In Icelandic legends, there is a creature called Yulekattturin, a giant Christmas cat that roams the countryside in December and devours lazy people.

Only those who wore new clothes on Christmas Eve, especially socks, could be saved. In the past, this meant that a person was not lazy, but processed sheep's wool and sewed warm clothes before the cold weather set in, without which it was impossible to survive the winter.

Let's not be lazy, or the cat will eat us.

Farting is good for your health, according to research.

In an experiment, scientists had mice inhale hydrogen sulfide, the same gas that is released when farting. As a result, the rodents' neurodegenerative processes slowed down, and their memory and motor skills improved.

It turned out that hydrogen sulfide is involved in cellular signaling mechanisms and protects neurons. Scientists believe that it could be used to create a powerful medicine.

We don't stink, we care about our health.

Chinese billionaires are having hundreds of children in the US with the help of surrogate mothers in order to "create invincible dynasties," writes the WSJ. Surrogacy is prohibited in China, so top managers and billionaires have been setting up schemes through the US for years: previously, this was a way to circumvent the "one family, one child" policy, but now it also allows them to obtain US citizenship for their heirs.

In the United States, an entire turnkey industry has grown up around this demand — surrogate mothers, clinics, lawyers, nannies, and even "baby delivery" services. It is not necessary to come to the US: it is enough to send genetic material, pay about $200,000, and receive a child. The record holder is video game creator Xu Bo, a billionaire who openly criticizes feminism and boasts of having hundreds of children, mostly boys, because "they are superior to women."

…

…

Another Chinese billionaire planned to have 10 girls and marry them off to world leaders, while his competitor wanted 200 children at once, but the agency refused, saying, "We are not a supermarket."

China is taking all pandas from Japan amid worsening relations between the two countries — the first such case in 50 years.

All pandas in the world belong to China and are only loaned to other countries. Their presence in zoos is a symbol of friendship with China. If they are taken back, it signals a looming conflict between the countries.

To understand the scale of this, it costs the Moscow Zoo a billion rubles a year to rent the pandas Zhui and Dingding.

Japanese zoos will only be able to show the pandas until the end of January. Against the backdrop of this news, wild excitement has begun — tickets to zoos are being raffled off.

Chronic anxiety can be reduced by eating certain foods, according to a study.

After examining the brains of 712 people with anxiety, scientists discovered that they had abnormally low levels of choline in key areas of the brain. Choline supports memory, affects mood, and influences stress resistance.

The conclusion is simple: the more choline in your diet, the more stable your nervous system. Eggs, liver, fish, and soy products are among the foods that can help.

Mental balance can be achieved through the refrigerator, so let's write that down.

Tequila, gin and vodka are the "safest" alcoholic beverages on the New Year's table, according to doctors.

These drinks contain no sugar or fat, which makes them less caloric and harmful to the figure.

Liqueurs and even champagne were named the worst — these drinks are not only high in calories, but also harmful to teeth, causing tooth decay.

However, experts reminded that excessive consumption of any alcohol is harmful to health.

Frogs have defeated cancer — a bacterium has been found in amphibians that can destroy almost any type of cancer.

The bacterium Ewingella americana was discovered in the intestines of Japanese tree frogs. It moves around the body on its own, finds tumours and destroys them without causing recurrence.
An experiment on mice proved to be a breakthrough: a single injection of the frog bacteria killed all cancerous tumours in rodents in 100% of cases.
The bacteria is considered safe — it does not damage other organs in the body.
— The tumours died within three days. According to the researchers, this is safer than chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Scientists are currently preparing for human trials. If they are successful, it will be a real breakthrough in medicine.

The older we get, the faster time flies for us — scientists have officially proven this.

With age, the brain begins to "save memory" and instead of memorising routines, it keeps track of time by events rather than by the clock. That is why the years fly by unnoticed.

The good news is that the system can be tricked. New places, trips, activities and experiences stretch time — the more new things there are, the longer the year seems.
