Every crystal you find has mineral structure. For some, this structure corresponds to sacred geometry, determining how the crystal functions with a specific type of energy. These structures are distinct from tetragonal, hexagonal, trigonal, triclinic, or monoclinic structures. Each of these has inner structures that have been observed to reverberate throughout nature and within your body. Hexagonal crystals, for example, are known to be the most powerful healers, whereas cubic and isometric minerals are good conductors of energy. It is best if you become more acquainted with this before purchasing some of these crystals.

Niacinamide is not the same as niacin, despite their names being similar. B-3 comes in two separate varieties. However, the niacin supplements you've taken can help your body create niacinamide. This occurs when the body has an excessive amount of niacin. Niacinamide can also be created by the body from tryptophan.

Fine arts contests were conducted in the Olympic Games from 1912 until 1948. Medals were awarded in the fields of literature, architecture, sculpture, painting, and music. The art that was made had to be Olympic-themed, of course.

Elephants are extremely clever and simple to teach, making them ideal for use as executioners and torturers. They may be taught to use enormous blades connected to their tusks to slowly destroy bones, crush skulls, twist off limbs, or even execute people. This manner of death was still used in various regions of Asia until the late nineteenth century.

People used to eat arsenic to improve their skin. You've probably heard about how arsenic was found in many of the Victorians' favourite cosmetics, but it gets worse. There were also edible products on the market in the late 1800s, such as Dr. James P. Campbell's Safe Arsenic Complexion Wafers. They advertised that they could remove freckles, blackheads, and other "facial disfigurements." That has to be one of the most intriguing facts you've learned in a long time.

Because of Halloween, the candy industry in America earns an average of $2 billion per year (that's 90 million pounds of chocolate).

If you already knew everything about butterflies up to this point, this information may come as a surprise. However, from the perspective of the butterfly, it isn't all that unusual. A butterfly's everyday duties include eating and mating, both of which necessitate landing, even if only temporarily. When food is a priority, those taste receptors assist the butterfly in locating the appropriate plants and vital nutrients for survival. Many people wonder what it means when a butterfly lands on them, but the truth is that it is most likely just hungry.

The owners of Swiggy have not indicated any desire to file an IPO and take the company public. The funding that it currently receives from its venture capital investors is more than enough to fully fund all of Swiggy’s expansion efforts. Swiggy may remain one of India’s largest privately-owned companies as there is no need for it to offer shares on the public stock exchange markets. We fully expect to see Swiggy continue to grow and expand throughout India, and perhaps other parts of the world in the years to come.

One of the few fruits with balanced potassium-to-sodium content is the custard apple. It aids in controlling and regulating the body's fluctuations in blood pressure. The fruit's high magnesium content relaxes the smooth heart muscles, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The Carolingian Empire was a European empire that included what is now France, Italy, and the Netherlands. It also covered sections of Austria, Spain, and the majority of Germany. The name derives from its founder, Charles the Great, or Charlemagne as he is more popularly known. Charlemagne destroyed the Frisians in what is now the Netherlands and the Saxons in Northern Germany throughout his conquests. Both the Frisians and the Saxons were Viking adversaries who had previously kept them in check. As the Carolingian Empire fell following Charlemagne's death, the now-unchecked Vikings exploited Europe's vulnerability.

Over 60 million tonnes of coconuts were produced worldwide in 2016. Indonesia, the Philippines, and India are the top coconut producers.

It was a widely held assumption up until about three decades ago, in the 1980s, that stress increased the development of acidic liquids in the stomach and led to ulcers. While arguing that stress can contribute to and exacerbate gastric ulcer symptoms, recent research contradicts this theory and shows that the Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, bacterium is present in over 90% of cases. Its presence can be detected using a stool, blood, or breath test, and antibiotics work well to treat it.

The first Jane Austen fan fiction was written in an 1823 letter to the editor of The Lady's Magazine, in which Austen appeared as a character. The letter writer claims to want to know more about being a successful writer and consults Jane Austen's ghost for advice. Harvard University owns the first Austen dissertation, "Jane Austen's Novels," which was published in 1883 by George Pellew.

Wilfred Rhodes was the most famous cricketer in England. He made his 58th and final appearance on April 12, 1930, at the age of 51. Isn't this incredible? Brian Close, England's youngest cricket player at the age of 17, is a fascinating fact about the game. That is obviously off the record. The youngest cricketer of his generation hasn't played in almost a century.

Because relics of the clay oven called a Tandoor, which was used to cook the chicken, were found during an excavation, historians and archaeologists now think that the genesis of the Tandoori Chicken occurred during the Harappa Civilization. Tandoori chicken's origins can thus be traced to the Harappan Civilization, though the Punjabi people of Pakistan are responsible for its redistribution. Who would have thought that our ancestors would have had as much luck as to have what we are having now when eating the Tandoori chicken with green chutney from your favourite restaurant.

So why doesn’t it burn your stomach? Because a thick layer of mucus protects the stomach lining and keeps the acid on the inside, where it’s churned with your food.

When gastric acid sometimes leaks up into the esophagus, which lacks this mucus layer, you know that burning feeling as heartburn. Proton pump inhibitors are drugs you can take to temporarily reduce acid production and allow the esophagus to heal.
