This picture shows three types of stars in our galaxy: G stars, which are like our Sun; K dwarfs, which are smaller and cooler; and M dwarfs, which are even fainter and cooler. It compares them in terms of important things. Hotter stars have wider habitable zones where life might exist. Red dwarf M...
Credit: Pixaobay The idea that reducing meat consumption enhances cardiovascular health is not groundbreaking, but previous studies affirming this have often been hindered by confounding factors like genetics, background, and lifestyle. Now, researchers have minimized many of these variables by conducting a study on identical twins, comparing the effects of a healthy omnivore diet with...
