Combat hay fever naturally
Spring is in full bloom and with
summer on the way, the pollen count
is set to get higher. For an alternative
remedy, put away the drowsy
anti-histamine tablets and reach
for a jar of honey. Increasing your
honey intake can relieve hay fever
symptoms because the bee pollen in
honey can desensitise your body to
other pollens.
Can machines be creative?
Did you know
that since 2010, a
computer cluster
named ‘Iamus’
can create its
own songs by
using a series of
algorithms in only
8 minutes?
Iamus is located in the University
of Malaga, Spain, and is powered
by Melomics’ technology. Since its
creation, the robot, which sports the
look of a custom shell, has created
9 pieces of contemporary classical
music.
Yes, it has its own ‘albums’; in fact
one can go listen to Iamus’ first full
composition ‘Hello World!’ online,
produced in 2011. Will us, humans,
end up losing the exclusivity of art
creation in the future?
Remember the blues
Juicy blueberries have become
famous for their antioxidant powers
and superfood qualities. But did
you know that blueberries can also
protect you from memory loss?
Studies have suggested that eating
one serving of blueberries a week
can slow down cognitive decline by
several years. Is it too late to start?
Green edible cutlery
An innovative new way to substitute
plastic utensils with edible cutlery
has been invented by Narayan
Peesapathy.
Bakey’s Edible cutlery, founded
by Peesapathy in 2011, creates its
products using millets, rice and
wheat.
Body-related foods:
Mere coincidence?
Some foods
may actually
be directly
speaking to
us. In fact,
they can tell
us what body
organ they are
beneficial for
simply by their strikingly similar
appearance. For instance, kidney
beans (hence their name!) resemble
the exact figure of our kidneys, and
are indeed beneficial for them.
So, don’t forget to include them in
your diet!
Also, you know about those ‘tiny
brains’? Walnuts, yes. You might
want to stock up on some of those
too! They are certainly valuable to
your memory and brain’s health,
plus it can help ward off dementia
and improve Alzheimer’s cases.
Individuals can eat their spoons as
an after meal snack or throw them
out, letting it decompose in 4-5 days.
The cutlery can also be enjoyed in
a range of different flavours: plain,
sweet, and savoury.
