According to World Tourism Organization statistics, Mexico has the greatest number of international tourists in Latin America and is rated #10 in the world. This is unsurprising considering the variety of culture and environment on offer in Mexico. UNESCO has designated 32 places in the nation as World Cultural Heritage sites. Mexico tops the American continent in this area once more, and is ranked sixth overall.

During the first year of being in a romance, a protein in our cells called Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) that is vital for the functions of particular sympathetic and sensory nerve cells, appears to thrive. During youthful love, our senses are heightened, and our fight or flight reaction system is activated.

Robin Dunbar, a psychologist and the director of Oxford University's Social and Evolutionary Neuroscience research department, believes that every guy should spend at least two hours a week with 4-5 buddies. They can use this time any way they choose, from sports to going to bars. According to Dunbar, guys with faithful friends are less likely to be sad and have a better immune system.

Boys, more than girls, are more likely than girls to learn many lessons through experience rather than being told. This can make parenting them difficult, especially if you don't enjoy taking risks yourself. The most difficult challenge may be keeping them safe, so some risks must be avoided. It can also be difficult to be a support person as a parent when the lessons that boys learn bring hardship and tears.

Asakusa is a must-see, with its charming streets (and even the metro station) adorned with these beautiful paintings depicting Japanese history. The thick but aesthetically unified murals exude a cultural vibe while fulfilling two functions: art and storytelling. In Asakusa, you can also buy unusual foods and souvenirs and watch cooks produce street delicacies via glass windows. Visit the iconic Kaminarimon temple, albeit you may have to compete with other eager tourists!

Your brain is working on problem solving and learning skills while you sleep. If you're learning a new skill or studying new information, getting enough sleep and having dreams can help you learn faster.

You may or may not be aware that love can result in strong infatuation. The same serotonin levels reported in persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder, an anxiety disorder, are found in those with infatuation. This is most likely why you can't seem to think of anyone else while you're in love.

According to University of California researchers, we spend 30% of our time daydreaming every day. This proportion can go as high as 70% at times (for example, during long travels), but there's nothing wrong with it. According to studies, those who enjoy floating in the clouds are more creative. They're also superior at problem-solving and stress relief.

This occurred while he was shooting "127 Hours." According to legend, Franco enrolled in an NYU acting class where the teacher gave him a "D." He was working 127 hours at the time. Another aspect of this incident is that the professor was eventually sacked for assigning a "D" grade to Franco's paper.

If you want to do something creative, such as write a short story or design a dress, do it after a long and stressful day. This is because studies have shown that when people's brains aren't functioning as well as they should, they become more creative. This is one of the main reasons why people frequently come up with brilliant ideas while taking a shower after a long day at work.

Do you consider all of your decisions, weighing all of your options and calculating the impact of each outcome? You may believe you are, but you are incorrect. The majority of your decisions are made subconsciously because your conscious mind would be overwhelmed with information and you would likely become mentally frozen. This is because your brain receives over 11 million bits of information every second, and there simply isn't enough "brainpower" to process it all consciously.

Another fascinating truth about Russia is that Russians, in general, have a lot of superstitions and customs. One of the most prevalent customs is to gift flowers only in odd numbers. Many Russians think that an odd amount of flowers should only be used in graves. If you gift an even amount of flowers to a Russian, they will take it personally. In addition to not giving away an even amount of flowers, Russians believe that clothing should not be worn inside out. The Russians think that if you put your clothing on inside out, you will be defeated.

People who have a full bladder are more convincing liars. A strong urge to use the restroom causes a person to focus on self-control, making lying more plausible. Furthermore, they attempt to prevent unnecessary movement. That's why scientists conducting a scientific experiment believed liars who needed to go to the bathroom.

During the Victorian era, there was a significant change in the way people dressed. The Victorian dress reform, also known as the rational dress movement, occurred between the 1860s and 1890s, during the middle and late Victorian eras. Reformers proposed, wore, and even designed clothing that was more practical and comfortable than what was available at the time.

In the second millennium BC, ancient Egyptians described hysteria for the first time. The term 'hysteria' was coined by Hippocrates from the Greek adjective hysterikos, which means "from the womb." He blamed hysteria on the womb wandering within the female body, which caused anxiety, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, and a sense of suffocation. Hysteria was first associated with the brain in the 18th century, rather than the uterus. According to Sigmund Freud, it is caused by trauma and can affect both sexes. The DSM did not remove the concept of hysterical neurosis until 1980. Dissociative disorders are now thought to cause hysterical symptoms.

People tend to seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs while ignoring information that contradicts their existing beliefs. This is referred to as confirmation of expectations. It contributes significantly to confirmation bias, a type of cognitive bias. This desire for confirmation causes us to avoid information that challenges our worldview.

The United States government physically poisoned booze during Prohibition. When individuals continued to drink alcohol despite its prohibition, law enforcement authorities were dissatisfied and decided to try a different form of deterrent—death. They directed the poisoning of industrial alcohols made in the United States, which were frequently stolen by bootleggers. The federal poisoning operation is estimated to have killed at least 10,000 individuals by the end of Prohibition in 1933.

Start counting those sheep, since sleep is crucial. Many of history's worst tragedies, such as Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, the Challenger explosion, and the Exxon Valdez oil leak, were caused by a lack of sleep.

Speaking of astronauts, their experience has shown that transitioning from weightlessness to gravity can be taxing on the body. Muscles atrophy and bones lose bone mass in the absence of gravity. According to NASA, astronauts in space can lose 1% of their bone mass per month.

John Duns Scotus, a thirteenth-century philosopher, believed that wearing a pointed cap would help spread knowledge from the tip to the brain, and his "Dunsmen" followers wore them as a badge of honour. However, his ideas became less popular in the 1500s, and the meaning of the Duns cap was turned on its head, becoming something of a joke.

Why doesn't your stomach digest itself if it has so many enzymes and acids that it can digest a piece of meat? It turns out that it sort of does. The cells that line your stomach proliferate fast in order to replace the cells that are killed in the course of their everyday tasks. Every three days, we develop a new gut lining.

Walter Arnold of the English town of Paddock Wood, Kent, was the first person to be charged for speeding, according to Guinness World Records. On January 28, 1896, Arnold was caught driving four times the speed limit in his 19th-century Benz—but because the speed limit at the time was only two miles per hour, he wasn't travelling too fast by today's standards. The officer had to track him down on his bike, issuing a £4 7s penalty and earning Arnold the swift distinction.

Now, before you start freaking out, please hear us out! Sedentism is encouraged in today's environment. After all, we sit during our commutes, to eat, to watch TV, to work, to socialise with our friends, and so on. It turns out that even if you exercise regularly, it won't keep you safe from the risks of the "office lifestyle."
