Q1 Iseating raw spinach good for you? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitalsSat As we all know, spinachis the vegetable with the highest oxalic acid content, and its oxalicacid content is as high as 0.97%. When oxalic acid enters the body, it combines with calcium. Not onlyhinders calcium absorption, but also forms calcium oxalate. The solubility ofcalcium oxalate is very low, which can easily cause kidney stones and urinarytract stones. Therefore, although spinachcan be eaten raw, it is best to eat cooked spinach. Many nutritionists believe that steaming and boiling is an effectivecooking method that can reduce the oxalic acid in spinach by 80% to 90%. Q2 Whyare vegetables still healthy after being cooked? Do vitamins survive cooking?Is it the same for meat? A2 Alice Twain Eating andcooking for 40 years. Wed Yes, vitamins for the most partsurvive cooking. Actually, some vitamins concentrate with cooking. Some others are notstable at high temperatures, but you don’t completely obliterate them. That’sthe case for C vitamin. It’s interesting that for the most part the vitaminswhich are most sensitive to heat are provided by fruits (which we usually eatraw) and those that survive better to cooking are found in vegetables, whichcan be had raw or cooked. Besides,vegetables and fruits provide minerals and fibers. Meat instead hasvery little vitamins. It’s basically proteins and some fat. Vitamins found inanimal-derived foods are mainly found in dairy, eggs, fish, seafood, and offal.That’s why you shouldeat less meat and more of the rest. Q3 Whyis a new born baby not immediately bathed by a doctor or nurse even though thebaby is still covered in blood? A3 Sangram Sagar Dec 13 When the baby is still in the womb, the baby's body will be wrapped in a layer of fat called VernixCaseosa. This layer of fat contains proteins that function to protectthe baby's skin from bacteria and prevent the baby's skin from wrinkling whilestill in the womb.Thislayer is also useful for making it easier for the baby to get out of themother's stomach. When the baby is born, this layer will still beattached to the baby's skin. Usually, the nurse will not clean the layer but instead let it drybecause this layer also functions as a natural lotion that can keep the baby'sskin smooth, clean, and protected from germs. Usually, Professional Doctors and Nurses will definitely know about thisand will advise parents notto bathe the baby. Health organizations even suggest that new- bornsshould not be cleaned for 6-24 hours. If you want to be cleaned, parents can only clean bloodspots. Clean lightly, do not rub too deep.Source: Dr. FitriyanaElbana, thank you Q4 Whyis vitamin C useful for the immune system?

A8 4 Answers Simon Khoury,Father, Dentist, Pro-EV/Renewables, 3D Printer, Chia Farmer Answered Jun 20,2019 It needs to be able to tumble the items inside, as the machine spinsaround. If it's underloaded it will wash just fine. The items tumble and get well coveredin water. If itsoverloaded and the clothing cannot tumble then potentially some parts won't get washed,and the dirt won't get chance to be rinsed from the clothes. So under loading is inefficient, why wash just 4 socks in a whole washingmachine? But overloading is counter productive as none of the contents will getwashed well. Somemachines weigh the load and reduce water quantities to save energy. That'sgreat. But they won't add a lot more water if it overloaded. 2ND ANSWER BetsyMegas , I prefer to wear cleanclothes.Updated Oct 11, 2017 If your clothes are delicates, you probably do not want a lot of frictioninvolved in the scrubbing. They're probably not very dirty, either, assumingyou don't garden in your good silk blouse. You don't say whether you have a top-loader or front-loader. I would guess that having someminimum quantity of stuff being washed makes more difference in a top loader.Picture one or two things being swished around in a big bucket of water, whichis essentially what a top-loader is doing. Nothing touches anything else, so atbest you're getting sort of a moving soak. Now picture a handful of stuff withjust enough water to cover. Now you have things moving against other thingswhen the agitator swishes them around. If you are doing a small load in atop-loader, definitely adjust the water as low as it can go and still cover theclothes. It's ok to open the lid and peek in during the cycle, so you can seehow the water level matches the amount of clothing you have. In a front-loader, the washingaction is accomplished by tumbling the clothes, and the water level is usually adjusted automatically, so there's acertain amount of "puddle" once all the clothes are saturated, sowashing a very small load may make less of a difference. It's ok to pause thecycle and open a front-loader, too, if yours doesn't have a window. Regardless of which machine youhave, if you're only washing a small load, be sure to dial down the amount ofsoap you use. At best,it won't rinse out too well if you use too much. In a front-loader, a thicklayer of suds means that your tumbling laundry is landing on a nice, softcushion. That's why you should use low-sudsing HE detergent or scale way backon soap in a front-loader. Front loaders also use a lot less water, so they need a lot less soapto have the same concentration. If you have only one or two delicate things to wash, though, considerdoing them by hand. Let them soak in a sink or dishpan of soapy water for a fewminutes (bars of laundry soap are still available and inexpensive), and swish themaround a little bit or focus on spills and spots, if you think they need it. Then, rinse them through,squeeze (do not wring) them to get most of the water out, and air dry. It's byfar the gentlest process for your delicates, and it takes less time thanwaiting out a full wash cycle for one or two things. There is also nothing wrong with washing a delicate load with a fewnot-so-delicate items, as long as nothing has much stronger colors thaneverything else and everything is of a similar weight. Put things in laundrybags (also called sweater bags or lingerie bags) if you need to keep them fromtangling or catching on one another, and wash like weights with like. You couldfill up your load a little if you bag up your delicate blouse and wash it witha few button-down business shirts or pillow cases in similar colors. The latterwill still get clean and won't disturb your blouse the way that a heap of jeansand towels might. 3RD ANSWER- JamesMcfeley, works at Plumbing AnsweredMar 11, 2012 The action of the rotating drumand direction changes is what cleans your cloths not the interaction with othercloths. You might think of your clothes more like asponge, you have to soak it and squeeze it multiple times. The friction fromother clothes helps to wear clothes out. Now a dryer may be different. Sometimes when you dry only a few itemsthey do not tumble but stick the sides like in a salad spinner. 4TH ANSWER-CurtMueller, Appliance repair and cleaning Specialist Answered Sep 5, 2020 No. A washer can wash just aswell on a 1/4 load if the water level is set to low. It’s important to match the load size with thewater level. It’s possible to damage the washer and clothes if water level istoo low and load size is large. Q9 Demographics:Why are there more women than men in the world? A9 Mats Andersson Lived in4 different countries Dec 11 There are more males born. So the answer is that men die younger. As to why, there are two reasons. The first one is that males have a Y chromosome (we’re talking about“males” in the genetics sense here, of course). It lacks abit that the X chromosome has. Male mammals have to rely on the intact Xchromosome to work properly. If a gene is damaged on that “leg” of the Xchromosome, women (defined here as XX individuals) nearly always have afunctioning copy on their other X chromosome that can take up the function;males don’t and will have to make do with the damaged one. This is a permanent, unfixabledisadvantage for males. Most will not be affected, but enough to skewthe numbers.The second oneis that human evolution has given a slight favour to males who are risk-seekers.Our biology and social structure are built so that females can always be assured of having offspring,while males can in certain circumstances monopolise access to females. (Thiswas probably more prevalent under some earlier stage in our evolution: malesare slightly bigger than females, indicating that males have had to competephysically over females, but the discrepancy is nowhere near as big as in ourclose relatives the gorillas, and we seem to be evolving away from that.) Underthose conditions, it actually pays for males to take risks in order to haveoffspring—but the very same risks are, well, risks, and sometimes they resultin no offspring at all by reason of the male being dead. And that’s ultimately why testosteronemakes men more accident-prone. Both of those lead to men dyingoff faster than women. Thesecond one is more important at younger ages, while the first one is moreimportant for infants and toddlers, and in old age. Q10 Whyis the ship's speed unit in knots, not km per hour? A10 Sangram Sagar Dec 12 The earth is round. Because of this, the ship from afar asit moved closer, would appear to be slowly rising upwards. >From the angle between the ship and the horizon, we can estimate theship's >distance. If you use a calculator, you can get the numbers in metricunits. The >problem isthat in the past there were no calculators. That's why at sea it is >difficultto calculate distance using metric units. The easiest is to calculate >the distance betweenobjects in the sea using degrees. You can measure it using >a telescope. One full circle has 360°. That means the north-south pole distance is180°. One degree is subdivided into 60 arc minutes. One arc minute is called 1 nautical mile. One nautical mile per hour is calleda knot. Knots can also be measured using a telescope. It's just a matterof how much the angle changes between the ship and the horizon every hour. Because calculating knots is easier,for use at sea, it is more popular than km/h. Additional: these knots can be used to measure the speed ofother ships (if the speed of the ship itself can use GPS).Forexample, if you are a pirate and want to know if you can catch another ship, itis better if the speed of both ships is measured using the same units.
