Dr Deepak Bhatt, a top cardiologist at Mount Sinai, told DailyMail.com eating too much in general is bad for your cardiovascular system A top heart doctor has revealed the seven foods he never eats to keep his ticker healthy. While obvious choices like fast food, alcohol and red meat make Dr Deepak Bhatt's no-go list, there are several culprits that may surprise you. Dr Bhatt, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai in New York, said 'the best advice in terms of a heart healthy diet, is a diet that is relatively low in calories'. Heart disease is the biggest killer worldwide and in the US, accounting for almost 700,000 American deaths annually. Coconut oil Despite being hailed in the late 2010s as an ultimate health food, evidence is beginning to mount that coconut oil is not so great for your heart, according to Dr Bhatt. Coconut oil contains more saturated fat than lard — which can cause a build up of cholesterol in blood vessels. It is also used in studies in mice and rats … [Read more...] about I’m a cardiologist.

Tesco Clubcard scheme is the perfect way for Brits to collect points on their food shop. Customers can get 1 point for every £1 spent in store to use on many things, including the cinema.

As a typical person breaks wind between five and 15 times a day, you're bound to have a wide range of squeaks and sounds coming from your bottom.

However, this is more to do with perception rather than a temperature change. "Everything is based on your body temperature," the professor explained to Men's Health.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology installed a program in a Microsoft Hololens 2 so that it could give people “x-ray vision.” You know, one of Superman’s abilities (sort of)! The MIT upgrade lets wearers see objects with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags obstructed by solid objects. As a result, the technology could expand the real-life applications of augmented reality. For example, it could help retailers locate warehouse goods quickly. How does the Microsoft Hololens 2 use “x-ray vision?” Photo Credit: mixed-news.com The MIT researchers named their technology X-AR, which uses wireless signals and computer vision to let people see things invisible to the naked eye.

Games are imitations of real life. They teach players how to think how the other would act, with better players learning to appreciate how the other player reads them. As all games are defined by rules, two-player games are actually far simpler than multiplayer games. That is exactly where the global game has shifted, from a unipolar single dominant player who determines the rules-based order, to one in which the others want voice and power to change the rules. The kiddie’s game of checkers teaches players to think linearly, but smart players quickly learn that if you offer the other side a quick win and he takes it, you crush him by anticipating several moves ahead of him. The game of chess is much more complicated, with pieces that have different power and can be promoted (pawn to become queen). The moves are much more complicated, with psychology and stamina key to who wins. The game of Go, popular in the East, has only black or white pieces, but is far more complex, because … [Read more...] about The global game of ChessGo
