We used to think that high cholesterol is associated with unhealthy lifestyle. Well – known fact- to live a long happy life, you need to eat more vegetables and fruits, to exercise regularly.

In addition to genetics, the formation of mental capacity is also affected by the relationship between the child and mother. Than it is stronger, the better the kids solve complex problems.

4. Love for coffee.

It can be caused genetically. Scientists have found that the owners of the PDSS2 gene drank less coffee than those who do not. This gene is responsible for the breakdown of caffeine, causing the substance to remain longer in the body.
