12 weird facts we learned from Dr. Saldmann's Take Charge of Your Health.

1) Eating an apple a day stimulates female arousal.

Wouldn't we do a remake of Genesis by any chance? Apparently, apple acts as a sex hormone on women which leads to increased enthusiasm for sexuality besides increasing lubrication. To your apples!

2) It takes 9 hours to digest 3 sardines.

Three sardines is the equivalent of 200 calories. A real misery. However, the digestive system takes 9 hours to eliminate them, which makes it a real appetite suppressant, since the feeling of satiety is prolonged.

3) Consuming too much animal protein is equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes a day.

For those who consume 20% animal protein in the daily caloric intake, mortality is 74% higher than in subjects consuming less than 10% animal protein. The risk of dying from cancer is multiplied by 4, a risk equivalent to those who smoke 20 cigarettes a day. Obviously, you have to brake on the steak (and on the cigarette).

4) Physical activity strengthens DNA

The cells of the body regenerate throughout our lives. Physical activity makes it possible to avoid bad copies of cells that are sources of disease and in particular cancer. The 30 minutes of daily effort a day, it's not blank!

5) Sing it muscle!

Singing in the shower or in the street mobilizes nearly 300 muscles! A surprising and pleasant sport that boosts the joy of living in addition to the abdominal strap!

6) Our life changes our DNA!

The vagaries of our life transform our DNA! Who would have thought that a separation, an emotional shock, modify our genetic heritage that we considered immutable! To live longer, you have to live life to the fullest, find a passion, and you will extend your life by 20%.

7) You can survive 40 days without eating but only 11 days without sleeping!

8) Sleeping naked is better sleep!

Sleeping naked cools the body temperature and thus promotes sleep and recovery. You who were fans of flannel pajamas... It's darling who will be happy!

9) Yawning chills the brain

From -0.5° C but still! Thanks to this boost, the brain becomes more alert and more efficient. A little anecdote, psychologists have noticed that when a woman yawns in the presence of a man, she actually expresses a desire for him and not boredom. Not sure he gets the message!

10) Too much vacation makes you stupid.

From 3 weeks of vacation, your intelligence quotient decreases by 20 points every week. Super worrying! To take full advantage of your vacation and its relaxing effect, you have to leave for a week in an unknown place. Benefits last 5 weeks after return!

11) 12 sexual acts per month increase life expectancy by 8 years. Honey!!!!!

12) To have an orgasm, keep your socks on!

A group of researchers interested in female and male orgasms found that women who kept their socks on during intercourse consistently achieved orgasm in 30% of cases!
