The Male Body vs The Female Body

1. Women might actually be the stronger sex. A report called The Fragile Male

2. Men are believed to have a higher pain threshold. While some believe that women are hard-wired with a greater ability to handle pain in order to allow them to bear children, studies (such as those involving men and women submerging their arms in icy cold water and measuring how long they can withstand the pain) have suggested that men can tolerate a greater level of pain.

3. Women have stronger immune systems

4. The muscles in a woman's heart are typically less elastic

5. The male and female bodies process drugs differently.

6. We eat differently, especially when influenced by society's definition of ideal body image.

7. The bile in a woman's liver is different

8. Food typically takes longer to pass through a woman's digestive tract

9. A woman's skin is more likely to become wrinkled than a man's. (Source)

10. On a man's hand, the fourth finger is typically longer than the second.

Simple Trick to Help Your Memory by Moving Your Eyes

Moving your eyes horizontally, from side-to-side, for about 30 seconds may be all it takes to give your memory a boost, according to researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University in England.

After hearing a list of words, the study found that those who moved their eyes side-to-side for 30 seconds correctly remembered more than 10 percent more words, and falsely recognized about 15 percent fewer "lure" words, compared to those who moved their eyes up and down or did nothing.

Why would moving your eyes influence your memory?

The researchers suspect it's because the horizontal eye movements cause the two hemispheres of the brain to interact more, and communication between the left and right brain hemispheres is known to help us remember certain things.
