EAT CHOCOLATES TO LIVE LONG

    We take in glucose through the food.  We take in oxygen through breath.  Both react to produce water,carbon-di-oxide and energy.  The energy keeps us active and healthy.  This is the opposite reaction of photosynthesis.
     Oxygen atom has six electrons.  Any atom which has eight electrons feel satisfied and complete like "Houseful show".  This is called 'octet' rule in chemistry.  Hydrogen has only one electron.  An oxygen bonds with two hydrogen atoms and share its electrons.  As a result, the oxygen gets eight electrons and H2O -water is formed.  This is how water is formed in the energy giving glucose reaction.

      Since oxygen is always short of two electrons.  It is highly reactive.  It easily removes electrons from other suitable atoms.  This is called 'oxidation'.


     A small percentage of oxygen in our body combines with one hydrogen atom and forms OH radical.  It is short of one electron.  It is electron hungry.  It always looks for an electron to combine with.  These are called 'free radicals'.  They easily react[ oxidation] with our body components and do the damage.  They are said to be responsible for aging.

      To fight oxidation, we need anti-oxidant food.  They are onions, garlic, egg plant, grapes, carrots, spinach, tea, seafood, milk dark chocolates etc.

      These food supply necessary electrons to the free radicals and calm them up.
     Hence do not forget to add these food items in daily diet. They will keep your body young. 

      Note:  Electrons always want to live in pairs like humans!  That is why the lone electron in the free radical want an alliance with another electron.
     The oxygen we take-in is not only life giving but also life damaging.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
