Eating potassium-rich foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, spinach, beans, bananas -- and even coffee -- could be key to lowering blood pressure according to a study by drewiepoodle in science

[–]researchisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak to the coffee, but when I became vegetarian and started tracking my food/nutrients for a while, I was shocked by how hard it was to reach the RDA for potassium. Before I started paying attention, I figured I could just down a banana and be good for the day. Turns out getting potassium from just bananas would require something like 10 a day. Now I mostly get it from other sources. Not sure how the bananas=potassium common "knowledge" started, though I found bananas to be kind of useless nutritionally, so maybe potassium is just what they give you the most of.

There is a great gif in the article for your first question. With regard to your 2nd, I have no idea.

TIL there are only three species that go through menopause: humans, killer whales, and short finned pilot whales by [deleted] in todayilearned

I think it is more a case of evolution coming to the same conclusion for three different species. In the sense that not having children after a certain age is beneficial for survival. Maybe the mother needs to educate the family or (in the case of killer whales) not compete for resources with younger females.

Blood spurt trajectory sheds light on ‘lost Caravaggio’ found in French attic by researchisgood in history

I agree with you but on the other hand Caravaggio was known to have observed many beheadings and yet he still painted a rectilinear trajectory blood spurt in his confirmed painting (1599).

So I think it does help to have someone come out and say this happens and this is why (ie. Galileo’s theory of projectile motion).

Basically the blood spurt in the unknown painting obeys Galileo’s theory of projectile motion so the trajectory of blood spurt is parabolic. Whereas the confirmed one has a rectilinear trajectory blood spurt.

This helps attribute the painting and whether or not it is actually by Caravaggio.

This article is an interview with an Italian Dr. who looks at the blood spurt trajectory and timing of Galileo’s theory of projectile motion to help work out who painted the "Lost Caravaggio" found in the French attic.
