either. It's one of the reasons I enjoy doing the research...because I learn all kinds of stuff too

That one seems to be fairly well known. As for the headphones, especially earbuds, kind of explains a lot!

I wonder if it's true that carrots are an aphrodisiac, it would be good news for rhino's.

Maybe it's why they are one of my favourite vegetables!

    Another great post my friend, I am throwing my earphones away, lol!
These are always fun to put together!
Those earbud style ones have to be the worst for the problem. Yikes!

Interesting sexyldy1000. Could I interest you in a glass of carrot juice?

I wonder how many tea bags it would take to keep my hockey bag smelling fresh? amp;

Carrots are actually on the menu tonight . As much as I love them, I have not tried carrot juice. As for your hockey bag, I doubt much could help with it!
