The lengths people will go to lose weight is sometimes scary. You’ve heard of those questionable diet pills, teas, and even body creams that supposedly help you burn fat. But one of the most dangerous ways to slim down is prolonged fasting, and one man took it to the extreme when he stopped eating altogether for over a year! Angus Barbieri holds the Guinness World Record for the longest hunger strike, which lasted 382 days. Even now scientists don’t quite understand how he could live without food for such a long time and not harm his health. Most scientists are convinced that giving up food for more than 40 days can be extremely dangerous for our health. So, what was this man’s reason for doing something this risky and how he could live for such a long time without food? Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– In 1965, 27-year-old Angus Barbieri checked himself into Maryfield Hospital in Dundee, Scotland. His weight at the time was 456 pounds. He told the doctors that he was ready to refuse food to lose weight.
– At first, Barbieri wasn’t planning on fasting for too long. But days turned into weeks that turned into months. Barbieri kept on refusing food past the 40-day limit because he said that he felt okay.
– For the entire duration of this unconventional weight-loss journey, Barbieri took potassium, sodium, and vitamin supplements since he wasn’t getting any nutrients from food.
– The vitamin diet seemed to be working alright since Barbieri didn’t experience any problems that would require him to remain in the hospital. – He only had to go to the hospital regularly to get tests done. And the doctors did, in fact, notice a very low level of glucose in his blood. – On July 11, 1966, Angus Barbieri’s headline-making fast finally ended. After 382 days, the now unrecognizable man had lost a whopping 276 pounds. He’d reached his goal weight of 180 pounds. – At the end of his fast, Barbieri was looking forward to a vacation in Spain and a gradual return to eating with a careful eye on keeping his weight stable.
– But what really stunned everyone was that he was able to keep the weight off! But once Barbieri went back to eating normal meals, he only gained 15 pounds. – In theory, the human body can live on these fat stores until they run out. But after that, you get into really dangerous territory because it’ll start feeding on the muscles.
– People who start fasting often notice that at the initial stage, they have an unusual clarity of thought, almost as if their brains are working more efficiently. – To this day, there’s no scientific proof that fasting for longer than 40 days can do any good. In fact, there’s more proof that it’s extremely harmful. – But we can see the case of Angus Barbieri’s record-breaking fast as proof that the human body is a fascinating mechanism to say the least!

More A Man Who Refused to Eat for 382 Days and Lost 275 Pounds Videos

Recently, astronomers were able to map about 1 billion stars around us. Sounds impressive, but that’s less than 1% of the total stars in the Milky Way. So it’s statistically impossible for us to be the first intelligent species in the galaxy! But if there absolutely should be developed civilizations in the Universe, then where is everybody? We’ve been looking for about 70 years for any sign of extraterrestrial life, or any communication from little green men or whatever they are. And we still have absolutely nothing to show for it. How is this possible? That exact question was once asked by famous Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, the creator of the first ever nuclear reactor. Other videos you might like:

If aliens are out there, why we can’t communicate with them? 6:45
Are they already around us? 👽 9:17 #aliens #space #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– The Fermi Paradox has a lot of potential solutions. The first group is all about two big ideas: The Rare Earth Hypothesis and the idea of the Great Filter.
– Can you imagine, how much would have to fall into place for an advanced civilization to rise to our level? Let’s just say we hit a jackpot in all categories. – Jupiter is hugely beneficial to us. Its mass attracts all the space debris, meteors and comets like a giant vacuum cleaner. If not for it, the Earth would be bombarded with giant space rocks all the time. – The size of our planet and its speed of rotation make an optimal day and night cycle. Our planet has lots of chemical elements, crucial for the development of life. – Eventually, it’ll have beings that look at the skies from time to time and think that they probably aren’t alone in the Universe. – But these intelligent folks still won’t be the ultimate winners of this universal lottery. They still must develop technology to go into space and send signals. – Another solution is far more optimistic. Aliens are out there, but we just can’t communicate properly with them.
– What if they went through a significantly different route in technology; one that’s not even comprehensible for us. What if they did so because their own communication is different than ours?
– The next solution is far more possible. In basic terms, it proposes that we aren’t alone, but we are the first to advance our civilization to the needed level of technology.
– There’s also a funny argument that aliens are so unlike humans in their way of thinking that they simply don’t want to communicate with anyone else.
– And finally, the solution all fans of UFOs want to believe in – they really are common in the galaxy, but they can hide from us and maybe they’re already around us. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

Does the phrase, “Ouch, my back!” sound familiar to you?

However, there’s no need to take painkillers because you can always try to deal with this pain on your own. Here are simple tricks that will help you get rid of back pain in just 5 minutes.

Soak Your Feet! 7:54 #backpain #healthyspine #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Sit down on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Roll up a towel or blanket and slide it under your knees. Then put a pillow over your legs, bend your upper body forward, and curve your spine until your head touches the pillow.
– Lie down on the floor with your arms at your sides and your legs straight. Slide a yoga block or a plump cushion under your pelvis and gently relax your lower back down toward the floor. Stay in this position for 5 minutes or longer. – Sit down on the floor with your knees bent, and your feet positioned flat on the floor. While balancing on your buttocks, cross your left leg over your right one and lift both of them off the floor. After that, hold your left foot with your right hand and your right foot with your left hand and pull your legs toward your body as close as you can.
– Ever heard about acupressure? In short, there are particular points on your body that have a connection with different parts. You can find them exactly at the center of your knees' backside. Press them firmly with your thumbs and keep the pressure for 2-3 minutes while breathing deeply and regularly.
– First of all, get yourself a tennis ball. Sit down on the floor and put a ball under one of your buttocks. Start to gently roll your body forward and backward on the ball until you locate the point the pain is coming from. – Take a clothespin and place it on your ear's upper side. Keep it there for 5 seconds, then move it to the other ear. Do 5 reps for each ear.
– Take a tablespoon of castor or coconut oil and add several drops of lavender essential oil. Then use this mixture to gently massage the painful area.
– When you do stretching exercises, you loosen your back muscles, which helps get rid of persistent back pain. Hold each stretching pose for 30 seconds or longer, but remember that whatever you do, you shouldn't feel pain or discomfort. – Get a bucket and fill it with hot water (not too hot!). Add half a cup of Epsom salt to the water and stir it well. Sit down, put your feet in the water, and soak them for 5 to 7 minutes. Then take your feet out, rinse them with warm water, and cover them with a blanket or towel. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More 10 Things to Cure Your Back Pain in 5 Minutes Videos

Hey guys! Do you remember Charlie's story? His owners threw him away, and that's when he met Rocky and Oscar, the stray dogs. He lived out on the streets with them but then he got lucky and found his new human. So, today, you're gonna hear Rocky's story. Actually, he wasn't always a stray dog. Once he had owners, too. They were a young couple, and they’d bought him from a pet store when he was just a pup. Everything was good the first year or so – lots of playtime, treats, and toys galore! But then things got bad real quick. Sarah and Dan stopped giving him so much attention. And Rocky will never forget the day they got into that big truck with all those boxes and drove away… Other videos you might like:

– I ran up to meet her and get some head scratches. Plus, I was hoping she could open the door to our house and let me in. – I was hesitant to leave at first – I didn’t want Sarah and Dan to worry about me once they got back. But I was hungry too, so I went with the nice lady. – Ol’ Ilene was the sweetest human a dog could ever ask for! I made myself at home with her, and we did everything together! – On really nice days, she’d take me to the dog park and let me run around without my leash! Man, I could spend hours there playing with the other dogs from the block, sniffing trees, and flirting a bit with Daisy.
– But once, she didn’t wake up… The people in the big white truck took my sweet Ilene away. I knew what had happened – I could just sense it…
– Then Ilene’s daughter Karen and her husband Sam came over a few days later. They kept coming over, and sometimes they’d be with strangers. Then one day when the two came over, Karen was actually nice to me! She said, “Come on, boy, wanna go to the dog park?”
– It wasn’t long after that when I met Oscar. We hit it off immediately! We’d go looking for food behind restaurants and in different alleys, and it was in one of our regular spots that we ran into Charlie.
– Some people are pretty mean, though, or maybe they’re just scared of stray dogs because they think we’re dangerous or sick. – Some humans coming into our alley about 2 weeks ago. We couldn’t run, so we tried to hide under a cardboard box.
– But it turned out they were really good people! They took us to a shelter, where they gave us food and taught us really cool tricks!
– I soon learned that we were training to become therapy dogs. Not everyone can be trained to serve humans like that, you gotta have the right personality.
– Sure, humans can be cruel – I know that all-too well. But they can also be sweet and kind. No matter what happened to me, I still believe that! Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

– If there’s an emergency and you can’t get out, try to break the glass, but do it the right way. Don’t hit it in the center, but on the edges.
– If direct sunlight hits a plastic bottle, it can actually start a fire. This can happen because the water bottle acts like a lens that focuses the light coming through the window into one hot spot.
– It’s crucial to stay as close to the floor as possible during a fire to avoid breathing in poisonous smoke.
– If you let a bear chase you moving in circles, chances are it’ll give up trying to catch you, thinking you’re not worth its energy.
– A smell of fish or urine can come from electric wires melting, which can lead to a fire or even an explosion
– Sometimes the vegetable oil you use for frying can catch fire on a gas stove. You must cut off the fire’s supply of oxygen by putting something over the pan to smother the flames.
– Being in a freezing environment and at the same time putting something completely frozen into your body can quickly lead to hypothermia.
– If a tornado is approaching your area, obviously the best thing you can do is to rush to the nearest shelter or bunker, or get in the basement. If you’re looking for a place to hide inside your house, choose the bathtub.
– When the waterline is abnormally far from the shore, this is a sign of a tsunami.
– Non-venomous snakes have bifurcated scales on the abdominal side of the tail while the tails of their venomous counterparts are covered with non-bifurcated scales.
– If you’re trapped on thin ice and there’s no one to help you, start by lying down flat on your stomach and spread out your arms and legs.
– You’re standing on a hill, and suddenly your hair starts naturally rising in the air. This is a sign of the presence of electricity in the air, which often precedes a lightning strike.
– Who doesn’t listen to music while driving? It doesn't mean you should avoid music altogether, but don't choose upbeat, loud music that makes you want to dance. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More 16 Little-Known Facts That Will Save You from Danger One Day Videos

Why is it that any time you have to stop your car and wait for a train to cross, it’s always when you’re in a hurry? Hey, could be worse – you could have to wait for a train that really is over a mile long! And to make things even more “fun,” there’s no fixed timetable. So, the longest train in the world, measuring in at 1.5 miles (2.5 km), runs on the Mauritania Railway. Up until a few years ago, there was just one option for passengers to travel on this train, and that was to literally sit on top of it. Doesn’t exactly sound like my perfect vacay, but locals and adventurous tourists alike don’t seem to mind sitting on rocks for hours on end! Other videos you might like:

The fastest train in the world 7:49 #trains #Africa #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– This railway is incredibly important for Mauritania since the iron ore industry makes up half of all the country’s exports.
– If the train is empty and moving northeast to the mines, it takes 16 hours. If it’s fully loaded and headed to the coast, it’s 20 hours, almost an entire day! – You can choose to take a bunk in the only passenger car at the end of the train. It consists of cabins with 6 bunks in each. It only costs $3…but don’t expect much for such a small fee.
– People take bunks on a “first come first serve” basis, so don’t expect to be assigned a specific bed.
– It’s also a good idea to catch the train on its way from the coast to the mine because, otherwise, the cars will be full of iron ore and that stuff makes some pretty powerful dust that’s hard to wash off your face and clothes.
– The Sahara isn’t always hot like many people think. It is during the day, but it can be freezing at night. The wind is pretty strong too, so it’s a good idea to bring warm clothes and a thermos with you. – The Ghan runs for 1,850 miles (3000 km) across the entire continent, from the southern city of Adelaide to Darwin in the North. The journey takes 3 days and 2 nights to complete.
– America’s longest trains are neither passenger nor cargo. They’re those that once belonged to the Ringling Bros Circus!
– It took the circus crew about 6 hours to unload the lengthy train and 12 hours to set everything up for the show.
– How about giving the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway a try? Starting in the country’s capital of Moscow, you’ll travel more than 5,750 miles (9,250 km) over the span of a week
– If it’s not the length of the train or the journey but the speed that matters to you the most, then get yourself a ticket on China’s Shanghai-Maglev Train. It’s currently the fastest commercially operated train in the world. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More The World’s Longest Train Goes Through the Sahara Desert Videos

Do you know who invented the croissant? The French? And what about pizza? Well, it’s obviously 100% Italian, right? Well, if you said yes to both, you’re in for a culture shock. The croissant was everyone’s favorite outside of France until 1839 when Austrian entrepreneur August Zang started a Wien-style bakery in Paris. The pastry became everyone’s favorite in Paris, and then spread all over the country and basically turned into one of the symbols of France. As for pizza, it was the Greeks who invented it. Truth be told, the Greeks also derived the idea from someone else – the Egyptians made flat bread, but with no toppings. Roman soldiers brought “plakous” from Greece to Italy, and Italian immigrants introduced the rest of the world to it in the 19th century. Yep, quite a lot of things you were positive you knew the origins of, turn out to come from an entirely different country! Other videos you might like:

– Croissants have an Eastern European ancestor named “Kifli”, Hungarian for crescent. The big difference between that pastry and the one you love today, is that it was way heavier and made of bread dough. – Another culinary disappointment, or more like a surprise. The multiple-layered, delicious pastry that’s called the Danish in the US is known as “Copenhagener” in Germany and “Viennese” in Denmark! – Fortune cookies, as you know them, were really first introduced to the world in the 1890s or early 1900s by a Japanese landscape designer at a tea garden in San Francisco. – Similar to the croissant for France, Matryoshka (a.k.a Russian nesting dolls) is what comes to mind for most people when they hear “Russia”.
– Have you ever played Chinese checkers? It was an invention of a Harvard professor back in 1883.
– Venetian blinds don’t come from Italy at all. This stylish alternative for fabric curtains or shutters really comes from either Ancient Egypt or Persiaю
– Thousands of people across the world go shopping at a certain Swedish home store and finish their trip with a delicious meal with a local twist. Little do they know, they’re actually enjoying an ancient Turkish dishю
– One of the cutest pets alive wasn’t named after its homeland of Equatorial Guinea or Guinea Bissau. In fact, it doesn’t come from Africa at all, but has its ancestors in South America. – While some people “aw” at cute little guinea pigs, others prefer massive and impressive Great Danes. Their 16th century name was “English Dogges” but they’re originally German. – Ironically, it was not France where the first French poodle was bred, but Germany! The original name of the breed was “Pudelhund” and it means “water-splashing dog”.
– Another not so French invention you thought came from the land of croissants – French fries come from Belgium! – You must have learned by now not to trust the name when it comes to the origins of things. Arabic numbers are another example of that. The West has been using them since the 1100s, and they were invented in India, not some Middle Eastern land.
– Pizza has been the Italian thing from Ancient Roman times – no doubt about that – but it was the Greeks who invented it. Their ancient chronicles mention “plakous” – a flat bread topped with olive oil, herbs, onion, cheese and garlic. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More 13 Things That You Thought Come from the Wrong Country Videos

Alright you gamblers! What do you think is the probability of getting hit by a meteorite? Would you even bet on that? According to scientists, you have higher chances to get struck by lightning, hit by a tornado, and blown away by a hurricane — all at the same time. However, there was one person who got this lucky chance! Um, maybe we shouldn’t exactly say “lucky” here? In the early hours of November 30, 1954, a meteorite hit the roof of a home in the small town of Syl-a-cauga. The house's owner, Eugene Hodges, rushed home, only to find a huge crowd of gawkers looking at his dwelling, agitated and pointing fingers. He had to push them away from his doorstep to get to his wife, Ann, who was still inside. When Eugene opened the front door, what he saw shocked him. Other videos you might like:

– Ann was laying on her couch, obviously in pain, an enormous bruise on her side. The roof had a large round hole in it, as if something big crashed through it. – Everyone was in near panic because of the event. Some believed it was just a part of a wrecked airplane that fell somewhere around, while others thought it was a missile attack or something.
– The doctors who treated her confirmed a severe bruise, but nothing life-threatening. The meteorite itself was taken by the police and given to the US Air Force for inspection. There, experts confirmed it was indeed a chunk of space rock. – Up to this day, Ann Hodges remains the only human to have ever been struck by a meteorite in the known history. – Anyway, meteorites are extremely rare guests on our planet, mostly thanks to the layers of atmosphere that protect us from space assaults. – One of the most spectacular examples of a meteor explosion was in 2013 in Chelyabinsk, Russia. – Nobody really understood what was happening, and the confusion reached its peak when the shockwave struck. It sounded like a cannon shot, and the ground shook, rolling through the whole city. – It was estimated that the explosion was about 30 times more powerful than an atomic bomb. – But that wasn’t even the most powerful meteor strike witnessed by humans in the recent history. That one happened in the beginning of the 20th century, and it was also in Russia — namely, Tunguska, Siberia.
– To understand the sheer scale of the explosion, just imagine that a huge rock, weighing over 220 million pounds, entered the Earth’s atmosphere at the speed of 33,500 mph, and heated the air around it to the whopping 44,500°F.
– The space rock that exploded in the sky above Siberia was twice the size of the Chelyabinsk meteor and almost ten times as heavy. – There were, of course, even more powerful and horrifying meteor events, such as one that presumably killed off the dinosaurs millions of years ago, but these two are probably the most impressive strikes in human history.
– However, rest assured: nothing big is coming our way in the near future, so we shouldn’t worry about meteorites any time soon. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-
