THE REAL REASON YOU SHOULD DO SQUATS
Researchers studying more than 300 sets of twins over the past ten years found that those who had the sturdiest legs a decade ago showed the least deterioration in mental capability over time. If one twin had been more powerful than the other ten years ago, he or she tended to be a much better thinker now, performing about 18 percent better on memory and cognitive tests than the weaker twin.
DEODORANT – DAY OR NIGHT?
Turns out, you should actually be applying deodorant before bed. Here’s why: Antiperspirant works by clogging sweat ducts, which stops moisture from escaping your body. By applying at night (when skin is drier and sweat glands are less active), the antiperspirant has time to do said clogging. Even if you’re a morning showerer, you should still swipe at night, since the antiperspirant, once set, should last 24 hours--regardless of whether you wash off any residue in the shower.
