Question 1

i heard that only ten percent of ppl in the world are supinators..is this true & if so, why?

No, Everyone can: Supination is a type of muscle movement of the elbow, like flexing and extending. You supinate when you turn your palm up.

Question 2

i have hpv and i have heard that papillex helps. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Too good to be true?: Papillex is a 'phytoceutical' made from fruits, nuts, & mushroom extracts.  It is supposed to increase your immune response & thereby help you clear the virus.  There are 'testimonials' on website but no controlled clinical trials. Without these and fda review there is no good hard data.  Hpv becomes part of your epidermal cells.  Immunological agents have been tried in studies with +/- success.

Question 3

i heard that japanese diet is the healthiest. is this true?

Accepted Answer

No: People from okinawa are the longest living people in the world. Their diet is not the typical japanese diet.

Question 4

i heard laughter is the secret to happiness. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Laughter and positivity: "Laughter is the best medicine!"  Laughing is a positive emotion and therefore induces "good" chemicals.

Question 8

i heard that it is good to eat small, frequent meals. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It keeps your metabolism up, your blood sugars more stable, and you digest food better with decreased energy deposition (i.e., fat).  The problem is most people lose track of how much they eat, how often they eat, and what they eat.  Also, many people eat the same size portions 4-5x day as they would 3x/day.  If you are cognizant of these facts, you should be ok and won't fatigued or stuffed.
