The use of fossil fuels continues in the face of rising global energy demand, continued consumption and investment in new fossil fuel plants, and energy use, the report said. lower biomass such as using wood or agricultural waste in heating and cooking. Burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil produces carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. As concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere rise to record levels, governments have called for stronger emissions cuts and curbs on fossil fuel use to meet global climate goals.

The share of fossil fuels in the global energy mix was 80.2% in 2019, compared with 80.3% in 2009, while renewables such as wind and solar accounted for 11, REN21 said. 2% in the energy structure in 2019 and 8.7% in 2009. The remainder of the energy mix consists of traditional biomass, which is used largely for cooking or heating in homes in the developing world. However, in many regions, including parts of China, the European Union, India, and the United States, it is now cheaper to build new wind or solar photovoltaic plants than to operate new ones. existing coal plant. Renewable energy is also competing with new natural gas-fired power plants in terms of cost in many locations and is the cheapest source of new electricity generation in countries on all continents, the report said. big land. “We are waking up to the bitter reality that the climate policy promises of the past ten years have been almost empty words,” said Rana Adib, CEO of REN21. “The share of fossil fuels in final energy consumption has not shifted an inch,” she added. In many countries, the Covid-19 economic recovery packages aim to stimulate further investment in renewable energy. But renewable investments only account for about one-sixth of investment in fossil fuels, the report added.

In the past, all three planets were rocky planets, the surface of which was composed of solid metals and silicates. Among them, our Earth is the largest planet, the mass and radius of Venus is only about 82% and 95% of the Earth, respectively, the mass and radius of Mars only account for about 11% and 53% when compared to our planet. Over the past few decades, humans have launched many unmanned probes to Venus and Mars, and it turns out that the environments on these two planets are very harsh. Venus is too hot, and Mars is too cold, and there is no oxygen on either planet, so life on Earth could not exist in such an environment, and astronomers could not find it. see any other traces of life there. So, how were Venus and Mars 4 billion years ago? Why are Venus and Mars now barren, and only our planet is habitable? Calculated based on the radiant power of the sun, Venus and Mars also operate in the same habitable zone as Earth, which means they can receive just the right amount of solar radiation to water. on their surface can still be in a liquid state. Astronomers speculate based on current signs on Venus and Mars and surmise that there may have been an ocean of liquid water on both Venus and Mars 4 billion years ago. For the first few hundred million years, Venus was a warm and humid planet. In the primordial oceans of Venus, life was fully qualified to evolve. They could be carbon-based life like life on Earth or could be other life forms. However, Venus’s habitable period did not last long. Because Venus is so close to the sun, and the temperature of the sun gradually increases over time, making Venus hotter and hotter, and a large amount of liquid water has also been evaporated. At the same time, the volcanic activity on Venus is also gradually becoming more active and continuously releasing carbon dioxide, causing a strong greenhouse effect. Without oceans, carbon dioxide would not be neutralized. They enter the atmosphere and cause a severe greenhouse effect, which will increase the temperature on Venus. Meanwhile, on Earth, the oceans, plants and minerals absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, so the Earth will not become too hot due to the strong greenhouse effect during that period. Eventually, Venus’ greenhouse effect was completely out of control, liquid water completely evaporated, and life could have been destroyed. According to data returned by the Venus probe, the current concentration of carbon dioxide in Venus’s atmosphere is as high as 96.5%, and the surface atmospheric pressure is 91 times higher than the Earth’s surface. Under the influence of this extreme greenhouse effect, Venus has essentially reached thermal equilibrium, and the average surface temperature is as high as 464 degrees Celsius. Although it is essentially impossible to have life on the surface of Venus today, some astronomers speculate that there may be some strange life in the atmosphere of Venus. In the sky high enough above the surface of Venus, the atmospheric pressure will be moderate, and the temperature will not be high, possibly for the synthesis of organic matter and the evolution of life. On the other hand, ancient Mars was probably also a habitable planet. Currently, on Mars there is a large amount of water-washed terrain, and there are some iron ores that can only be generated in the aquatic environment, which is strong evidence for the existence of a large amount of water. liquid water on ancient Mars. So, how did Mars become such a uninhabitable planet as it is? At present-day Mars’ North Pole, there is a giant basin whose surface is equivalent to two-fifths of the surface of Mars. This huge Arctic basin was formed by a massive collision. Studies have shown that about 3.9 billion years ago, a dwarf planet (about the size of Pluto) with a diameter of about 2,000 km collided with the north pole of Mars. This massive collision completely changed the core of Mars, causing activities inside Mars to quickly stop, and the Martian magnetic field also gradually weakened and finally almost disappeared. lost. Without the protection of the magnetic field, the solar wind gradually strengthens and melts the atmosphere of Mars, liquid water continues to evaporate, causing Mars to quickly become a barren land. Currently, there is almost no atmosphere on Mars, but there is still some water ice in the polar regions. In addition, there may be a seasonal amount of liquid water in some areas of Mars, which has a high salt content and may be temporarily liquid in the low-temperature Martian environment. At the moment, the temperature on Mars is very low, the average temperature is only -63 degrees Celsius. If humans want to settle on Mars in the future, the first thing to do is to strengthen the star’s magnetic field. Mars and produces large amounts of greenhouse gases to “heat” Mars and melt the solid water that exists on Mars. Mars is much smaller than Earth, so it would have cooled from its molten state at its inception faster than Earth, so liquid water on Mars may have appeared earlier, which could This means that life on Mars may have formed and evolved earlier than our planet. Therefore, there are conspiracy theories that, when celestial bodies collided with Mars, the rocks that were thrown into space by the collisions could have carried the germ of life on Mars into space, and then some someday fall to Earth, becoming the source of life on Earth. And perhaps by coincidence, life on Earth also began to form around the same time that Mars’ North Pole collided. From the point of view of time, this is consistent. In addition, astronomers have discovered traces of suspected life in meteorites on Mars that have fallen to Earth. Life on Earth may have originated on Mars, but this has so far required more convincing evidence. In the past, the Curiosity rover has detected some carbon-containing organic substances in the rocks on Mars, which may be evidence that ancient Mars once had a few living things. Even now, it is still possible for life on Mars, they did not go extinct billions of years ago, but moved into the Martian underground and developed a unique survival mechanism to adapt to the harsh environment. harsh on this planet. Compared to Venus and Mars, our planet is very lucky. For billions of years, Earth has always been a habitable planet, so hundreds of millions of species have appeared here. Our Earth is like a “chosen planet”, a moderate distance from the sun, with a magnetic field that can resist solar radiation so that all kinds of life can continue to multiply and develop. Although it cannot be ruled out that some planets in the solar system (such as Europa) also harbor life, the environments of those planets are very different from those of Earth, and most life on Earth is not ruled out. Soil cannot exist there. In the near future, Earth will still be the only planet inhabited by humans in the universe.

Hughes’ family has a tradition of breeding for generations. Now, he uses the farm to mine cryptocurrencies with a set of “buffalo plows” that use renewable energy from cow dung. Mining coins with renewable energy With six cylinder engines at 500 rpm, Hughes’ anaerobic digestion system can turn the methane that produces cow dung into electricity. BBC said. Under hypoxic conditions, microorganisms will eat hydrogen and carbon dioxide in cow dung and release methane gas, which can be burned to generate heat. The residue left after the anaerobic stage will be used as fertilizer. Philip Hughes’ farm (left) uses cow dung to produce renewable energy, feed livestock, and mine Ethereum. Photo: Crypto Hunter. According to Hughes, about two-thirds of the electricity generated from the anaerobic digester powers the nearby cattle ranch and caravan park. The rest of the energy is used for “buffalo plow” platforms to mine Ethereum. Hughes said Ethereum mining returns are good, but “depends on the date the question is asked,” referring to the cryptocurrency’s unpredictable price movements. Since May, the value of Ethereum has dropped from more than $4,000 to around $2,500, according to data from . CoinDesk on the evening of 10/6. Is mining with green energy possible? Not only digging Ethereum at the farm, Hughes also came up with the idea of ​​​​renting a “buffalo plow”. Josh Riddett, a representative of Easy Crypto Hunter miner provider, said that the cost to pay is about $ 25,400 for each “buffalo plow” set consisting of many computer graphics cards with strong configuration. According to Riddett, Easy Crypto Hunter’s mining rigs have been installed in 42 different locations. They use energy forms such as solar, wind, hydroelectricity and stored methane from anaerobic digesters. The longevity of the “buffalo plow” platforms causes concern about e-waste. Photo: Getty Images. However, representatives of some small hydropower projects are concerned that cryptocurrency mining may have an adverse impact on the environment. Meanwhile, the hydroelectric power plant operator said that the unstable value of cryptocurrencies makes it difficult to recover capital for the project. Some people said that crooks broke in and stole the mining rig. Besides hydroelectric power, the initiative to use renewable energy (green energy) to mine cryptocurrencies is also controversial. According to the BBC , renewable energy to mine coins can be used for other purposes such as powering electric cars or heating. Financial economist Alex de Vries said that using green energy to mine coins is wasteful. “The benefits these systems offer are very limited. Bitcoin can only process up to 7 transactions per second, while payment services like Visa can process 65,000 transactions per second if needed.” Vries is also concerned that the longevity of the “buffalo plots” could make them quickly become e-waste. Using renewable energy to mine coins is considered wasteful. Photo: BTCManager. In the UK, the Association of Bioresources and Anaerobic Digestion of the country said that the number of energy plants mining cryptocurrencies is quite small. While the future of cryptocurrency is unclear, several people have expressed interest in Hughes’ mining project. This farmer is fully aware of the risks of investing in assets whose value fluctuates, sometimes with just a single tweet from Elon Musk. If the cryptocurrency market crashes, Hughes said he will use the computing power of the “buffalo” to serve other purposes, such as hiring filmmakers to render. The owner of the net shop removed the machine, digs coins and waits for the translation to end Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Nguyen Minh Quan (Thu Duc City) had to close the net shop, remove the graphics card to dig coins, earn extra income waiting for the reopening date.

Illustration However, you will have to change your mind right away because beer can also help you take care of your hair effectively. This sounds quite mythical because many women previously thought that beer only made the guys drunk. However, how to wash your hair with beer will shock you at its ability to restore damaged hair in a very special way! Beer is made from hops and malt. Both of these ingredients are essential sources of protein to help strengthen and repair damaged hair. In addition to protein, beer also has many other great nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, B vitamins (especially biotin, also known as vitamin H or B7) and maltose. In fact, biotin prevents hair loss and helps promote healthy hair growth. It also helps to get rid of dandruff effectively. The maltose found in beer helps smooth the scalp and tightens the hair cuticles so your hair appears more shiny and smooth. Brew your hair with beer after shampooing as it is not a hair cleanser. And, don’t worry about the smell as the beer smell will dissipate in just a few minutes once your hair is dry. Instructions on how to wash hair with beer to help beautiful hair Step 1: Pour beer into a bowl to leave overnight to remove carbon dioxide (this is a substance that interferes with the operation of shampoo, and this substance when combined with water, creates hard water that makes hair stand up, tangled, harder to comb). Step 2: Clean hair, dry hair slightly, then gently massage with beer from the roots to the ends of the hair for about 3-5 minutes for the beer to penetrate into the hair roots. Step 3: Use a warm towel to incubate your hair for about 10 minutes, then rinse with water.

The company is interested in planting large timber trees. The tropical monsoon climate is a favorable condition for Vietnam to exploit the largest natural wind source in Southeast Asia. With the potential for average wind speeds of more than 10m/s, Vietnam’s territorial waters are in the top 10% of windiest places on the planet. Some wind power plants are rushing to be completed, in parallel with that is promoting afforestation, greening bare hills, bringing more sustainable growth to localities. Energy source to protect the environment Currently, energy generated from fossil fuels accounts for about 67% of the energy supplied to the world, but is polluting the environment with carbon dioxide emissions. Producing wind power with a 20-year-old turbine generates renewable energy (RE), with no carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. According to calculations by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), the potential for wind power installed in Europe by the end of 2007 with a total capacity of 56.5 GW, will avoid the emission of 90 million tons of CO2 to the environment per year. year. This is equivalent to 45 million cars on the road. In addition to being able to cut CO2, wind power also avoids toxic chemical waste such as mercury and other chemicals that pollute the environment. Using wind power will not deplete or destroy natural resources, but also ensure good use of resources from wind potential. According to the United Nations (UN’s Emissions Gap Report 2020), success in managing the transition to green energy will help developing countries take the leap beyond high-emission technologies. CO2, which underpins richer nations. Vietnam with about 97 million people and 6.5-7% GDP growth has seen energy consumption more than double since 2010. Access to reliable, cost-effective energy sources will be a factor. important for sustainable economic growth. Wind Turbine No. 1. Working together for the program “one billion trees” In the orientation and planning of renewable energy development, Nhon Hoi 1 Wind Power Plant and Nhon Hoi 2 Wind Power Plant invested by FICO Binh Dinh Energy Joint Stock Company as an investor are being built at Phuong Mai mountain, area. Nhon Hoi economy, Binh Dinh province. This is one of the areas assessed to have the largest wind power potential in the country. Nhon Hoi 1 Wind Power Plant has a capacity of 30 MW, surveyed, researched and invested on an area of ​​about 175 hectares, with a total investment of more than VND 1,321 billion. Nhon Hoi 2 Wind Power Plant Project has a capacity of 30 MW, surveyed and researched on an area of ​​about 201 hectares, with a total investment of more than 1,249 billion VND. As of May 2021, the factory has basically completed the infrastructure and safe transportation of super-heavy equipment. Compared with other renewable energy sources such as solar power, after installing wind turbines, the area where the wind turbines are located is still used for farming or other agricultural and forestry activities. Mr. Huynh Van Luan, Deputy General Director of FICO Binh Dinh Energy Joint Stock Company, said that the Nhon Hoi Wind Power Plant site is refurbishing the infrastructure and landscape, accelerating the speed of afforestation. The whole project is expected to be completed by the end of August. Due to the steep rocky and windy terrain, Phuong Mai mountain has no large trees, mainly naturally growing low shrubs. The afforestation project of FICO Company invests in afforestation of large timber trees on the entire Phuong Mai mountain, phase 1 of the project to plant 40 hectares of forests will be implemented from April 2021 by Anh Vu Seed Company Limited. Due to the hot season, priority should be given to afforestation in favorable locations first. Plant breeding work and planting site are also actively preparing for mass planting starting from August this year. The selection of plant species must also take into account factors that are suitable for the rocky terrain and harsh sea breezes at Phuong Mai mountain, therefore, the company will research plants suitable for natural conditions, soil, Abundant native trees create lush green forests. Also according to Mr. Huynh Van Luan, afforestation is difficult, care and protection of forests is even more difficult. “In order to implement the project effectively, we have taken into account detailed plans, such as care procedures, pest control, and weed clearance. Particularly for the Phuong Mai mountain afforestation project, the company will prioritize using local workers right from the stage of planting to tending, managing and protecting forests … “, Mr. Luan affirmed.

Millennia later, scientists believe they have figured out why – a dense cloud of carbon dioxide causes animals that breathe it to suffocate. Dating back 2,200 years, the cave was rediscovered by archaeologists from the University of Salento in 2011. Simulation image of Plutonium It was located in a city called Hierapolis in ancient Phrygia, in what is now Turkey, and was used for animal sacrifices, which were bulls led through Plutonium, or the Gate of Pluto, the ancient god of the underworld – by the purified priests. The purified priests are sacrificing bulls As the priests led the bulls in, people could sit on high chairs above and watch the smoke billowing from the gate killing the animals. “ This space was so full of fog and dense that one could hardly see the ground. Any animal that goes inside is met with instant death. I threw the sparrows in and they immediately took their last breath and fell. ” wrote the Greek historian Strabo (64 BC – 24 AD). A photo showing dead birds at the entrance to “Hell’s Gate” It was this phenomenon that alerted the archaeological team to the location of the cave. Birds flying too close to the mouth of the cave suffocated and fell – indicating that, thousands of years later, it is still as deadly as ever. The culprit is seismic activity underground, according to volcanologist Hardy Pfanz of the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, who led a study of the cave’s gas in 2018. A fissure runs deep inside. below the area emitting a large amount of volcanic carbon dioxide. Today’s Status of Plutonium The team measured carbon dioxide levels in the area connected to the cave, and found that the gas – slightly heavier than air – forms a layer 40 centimeters (15.75 inches) above the floor. They found that the gas is scattered by the Sun during the day, but it is most dangerous at dawn after a night of accumulation. Concentrations that reach above 50% at the bottom of the lake, about 35% at 10 cm, can even kill a person – but, above 40 cm, concentrations drop rapidly. During the day, there was still some carbon dioxide about 5 centimeters high, as evidenced by dead bugs found by the team on the floor of the site. And inside the cave, they estimate CO2 concentrations consistently range from 86 to 91 percent, as neither the Sun nor the wind can enter. An inscription at the site indicates the hell gods Pluto and Kore. (Francesco D’Andria / University of Salento) The team notes in their paper that there is a strong touristic element to the place. Tourists could purchase small animals and birds that they could throw down for sacrifice, and on holidays larger animals were sacrificed by priests. “While the bull was standing in the lake with its mouth and nostrils 60 to 90 cm high, the large, mature priests (galli) always stood upright in the lake, ‘ the team wrote in their 2018 paper. Spectators will see large, strong bulls that can’t stand the smoke for a few minutes, while the priests remain strong and proud – a testament to the power of the gods and priests to perform. present to the people at that time. However, researchers believe that the priests were well aware of the characteristics of the cave and surrounding arena, and were able to conduct major sacrifices at dawn or dusk in the early days. Quiet day for maximum effect. Current status of the area They may also burrow their heads inside or into caves during midday ceremonies to demonstrate their abilities, holding their breath to endure. But the presence of oil lamps also suggests that priests approached the cave at night, according to the researcher who found it, Francesco D’Andria. Currently, the ancient city of Hierapolis still becomes one of the attractions attracting thousands of tourists.

According to experts from a California-based start-up company (USA), this electric multi-purpose self-propelled agricultural machine can help farmers transform green production more strongly because it is a completely electric-powered product. the world’s first. Monarch’s products are considered the “King of Agricultural Machines” to open up the process of green production transformation with unprecedented smart, high-tech and safety features. Photo: Designboom The advantage of the versatile agricultural machine designed by Monarch Tractor is that it is quite compact and programmed to perform different jobs such as plowing, harvesting, mowing and can operate in up to 10 hours after 5 hours of charging. According to Monarch experts, when each of their agricultural machines is powered by renewable electricity to replace the traditional older generation with diesel engines, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year – the equivalent of removing 14 gasoline-powered passenger cars from the road. Although this versatile agricultural machine does not require a driver, to comply with applicable US regulations it must have a person operating it remotely, receiving real-time warnings and being able to stop the vehicle. in necessary situations. The product is also equipped with sensors, which can remotely detect livestock and crops, and has a collision prevention system that allows it to work autonomously at the same time as farm workers. Several tech companies are also working on developing unmanned agricultural machines, including California-based Bear Flag, Illinois-based John Deere and Denmark’s Agrointelli, but Monarch is the first to offer the product. With nearly two decades of experience working in mobility and energy, Monarch Tractor startup founder and CEO Praveen Penmetsa says he captures the trend of how technology can shape an industry. “Looking at these two industries has helped me shape a pattern and the idea that global agriculture is also ready for transformation,” Mr. Penmetsa said. CNN Business. In addition, this versatile agricultural machine can also collect data during operation to provide farmers with information on crop health, long-term yield forecasts, and warnings about problems. problems such as leakage of irrigation water or degraded soil … After raising $20 million in March, Penmetsa and a team of more than 50 engineers at the company’s Livermore headquarters conducted a series of trials on farms in three states. Save labor and fuel It is expected that within the next two months, the company will officially offer the first agricultural machines to farmers in the states of California, Washington and Oregon with prices starting at $ 50,000. The Monarch company is hoping to start commercial production by the end of this year. Monarch’s versatile agricultural machine can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in labor and fuel costs, experts say. Monarch Tractor’s versatile agricultural machine is expected to be mass-produced from the end of this year. Photo: Agriland According to David Rose, associate professor of agricultural innovation at the University of Reading, farmers are under increasing pressure to manage to feed a growing population coupled with consumer demand for agricultural products. sustainable products, while they face labor shortages. “The whole society is asking farmers to overcome many challenges at the same time. I don’t think we look at our plates on the table three times a day and think about all the hardships farmers are facing,” Mr Rose said. According to Mr. Rose, at this stage, the most transformative feature of the Monarch farm machine is that it runs on electricity and the relief of gas-hungry, diesel-hungry equipment is amazing. However, what Monarch’s founder and CEO is most excited about is the prospect that farmers can use parameters and data in the production process to provide more transparency to customers. Mr. Penmetsa envisions that there will be a QR code on agro-food packaging that shoppers can scan to access information about how the product is made. “We want consumers to appreciate what farmers go through to get food to the table. If farmers can tell that story through data, I think we can create a direct bridge,” Penmetsa said.

Monarch’s electric plow. Photo: CNN CNN channel (USA) said that the plow was programmed to perform the tasks of digging trenches and reaping and harvesting. Manufacturer Monarch says this electric plow can work for 10 consecutive hours after 5 hours of charging. Although there is no operator, but based on US regulations, the plow is designed to be operated remotely. Thus, the operator can remotely command the plow to stop working when necessary. The plow is also equipped with sensors to avoid collisions with livestock and works automatically next to farmers. Monarch claims that when these electric plows come to market, they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year, equivalent to the emissions of 14 gasoline-powered cars. In addition, this electric plow has the ability to collect data during operation, helping to provide information about crops and support for farmers to promptly handle arising problems such as lack of irrigation water. … Below is a video simulating the operation of the plow published by Monarch: Monarch expects to sell the first plow in the next two months to farmers in California, Washington and Oregon for an expected price of $50,000. These farmers will work with Monarch to perfect the electric device. Monarch expects to mass produce electric plows by the end of this year. According to Monarch, the electric plow can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in fuel and labor.

However, the ambition of some companies is too great, affecting the health of trainees. According to the Koreaboo , the idols below have revealed the truth about the harsh weight loss method they endured in order to have a chance to debut. 1. Eat controlled foods In the Ask Me Anything thread above Reddit , a former SM Entertainment trainee said the company never forced anyone to lose weight. However, she revealed that she has a very strict diet and all the trainees voluntarily follow it to increase their chances of debuting. The company sent controlled food portions to the trainees every day leaving them with no freedom to choose their meals. No desserts or snacks are offered. According to the trainee, she was advised by the company staff to lose weight to look taller and not consult a doctor or nutritionist about the diet. Seulgi (Red Velvet) once revealed that SM forbade her from eating fried chicken. Photo: Koreaboo, Reddit. 2. Run laps Two former trainees appeared on the channel AYO last year revealed the truth about this industry. Choi Ye Jin said she could not follow the strict diet that the company imposed to protect her health. After losing control of her eating, Ye Jin received a request to perform a weight check. Because her body weight was not within the allowable limit, the female trainee had to take the penalty of running 9 laps around the building. According to a former trainee, the ideal body shape is your height minus 120 to get the right weight. For example, a girl with a height of 1.61 m can only weigh 41 kg. The way to calculate the weight of entertainment companies in kimchi is BMI standard deviation. Photo: Koreaboo. 3. Food rations In the interview with BBC , Euodias – former trainee – revealed that people have to divide food portions to lose weight. Euodias explained that her company requires interns not to weigh more than 47 kg, regardless of age or height. According to BMI, anyone over 1.60 m tall would be considered undernourished at 47 kg. To force interns to keep their weight low, Euodias said the company will split food rations for anyone over 47 kg. They even took away the meal completely and those with substandard weight only drank water. After that, the interns often help others return to the dorms when they pass out due to lack of nutrition. The strict diet and water only if over 47 kg caused some trainees to fall unconscious. Photo: @euo.coeur. 4. Termination of the contract At some companies, severe penalties are imposed to keep trainees from gaining weight including threatening to terminate their contracts. Last year, former FNC Entertainment trainee – Cho Ah Young – appeared in the audition program CAP-TEEN of the Mnet . The female idol said that she was eliminated at the last minute for her debut with the group Cherry Bullet because of weight gain. Cho Ah Young shared that she started eating due to stress and after gaining weight, she felt disgusted with herself. Cho Ah Young could have debuted if her weight hadn’t exceeded the limit. Photo: Koreaboo. 5. Injection and electric shock In the interview with B uzzFeed News , Candidates Produce 101 – Kathy Lee – revealed that she was once tricked into taking weight loss pills at the age of 14 after the company took her to a hospital specializing in weight loss. However, that was not the harshest method she had to apply. After taking weight loss pills, Kathy Lee underwent carboxy therapy that included injecting carbon dioxide gas into the body to break down and filter fat, making it easier to lose weight. Next, she received electroconvulsive weight loss therapy. She said: “An electric current around the needle and creating a feeling of numbness.” Kathy Lee (blonde) has to go through many harsh weight loss processes. Photo: Koreaboo.

Virtual life and death! Recently on many travel forums, the story of a tourist posting photos of starfish dying dry due to being taken ashore to take pictures of “virtual life” in Rach Vem, Phu Quoc has attracted a lot of attention. Most of the comments are outraged by the ignorant actions of some young people that lead to the undue death of the marine species that is the symbol of this sea. Getting starfish ashore has become a “habit” of some tourists. On websites, many accounts constantly share check-in pictures of celebrities who use starfish as virtual living tools without knowing that just a few dozen seconds from the water surface, the starfish will die now. Prof. Dr. Do Cong Thung, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Marine Resources and Environment, said that starfish breathe through the legs and papillae (tiny particles spread all over the body). These tubular legs and papillae are equipped with a very thin layer of tissue, allowing gases to pass easily, whether inhaling oxygen (O2) or exhaling carbon dioxide (CO2), in a process known as is diffuse. Unlike fish with only two gills, the starfish is covered with papillae throughout the body. In other words, their “noses” or “gills” are scattered all over the body surface. When not in water, starfish not only cannot absorb the necessary oxygen. Therefore, they cannot remove carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide (CO) from the body. This leads to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide poisoning and causes death. Most starfish can only hold their breath for less than 30 seconds. Sea stars, sea cucumbers and corals, are naturally born with fragile, fragile creatures. Just a light touch can hurt them. The act of bringing them out of the water is a brutal act of killing this endemic aquatic species. “When taken out of the water, starfish will die within about a minute. The act of catching starfish out of the water to take pictures is very dangerous. It threatens the life of this species. Beaches with starfish need to give warnings, otherwise starfish species will be in danger of scarcity and extinction, losing the value of marine habitat “, Prof.Dr Do Cong Thung said. And Mr. Nguyen Linh Ngoc, a marine conservation expert in Phu Quoc, said that many tourists take starfish out of the water to take pictures, then drop them right away. But when left in the sun on the shore, they die quickly. Starfish have no economic value like sea cucumber or seahorse. Starfish are normal seafood objects. It is not an ecological indicator animal of little scientific value. It is a crustacean that no one eats because it doesn’t have meat. Tourists like mainly the shape it looks like a star. In terms of marine conservation, there is also no regulation prohibiting the exploitation of starfish because this species is not included in the conservation list. But starfish create beautiful scenery for the marine environment, attracting huge visitors. Therefore, the protection of starfish mainly depends on the awareness of visitors as well as reminders of the resorts. An important role in the ecosystem Vietnam has 60 different species of starfish distributed along the coast from North to South, Nha Trang Bay alone has discovered 20 species belonging to 16 genera, 11 families and 4 orders. In Cat Ba, Hai Phong, a starfish beach with an area of ​​up to 5 hectares is home to shallow trench starfish and deep-trench starfish with a high density of about 20 individuals / m2. Starfish food is fish, snails, clams, squid, shrimp and other molluscs. Some starfish species have the ability to turn their stomachs out to cover large foods and then digest themselves outside of their bodies. Vietnam has species such as starfish, blue starfish, pillow starfish, crunchy starfish … Each different species has a certain role, contributing to the general ecosystem, especially creating continuity in the chain. Food that once this food chain is destroyed will have a little or no impact on an entire ecosystem. Mr. Le Chien, Head of Sasa Marine Life Rescue Center, said that touching, holding, touching and catching starfish and sea creatures ashore is extremely offensive. It is being strongly condemned in many countries around the world. When people touch marine organisms, bacteria and chemicals from sunscreen, soap … on their hands can attack directly on their soft tissue. Organisms that have never been exposed and that do not have immune systems to bacteria from humans will be severely affected, even if they may not die immediately. In addition, starfish are only capable of sun exposure for a certain period of time, so bringing them ashore is extremely dangerous. In addition, not all marine life is harmless to humans. If you touch the wrong starfish species, people can be burned, shocked and killed. Not to mention there are many other toxic species such as snail. This job is also playing with their lives and loved ones. Prof.Dr Do Cong Thung said, starfish is a key species (keystone species) in the ecosystem. They are omnivores that feed mainly on scavengers, molluscs, small fish, algae or organic residues. There are more than 1,900 species of starfish around the world, living in all depths of the oceans. They play a very important role in the organic circulation, operating the ecosystem in which they exist. Therefore, the absence or degradation of starfish can lead to the collapse of the marine ecosystem.

When the reporter talked about the weight pressure at entertainment companies, Kathy said: “We have to measure the weight in front of a lot of male and female trainees and teachers. It’s really embarrassing.” She added that in order to lose weight to the lowest possible level, the trainees only wore tank tops and shorts. Kathy (blond) has to go through a severe weight loss process to have a slim body. Photo: Produce 101. On the first measurement, Kathy was said to be “overweight”. This means she has to go through a very severe weight loss process. At that time, Kathy only cared about the number on the scale but forgot her health. At times, she didn’t even eat anything but a small amount of chocolate. Kathy also often visits weight loss centers. Here, the trainee gets an injection. It was introduced to reduce appetite and boost metabolism. In addition, Kathy has also used carboxytherapy. This is a small procedure that involves pumping carbon dioxide gas into the body to break down and filter fat, making it easier to lose weight. “There’s one more method, but I don’t remember the name. They use electricity and needles and electrocute you,” she recalls. Meals of Produce 101 contestants. Photo: Mnet. Despite losing weight, Kathy said her health affected a lot. She felt tired and often dizzy. After that, in order to maintain her weight, Kathy continued to adhere to a strict diet. She eats yogurt for breakfast. Lunch includes cucumbers and tomatoes, sometimes with extra boiled eggs. During dinner, the former trainee ate a boiled egg with sweet potatoes.

Illustration. https://kinhtexaydung.petrotimes.vn The cost of pollution in Europe has risen by more than 50% this year, signaling that climate policies need to be harsher, the region is also starting to make a difference. Futures in the carbon market of Europe, the largest market in the world, exceeded $ 60 / ton for the first time on May 4. Rising prices make it more expensive to release carbon dioxide into the air and force the industry to look for cleaner ways to run production. According to Ulf Ek, investment director at London’s Northlander Commodity Advisors LLP, the bulls have to go further. He hopes the futures contract will trade as high as $ 91 / ton by the end of the year, to boost his incentive to protect the environment. The rise in prices and industry concerns about its competitiveness, poised to put further strain on political discussions about the implementation of the “Green Agreement,” aimed at achieving neutrality. on climate by 2050 and strengthening emissions reduction targets by 2030. Some technologies to cut emissions, such as hydrogen generated without pollution, are still too expensive for steel and chemical manufacturers. But further price hikes could change that. Record carbon prices in Europe will strengthen the Government budget. EU leaders are arguing about enacting stricter pollution targets over the next decade at an extraordinary summit in Brussels, to be held on May 23. On July 14, the European Commission will propose a regulatory package to enact a new goal, by 2030, to cut greenhouse gases by at least 55% from 1990 levels. Agree by national governments and the European Parliament to become the binding rule. https://kinhtexaydung.petrotimes.vn

Putting a potted plant in the living room helps the living space become more fresh, helping to bring more oxygen. However, not all feng shui plants are suitable for placing in the living room. The thing to note when choosing to place a feng shui bonsai in the living room is that you have to choose the kind of fortune tree. Besides, you also need to choose the tree that suits your destiny. 2. Indoor columns Ancient Chinese science held that columns were the factors that generate negative energy. The pillars in the house will not be good for the homeowner’s career no matter where that column is located. To neutralize evil air is not difficult, you just need to place a pot of ivy or shrub in front of the column. This way is both simple but also helps decorate the space more beautiful. 3 bedrooms Many people like to put plants in their bedroom but this is absolutely not recommended. At night, ornamental plants release carbon dioxide instead of oxygen. Meanwhile, humans need oxygen to breathe. If you go to bed in a room with many bonsai, it will be difficult to get a good night’s sleep due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, placing ornamental plants in the bedroom is not only bad for feng shui but also harmful to health. So in the bedroom it is best not to put any plants. 4. Kitchen room Feng shui thinks that the kitchen is where money flows in, so placing bonsai in the kitchen will create positive energy. Placing a high pot of bonsai in the corner of the kitchen is not only good for feng shui, but also helps purify the kitchen air – where there is a lot of grease. 5. Desk To maintain positive and good energy indoors, place your plants in the places where you value most, represent you and support you best. The desk is one of the most suitable positions. Put a pot of feng shui feng shui on the desk to help your work always be happy, career goes up. Take care of them healthy, everything will go well. According to the Reporter

Technician places the MOXIE device inside the Perseverance vessel in the laboratory in Pasadena, California, USA, March 2019. (Photo: AFP / VNA) After the Ingenuity mini helicopter made history by successfully making its first flight on another planet (Mars) a few days ago, the US Aviation and Space Agency’s Perseverance expedition ship ( NASA) continues to make a spectacular new mark when it first created oxygen on the “Red Planet.” NASA’s announcement on April 21 states that the Perseverance explorer has made history by successfully converting carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere into oxygen. This is the first time creating oxygen is done on another planet. “This is the first important step in converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen on Mars,” said Jim Reuter, NASA’s space technology mission executive vice president. The Mars experiment using local oxygen resources, called MOXIE, is a device the size of an automobile battery and is located inside, in front of the right side of the Perseverance. The device uses electrochemical methods to split carbon dioxide molecules, made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, and produces a carbon monoxide by-product. Manufactured by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MOXIE is made of a heat-resistant material like a nickel alloy and is designed to withstand extreme temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius. The device is coated with a thin layer of gold. so as not to radiate heat and harm the Perseverance vessel. On the first test run, MOXIE generated 5.4 grams of oxygen – enough for an astronaut to breathe easily for 10 minutes while still performing normal activities. Engineers will conduct more tests and find ways to increase oxygen production. By design, MOXIE can generate 10 grams of oxygen per hour. “MOXIE has a lot to do, but the results from this technology demonstration are promising as we move towards our goal of one day seeing humans on Mars,” said Jim Reuter. Tests for MOXIE will be divided into three phases. The first stage is to test and characterize the equipment. Stage two will evaluate the performance of MOXIE under a variety of atmospheric conditions. In the final phase, researchers will step up the operation of the equipment, which includes testing new operating modes or adding functionality. NASA expects the development of experimental instruments not only to help generate oxygen for astronauts in the future, but also to help generate large amounts of oxygen to be used as rocket launchers for the return journey. Not transported from Earth. According to MIT engineer Michael Hecht, a one-ton version of MOXIE can generate about 25 tons of oxygen needed for a rocket to take off from Mars. Production of oxygen from the atmosphere is 96% carbon dioxide’s Mars It may be a more viable option than extracting subsurface magnetic ice and electrolysis to produce oxygen. Ms. Trudy Kortes – Technology Demonstration Director NASA “MOXIE is not only the first instrument of oxygen production in another world, but the first technology of its kind that helps future missions use elements of another world environment, also known as on-premises resource use. ” Expedition ship Perseverance landed on Mars on February 18, on a mission to search for signs of microbial life on the “Red Planet.” In the coming years, the Perseverance ship aims to collect 30 soil and rock samples to send back to Earth (estimated around 2030) for analysis.

Submarine KRI Nanggala-402. Choking because of CO2 CNA quoted Mr. Clark – a naval expert – who used to be a submarine sailor – as CO2 accumulating in the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine can suffocate the crew even if they have not exhausted oxygen. “CO2 needs to be filtered out of the atmosphere with a chemical. But this chemical will soon run out. Oxygen can be produced by chemical candles. But CO2 will suffocate the crew before running out of oxygen. ” The power outage also affects the crew’s lifetime, Clark said. Electricity is needed to operate the CO2 absorber and the fan transfers air through the oxygen candle. The Indonesian lifeboat joins the search for the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine. Photo: AP Why the submarine lost power? Underwater submarines often depend on battery power, Clark said. And a breakdown in the battery compartment such as fire, explosion, flooding, etc. can cause a power failure. Meanwhile, Mr. Ben Ho – naval analyst said that a torpedo explosion could also cause the submarine to lose power. “Historically, major submarine accidents have often occurred due to technical problems or weapon explosions. Indonesian submarines went missing while torpedo shooting exercises. Maybe a torpedo exploded, ”said Mr. Ben Ho. Oil spills at the location where the submarine went down on the morning of April 21. Photo: AP Submarine locator If the submarine is intact, it can be “relatively easy” to be located using sensors, Clark said. Magnetic sensors, similar to mine detection systems, can detect the steel hull of a submarine. Sound sensors can show the sound from submarines. “But the area they need to look for is relatively large. The sensors can only be effective in a small area. Searching can take a long time. ” Mr. Ben Ho, meanwhile, said that even modern sonar equipment can hardly detect the wreck of a submarine if the seabed is rough. “The submarine’s nature is inherently difficult to detect. Submarine fleets are often referred to as silent soldiers, ”said Ho. If the submarine is truly trapped at a depth of 600 meters or less, the crew has a “near zero chance of survival,” said Ho. “The grim reality is that once the submarine exceeds its maximum depth, it will explode due to the enormous water pressure.” If this happens, the explosion will be picked up by a sensor in a nearby area, he added. Rescue process Once the submarine is found, Singapore’s MV Swift Rescue can begin its mission. MV Swift Rescue is the first ship in Southeast Asia capable of rescuing submarines. Singapore’s MV Swift Rescue train. Photo: Facebook The ship can operate at sea for four weeks before needing refueling. On board is a rescue cabin named Deep Search and Rescue Six (DSAR 6). Cabin is used to evacuate crew from submarines. However, Mr. Clark warned that the biggest challenge is the lying direction of the submarine in distress. “For example, if the submarine is on its side, the DSAR 6 will be difficult to reach.” Cabin DSAR 6. Photo: Facebook According to the naval news site Naval Technology DSAR 6 is 9.6m long and can reach a depth of 500m. It is operated by two crew members and can accommodate up to 17 people. When the DSAR 6 floats to the surface and is recovered by MV Swift Rescue, the submarine crew will be transferred to a recovery chamber for treatment. The cabin can accommodate up to 40 people. Singapore and Indonesia signed a cooperation agreement to assist with submarine rescue in 2012. The agreement allows the two countries to send resources and help each other if their submarines crash. The KRI Nanggala-402 submarine went missing on the morning of April 21 while participating in a torpedo drill near Bali. On board there are 53 people, including 49 sailors, a commander and three weapons specialists. The 1,395-ton KRI Nanggala-402 was built in Germany in 1977, and joined the Indonesian fleet in 1981. About 40 countries in the world have submarines, but only a few countries have the ability to rescue submarines.

Berkeley Lab is pursuing negative emission technologies and related research to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. According to Jeffrey Long, senior scientist in the Berkeley Laboratory’s Materials Science Department, UC Berkeley Professor of Chemistry, MOFs are highly porous solid materials that act like a sponge. They are capable of absorbing large amounts of a specific gas molecule, like CO2. A special feature of MOFs is its high internal surface area. Therefore, if properly designed, a small amount of MOF can remove large amounts of CO2 from the flue gases produced during the burning of fossil fuels. “We have shown that MOFs can capture and release CO2, using a much smaller temperature change than is required by other technologies. This offers a great advantage over conventional methods of CO2 capture. Variations of MOF can be effective in removing CO2 from other gas mixtures, including biogas, natural gas and even directly from the air, ”explained Mr. Long. However, this expert emphasized, reducing the cost of direct gas collection is essential, because this process is extremely expensive. The cost of removing CO2 with such a technology is at 500 – 1,000 USD / ton. Therefore, Mr. Long said that in the future, researchers will create more efficient materials. As a result, it helps to reduce costs below 100 USD / ton. Besides, the main issue is the amount of energy required to regenerate the adsorbent. This means that the scientists want to release CO2 in its pure form. As a result, the material can then be reused to capture more CO2. “One of our research goals is to develop materials with high capacity, high capture rate, fast kinetics for CO2 adsorption and low regeneration temperature. At the same time, limit the co-adsorption of water so as not to waste energy on the desorption process “, Mr. Long said. According to the scientist, it is possible to find a way to achieve below $ 100 for each ton of CO2 removed from the air. However, scientists will have to do much of the research needed to achieve that. “We need to really rethink some of the ways materials are designed and understand how to manipulate things like delta-S (entropy) to adsorb CO2, so that less heat is needed to release CO2,” Mr. Long stressed.

Illustration of lightning hitting Earth 4 billion years ago.

However, according to geologists, lightning strikes are just as important as meteorites to create perfect conditions for life on Earth.

Scientists believe that the minimum amount of minerals present on early Earth was caused by billions of lightning strikes.

Detect important minerals

A study published in Nature Communications led by scientist Benjamin Hess of the School of Earth and Environment, at the University of Leeds (UK) looked at the possibility that lightning could contribute to life.

The scientists found that life could develop on Earth-like planets through the same mechanism at any time if the atmospheric conditions were right.

Hess et al. Studied an exceptionally large and primitive fulgurite sample. This is a rock created when lightning strikes the ground. This model was formed when lightning struck a house in Glen Ellyn, Illinois (USA) in 2016 and donated to the Geology department at the nearby Wheaton College.

The Leeds researchers were initially interested in how fulgurite was formed, but were later intrigued when they discovered that there was an unusual amount of a phosphorus mineral called schreibersite in the sample at Glen Ellyn.

Phosphorus is essential for life and plays an important role in all life processes from movement to growth and reproduction. Phosphorus has been present on Earth since infancy and is in minerals that cannot be dissolved in water, however, schreibersite can.

Mr. Hess is a graduate student at Yale University, Connecticut (USA), said, “Many people believe that life on Earth originates from shallow surface waters according to the famous” small warm pond “concept of the house. Darwin Science ”.

“Most models of how life might form on the Earth’s surface show that meteors carry small amounts of schreibersite.

Our research found a relatively large amount of shreibersite in fulgurite “- he said -” Lightning hits the Earth regularly, which proves that phosphorus is necessary for the origin of life on the Earth’s surface not only. rely on asteroid collisions.

Perhaps more importantly, this also means that the formation of life on another Earth could still take place long after meteoric collisions became rare.

The phosphorus minerals produced by the lightning bolts exceeded those from meteorites when Earth was about 3.5 billion years old (the age of the earliest known microscopic fossils), the team estimated. That underscores the importance of lightning to life on Earth.

Furthermore, lightning bolts are much less destructive than meteorite collisions, meaning they are less likely to interfere with fragile evolutionary paths in which life can
develope.

The fulgurite was excavated in Glen Ellyn, Illinois (USA).

The role of lightning quantity

Lightning is also a topic of interest to scientists when thinking about life on Earth in the early days because it leads to the production of gases like nitrous oxide that played a role in the origin of life. .

Hess and his other researchers used this existing research to investigate and review the rate of lightning strikes on early Earth. Today, we have 560 million lightning strikes a year.

Meanwhile, early Earth, this number was from 1 to 5 billion per year, of which 100 million to 1 billion lightning strikes the ground. Over a billion years, lightning strikes can reach 1 trillion and generate a lot of phosphorus.

In the early days, lightning struck more on Earth because there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to global temperatures and the higher the temperature, the more intense and frequent the storms are, Hess said.

“Carbon dioxide levels soared on Earth early after a Mars-sized object crashed into Earth and created the Moon 4.5 billion years ago. This also releases a lot of gas from inside the Earth, like carbon dioxide, which then gets trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere and leads to more lightning, ”explained Hess.

The fulgurite fragment is found in Glen Ellyn, Illinois (USA).

Expert review

Dr., Associate Professor of Geochemistry Jason Harvey and Professor of Geology and Structural Construction Sandra Piazolo at Leeds University’s School of Earth and Environment advised Mr. Hess on the above research project.

“The initial meteor bombardment was a one-time event in the Solar System,” said Dr. Harvey. When the planets reach their mass, the additional distribution of phosphorus from the meteorites becomes negligible.

On the other hand, lightning is not a one-off event, the elements necessary for the formation of life can thus be transferred to the surface of a planet. This means that life can appear on Earth-like planets at any given time.

Meanwhile, Professor Piazolo said: “The above interesting research opens the door to some future paths when searching for and analyzing in depth new fulgurite in the early Earth-like environment, analyzing The effect of heating on other minerals is to realize similar characteristics.

There is also a further analysis of this particularly well preserved fulgurite to determine the extent of the physical and chemical processes within it ”.

“All these studies will help to improve our understanding of the importance of fulgurite in changing the chemical environment of the Earth over time” – Professor Piazolo added.

Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environmental, policy and social affairs, said, “By establishing a fund that can generate financial returns and have a real and measurable carbon impact, we aim to promote more far-reaching changes in the future and encourage global Invest in carbon removal within the country. We hope that others will join us and contribute their resources to support and protect the vital ecosystem.”

This move is part of Apple’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality across the entire value chain by 2030. The company will directly reduce 75% of carbon emissions in the supply chain and products by 2030, and the remaining 25% of carbon emissions will be solved by this fund by removing carbon from the atmosphere. Trees absorb carbon as they grow. Researchers estimate that although deforestation continues, tropical forests absorb more carbon than humans have emitted from burning coal, oil, and natural gas in the past 30 years. This cooperation aims to expand the scale by attracting more companies to participate, so as to give full play to the potential of this natural solution.

In order to ensure accurate quantification of the carbon stored in forests and to prevent it from entering the atmosphere again, the Restore Fund will use international standards developed by well-known organizations such as Verra, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. standard. The fund will give priority to productive forests, which can improve biodiversity by establishing buffer zones and natural reserve areas.

As a cooperative investor of the fund, Conservation International will ensure that the project meets strict environmental and social standards. The fund will be managed by Goldman Sachs. The three parties will finalize the new project later this year.

Dina Powell, Global Head of Sustainability and Inclusive Growth at Goldman Sachs, said, “We all agree that given the urgent climate change situation, private capital needs to be added to existing and newly launched response measures, and to adopt sustainable and high-standard We believe that the launch of this fund can promote a large number of other investment capital to join the ranks of climate change.”

Divorce from her parents, Ayaka has lived with her maternal grandparents since childhood. Grandparents love her so much that she tries her best to meet her needs. Ayaka was eaten so much that when she was in elementary school, she had grown up to 90kg. She gets to eat a lot of fried foods, snacks, and juices.

Ayaka used to weigh up to 116kg.

When she was growing up, Ayaka’s mother used to send her a dress and she couldn’t wear it either. She also felt hesitant to squeeze into the elevator. During an elevator ride, an elderly person even misunderstood that Ayaka was pregnant and gave way to her.

This made her feel very disappointed. Until one day, her family members reunited, Ayaka broke a chair. Everyone realized she was obese. Because of the little girl’s health, they encouraged her to start losing weight.

Finally, with perseverance and perseverance, Ayaka has reduced her weight from 116kg to 49kg. In addition to the huge change in physique, she was able to wear the dress that her mother bought her. Here are 4 golden tips to help her lose weight so obediently.

Only eat 1 cheese bar in the morning

To lose weight effectively, Ayaka only eat 1 cheese bar in the morning. Cheese can increase a feeling of fullness rich in protein. When choosing cheeses for weight loss, choose low-fat, low-fat, original flavored cheeses.

Only eat 1 cheese bar at noon

At lunch, Ayaka usually eats a cheese bar. She tore the cheese bar into long strands and chewed it slowly.

Drink sugar-free soda when hungry

When hungry, Ayaka usually drinks a cup of unsweetened soda. Because the carbon dioxide in soda water can make you feel full and reduce your food intake.

Walk four hours a day

For those who do not like intense exercise, walking is the most useful way to lose weight. Ayaka walking for more than half an hour a day can effectively burn calories and lose weight.

What is water?

Soda is a beverage that typically contains saturated carbon dioxide water, a sweetener, and is often flavored. Some other carbonated soft drinks also contain caffeine, colorants, preservatives and other ingredients.

Soda is considered a vitamin and mineral supplement, widely marketed for improvements in human dehydration, lack of energy and mental fatigue.

The ingredients are in boiling water

– The most basic material of water is water, usually purified water with different levels depending on water treatment technology and equipment. If not, the product will be cloudy, sedimented, and contaminated with microorganisms.

– Sugar or sweetener is often called “folk” as a chemical sugar. They are also nothing to replace in manufacturing products for people with a history of diabetes.

– Flavors: most soft drinks have artificial flavors with different levels to create a natural-like aroma, creating a pleasant feeling. There are two levels: used for industrial production and used to produce in food.

Illustration.

Food coloring is a must for soda manufacturers. It helps the beverage to have a beautiful color and appeal to the eyes of consumers more.

Preservatives are necessary in every beverage bottle because soft drinks contain sugar and some potentially spoiled nutrients. The preservative will prolong the shelf life of the product. However, they are only allowed in a certain amount.

– Finally, there may or may not be C02. C02 carbonated soft drinks are easy to feel when drinking, but for many people, especially those with problems with the digestive system, this substance can cause unpleasant satiety or some harm.

Drink soft drinks to help quench your thirst

Soda or carbonated soft drinks are drinks that are quite popular on hot summer days. Many people like to drink carbonated soft drinks because it helps to cool down quickly and refreshes the drinker immediately.

However, according to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Xuan Ninh, Head of the Clinic of Nutrition, Institute of Medicine that applies the refreshing feeling of carbonated soft drinks is only instantaneous and it will quickly cause thirst. later.

To explain more about this, this expert said that the feeling of thirst after drinking carbonated soft drinks is because the carbonated soft drinks contain CO2 and water (H2O), these two substances when entering the body will create. a reaction together produces a weak carbonic acid.

“Carbonic acid can stimulate the taste receptors in the mouth, plus the use of water when cold will bring a feeling of refreshing, quenching.” In fact, carbonated soft drinks can only quench your thirst. Just a few minutes after drinking carbonated soft drinks will cause more thirst. The reason is that the sugar in carbonated soft drinks is high and the sugar is quickly absorbed. High blood sugar, the brain will signal to trigger a feeling of thirst and notify that you need to drink water to bring the blood back to a normal state ”, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Xuan Ninh.

Misuse of carbonated beverages is potentially dangerous

Carbonated soft drinks provide fast energy, but the main energy is empty energy that is not beneficial for the body, young children drink too much carbonated soft drinks can lead to excess energy, obesity. Children who drink a lot of carbonated soft drinks will lead to a lack of nutrients because they will reduce other healthy drinks for example (milk, juice).

Associate Professor, Dr. Ninh recommends: “In carbonated soft drinks, which contain a certain amount of caffeine, when children drink a lot, they will cause central nervous system stimulation. Too much caffeine can cause the following conditions (in both adults and children): restlessness, upset stomach, headache, difficulty concentrating, difficulty sleeping, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, loss of urination ” .

Carbonated soft drinks contain a lot of phosphorus if used too much, leading to an excess of phosphorus. Excess phosphorus will affect the absorption of iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Phosphorus poisoning leads to diarrhea, hardening of organs and soft tissues, increasing the risk of chronic bone, kidney and cardiovascular diseases.

Associate Professor, Dr. Ninh said that to use good carbonated soft drinks for the body for adults, do not drink more than 3 cans / week, children 1 can / week, children under 2 years old do not drink sugary drinks. If you want to drink in the summer, you can choose other healthier drinks such as water or juice. For water, you can add a few slices of lemon or mint leaves for more flavor.

Drink beverages properly and effectively

Here are some tips for quitting your habit and reducing your risk of the negative effects described above.

Don’t give up right away

If you are drinking more than one can per day, it will be nearly impossible to quit immediately. Instead, cut in half and gradually reduce your intake over the course of 2-4 weeks.

Replace your favorite drink

Readers try to replace soft drinks with another drink that does not contain sugar or sweeteners. For example, try herbal tea, mineral water squeezed with a piece of fresh lemon, or a glass of milk to quench your thirst.

Change the habit

Does your daily walk to the office walk by the beverage vending machine? If so, change the route. Trying to avoid looking at cans is impractical in the long run, but you can still use this strategy temporarily to avoid temptation.
