Brushing our teeth is one of the rituals we repeat the most throughout our lives , most of the time without even noticing that we are doing it automatically .
But that doesn ’ t mean that there aren ’ t better ( or worse ) ways of doing it .
For instance , there are things we do when brushing our teeth that could end up causing cavities .
That got the Bright Side thinking about what we normally do when brushing our teeth , so we thought it ’ d be a good idea to write an article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s so normal to eat , brush , and rinse your teeth , that we might not even realize we ’ re doing it wrong !
Fluoride is the heart and soul of your toothpaste .
This amazing invention , meant to be used daily , is a product that contains a combination of ingredients , the most important of which is fluoride .
That ’ s because its function is to protect the tooth enamel from bacteria , which cause infectious diseases like cavities .
These bacteria could cause the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , the use of toothpaste in your dental hygiene can reduce the risk of cavities by around 25 % to 45 % , to be precise .
But how long you brush your teeth can also have an impact on cavities .
Sadly , most people brush their teeth for just around 45 to 70 seconds .
This might be related to the fast pace in which we are forced to lead our modern lives .
However , the Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme ( SDCEP ) recommends brushing your teeth for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and other oral hygiene-related diseases .
Rinsing too much can damage your teeth .
While you might think it ’ s a great idea to remove all traces of toothpaste from your teeth after brushing , thorough rinsing is actually not the way to go .
Or at least that ’ s what Dr. Clement Seeballuck , Clinical Lecturer in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Dundee , revealed in a study .
According to him , it ’ s better to just spit out the residue , since over-rinsing can wash the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teeth , making the protection it offers less effective .
Brushing at night is more important than you think .
In the same study , Dr. Seeballuk also said that brushing your teeth at night is extremely important .

Bringing anger to bed is one of the most hurtful things you can do. When awake, we have the chance to process negative emotions and let go of them. But as we hit the hay, uneasy feelings can grow bigger, and even a minor inconvenience can swell into a truly Shakespearean drama.
Bright Side investigated how bedtime anger affects our sleep and hopes to shed some light on the matter.
1. Anger spoils your sleep.
Stress and heavy feelings are known to trigger a fight-or-flight response that makes you physically alert. In these circumstances, falling asleep and staying asleep become much harder. Furthermore, it has also been proven that disrupted sleep can build more anger. You’ll likely wake up exhausted instead of refreshed. In this case, anger leads to bad sleep and bad sleep leads to more anger, forming a cursed cycle that no one wants to find themselves in.
2. Anger is dangerous for your health.
Scientists have already determined that the quality of sleep influences one’s overall health. Normally, sleep acts as “overnight therapy,” stabilizing our emotions so that we can better cope with our feelings the next day. But anger and intense stress can jeopardize this process. Negative emotions release stress hormones, making you more irritable, and a lot of worrying symptoms can come along with that. In the long run, it can lead to insomnia, fitful sleep, and nightmares — or, in the worst cases, mental health problems, like depression.
3. It’s harder to forget bad feelings after you sleep.
Researchers claim that we’re less able to suppress a negative experience after we sleep than before it. Sleep magnifies any emotions, thoughts, and problems. When we sleep, our brain processes new information and stores it into our short and long-term memory. During sleep, anger goes into our long-term memory and can have a long-lasting effect. A bad experience is greatly reduced if we stay awake after it, while sleep “protects” the negative emotional reaction. When bad feelings are solidified in your memory, it will be much harder to suppress them in the future.
4. Anger kills sincerity.
It’s known that the late evening is a peak time for intimacy. Going to bed mad surely ruins the mood but it also establishes a toxic pattern. In the end, you start to associate bedtime with anger instead of comfort and connection with your partner. And if this is repeated on a regular basis, it may turn into bitterness and will eventually destroy the relationship.
5. It sends a negative message to your partner.
If in the midst of an argument you decide to just roll over and pull your blanket tight, you’re sending a message that you value “winning” in the conflict more than maintaining a healthy relationship with the person you’re arguing with. You may not be communicating that on purpose, but that’s often the takeaway. The way you deal with disagreements can either strengthen or break up your relationships.

The most annoying habits in a partner

While in a relationship, you may have wondered if you were “at that level” with them, meaning you could do things like leave your toothbrush at your partner’s apartment or ask to have a bite of food off their plate. It may be a little tricky and even awkward at times, especially if you’re just getting to know each other and aren’t used to talking openly about the relationship.
Trying to guess what’s in the other person’s mind is a pretty tough task. But there’s no need to do that since Bright Side has you covered. We’ve found an interesting survey that reveals just how much time, on average, both men and women need to start doing different things in front of each other.
How long into a relationship do you think it’s appropriate to...
Meet your partner’s friends: 4 months
Start sharing food: 4 months
Go makeup-free in front of your partner: 5 months
Leave a toothbrush at your partner’s home: 6 months
Ask to share their streaming accounts: 9 months
Stop shaving: 12 months
Stop dressing to impress your partner: 12 months
Go through your partner’s phone: 12 months
Ask for a key to your partner’s home: 12 months
Put on weight: 15 months
As it turns out, women need more time to reach the next level in a relationship.

According to a study, Japanese people live longer than people in other countries of the world (second only to citizens of Monaco). An average life expectancy in Japan is about 85.3 years. In comparison, Americans, on average, live for up to 80 years.
Here at Bright Side, we eagerly want to learn the secrets of longevity and share them with you. So go ahead and grab your notebooks, here are a handful of reasons why Japanese people live for so long.
The traditional Japanese diet is healthy and balanced.
The typical Japanese diet is high in grains and vegetables and people there don’t eat as much red meat as they do in the United States or Western Europe. Red meat has a lot more cholesterol than fish, which gives a person a higher chance of getting heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.
Also, Japanese people don’t eat much dairy (which is a source of saturated fat that can contribute to heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s), have smaller plates, and drink lots of green tea instead of coffee (tea is full of antioxidants).
Traditions include spending a lot of time with family.
Taking care of older members of the family and helping out around the house is an important tradition in Japan. There are also multigenerational families in Japan, which means 2 or more generations may live in one household. So having the whole family around is normal, and it can be a great psychological boost for older people, urging them to enjoy the time they have with their family.
Ikigai: having a reason to wake up every day
Ikigai literally means “reason for being.” It’s the concept of having a direction or purpose in life that was born in Japan and is now gaining popularity worldwide. Japanese psychologist Michiko Kumano describes ikigai as devoting oneself to things one enjoys and having a feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment.
Researchers from Tohoku University found that people that know about and practice ikigai can have a reduced risk of heart disease and live longer.
Japan can teach us about cleanliness.
The world remembers viral videos of Japanese students cleaning their schools — Japan has a reputation as one of the “cleanest” nations in the world (which is made clear by looking at the numbers of plagues in Japan compared to that of Europe). And it doesn’t need to be proven that cleanliness leads to good health.
It doesn’t always seem like a cultural norm in the rest of the world to wash your hands and shower every day, but keeping clean will help you to avoid diseases (especially when you’re elderly) and can keep you from getting sick.
Japanese use the “hara hachi bu” method to avoid binge eating.
Hara hachi bu means “Eat until you are 8 parts (out of 10) full” — it’s a Confucian philosophy that teaches one to avoid overeating and eat until you are 80% full. The authors of The Okinawa Program: How the World’s Longest-Lived People Achieve Everlasting Health And How You Can Too, Bradley and Craig Wilcox and Makoto Suzuki, suggest that this method can extend elderly people’s life expectancy by restricting the number of calories consumed.
Japanese people are active walkers.
Not only do a lot of Japanese people eat healthy, but they stand and walk a lot. Many citizens, especially older people, walk, bike, and take the train to work (instead of a car). Cars are actually not that popular, and it’s easy to take a train almost anywhere you need to (which is why the train system in Japan is so great).

For the chefs that really care about their meals, it may be shocking to see how people treat their food. Of course, nobody has the right to tell someone how to eat a certain meal but in some cases, it’s impossible to remain silent.
We at Bright Side don’t think that every visitor of a restaurant has to read a manual before eating a meal. But we decided to find out more about the point of view of people that have a different opinion. And in the bonus, you will find out that pepperoni pizza is not what you think it is.
1. Sushi
For some strange reason, a lot of people eat sushi by dipping the rice into the soy sauce/wasabi mix. This is supposed to be the wrong way to eat sushi because the rice might break apart. Also, many people use chopsticks to eat sushi. In Japan, they turn the sushi upside down and dip the fish into the soy sauce/wasabi mix. And sushi is ‘best’ eaten with fingers, not chopsticks. The chopsticks are never used in high-class Japanese sushi restaurants.© Eugene Lim / Quora
2. Feta cheese
After years of eating feta cheese straight from the package, I learned it always requires rinsing under tap water before consumption, to wash off the brine that aims to preserve it. Feta cheese should not be excessively salty and if it is, it’s because you haven’t removed the excess salty water! © Silvia Botz / Quora
3. Pasta and “meat sauce”
World-famous, yet so embarrassing to even display it like that, the combination of spaghetti and “meat sauce” is a complete mess and the wrong way of combining 2 otherwise delicious things, namely spaghetti and “meat sauce.” No need for a long answer here. It’s as simple as this: a proper plate of pasta with ragù (that is what a meat-based sauce should actually be called) is best served with egg dough, fresh pasta. Spaghetti is a really bad idea to accompany this sauce because its surface is too slippery, and it does not hold on to meat particles, thus yielding the use of a fork a very difficult and frustrating exercise. That is why egg dough pasta, like fettuccine or tagliatelle, exists: their rough surface is capable of sticking to a meat sauce and therefore maximizing the combination of pasta and sauce. You are basically getting the best of both worlds. © Antonello Frau / Quora
4. Bacon
Do you cook it in a frying pan? Bake it in the oven instead. It takes 20 minutes, but it’s worth the wait. A frying pan gets extremely hot and cooks it quickly and unevenly. That’s why you get some parts that are burnt and other parts that still have the rancid flavor of the uncooked fat. Ovens cook slow and even so the entire strip of bacon is consistent throughout. I used to think I liked bacon crispy because it needed to be to get rid of the rancid flavor. Having it out of the oven it’s even more amazing a little undercooked. © Jason Siegel / Quora
5. Chocolate
I went to a chocolate tasting class. You are actually supposed to let the chocolate melt in your mouth a little, to taste the various flavors. Honestly, I still just devour it... © ts1985 / Reddit
6. Tortillas
So many people, stores, and restaurants practically serve them “raw.” Like if any of you have ever bought a pack of tortillas at the grocery store... Put them on a pan or the stove! Get it a little toasty, if it’s a flour tortilla, it should puff up a bit so you know it’s done. But no, so many people just straight up eat them flat, cold, chewy, and flavorless. © athaliah / Reddit
7. Chicken
First off, they brine the chicken. It doesn’t make it “juicy”, it makes it bland and wet. The chickens you buy at the supermarkets were raised at farms where their muscles couldn’t form properly, so the meat will all taste the same. And they are injected with water, so it makes brining even more pointless. Coq au Vin was created to cook tough old stringy roosters. We need a new recipe to work with modern mass-produced chicken. © Malcolm Minchin / Quora
8. Steak
Steaks should be served well-rested. No one does this. It takes a long time for a steak or roast to rest. Restaurants would get complaints about the wait, and then more complaints about their food being cold. But a well-rested slice of prime rib is divine. For a roast, you want it to rest so that all the juices don’t drain out when you slice it. But the more important thing is the flavor profile that you get when the fat begins to solidify inside the meat. Try it sometime. Eat one steak hot off the grill, leave another on your cutting board for later. Slice it into thin strips, dab it in a little salt, and let it melt in your mouth. © Steve Carroll / Quora
9. Hamburgers with mayo
Specifically, where does the mayo go? Think about what the purpose of mayonnaise is here? To add flavor? To add fat? A well-made burger will have plenty of either of those. The unique property of mayonnaise is that it is a stable emulsion. It has an aqueous phase and a lipid phase dispersed through one another. This means that it can bind with both water and fat, which are, not coincidentally, the 2 things that a juicy burger is bleeding out unless it has been seriously overcooked. If you put the mayo on the bottom bun, it will protect the bun from the moisture. If you put it on the top bun, it will just stay there. © Jesse Sutton / Quora
10. Apple skin
An apple with skin contains around 5.4 grams of fiber, while without skin it contains only about 2.8 grams of fiber. Plus an apple with skin contains about 116 calories and without skin, it contains about 104. So, you see there’s no significant difference in calorie content, but there is a significant difference in fiber content. Plus, the peel of apple can provide some great health-related benefits as well. The most significant is a reduction in the risk of getting certain types of cancer, like liver and colon cancer. The peel of an apple contains a compound known as triterpenoids that have the tendency to destroy cancer cells, as well as prevent new ones from forming. © Tracy Morgan / Quora
11. Boiled potatoes
I always start my potatoes and eggs in cold water. In the case of potatoes, the spuds and the water come up to temperature at the same time, so the insides are done at the same time the outsides are. © Beth Goldowitz / Quora
12. Surströmming
Watching YouTube videos of foreigners eating surströmming is painful! Yes, it smells bad, but please remember you have to rinse it before you eat it. Traditionally you take a small piece of surströmming. (Its taste is very strong and salty, you should not put a whole filet in your mouth.) After this, you can put more stuff like red onion and sour cream on top too. Of course, this is really easy to figure out if you just YouTube! Learn to do your research! © imroroyo / Reddit
13. Salt and sugar
All meals should be eaten with salt. Even the sweet ones. If you are making sweet oatmeal with milk, you need to add salt to it until it becomes tasty. This oatmeal will taste way better. © SPICERACK.RU / Pikabu
14. Tofu
People will eat an unseasoned, microwaved block of tofu and go like, “I don’t think this is for me.” Tofu is a flavor sponge. You gotta press the water out, add your seasonings, and provide salt and fat for tastiness. For anyone trying tofu, press it, then quickly marinate it in a 50/50 soy sauce and hot sauce dip. Add black pepper, cumin, and a splash of liquid smoke. Slice it thin and pan fry it in oil. You’ll have a crack level tasty kind of bacon. © brodoyouevenscript / Reddit
15. Caesar salad
The way it’s SUPPOSED to be prepared is with whole romaine leaves. You take the leaves whole, toss them in dressing, and top them with cheese and croutons. Simple enough. But you’re then supposed to eat it with your fingers. Yes, pick that stuff up and eat it. The romaine leaves should be large and sturdy enough to be picked up. If not, it’s a bad salad. I have worked in precisely ONE restaurant that served it the correct way. © EET_SALAD_RIGHT / Reddit
Bonus: What’s wrong with pepperoni pizza?
“Pepperoni” consists of peppers. What you call pepperoni is actually salami — and a very bad take on it at that. © TheScienceN**** / Reddit

brightside--2020-09-15--18 Animals That Now Have Homes and Their Owners Are on Cloud Nine

There are 2 reasons why animals end up in shelters : either their owners bring them there or these animals are just found on the streets .
We don ’ t know the stories of every pet , but we can all give them a new home and some love .
The people from this compilation did exactly that .
“ Adopted my first cat ever today !
Meet Earl.
” First day , and now 5 years later “ Everyone meet Lily .
She ’ s a stray that adopted my husband and me today .
He ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won him over with that adorable look of love.
” “ Just adopted this little girl !

” “ I adopted a gorgeous ( and very skinny ) Manx and several days later she had a single kitten .
Meet Stella and Bug !
” “ Cherry .

” “ I just adopted my first senior cat , Baby .
She clung @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us on her first night .
She ’ s the sweetest kitty.
” “ Meet Spyro !
Glad we took a chance on this shivering , terrified mess a year ago at the pound .
He ’ s the sweetest , most grateful boy in the universe !

” “ No one wanted to adopt her , but I thought she was the prettiest.
” “ I went to the shelter to adopt a dog , and I found those 2 in this posture , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ended up adopting both of them.
” Find someone that will look at you the way this adopted puppy looks at its human .

There are 2 reasons why animals end up in shelters: either their owners bring them there or these animals are just found on the streets. We don’t know the stories of every pet, but we can all give them a new home and some love. The people from this compilation did exactly that.
We at Bright Side hope that more and more animals will have new owners because all of them deserve to have a home and be loved.

An interesting costume is an important element of any movie, which is why professionals in the movie industry pay almost as much attention to the costumes as they do casting. Some costumes take so much time and work that it’s truly unbelievable. For example, designers may make dozens of copies of the same dress or spend hours in galleries to copy a costume from an old painting.
We at Bright Side are convinced that the works of some costume designers are true pieces of art. And that’s why we want to share 10 examples of costume designs that blew our minds.
The hoods in The Handmaid’s Tale
The traditional clothes that the women of the Azores islands wore until the 1930s always included a giant hood. The reasons why are still debatable. But researchers believe that this piece of clothing helped the women avoid glances from men.
Kate Winslet’s dress in Titanic
Before the start of the shooting process, director James Cameron presented Deborah Lynn Scott with a difficult task: he wanted clothes that reflected the style of the 1910s and that were water-resistant (even for the extras). But they still had to create copies of some of the costumes. For example, for the final scene, they had 24 copies of Kate Winslet’s dress because it started to look really bad in salty water.
The suits in The Great Gatsby
Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby is more of a modern interpretation of the 1920s rather than an accurate period piece. But the costume designers were very careful when creating the men’s suits. Brooks Brothers took part in the production of the suits, and even the author of the novel, F. Scott Fitzgerald mentioned them. The costume designer, Catherine Martin, worked with 2 modern clothing brands to create the clothes for the female characters — Prada and Miu Miu. The owner of the brands, Miuccia Prada, took part in creating the dresses: together, they chose 40 dresses and restyled them for the movie.
The costumes in Little Women
The ideas for many of the dresses you can see in the latest screen adaption of Little Women were taken from paintings. According to costume designer Jacqueline Durran, Winslow Homer’s painting of 2 boys inspired her to create the clothes the characters wore in one of the scenes. The same is true for some other works of this painter.
Keira Knightley’s dress in Atonement
The iconic look of Keira Knightley’s character in Atonement was created by costume designer Jacqueline Durran. The saturated emerald-green color was specially chosen by the director of the film, Joe Wright. It is believed that the color green is an unusual choice for a movie because it makes the viewer feel nervous and uncomfortable. But the director decided to use it to make the emotions even brighter.
Angelina Jolie’s cuffs in Alexander
In the past, women wore cuffs — special earrings that didn’t require piercing the ears. Very often, movie creators that make films about ancient civilizations neglect this accessory, even though they were quite popular. But the costume designer of Alexander thought that it was an important detail, which is why Angelina Jolie, the mother of the main character, was wearing cuffs instead of the regular earrings we’ve all grown to recognize.
Kate Hudson’s look in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
This dress is famous because costumer designer Karen Patch made it for Kate Hudson with her own hands. It was made in yellow to highlight the beauty of the Isadora pendant that cost more than $5 million at the time. There was an estimated $14,200,000 worth of jewels lent to the film. After the movie was released, yellow cocktail dresses became very popular.
Lily James’ dress in Cinderella
The amazingly beautiful dress of Cinderella from the famous costume designer, Sandy Powell, really impressed viewers. But few people know how hard it was for her to create and for the actress to wear. The seemingly light dress was incredibly heavy because the corset and crinoline (skirt cage) were made out of steel. It took the crew about 45 minutes to dress the actress. There were 8 versions of the gown, and they were all different. One was 2 inches shorter and a couple more were 4 inches shorter for the scenes where Lily had to run.
Emily Blunt’s costume in The Young Victoria
The dress Victoria wears for her first meeting with her council is a copy of the actual dress Queen Victoria wore on this occasion. It still exists today and is on display at Kensington Palace. It has since faded to brown as the black dye at the time was not stable. By the way, all of her costumes were insured for $10,000 each.
Keira Knightley’s look in Pride & Prejudice
Closer to the end of the shooting process of Pride & Prejudice, Keira Knightley wore dresses with long sleeves exclusively. They helped her conceal the toned muscles she had developed as she was already preparing for her next project, Domino. She trained, worked out a lot, and had short hair.

Myth 4 : The more megapixels your phone camera has , the better the quality the photo is .
When buying a phone , the amount of megapixels seems like an iconic feature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good the camera is .
But this feature is really only important for professional photographers and their cameras .
For a phone user , it ’ s not the number of megapixels , but their size , which makes the quality of the photo closer to ideal .

Using a hairdryer is another bad idea , it may dry your phone a bit , but it ’ ll overheat it , which means the device gets that much closer to its inevitable death .
Both methods are used because people just want to do something , no matter what , to save their phone .

Myth 6 : It ’ s a bad idea to keep your phone and credit card together .
You might have heard that a cellphone and a credit card aren ’ t the best neighbors , because the card ’ s magnetic stripe can be demagnetized by the phone .

Our smartphones have nearly become mythological creatures, as there are so many “legends” about them. Is it really good for your eyesight if you dim the screen of your phone, or do smartphones cause various diseases — these are just a few questions that fire up epic discussions all over the place.
We at Bright Side did some research on the statements about mobile phones that seemed so true at the beginning, but turned out to be just the fruit of someone’s vivid imagination. We’d love for you to take a look at them together with us.
Myth 1: Setting screen brightness on low helps your eyesight.
You might believe that keeping the night brightness mode on your phone, even during the daytime helps you to not overload the eyes. However, opticians disagree and claim that when you dim the screen instead of properly adjusting the brightness settings, you strain your eyes. This happens because you will need to focus more and your eyes will have to do double the work, which can also lead to headaches. The ideal screen brightness is one which is the same as the light surrounding you, so both lights blend and it’s natural for the eyes.
Myth 2: Charging your smartphone overnight will damage its battery.
The smartphones are called “smart” for a reason, and among all their handy functions there’s an ability to recognize that its battery is fully charged. Your phone will stop the incoming current without your assistance, just the way it turns off when the battery is at its lowest point. If you do care about the lifespan of your battery, just don’t let it drain down to zero too often, “feed” it when it’s still alive.
Myth 3: You should close the apps you aren’t using to save the phone’s power.
This statement seems very logical, and you may think that the more apps that are running in the background, the more work your phone does. In fact, as stated by Apple, closing apps to save the battery’s power doesn’t help and even makes things worse. All apps are automatically closed and if you interfere and close them manually, you actually make your phone lose more power.
Myth 4: The more megapixels your phone camera has, the better the quality the photo is.
When buying a phone, the amount of megapixels seems like an iconic feature we can use to tell us how good the camera is. But this feature is really only important for professional photographers and their cameras. For a phone user, it’s not the number of megapixels, but their size, which makes the quality of the photo closer to ideal. The best megapixels are the largest ones, which means less can be stuffed into a single picture.
Myth 5: Use a hairdryer to save a phone that got wet. Or put it into rice.
Putting a phone into rice after pulling it out of the toilet seems trustworthy, since rice is known for its capacity to absorb moisture. But in reality, the tiny particles will clog the cellphone parts and will damage them even more. Using a hairdryer is another bad idea, it may dry your phone a bit, but it’ll overheat it, which means the device gets that much closer to its inevitable death. Both methods are used because people just want to do something, no matter what, to save their phone. The best idea is to just put it on a shelf and let it dry.
Myth 6: It’s a bad idea to keep your phone and credit card together.
You might have heard that a cellphone and a credit card aren’t the best neighbors, because the card’s magnetic stripe can be demagnetized by the phone. This could be true about a fridge magnet or a magnet clutch on your wallet, but never about a phone. Its magnetic field is too weak to alter your card. Some people never put cards and phones together, just in case they get robbed, so at least one of them will survive the theft, which makes more sense than the demagnetizing legend.

The WHO states that up to the present moment, there’s no evidence that low-level electromagnetic fields can harm the health of a human being in any possible way. However, the WHO also says that if a person stands right near the antenna or radar that produces the waves, their risk may increase.
Myth 8: Disinfectant wipes can damage smartphone screens.
There’s a popular statement that your smartphone is 10 times dirtier than your toilet and that many colonies of bacteria comfortably live on it. Disinfecting the screen reduces the risk of catching viruses and skin diseases, like acne. But are disinfecting wipes safe for your phone? Apple says yes, they are. What is more, there’s a universal soap for all phones that will disinfect screens and won’t harm them.
Myth 9: You can cook an egg with your smartphone.
This belief has remained popular since the early 2000s. People used to create fake “experiments” where they “cooked an egg” using the waves that come from a cellphone. In reality, phones can’t cook eggs or popcorn, because they can’t create the amount of energy needed for cooking. Even if all the waves from phones were turned to microwaves, the egg would not even be heated to body temperature before your battery would die.
Myth 10: Free Wi-Fi is safe.
Free Wi-Fi hotspots are very tempting to use, and they’re offered as a pleasant bonus in many public places. But it’s not safe to do your banking operations and enter any passwords while you’re using public Wi-Fi. The traffic in these spots is not protected, which means anyone can easily see what pages you’re visiting and what data you enter. It’s better to use public Wi-Fi only for visiting entertaining websites or browsing for information.
