All tag results for 'blood'

A new study from King's College in London has found that smoking basically rots your brain.

Everyone already knows smoking is bad for your lungs, teeth, skin, basically everything.

But this new research of 8,800 people over the age of 50 found that many things we do affect our mind just as much as our bodies.

Please, PLEASE, let this be true!

Apparently there's a new vaccine that could give lifelong protection against the flu virus! The key is to make it out of messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic material that controls the production of proteins. Not only may it work for life, and it may be possible to manufacture it quickly enough to stop a pandemic!

Holy shizz!

This is awesome news because every time we become to immune to one of the flu viruses, it continues to evolve, so one year's strain is completely different from the next. Plus, most flu vaccines are grown in chicken eggs or cell culture, a process that takes at least six months — it's not exactly quick.

Then the World Health Organization has to predict which strains are going to be worse ahead of time!

The mRNA vaccine can be mass-produced in a few weeks and can be turned into a freeze-dried powder that does not need refrigeration, unlike most vaccines. Blowing your minds already?

This is not good news.

Hector "Macho" Camacho, who is a boxing legend, has been listed in extremely critical condition after going into cardiac arrest because he was shot in Puerto Rico last night.

It was a drive by shooting, and he was hit several times in the face and neck, luckily being rushed immediately to the nearby hospital.

Ian Somerhalder is a vampire… like, not just on TV!

The Vampire Diaries star revealed his true identity on Twitter today, posting a pic of him downing some heart juice and writing:

"I was hungry at the Dr… Damon Salvatore style ;)"

Ew. But also, strangely sexy.

Don't worry Somerhalder fans! We're like 100 99 percent sure he's just kidding.

There's just one thing that troubles us about this pic… where did he get the blood??

Kinda creepy, Ian!

Is your spritz on the fritz? Trying switching diets!

Along with the dog, vegans believe a meat-free diet is man's best friend…especially when it comes to love making.

As vegan diets don't lead to heart disease, the blood flow is free to flow everywhere…including the penis.

So what are some foods that make great aphrodisiacs?

Want yet another way to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke??

Meditate!

According to the latest study, we have the strongest reasons ever to get into the habit of meditation. It's no longer a practice of the kooky, but rather a practice of the healthy!

One of the issues with legalizing marijuana is the inevitable surge of people who think they can go out and drive after smoking a fat ol' blunt. Not the case.

While there isn't really a breathalyzer for hitting bongs, cops still have ways to crack down on those dumb enough to drive while high.

Washington's law does change DUI provisions by setting a new blood-test limit for marijuana — a limit police are training to enforce. Lawyers are ready to challenge this, though, as a positive result could be from previous legal consumption that wasn't affecting their driving.

Colorado has no new DUI provisions, making them scramble to figure out how to handle it.
