5 Superstitions and Why They Exist

By Allison Ford, DivineCarolineI was at work a couple of years ago when a coworker walking by my table let out a shocked squeal. Your purse is upon a floor! Dont you know thats bad luck? Apparently, she was referring to a damned which holds that to place your purse or wallet upon a floor is to invite income troubles. you had never listened of this old wives story as well as didnt lend it much credibility, but upon my approach home, you did notice my lifelong habit of avoiding path cracks, certainly a leftover from a youthful urge to strengthen my mothers spinal health.Superstitions ascribe supernatural origins to things that humans dont understand, as well as they start opposite a world. Early humans had a lot that they didnt understand, but modern people have been much more enlightened. Superstitions about bad fitness feel like a kind of things you tell gullible children, so because do you still see people knocking upon wood, throwing salt over their shoulders, as well as refusing to walk underneath ladders? Exactly where do these strange superstitions come from, as well as do any have even a minute basement in reality?Dont Spill a Salt!
Salt is one of our many ancient as well as versatile foodstuffs, used for preserving food as well as flavoring it. For many of history, it was incredibly valuable, too, infrequently even used as currency. Spilling such a precious commodity was akin to transfer a thirty-year-old Scotch down a drain. For anyone who was careless sufficient to waste salt, throwing a splash over a left shoulder was said to keep a demon away, since he was certain to be following you after such a disgusting offence.

Red Wine Reduced Breast Cancer Cells

Italian researchers from the University of Calabria say they demonstrated how a key ingredient in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells . Resveratrol is the ingredient they say might be useful in the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to primary therapies. In their experiment resveratrol was applied to different cells and compared to cells that received no treatment. The cells receiving resveratrol showed a decrease in growth. A large reduction in estrogen receptor levels was believed to be related to the inhibition of the breast cancer cells. Their research study was published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies forExperimental Biology. These findings are exciting, but in no way does it mean that should people go out and start using red wine or resveratrol supplements as a treatment for breast cancer, said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief. (Source: ScienceDaily.com ) He said the research is more about the potential of resverat

Get Married, Live Longer?

Written by Jessica Cruel for YourTango.com New research shows that getting married could lengthen your life for up to 17 years .A study published in The American Journal Of Epidemiology reveals that single men have a 32 percent higher chance of death than married men across a lifetime. That means they could die eight to 17 years before the average married man of loneliness? Single women fare a bit better: They have a 23 percent (or about seven to 15 years) lower life expectancy compared to their married peers. This data is based on 90 studies of around 500 million people compiled over the last 60 years by researchers at the University of Louisville: No small feat. Younger singles face greater chances of early death. The risk of death for 30 to 39-year-old singles was 128 percent higher than for married people of the same age. On the other hand, 70-year-old singles only had a 16 percent higher risk of death. Perhaps its because theyve survived a single youth and emerged unscathed. These
