Birds and fish have the innate ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field, contributing to their impressive migratory abilities. A type of photoreceptor called ‘cryptochromes’ is said to enable this receptiveness to magnetic fields. Human cells also contain cryptochromes and – as this discovery shows – we also react to the Earth’s magnetism. Whilst we may not ‘see’ waves of magnetism, scientists in Tokyo have shown that our cells, when made artifically fluorescent, will dim when exposed to magnetic fields. Read full article here

Electrical Muscle Stimulation Takes The Work Out Of Your Workouts
Growing stronger and losing weight without putting in the effort seems like a fairytale, right? Electrical muscle stimulation might make the dream come true. During EMS, a full-body suit sends out electric charges that stimulate your muscles as if you’ve actually worked out. Older people, in particular, are reaping the benefits. Since they can’t do traditional strength training anymore, EMS is a viable alternative that keeps them healthy and strong. Some evidence suggests that the benefits go beyond strength training; EMS seems to promote cell growth and slow down the ageing process! Read full article here
