Cordyceps - zombie v realite
Cordyceps sinensis - to je náš zombie predátor. V Číne ju volajú "v zime hmyz, v lete byliny". Predstavte si hubu, ktorá pri rozmnožovaní v lete vystreľuje svoje spóry (semeno) a to sa uchytí na tele hmyzu. Postupne prerastá jeho telo a parazituje na ňom, postupne ho zvnútra doslova zožerie, pričom hmyz naďalej žije, mení sa aj jeho vonkajšia podoba ale naďalej zháňa potravu, až kým nezalezie pod zem, kde uhynie a mumifikuje sa. Huba v ňom dokáže prežiť aj dlhšie obdobie. Huba doslova ovládne telo hostiteľa, v lete z jeho tela vyrastie, vytvorí štíhle "paličky" vysoké 5-20cm. Toto inšpirovalo sériu videohier Last of Us kde huba Cordyceps urobí z ľudstva zombíkov. V reálnom živote sa táto videohra odohráva v skutočnom živote hmyzu. Obeťami sú larvy motýľov, veľké mravce, pavúky...
Do we need the 'sunshine' vitamin D3 only in winter?
When you feel the sun's rays on your skin, know that your body is creating one of the most important vitamins - D3, which was discovered thanks to centuries of research. The discovery of vitamin D3 became one of the most significant medical achievements of the 20th century, saving millions of lives: It was the year 1650 and in the streets of London, doctors noticed that more and more children were suffering from a strange disease called rickets (their bones were weak and brittle, legs deformed, growth slowed). It wasn't until 1919 that Dr. Huldschinsky exposed children with rickets to ultraviolet light and their bones began to heal! Three years later, biochemist McCollum discovered a substance that prevented rickets and called it vitamin D. Gradually, the existence of the most important form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) was discovered.
Is iodine a necessity? ... Iodine - Kelp
Iodine is a trace element, with an interesting role in health, which we associate with the thyroid gland. It occurs naturally in the marine environment and one of the richest natural sources of iodine is kelp seaweed, also known as "Bladderwrack, Norwegian Laminaria," which has been used in traditional medicine and cuisine for centuries. Kelp can absorb large amounts of iodine directly from the ocean. The body needs iodine to produce thyroid hormones, without which much more would not work ... our metabolism would not function properly, we would have little energy, and our minds would be dull.
