ANIMALS -THE GREAT WHITE SHARK

The white shark, commonly called the great white shark, is one of the most iconic and feared creatures of the ocean. With its razor-sharp teeth and menacing appearance, it certainly looks dangerous. But the more we learn about this creature, the more we learn they are not indiscriminate predators, and definitely don't prefer humans as prey. Great white sharks are relatively large, although likely not as large as they might be in our imagination.   T he largest shark species is a plankton eater, the whale shark. Great whites average about 10-15 feet in length, and their maximum size is estimated at a length of 20 feet and weight of 4,200 pounds. Females are generally larger than males. They have a stout body, black eye, a steel gray back and a white underside.  Great white sharks are widely distributed across the world's oceans.

VEGETABLES THAT ARE MORE GOOD WHEN COOKED

Eating vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. They  are the  source of phytochemicals. These chemical compounds provide antioxidant properties, according to chronic research. Antioxidants are powerful substances stabilizing free radicals (cell-destroying atoms) in our body and helpful in disease prevention. Because of this benefit, consuming vegetables is linked to decreased incidence of cancer, heart disease, and degenerative illness. It has been said eating raw vegetables provides the best nutrients. While this may be the case for most veggies, cooking actually increases nutrient value in some vegetables. There appears to be positive and negative feedback in current research with how veggies are prepared. According to an article published in the  Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry,  “many protective compounds are enhanced when vegetables are cooked.” Tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots are three vegetables shown to have improved...

BENEFITS OF ANTIOXIDENTS

Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells in your body from free radical damage that can occur from exposure to certain chemicals, smoking, pollution, radiation, and as a byproduct of normal metabolism. Dietary antioxidants include selenium, vitamin A and related carotenoids, vitamins C and E, plus various phytochemicals such as lycopene, lutein, and quercetin.   There are large amounts of antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and smaller amounts of antioxidants in meats, poultry, and fish. Junk foods, such as highly processed fast foods tend to be much lower in antioxidants. No surprise. Health Benefits of Antioxidants Consuming foods rich in antioxidants may be good for your heart health and may also help to lower your risk of infections and some forms of cancer.

Although it has an elongated body like an eel, the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is actually a type of knifefish.   The electric eel was first described by Linnaeus in 1766 and since then, has been reclassified several times. At present, the electric eel is the only species in its genus. It is only found in muddy, shallow waters surrounding the Amazon and Orinoco rivers in South America.   Electric eels have cylindrical bodies, up to 2 meters (about 8 feet) in length. An adult may weigh 20 kilograms (44 pounds), with males being much smaller than females. They come in a range of colors, including purple, gray, blue, black, or white.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Cells of the immune system, known as white blood cells, are found in our bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, and in the liver of embryos. When microorganisms, such as bacteria or viruses invade the body, non-specific defense mechanisms provide the first line of defense. Innate Immune System The innate immune system is a non-specific response that includes primary deterrents. These deterrents ensure protection against numerous germs and parasitic pathogens (fungi, nematodes, etc.). There are physical deterrents (skin and nasal hairs), chemical deterrents (enzymes found in perspiration and saliva), and inflammatory reactions (initiated by immune cells). These particular mechanisms are named appropriately because their responses are not specific to any particular pathogen. Think of these as a perimeter alarm system in a house. No matter who trips the motion detectors, the alarm will sound. White blood cells involve...
