Can you guess the title of my next video?

Write your guess in the comments section below.

We experience an extreme headache, nausea, vomiting, etc. the next morning.

Now, we get a hangover because alcohol is a diuretic.

This means it makes you urinate a lot, making us lose more water and thus, causing our body to get dehydrated.

When our body gets dehydrated, it begins to steal water from the brain.

Causing it to shrink and thus, giving us a hangover headache.

In addition to this, when we drink alcohol, our liver breaks down the alcohol into toxic acetaldehyde.

However, when we drink too much, we cannot convert toxic acetaldehyde as quickly as usual.

Hence, it begins to build up in our body and thus, causing hangover nausea and vomiting.

Moreover, different types of alcohol have
different amounts of congeners, which are basically impurities.

If we drink the alcohol which has more congeners, then it can increase the severity of a hangover.

There are a number of reasons why some people are more prone to mosquito bites.

Millions of bacteria which live on our skin produce various gases.

Some of these body odors attract the mosquitoes.

So, this is the reason why mosquitoes prefer me.

A popular research found that mosquitoes tend to bite people with Type O blood nearly twice as often as those with Type A.

This is because when we exercise, we release more carbon dioxide, heat, and sweat.

Mosquitoes can detect this carbon dioxide and heat.

They can also sense various substances in our sweat such as lactic acid, thus making us more likely to get bitten.

Why does a swimmer push the water backward?

Jump in the water and push the water backward with your hands.

This will help you to move forward towards the shore.

You are moving forward towards the shore.

Do you know why you were able to move forward by pushing the water backward?

To understand this, you need to learn about Newton's third law of motion.

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When we swim, we apply force and push the water backward with the help of our hands.

In response to this action, the water pushes us forward with an equal force.

Thus, in order to move forward and swim, the swimmer pushes the water backward.

Pearls are the result of a biological process within living sea creatures.

Like an oyster as it protects itself from foreign substances.

Inside the shells, there is an organ called
mantle.

Mantle covers and protects all the internal organs of the oyster.

Whenever any foreign substance like a grain of sand or a parasite makes its way into the oyster.

Gets stuck in between the shell
and mantle.

The mantle's natural reaction is to cover that foreign substance to protect the oyster's internal organs.

For this, the mantle secretes a mineral called nacre around the foreign substance in layers.

Over time, layer upon layer of nacre leads to the formation of a pearl.

Our moon takes about 27 days to rotate around its own axis and 27.3 days to revolve around the earth.

This means the moon rotates around its axis at almost the same rate or speed as it revolves around the earth.

Hence, the same side of the moon is constantly facing the earth, making us see only one or same side of the moon.

However, if the moon did not rotate on its axis, then we could see the other side of the moon.

We would also see the other side, if the moon rotated in 13.5 days, i.e., it made two rotations in one revolution.

However, an interesting fact is that due to the elliptical orbit of the moon.

We can see almost 59% of the moon's surface.
