Study Shows Eating Less Can Keep The Brain Young and Supple | Geekosystem
geekosystem.com — “Everybody knows that diet and exercise is a great way to try to maintain the ever-more fragile facade of youth as you barrel towards a slow but inevitable decline, but did you know that diet can actually help keep your brain from aging?

New Study Beats Peanut Allergy By Training Immune System | Geekosystem
geekosystem.com — “Food allergies are nasty business, but a new study led by Paul Bryce and Stephen Miller from Northwestern University might offer some hope. In their work, the researchers found that an allergic immune system could be trained to tollerate foods that previously would have triggered dangerous reactions. When a person is allergic to something, it's because the body's immune system overreacts in a tremendous way. This can lead to anaphylactic shock or death in some cases, as the reaction can restrict” View full resource at geekosystem.com

Happy 155th Birthday Nikola Tesla | Geekosystem
geekosystem.com — “On July 10, 1856, Nikola Tesla was born in what is now modern day Croatia.

Man Uses Shotgun to Remove Wart and Loses His Finger | Geekosystem
geekosystem.com — “Sean Murphy, a security guard from South Yorkshire had a wart on his hand. As anyone who has had a wart knows, they tend to grow deep under the skin, and peeling or biting them off usually doesn't cut it (ha). Murphy might've found a perfect solution: Shoot it off with a shotgun. Yes, he lost most of his left middle finger, but he also successfully removed the wart, so the process works. Not only did he remove the wart and most of his finger, but he also removed some of his freedom, as the stole” View full resource at geekosystem.com

Microbiome Gut Bacteria - Enterotypes | Geekosystem
geekosystem.com — “New research published in the journal Nature suggests that the human microbiome -- that is, the community of organisms that live symbiotically within humans -- may occur in certain set varieties.
