Hello,

since the start of the first lockdown nearly a year ago I started to workout or go for long walks. It helps me to come down. When I go for walks I often listen to podcasts...

I also painted a picture with acrylic's one day.

best wishes

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why do certain hairs seem to grow very fast?

« on: 15/02/2021 14:03:35 »

Hello,

I agree with you all. It is fascinating that on some areas on the body the hair growth is a lot stronger and the hair gets a lot longer than on other places...

I always have the feeling that if I pluck them they grow a lot faster than before... Is there an explanation to this?

Hello,


if you bruise very easily that could be because you have low Vitamin C.Vitamin C helps to keep your blood vessels healthy. Another factor could be that you do not have enough iron.

Do check if you have enough vitamin supply I would suggest taking a blood test.

« on: 15/02/2021 13:52:54 »

Hello

The most common cause for nosebleeds is dry air, which is created due to heating indoors or the climate.

You can also get nosebleeds if you blow your nose to hard or pick it

General Science / Re: Is it possible to measure the weight of clouds?

« on: 13/02/2021 08:38:52 »

Hey!

just read your question, never thought about the weight of clouds before but was intrigued and happy to see someone already had an answer to this topic. So I do not have an answer but wanted to say that it is a great question to ask. 

Yes, but!

The density of dry air at 5000 ft is about 1000 gram/cubic meter. The densest cumulonimbus clouds contain an additional 3 gram/m³ of water, so you can estimate the mass of a cloud as being pretty much the same as the mass of dry air occupying the same volume.

That is so interesting, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Hey everyone !

I always see that you can post tags to your comment or theme. Sometimes it says "be the first one to tag this post". I just wanted to ask if tags have any purpose? Will my comment be on the top or why is it important to tag your posts and comments?

thank you for your help!

Physiology & Medicine / Re: If coffee better than tea?

« on: 13/02/2021 08:29:24 »

hey everyone 

I think it all depends on how much you consume of each. In my opinion 5 cups of coffee everyday is way too much and is not healthy for your body. But I can´t say if that was proven with an experiment etc.
When I'm at work I drink 2 liter of tea during the day, especially in winter. I am not feeling in any way different, but who knows
