I was chatting with a friend and she brought up the subject of biology and attraction. How you can think that a man or woman is beautiful, but you just can’t get past their smell. I’m not talking body odor, I’m talking their basic smell.

The “smell” theory deals with immune systems, with the idea that you are most attracted to someone whose system is very different from your own. This has to do with producing healthy children. Here’s something explaining it from Dr. Helen Fisher……
It’s about romantic compatibility, in this case “MHC” compatibility.  MHC means Major Histocompatibility Complex and it …read more

I’m a little bit conservative, so it often leads to major gaps in sex. Basically, if someone isn’t a serious part of my life, I am not getting naked with them.

Great.
Maybe. Researchers at Queens University in Belfast say that sex makes our pelvic muscles stronger, which helps prevent incontinence. And scholars at Wilkes University …read more

According to ongoing research, cells of the immune system can be trained to have the capacity to circulate throughout the body and attack cancerous cells.
This definitely sounds like the body’s natural mechanism to attack cancerous cells. How exactly can this be done?
…the new program will allow researchers to continue advancing methods by which immune activating cells from humans are modified in the laboratory and infused into patients where they will trigger other immune cells to seek out and destroy cancer.
The said research program is led by McMaster University’s Jonathan Bramson in order to accelerate the work in this …read more

Bumping into this article reminded me of My Top 10 Cancer Beaters.
After all, living and eating healthy all boils down to a strong or robust immune system that lessens our risk of having major diseases and of course, cancer.
Indeed, the link between the increasingly common lifestyle factors, the immune system and cancer, with the ultimate goals of preventing and better understanding cancer development are the issues under dissection at the American Association for Cancer Research’s Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research meeting.
Like the gum disease-prostate cancer link. Harvard School of Public Health’s epidemiologists were able to show that diseased gums increase …read more
