Weird Things I Didn't Know Before

Goodmorning Beautiful Friends,

It has been so cold and boring here. Not much to do except read. I've have read so many weird interesting things lately.
So read them and tell me, did you know any of these?

Where does fat go when you lose weight? We breathe it out 👀 I read this and thought that sounded crazy, but it's true.

Despite society's obsession with weight loss, a study has revealed that, surprisingly, most health professionals don't actually know what happens to fat when we "lose it".
The research conducted by a team of Australian researchers back in 2013 calculated exactly what happens to our fat when we shed kilos, and revealed that doctor's leading theories are wrong - we don't convert our missing mass into heat or energy. We actually breathe it out.

This one is really out there. Did you know that dolphins can help women have a painless childbirth? Sounds crazy right? The dolphins have some kind of advanced sonar that sends waves and allows women to give birth pain free. There is a lot of controversy regarding this, but there are many people that really believe in it.

Years ago I was on the Gulf Coast right at dusk. A mom dad and baby dolphin swam near me. The proud parent dolphins flanked their baby and were showing it off to me. It was one of the most magical moments in my entire life. They are amazing beings that I don't think we fully understand.

Lastly, here is one I've known about, but never knew why. Now more research is starting to prove. Washing your hair every day actually helps you not lose hair and possibly prevents hair loss! I have washed my hair every day for as long as I can remember. I have tons and tons of hair. Yes I know some of that is genetic.
So here's what is being said about it now. Hair sebum contains testosterone that converts to DHT and can cause male pattern baldness, and by washing it off of the scalp you can prevent hair loss because that testosterone sends signals to the scalp/folicale and can be damaging.

Did you know any of those things, and what have you read lately that has blown your mind?

I don't know about the hair loss one. I wash what's left of my hair everyday. I've also heard that shampoo can thin your hair out as well.

My husband can attest to the fact that daily hair washing will NOT prevent baldness, though that may be the case for non-hereditary hair loss.

I'd say ask DB but we all know where this joke is going.

I have known about the weight loss thing for quite a while. The second one about dolphins I have never heard of, but yes, it is possible it could be true.

The third one is not totally true, it depends on the shampoo you use. The chemicals in shampoo can cause lots of health problems because they are taken into the body through the skin. Some are harmless others are not. Along with washing away the testosterone you wash away the human squalene which protects our skin and body from disease, the more you wash it, the more it draws more to the skin to protect it, then it causes a deficiency where it is needed to fight disease. So it is a double edge sword, good or bad cannot just be determined by hair loss. But if you are more concerned about your hair than your health, then go for it. Washing your hair with just water is good though, although that chloride and fluoride is not good either. Sebum is there for a reason, it is there to protect our skin from infection. My daughter went on the water only washing of her hair for a while and still only uses soap maybe twice a week, when she had quit the soap the health of her hair got lots better and it got way thicker and it started to have lots of new growth. So I would have to say it depends on the shampoo you use because some shampoos do cause more hairloss than others. Remember what hair is made of....chemistry that can be destroyed by certain soaps.

So the third part is conditional, I have way more hair than my brother does, and he washes his hair in the shower every day, I take a shower when needed, most times I take three a week but if I get all sweaty doing work I take one a minimum of once a day, sometimes I shower two times a day, but one time is just rinsing off usually if I just get dusty or am sweaty. Constantly washing with soap also thins skin too, It also opens the pores so your skin breathes more and excretes the metabolics of the fat burning, carbon dioxide is not just excreted by the lungs from breakdown of fat.

I have above average sense of smell/taste. When I was pregnant it was 10000x more magnified. I remember almost every single shampoo and soap in the house smelled like pure chemicals. The only single one that was tolerable was Burts Bee’s. The second most chemical smelling thing to me was Gatorade! Had a very peppery chemical scent.

The sense of smell for me is so strong the when I go to a restaurant and get a soda I can tell if the machine has mold. I can smell/taste it. Some places are a lot better at cleaning the soda machines. The absolute worst are those water dispensers in offices. I have yet to see/smell one that does not have mold.
