10 bad things that turn out to be good
(LiveScience.com) - All things have good benefits. That’s for sure. And as proof, here are 10 things that appear to be bad but may be really good for you after all.
1. Beer. Moderate intake of beer can improve the cardiovascular function. Too much beer, well, I guess you all know what happens.
2. Anger. Studies show that bursts of anger are good for the health. It is a more effective coping mechanism than being afraid, irritated or disgusted. But of course, it should be moderate. If you stay angry for too long, you get high blood pressure, sleep problems and lung damage.
3. Coffee. It’s not just to fire you up in the morning or to keep you awake at night. It actually helps lower the risk of diabetes and is a major source of antioxidants in your daily diet.
4. LSD. For heavy drinkers, LSD can help bypass the rock-bottom stage of alcoholism and prevent relapses.
5. Sunlight. We all know that sunlight has health benefits. One indirect effect of sunlight is that it boosts the mood of a person and also, it helps suppress the reactions that cause asthma. Too much will lead to skin cancer.
6. Maggots. Yes they are creepy but if you place them on wounds, they act like extra healing powers. They eat bacteria and dead tissue. This will lead to healing and a good prevention of infection.
7. Marijuana. This is for medicinal purpose of course. It is being studied so that it can be used to stave off memory loss.
8. Red wine. It is known as an effective counter to cancer and it is good in protecting the artery.
9. Chocolate. They prevent arteries from clogging and they are packed with antioxidant flavonols that prevent cancers.
10. Sex. Aside from the evolutionary purposes, sex is an easy way to reduce stress, lower cholesterol and improve circulation throughout the body.
