It seems that age can more or less influence our mood. In fact, a study has revealed that baby-faced people live longer than those who appear older. This would mean that according to your physical appearance, you can know how long you are expected to live. That is right! After seven years of research a Danish scientist has proven so.

Baby face

Men are obsessed with the passage of time and death, when in fact the elder are just people in another form of beauty. But thanks to the British Medical Journal we now know that people who are 40 years old and appear to be 30, look younger because their cells reproduce more easily. But the explanation is not only outside, but there is also a biological factor. The more telomeres our DNA has (the telomeres are the ends of the chromosomes), the higher the reproduction of cells will be and the lower the aging will be.

Kaare Christensen, the professor from the University of Southern Denmark who led the study, adds that people who have had a harder life are more likely to die young. In addition, the face reflects the difficulty of the path of the life. But basically everything is relative and there is a chance factor which no study can truly explore.

Perhaps this news will make you laugh, because nowadays the studies focus more and more on dazzling and dubious things. If the eyes are the mirror of the soul and aging is just a phase of human life, it all has advantages and disadvantages.

The truth is that there is no wrong age to travel and give your eyes some of the world’s wonders like Marrakech. Keep your inner child’s soul and rent Apartments in Marrakech. That really is the way to live longer!

The NightBra, the Antiwrinkle Bra

When innovation and technology come together, stunning things might arise. Did you realize that when you sleep sideways you are damaging your breasts? Thanks to the imagination of Elisa Fernandez from Spain, you do not need to undergo surgery. The NightBra is specially designed with fabrics that do not fold, move or wrinkle. To evaluate the utility degree of this invention, let’s consider its advantages and disadvantages.

After 30 years of research, the Spanish gynaecologist Elisa Fernandez created the Nightbreed: this is a bra without cups, with materials that protect the thin skin of the breast and without overlapping the edges. This is available on the Internet for 50 or 60 euros. She has received international recognition for its tremendously innovative character. Now women no longer have to worry about the unsightly wrinkles of the neckline: they finally have an intelligent and cheap remedy.

Maybe others have not even realized they have wrinkles in their chest, especially around the neckline. These human inventions are increasingly more surreal, don’t you think?

Maybe men like its design because the breasts are exposed, but it is not particularly an erotic garment (the truth is that it is far from our idea of lingerie).

We have enough worries on our minds to go about counting the wrinkles on our face therefore spending even more money on miracle creams and becoming paranoid with our beloved body. Travel to Marrakech and enjoy the sun as never before. And sleep without worrying about your position in the comfortable and cheap Apartments in Marrakech.

Men need vitamin D

To increase men’s sexual desire, there is a much more natural thing than the classic blue pill (Viagra), the aphrodisiacs or the sexy lingerie. It’s something that every one of us can enjoy: the sun. It transmits vitamin D, which increases the testosterone levels and rises our energy level. Are you ready?

Incredible, isn’t it ? According to a study conducted by the British magazine Clinical Endocrinology, the male sex hormone or testosterone is higher in those men with large amounts of vitamin D. This vitamin also helps to maintain the muscle strength and the bone density.

This would explain why men are more sexual during summer. It has also concluded that August is the “hottest one” unlike March and the winter months that leave men with less sexual appetite. The vitamin can also be found in fatty fish such as salmon, trout and herring.

The only notice given by the doctor who led the study, Professor Winfried Marz, is that people have to be cautious with sun exposure, because it can be harmful. You don’t need to take your boyfriend to the beach to fry himself like a fried egg to elevate his libido because too much sun exposure may cause skin cancer.

If you want to test the efficiency of the sun, there is a place where it always shines: Morocco. We advise you to arrange a stay alone with your partner and rent Apartments in Marrakech: it will be an ideal libido boost cocktail.

Do you believe in fate? If so, you probably also believe in the power of talismans and amulets. The human being has always looked for a way of being protected from evil and attracting luck. They supposedly have apotropaic effects (effects that some superstitions or pseudo-sciences attribute to certain acts, rituals, objects or phrases to keep away or protect against the evil or to attract good luck).

talismans

The use of talismans and amulets dates back thousands of years. They first appeared as pictures or paintings, and later they became small gods and statues that man always carried in order to protect them.

Nowadays, both the amulets and the talismans are varied in shapes, sizes and materials. Many of them are closely related to the esoteric world, and all respond to two major needs and purposes: to protect against the adversities or to attract good luck. Among some of their functions are to help ourselves to find love, to increase fertility and to eliminate the evil eye, etc. There is probably one that fits perfectly in your lifestyle. They can be a gem stone, a figure or a plant, etc.

The talismans of today are objects charged with spiritual energy through a series of healing rituals. Supposedly, the talismans serve to favour the concretion of the positive desires: getting jobs, bringing harmony to the family and promoting health. Meanwhile, the amulets are used to ward off negative energies and guard against the forces of evil: envy, morbid jealousy and hatred. They also require an energy charging process that must be done according to certain rituals.

Some of the most famous objects to which “magic powers” are attributed: witches, dice, mirrors, five-pointed stars, horseshoes, four leaf clovers, magic eyes, etc. When we were kids we tended to believe more in magic than now: the mysterious and unknown fascinated us. But as grown ups some are still fascinated by paranormal phenomena. Discover an incredible world where the myths and the superstitions are more alive than ever. Rent the best Apartments in Marrakech and just enjoy the charm of this enigmatic city.

Are we what we read?

With the invention of e-books, the Internet, the pervasiveness of the screens and our limited visits to the library, we tend to forget what the word paper means. Fortunately, there is that free loan system called Bookcrossing, which consists of leaving a book somewhere (a bench, a tree, a lamp post …) to permit other people to read it and once finished, leaving it in another place to keep the chain moving.

bookcrossing

How often have we heard that the book culture is dying? In recent years there has been an important drop in the sales of books and a lower rate of visits to the book fairs. Children are less surrounded by books, which have been replaced by video games or computers and the adults prefer to read the news online. But that does not mean that we have lost the pleasure for reading: many people love to read the film adaptations. Books have become disposable consumption objects, in which the person-object relationship is purely functional.

But everything changes, everyone has their own relationship with the books, and we can not set any prototype: some people have the custom of smelling them when they open the first page, sign them, protect them, and so on. Each one values its treasures in their own way.

Also, if you use the public transport, you will notice that many people are immersed in their own universe of paper. Many even stop in the middle of the corridor, disturbing the flow of the public space because they can not stop reading. Sometimes, others forget their stop because of the same reason. A good book captures you, makes you dream and takes you somewhere else! Its powerful avoidance power is such that makes you forget about the rest of the world.

Some prefer not to lend their books, even to their partners or colleagues. Maybe they will never see the lent book again. The personal libraries are presented in all its majesty, because books are often our biggest treasure.

The Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges said that “one is not getting what one wants, (…) great by what one reads and not by what one writes”. When you read the same book several times in your life you will never feel the same feelings! Reading can change your life: it allows you to write better, to enhance your culture and it strengthens your imagination. Whether it’s a magazine, a comic, a novel or a newspaper… to read is a unique pleasure.

Take your best novel, this one that has been sleeping on your shelf for years, put it in a suitcase and travel with it to Marrakech. Rent Apartments in Marrakech and let yourself be hypnotized by the fiction.
