Does your mental state affect your skin?

Your mental state affects how your skin looks. Bad mental health can affect our skin long-term. For example: depression makes repairing inflammation in cells slower, which means your pimples will heal slower as well as marks after pimples. It can also give you acne or eczema and it can make your skin look dull. Social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, body dysmorphia and many more disorders can make you stressed or sad which also affects your skin condition badly. Also stressing about not having “perfect” skin can make your mental health worse, which will affect your skin, so it can be a never ending process, which can be broken by for example getting medical help . On the other hand, falling in love can also make an impact on your skin. Oxytocin, also known as "the love hormone" can make your skin look glowy, speed up the healing of inflammation, make you break out less and it can boost collagen production. In conclusion your mental state can affect your skin in a bad or good way and if you struggle with your mental health you should go get professional help.

Can you learn a language in your sleep?

Sleep learning was first shown in cartoons which started to interest more and more people that wanted to know if you actually can learn while sleeping. Finally thanks to neuroimaging we know that the brain in some phases of sleep can actually pick up some information. They tested it out on people who wanted to quit smoking and 35% of them actually quit after they mixed the smell of rotten fish with the smell of cigarettes and presented it to them during the time they slept. Then they tested if they can teach people japaneses while sleeping. During the day they played a sound of animal and an image of them to the person learning then when they were sleeping they played the sound of animal and what are they called in japanese and in the morning they played what the animal is called with two images to choose from and they observed that the participants chose the wright picture with their skills rather than luck.

How to sleep better and reduce back pain

 Sleeping is really important, so how you sleep is crucial for your well being. A physiotherapist who used to have back pain from bad sleeping revealed how to improve your sleep position.

Taliban ban Afghan women from university education

On the 20th of December Taliban banned women from afghanistan from university education. Earlier women were banned from going to secondary schools as well as going to gym, parks, funfairs, public baths. Women were also banned from traveling without a male relative. Women are terrified for their future. They are paid a small salary after they were pushed from their jobs, to stay at home. Ramiz Alakbarov, who is the secretary general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan showed his concern on Twitter for the future of Afghanistan, if women are blocked from education. This is happening, because of the takeover of Afghanistan by the Islamist last year in August. I think I wouldn't know what to do, if i was in the Afghan women position. I feel really sorry for them, but personally I don't know if there is any way to help them. I also agree with the secretary general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan, about the future of Afghanistan, if women are not allowed ...
