It's AumSum Time
Why are some people lazy?
Coz sloths kissed them.
No.
Laziness is disinclination to activity despite having the ability to do it.
Now, there can be various causes of laziness.
First is procrastination.
It is the act of delaying or postponing something.
At first, we might postpone small tasks.
But eventually, prolonged procrastination can restrict all our actions.
Making us lazy.
Second is distraction.
In modern life, distractions like video games, cell phones, etc.
Have made children linger at one place, restraining their physical activity.
Thus, making us lazy Third is 'couch potato gene'.
When we complete a task.
A neurotransmitter called dopamine is released which gives us pleasure.
Makes us feel good.
But due to the presence of this couch potato gene in some people.
The ability of dopamine is restricted, resulting in less motivation to get up.
Thus making us a couch potato!!
Pins and needles.
Why do limbs fall asleep?
Because they are tired.
No.
It basically happens because of nerves.
Through nerves, our brain communicates with our limbs.
Wow.
Nerves are so amazing.
Yup.
However, when we cross our legs or sleep on an arm for very long.
We apply pressure causing the nerve pathways and its surrounding arteries to squeeze.
Hence, the nerves do not work properly.
And the arteries cannot supply required nutrients to the nerves.
As a result, the signals sent by our brain do not reach the limb.
Thus, we cannot move it.
So, we say that our limb has fallen asleep.
Also, in some situations.
Some of these squeezed nerves stop sending signals while some fire hyperactively.
This gives us the sensation of pins and needles.
Bad breath.
Why do we get bad breath?
It's not bad breath.
It's perfume.
Oh gross.
Bad breath is generally caused by bacteria that live in our mouth.
These bacteria feed on the food particles which get stuck in our teeth, gums and tongue.
They breakdown the food particles into simpler forms.
Releasing foul smelling compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.
Methanethiol and cadaverine.
These gases form the bad breath.
But why is morning breath so bad??
Usually during the day.
Saliva carries the food particles and bacteria from the mouth into our stomach.
Thus controlling the bad breath.
However, when we sleep, we produce less saliva.
Making our mouth dry.
This increases the growth of bacteria.
Thus increasing the breakdown food and producing bad breath in the morning.
Human Eyes.
What are eye boogers?
They are similar to burgers.
Oh gross.
Noo.
Eye boogers generally contain oil, dust, germs, etc.
They are formed from the tear film on our eyes.
Does the film have any action scenes??
Oh no.
The tear film mainly consists of three layers, mucin layer, aqueous layer and lipid or oily layer.
Together, these layers moisturize our eyes.
They also trap dust and germs which are removed while blinking.
When we blink, the eyelid closes and if there is any dust or germ.
It gets discarded along with some tear film through the tear duct into the nasal cavity.
But while sleeping, since we don’t blink.
The tear film, dust and germs get collected in the inner corners of our eyes and start to dry out.
Forming eye boogers.
