Do You Get Enough Sun? Researchers Explain How It Affects Your Health

IF NOBODY HAS TOLD YOU, LET US BE THE FIRST: THE SUN IS NOT DANGEROUS.

Our planet has been around for nearly 4.6 billion years. Human beings evolved alongside the bright star. In fact, the wondrous Sun is what allows and advances life on Earth.

“Dr. Robert Stern, chair of the Department of Dermatology at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, calls them “solar-phobes”: people so concerned about getting so cancer that they stay inside or cover every bit of skin.” – Harvard Health Publications: “Benefits of moderate sun exposure”

But do you know what is dangerous? Human ignorance about two key things:

First, not understanding the sun’s effects on us as individuals. Without this information, we can’t know what level of exposure is safe or unsafe.

Second, not taking preventative measures to counteract underexposure or overexposure. Underexposure, or lack of sunshine, is just as dangerous as overexposure.

The Sun is Healthy – in Moderation

Gee, how many times have we been told something is good for us “in moderation?” Alcohol, dark chocolate, dairy, sleeping, exercising… all best done “in moderation.”

Provided that there’s an accurate measure that defines moderation for an activity (e.g. one-two drinks, 7-9 hours), it can be excellent advice! We can then implement this advice to improve and maintain our health – or abstain from things that may be harmful.

This same moderation concept applies to the sun.

Health Benefits of Sunshine

(Note: As with anything health-related, it’s important to be aware of any existing medical condition(s). If you’re unsure, please speak with your doctor.

HERE ARE 5 HEALTH OF THE BIGGEST (MOST APPROPRIATELY) BENEFITS OF SUNLIGHT:

1. THE SUN PACKS VITAMIN D

In some medical circles, vitamin D is known as the “sunshine vitamin” and sun exposure can help produce this crucial nutrient. Vitamin D is also available in certain foods and supplements.

Vitamin D serves many important functions within the body, which include:

– Maintaining normal calcium and phosphate levels

– Promoting bone and cell growth

– Promoting calcium absorption

– Reducing inflammation

2. IT LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE

In a groundbreaking study conducted by Dr. Richard Weller and his colleagues at the University of Edinburg, researchers found a chemical important for reducing blood pressure in sunlight.

Nitric oxide is released into the blood vessels when sunlight touches the skin. This decreases BP.

According to Dr. Weller, the benefits of sun exposure – including a healthier and longer life – “far outweigh the risk of getting skin cancer.”

3. IT IMPROVES BRAIN FUNCTION

In a study undertaken by neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge, Dr. David Llewellyn and his colleagues measured the Vitamin D levels of 1,700 adults aged 65 and over.

After analyzing the results, the research team noticed higher rates of cognitive deficiencies in people low in Vitamin D.

Additional studies claim that sunlight also hastens the growth of brain cells within the hippocampus; the brain region responsible for forming, organizing, and storing memories.

4. ALLEVIATES MILD DEPRESSION

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, “is a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons – SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year.” SAD is informally known as the “winter blues” disorder.

Psychologists, psychiatrists, and other medical professionals have linked the low availability of sunlight during certain periods of the year (most notably, fall and winter) to the disorder.

Ever wondered why sunny days perk you up while gray skies don’t?

Because the brain produces more of the neurotransmitter serotonin (“the happy chemical”) on sunny days than on overcast days.

5. IT HEALS CERTAIN SKIN DISORDERS

Skin cancer is perhaps the one biggest knock against the big bright star. Skin cancer caused by Melanoma is “the most dangerous form of skin cancer, (when) these cancerous growths develop (and trigger) mutations that lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors.”

Per the Skin Cancer Foundation, “If melanoma is recognized and treated early, it is almost always curable.”

Let’s put what we just read in context. (1) Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. (2) If we pay attention and seek treatment, it’s curable just about every time.

In spite of oft-cited hyperbole about skin cancer, the sun helps heal skin disorders at a far greater rate than it causes them. 

Just a few of the conditions the sun helps include acne, eczema, jaundice, and psoriasis.

Protecting Yourself

Per the United States Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), there are three key elements of skin protection: genetic and lifestyle traits, monthly examinations, and blocking UV rays.

Genetic and lifestyle characteristics:

a) Do you spend a lot of time outdoors?

b) Do you get sunburnt easily?

c) Do you have any of the following?

– Large, numerous, or irregularly-shaped moles

– Blond, red, or light brown hair

– Freckles

– Fair skin (‘pale’)

If you meet any of the above criteria, consult with your doctor about how much time you should spend in the sun.

Monthly examinations:

– As skin cancers detected early can easily be cured, it is essential that you examine your skin monthly.

– The “most important sign,” per OSHA, “is a spot on the skin that is changing in size shape, or color during a period of 1 month to 1 or 2 years.”

Skin cancers often appear in one of four ways:

– Pale, waxy, and shiny lumps

– Red, scaly, and sharply-outlined patches

– Sores that do not heal

– Small, mole-like growths (melanoma)

Blocking UV Rays

– Limit your exposure: “UV rays are most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.”

– Cover up: “Wear tightly-woven clothing that blocks out light.”

– Use sunscreen: “A sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 blocks 93 percent of U.V. rays … Be sure to follow application instructions on the bottle.”

– Wear a hat: “A wide brim hat is ideal because it protects the neck, ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp.”

– Wear UV-absorbent shades: “Sunglasses don’t have to be expensive, but they should block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation.”

People Who Prefer To Be Alone Have These 6 Special Personality Traits

When someone who prefers having a smaller circle of friends and do not mind spending time alone, they are called loners. People perceive them as individuals who are very lonely and depressed. Unlike those who actually feel lonely, these types of individuals never actually feel lonely.

In fact, being with their own company is exactly what makes them feel fulfilled.

They feel more in touch with themselves and do their best thinking, making them more self-aware of things. This is probably why they prefer to be alone.

It’s not often that people get to become friends with a loner, mainly because they are very picky with whom they choose become close with. With that said, what are other traits that make a person a loner? Read on to find out!

Firm Boundaries: A loner always emphasizes healthy, strong boundaries.

They always realize that they’re never alone, even if they were the last person living on earth.

Because of this, they always respect the boundaries of others, and expect that same respect in return. If others cross those boundaries, they will be the first to let you know. They believe that if you cannot be faithful to yourself, than you cannot be faithful to others.

Loyalty: Unlike those who need to be in the spotlight, a loner does not crave attention. But, once they find someone they want to become close friends with, they become the most loyal friend you’ll ever have.

They know their worth, and if they find you to also be worthy of being in their life, they will give you everything whenever you need it. This goes for all fields of life, relationships, family, friends, and work.

Keeps an Open Mind: Just because they enjoy the company of themselves over others, this does not mean that they are rigid and close minded, it’s the total opposite. They are very open-minded, and are constantly up for new adventures and activities.

Even though they enjoy new and exciting things, they will always make sure they have their alone time to collect their thoughts before taking up things with new people. 

Level-Headed: When adversity and challenges come into play, loners do not panic or run, they are strong willed individuals. Their self-reflection time is what has prepared them for situations like this.

They may feel stressed and overwhelmed in some situations, but rather than waste time with distractions, they will spend some time alone and recharge their batteries.

Self-Awareness: While many people are frightened by their emotions, loners choose to focus on them and be aware of them. Become aware of one’s self is a very difficult talk to achieve.

Because of this, no one knows them better than they do and this allows them to understand people around them better. Granted, there will be times of depression and anxiety, but loners always have the ability to get through them and learn their lesson. 

They Value Time: If there is one thing that is extremely important to a loner, it’s time. The most important asset for success in life is time, and loners are well aware of that.

They Know No One is Perfect: Everyone has flaws and ways to improve those flaws. So rather than make a big fuss about them, they know to just go with the flow.

Loners always do what they feel is right for themselves and for others and always make sure that they do whatever they can to address each flaw. They are always completely honest with themselves and with others and will try and help improve those flaws.

Very Empathetic: Loners are able to feel and sympathize with others on the same level that they are. Being able to feel everyone’s sorrow can be a curse to have, but loners know how to handle it.

Because they are so empathetic, it’s very easy for them to find the bright side out of any negative situation.

THIS IS YOUR LUCKY NUMBER AND WHAT IT REVEALS ABOUT YOU

Your destiny is your life’s purpose and your destiny number in numerology tells you about your life path as well as both positive and negative traits of your personality.

WHAT DOES YOUR “DESTINY NUMBER” REVEAL ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY?

Researchers in the Journal of Social Behavior and Personality found that people who knew their astrological signs were more likely to feel a connection to a description of the personality of their sign than they were to a description of a different sign.

The same connection that we feel to our zodiac sign may also be true for beliefs about our destiny number in numerology, especially when we encounter a crisis in our lives.

A study in the Journal of Social Psychology found that beliefs about chance or fate were positively related to action-taking. In other words, when people encountered a difficult time in their lives, they actively sought help from astrology or numerology to guide them on the right path.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR DESTINY NUMBER

* Write the numbers 1 through 9 across the top of the page

* Write one letter under each number starting with A under the number 1

* Repeat through letter I under the number 9 then begin the second row with the letter J under the number one through letter R at the number 9

* Finish the third row of letters under numbers with the letter Z ending at 8.

Your number and alphabet grid should look like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

A B C D E F G H I

J K L M N O P Q R

S T U V W X Y Z

For the letters of your first, middle and last names separately, find the number assigned to each letter and add them together to create one single-digit number.

For example:

For the name Nancy Ann Botwin, we would have the numbers as follows for Nancy

Nancy

5 + 1 + 5 + 3 + 7 = 21

21 is a 2 and a 1

2 + 1 = 3

Continue this for each name, first, middle and last. Add all digits until you arrive at a single number between one and 9.

Ann

1 + 5 + 5 = 11

1 + 1 = 2

Botwin

2 + 6 + 2 + 5 + 9 + 5 = 29

2 + 9 = 11

1 + 1 = 2

So we have 3 + 2 + 2 in the example of Nancy (3) Ann (2) Botwin (2), which when we add them, gives us the destiny number 7.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YOUR DESTINY NUMBER?

Soulnumerology.com says of the destiny number ‘This number describes your inherent traits and often natural talents that you come here with.

It speaks a great deal to your potential and what you can likely accomplish. It is often referred to as a “destiny” number for this reason, because it speaks of qualities inherent within you that you can work to develop.’

DESTINY NUMBER 1

Prefers to lead, independent, creative, knowledgeable, determination, enthusiasm, motivated, friendly, extroverted, talkative.

A destiny number 1 can tend to be selfish and has difficulty listening to others.

DESTINY NUMBER 2

Giving, often works in consulting or counseling, excellent negotiator, fair, social, prefers teamwork, passionate, energetic, curious and spiritual.

A destiny number 2 can tend to be too hard on themselves because they expect so much. Ask someone you trust for a reality check.

DESTINY NUMBER 3

Extroverted, free-spirited, excellent verbal communication, entertaining, optimistic, sensitive, and innovative.

A destiny number 3 can be bad with finances and tends to withdraw when emotionally hurt.

DESTINY NUMBER 4

Dependable, orderly, efficient, organized, socially responsible, a few close friends, practical, common sense, strong-willed, and often works as an entrepreneur or manager.

Destiny number 4 can be narrow-minded and bluntly honest when speaking their minds. Keep your mind open to achieve your full potential for success.

DESTINY NUMBER 5

Adventurous, multi-talented, independent, courageous, motivated, extroverted, loves challenging work, may seek work in sales, legal, political or judicial fields.

Destiny number 5 can get restless if bored and dislikes being romantically tied down.

DESTINY NUMBER 6

Loyal, caring, strong, enjoys responsibility, generous, conservative, takes on the jobs that others discard, has lots of close friends, enjoys domestic life, and work is usually in service to others.

A destiny number 6 can tend to be easily overwhelmed and is often critical of themselves and others.

DESTINY NUMBER 7

Thoughtful, quick-witted, sincere, charming, slow to trust, prefers intellectual work, spiritually connected, somewhat introverted, good instinct, and decisive.

A destiny number 7 can be very argumentative and negative, especially if their minds are not active.

DESTINY NUMBER 8

Direct, goal-oriented, focused, hard-working, born leader, dedicated, financially secure, organized, reliable, and honest.

A destiny number 8 can come across as bossy and emotionally distant. Be open to emotional support that you get from others to be more well-rounded.

DESTINY NUMBER 9

Compassionate, generous, sensitive emotionally, social, creative, drawn toward helping others, enjoys communicating and philosophy.

The challenges for destiny number 9 come when faced with competition or business; work that is focused on profits, not people.

Scientists Discover How The Brain Controls Ageing – And Manage To Slow It Down

If you are reading this and you don’t smoke, then your major risk factor for dying is probably your age. That’s because we have nearly eliminated mortality in early life, thanks to advances in science and engineering. But despite this progress, we still haven’t worked out how to eliminate the damaging effects of ageing itself.

Now a new study in mice, published in Nature, reveals that stem cells (a type of cell that can develop into many other types) in a specific area of the brain regulate ageing. The team even managed to slow down and speed up the ageing process by transplanting or deleting stem cells in the region.

Ageing poses an important challenge for society. By 2050, there will be as many old people (age 65+) as children (under 15) on Earth for the first time. This change is reflected in unprecedented stress on our health and social care systems. Understanding how we can keep ourselves in good health as we age is becoming increasingly important.

The mechanisms that keep organisms healthy are relatively few in number and conserved between species, which means we can learn a lot about them by studying animals such as mice.

Among the most important are senescent cells – dysfunctional cells which build up as we age and cause damage to tissue – chronic inflammation and exhaustion of stem cells. These mechanisms are thought to be connected at the cell and tissue level. As with a ring of dominoes, a fall anywhere can trigger a catastrophic collapse.

VANISHING CELLS

The researchers behind the new paper were studying the mouse hypothalamus, which we’ve known for some time controls ageing. This almond-sized structure at the center of the brain links the nervous and endocrine (hormone) systems.

The hypothalamus helps regulate many basic needs and behaviors including hunger, sleep, fear and aggression. In the human brain, initiation of behaviors is usually complex, but if you flee in blind panic or find yourself in a blazing rage, then your hypothalamus is temporarily in the driving seat.

The team looked at a specialised group of stem cells within the hypothalamus and monitored what happened to them as cohorts of mice aged. Mice normally live for about two years but they found that these cells began to disappear by about 11 months.

By 22 months, they had vanished completely. The rate at which the stem cells was lost closely correlated with ageing changes in the animals, such as declines in learning, memory, sociability, muscle endurance and athletic performance.

But correlation doesn’t mean causation. To find out if the decline was causing these ageing changes, they deleted stem cells using a specially engineered virus that would only kill them in the presence of the drug Ganciclovir. In 15-month-old mice, receiving this drug combination destroyed 70% of their hypothalamic stem cells.

They prematurely displayed signs of ageing and died roughly 200 days earlier as a result. That’s significant as mice only live for about 730 days.

The group also implanted hypothalamic stem cells from newborn mice into middle-aged animals. In this case, the animals became more social, performed better cognitively and lived about 200 days longer than they otherwise would have.

These experiments also provided clues to how the hypothalamic stem cells were being lost in the first place. The implantation only worked when the stem cells had been genetically engineered to be resistant to inflammation. It seems that, as the animals aged, chronic, low-grade inflammation in the hypothalamus increased.

This inflammation is probably caused either by the accumulation of senescent cells or surrounding neurons entering a senescent-like state. Inflammation kills the hypothalamic stem cells because they are the most sensitive to damage. This then disrupts the function of the hypothalamus with knock-on effects throughout the organism. And so the dominoes fall.

ELIXIR OF YOUTH?

The ultimate goal of ageing research is identifying pharmaceutical targets or lifestyle interventions that improve human health in later life. While this is a study in mice, if we can show that the same mechanisms are at play in humans we might one day be able to use a similar technique to improve health in later life. But this remains a long way in the future.

Other interventions, such as removing senescent cells, also improve health, extending life by up to 180 days in mice. A logical next step is to see if these interventions “stack”.

The delivery of miRNAs as drugs is still in its infancy but the study suggests potential routes to replenishing a hypothalamus denuded of stem cells: preventing their loss in the first place by controlling the inflammation. This might be achieved either through the development of drugs which kill senescent cells or the use of anti-inflammatory compounds.

The research is important because it elegantly demonstrates how different health maintenance mechanisms interact. However, one downside is that only male mice were used. It is well known that the structure of the hypothalamus differs markedly between the sexes. Drugs and mutations which extend lifespan also usually show markedly different potency between males and females.

Whether humans will ever be able to live significantly longer than the current maximum lifespan of 125 years is hard to tell. But it seems the greatest barrier to a healthy later life is no longer the rate of progress but the speed with which we can turn our growing knowledge of the biology of ageing into drugs and lifestyle advice.

A Japanese Buddhist Master reveals 21 rules of life that will blow your mind

For years I struggled to find the peace I really wanted.

You know the dream:

Happiness

Not overthinking

No anxiety

Physically fit

And the to live every moment without being distracted by the past or the future.

During that time, I lived with anxiety, insomnia and way too much useless thinking going on in my head. It was never easy.

One of the reasons I was never truly at peace was because of one recurring problem: I couldn’t learn to “accept” where I was without wishing it were different.

Because avoiding and fighting against what is happening inside you only makes it worse.

Unfortunately, acceptance is also really hard to cultivate. We’re practically wired to not accept the moment if it’s not 100% comfortable.

So, what can we do?

What helped me was coming across Japanese Buddhist master Miyamoto Mushashi’s 21 rules of life.

Known as Japan’s greatest ever swordsman, he wrote these 21 rules 2 weeks before his death.

Each rule teaches you to accept your circumstances in life, detach from outside forces you can’t control and be comfortable with who you are.

I find these rules powerful because the only way to cultivate acceptance is through continued practice in your actions and your attitude. The two things we actually have control over.

And these rules give you the necessary guidelines to do just that.

It might take months to rewire your brain, but it’s well worth it.

Check them out:

1) Accept everything just the way it is.

Acceptance is perhaps the most important attitude to overcome mental challenges in life.

It’s a state of mind. There’s no destination or goal with acceptance. It’s simply the process of exercising the mind to be tolerant of anything life throws at us.

Why is it powerful?

Because instead of fighting against negative emotions like anxiety and stress, you’re actually accepting them the way they are. You’re not bitter, and you’re not creating more negativity out of your negativity.

Through acceptance you pave the path for negative emotions like anxiety to become less powerful. You’re not fighting against them and making them worse.

But to be clear: Acceptance is not the following: It’s not indifference or apathy. It does not involve giving up or not trying. It’s simply about accepting things without judging them.

It is what it is. Whatever happens happens. It’s about being patient and allowing the natural flow of things to take place.

2) Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.

As humans, we’re unhappiest when we become dissatisfied with what we have, and decide that we want more.

When we seek pleasure for pleasure’s sake, we put ourselves in an endless loop of desiring that’s only temporarily satisfied when we experience that pleasure.

But feelings don’t last forever. And before you know it, you’ll be back desiring again.

This doesn’t mean you can’t have fun and enjoy pleasure when you experience it. It just means you won’t be constantly seeking pleasure for its own sake. You appreciate what you have in every moment, and sometimes that will be pleasurable emotions.

But you also won’t be unhappy when you aren’t experiencing pleasure.

3) Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.

Same as above, feelings don’t last forever. Emotions are transient. You won’t be happy all the time, and wanting to be so will only make you unhappy.

4) Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.

When you think of yourself too much, you amplify your ego and your insecurities.

Happy people are the ones who focus on helping others. There’s a beautiful Chinese Proverb which describes this perfectly:

“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”

In other words: Be humble, don’t take yourself too seriously and focus on helping others.

5) Be detached from desire your whole life long.

Buddhism says that desiring leads to suffering. Why? Because when you’re desiring, you’re dissatisfied with what you have right now.

And when you get what you want, this leads you down an endless loop desiring.

If you can forget about the idea of wanting, you can learn to be comfortable and grateful for what you have right now, which is key to inner peace.

6) Do not regret what you have done.

Regret is a useless emotion, isn’t it? You can’t change what’s happened. Yes, you can learn from what happened, but that doesn’t involve experiencing regret.

I know that sometimes we can’t help but regret things in life, but it’s important not to dwell on it. It’s useless to do so.

7) Never be jealous.

Another useless emotion. It also means you’re insecure with yourself, because you’re envious of someone else.

Instead, look inside yourself and be grateful for who you are and what you have.

8) Never let yourself be saddened by separation.

It sucks to separate from someone you want to be with. But getting sad over it won’t help you or them.

Sometimes you just need to toughen up and appreciate what you have, not what you lose.

9) Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself nor others.

Again, complaining without action doesn’t help you achieve anything. It only serves to raise your toxic energy.

And don’t let what other people do affect you as well. You’re not in control of what they do. But you are in control of how you react to what they do.

10) Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.

This one’s probably a controversial one for many. For me, too. I think we can all agree that you don’t want to be guided by lust. It’s similar to chasing emotions that don’t last forever and will only give you temporary fulfilment.

Love, however, is a different story. I don’t know about you, but I think that love is one of the most important emotions to be guided by. Your family is everything, whoever they are, and your life is much more fulfilled when you do whatever you can for them.

11) In all things have no preferences.

Similar to desiring, by having preferences, you’re not happy with what you have right now. You’re dissatisfied and unable to enjoy the present moment.

So if you can, try not to prefer something over something else, especially if you can’t control it.

12) Be indifferent to where you live.

If you can change where you live, then by all means go ahead. And don’t stop looking for opportunities to do so.

But besides doing that, it’s more fulfilling to appreciate where you are right now, rather than wishing it were different.

13) Do not pursue the taste of good food.

Interesting one. Focus on eating to be healthy and for nourishment. Desiring delicious food can lead to addiction and attachment. This goes for alcohol and drugs, too.

14) Do not hold onto possessions you no longer need.

It’s easy to get cluttered with junk that you don’t need. But if it’s not benefiting your life, get rid of it. More space and more clear thinking is what’s needed. Not more stuff.

15) Do not act following customary beliefs.

Follow your own common sense. Do what makes sense to your own values, not what other people think. Decide for yourself.

You know what’s right and wrong. You don’t need someone else to tell you.

16) Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.

A tribute to his swordsman time, but we can apply this for our lives, too. It’s better to be an expert in one thing, than okay at everything.

17) Do not fear death.

Extremely hard to do. But it’s something none of us will escape. We can either learn to accept that our and our close ones time will eventually come, or fight against it causing anxiety and sadness for the rest of our lives.

18) Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.

What good will they do you when you’re gone? Only collect what is useful. Don’t waste your time.

19) Respect Buddha and the Gods without counting on their help.

Take responsibility for yourself. Don’t count on luck or god to pull you through. Tackle the endeavors you know are within your capabilities. Keep doing the right thing and everything else will fall into place.

20) You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honor.

Don’t do anything that you won’t be able to live with for the rest of your life. Your actions define you, not your beliefs.

21) Never stray from the way.

Stay humble, do the right thing and always keep learning and growing.

People with Rh- Blood Type Are Not 100% from This World

Modern medicine has categorized human blood in four types: A, B, AB and O blood type.

The main difference in blood types is related to the presence of protein in each individual type, however, RH negative blood type makes for an interesting exception, as this type does not have proteins.

Popular in internet media culture, there are several theories about the reason behind such protein deficiency and one theory suggests origins from another world.

In other words, people with such a blood type, which constitute about 15% of the human population might be from a different planet.

Theories like this go far and beyond in their explanations but one thing is for certain: people with this blood type have some unique characteristics. First off, there is the matter of blood donations and this blood type can help any other blood type.

They are compatible throughout the blood scale, with everybody. However, unfortunately for them, they are very limited in their compatibility for receiving blood, as only their own type can help.

Geographically, even though they represent a solid percentage of the human population, they are mostly situated in the north of Europe.

The initial question of origins, however, still remains unanswered. Scientists from the fields of genetics, biology and archaeology have inspected history 35,000 back and people with this blood type seem to be related to a narrow group of tribes and territories in Europe.

There are common physical characteristics to be considered, like a generally lower than average body temperature, red hair, above average sensitivity to high temperatures and green or blue eyes.

Also, there are claims of possessing more physical and emotional awareness. Alien origins theories are further fueled by the circumstances surrounding the pregnancies of RH negative women.

Namely, these women have a hard time delivering an RH positive child as their body naturally tries to kill the child.

Only through timely medical intervention can such a birth take place and ensure the safety of the baby.

This is a very strange situation from a medical point of view, given that nature has created all the necessary conditions for the partial development and birth of a human child.

With this now we know of an exempt of this natural rule, with a body trying to end a life it was built to create.

The fact of the matter remains that at this point we know only what science has examined and researched, which fortunately or unfortunately leaves a significant gap in knowledge for the alien conspiracy theories to find their place in online discussion forums and blogs.

Scientists Concluded That the Soul Does NOT Die – It Goes Back to the Universe!

Perhaps the human consciousness is like a program that is run by a quantum computer found in the brain as well as the human brain is similar to a “biological computer.”

That’s not all, after a person dies, their soul may come back to the universe, and it may not die.

Dr. Stuart Hameroff, an American physicist, and Sir Roger Penrose, a mathematical physicist, claim that the soul is maintained in brain cells’ micro-tubules.

Both researchers refer to this process as “Orch-OR” or “Orchestrated Objective Reduction.” Apparently, when humans are “clinically dead,” the microtubules in their brain start losing their quantum state.

However, these microtubules can still retain the information inside of them.

In addition, this theory has recently been outlined on Through the Wormhole, the Science Channel’s ongoing documentary show. In this documentary show, Dr. Hameroff explains that in case the blood stops flowing and the heart stops beating; then the micro-tubules could lose their quantum state.

It is important to understand that the quantum information in the micro-tubules cannot be destroyed, and it dissipates and distributes to the universe at large.

In case the patient is resuscitated, revived, then this quantum information could go back into the micro-tubules and they say that they had a near-death experience.

However, in case the patient isn’t revived, and they die, then this quantum information may exist indefinitely outside the body, as a soul.

According to Dr. Hameroff, the human soul is much more than mere neuron “interaction” in the brain. What’s more, this theory also suggests that these “souls” may have existed since the beginning of time itself.

Plus, with all of the recent findings pertaining to dark matter and dark energy, i.e., substances that human beings are not able to interact with or see, but substances that we know exist, this theory may end up explaining things, which are even more fascinating and mysterious.
