About Time
 
 All my life, I have wanted to stop time. I see almost no value in the future, and I suspect that virtually every technological advance since the advent of the gramophone has been -- on balance -- detrimental to the human race...

 The clock represents an element of mechanical tyranny in the lives of modern men more potent than any individual exploiter or any other machine.

Here are three reasons to keep aluminum foil out of your kitchen, and some healthier alternatives to use instead. 1. Aluminum foil is a neurotoxin Aluminum has long been scrutinized by the scientific community for its potential role as a neurotoxin. Researchers maintain that, due to the fact that aluminum has no physiological role in the human body, it has the potential to cause significant detrimental effects when consumed. This theory was unequivocally proven when a  2014 study  showed that a 66-year-old man who died with Alzheimer’s disease had significantly elevated aluminum content in his brain, following eight years of occupational exposure. While the study noted that it was the respiratory system that was exposed to aluminum dust, we now know that there is a direct link between aluminum ingestion and  Alzheimer’s disease , a debilitating neurological disorder. The fact also remains that aluminum foil is not fully inert; food cooked or prepared in it  has been ...

Effect of Excessive Talking

Can too much talking or excessive talkativeness, undermine our health? Normal people, as one Western study found, breathe twice as much air when they speak. That reduces their brain CO2 and O2 stores. Long conversations with others, on the phone and excessive talkativeness can thereby cause many side effects such as, dizziness, light-headedness, loss of concentration, emotional instability, muscular tension, and abnormal posture. Furthermore, even 10-20 minutes of continuous speaking on a cell phone resets the breathing center to lower arterial and brain CO2 levels promoting hyperventilation, tissue hypoxia and chronic diseases. Excessive talkativeness or talking too much produces many other devastating side effects and promotes any chronic disease such as; cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and many others.
