This holiday is said to date back to 1623, but it was not until 1863, during the Civil War, that it became an official federal holiday, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day for "Gratitude and Prayer to Our Father."
Bemorepanda has collected 20 interesting things about Thanksgiving Day. Let's see this collection together.

Planet Earth is part of the solar system, is the largest terrestrial planet, formed about 4.57 billion years ago and is the densest planet in the entire solar system. Read general information about planet Earth.
Planet Earth revolves around the sun in 365.26 days, and this period is known as one year. During all this time, the Earth rotates about its axis about 366.26 times. During gravity, the Earth interacts with other objects in space, especially the Sun and Moon, the Earth's only natural satellite.
Seasons appear on Earth because its axis of rotation is inclined relative to its orbital plane. The gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon stabilizes the Earth's orientation on its axis and gradually slows down its rotation.
The Earth's surface is 71% covered with water, mainly by the oceans, and the remaining 29% is made up of continents and islands that, along with other rivers and water sources, contribute to the hydrosphere.

The name of the planet Earth does not derive from Greek or Roman mythology, as is the case with the other planets that were named after gods and goddesses from Greco-Roman mythology. The word "earth" comes from the Latin word "pavimentum", which means "paved earth" or "level", "floor", "paved road", "smooth place", "pavement", "mosaic" or "weft".
Since its formation, the Earth has undergone many geological and biological processes. The Earth's atmosphere and oceans were formed by volcanic activity and expulsion. From here, water vapor condensed into oceans amplified with water and ice from asteroids, comets and protoplants.
More than 3.5 billion years ago, the Earth's magnetic field stabilized, and this prevented the solar wind from scattering the atmosphere.
Approximately 4.5 billion years old, the Earth was formed when a cloud of dust collapsed due to gravity, and like planets such as Mercury, Venus, and Mars, the planet Earth is a rocky, central core. which is surrounded by a mantle and a solid crust.

The shape is approximately oblique spheroidal and, due to the rotation, the Earth is flattened at the poles and bulging around the equator. Its diameter at the equator is 43 kilometers, larger than the pole-pole diameter.
The main deviations from the Earth's surface are: Mount Everest, 8,850 meters above sea level and the Marianas Pit, 10,924 meters below sea level.
The Earth's mass consists mainly of iron (32.1%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (15.1%), magnesium (13.9%), sulfur (2.9%), nickel (1 , 8%), calcium 1.5%), aluminum (1.4%), the remaining 1.2% consisting of small amounts of other elements. Due to mass segregation, it is estimated that the core consists mainly of iron (88.8%), with smaller amounts of nickel (5.8%), sulfur (4.5%) and less than 1% trace elements.
The total area of the Earth is about 510 million square kilometers, of which 70.8% and 361.13 square kilometers are below sea level and covered with ocean, the remaining 29.2% and 148.94 million square kilometers, respectively it is not covered by water and consists of mountains, plains, deserts, plateaus and other landforms.

Due to the swelling of the earth at the equator, the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador (20,700 feet or 6,310 meters) is the farthest point from the center of the Earth. Thus, the mountain claims the title of being "the highest point on Earth" (although Mount Everest is still the highest point above sea level). Mt. Chimorazo is an extinct volcano and is located about a degree south of the equator.
While at sea level, the boiling point of water is 212 F, it changes if you are higher than that. How much does it change? For every 500 feet of elevation increase, the boiling point decreases by one degree. Thus, in a city 5,000 meters above sea level, the water boils at 202 F.
The fourth most populous country in the world has the largest Muslim population. About 87% of Indonesia's population is Muslim; Thus, with a population of 216 million, Indonesia is home to about 188 million Muslims. The religion of Islam spread to Indonesia in the Middle Ages.

The deepest lake in the United States is Crater Lake in Oregon. Crater Lake is located in the collapsed crater of an ancient volcano called Mount Mazama and is 1,932 feet (589 meters) deep.
The clear water of Crater Lake has no streams to feed it and no streams as springs - it has been filled and sustained by rainfall and melting snow. Located in southern Oregon, Crater Lake is the seventh deepest lake in the world and contains 4.6 trillion gallons of water.
In 1947, the British left South Asia and divided their territory into independent countries in India and Pakistan. The Muslim regions on the east and west sides of Hindu India have become part of Pakistan.
The two separate territories were part of a single country, but were known as East and West Pakistan and were separated by more than 1,609 km. After 24 years of turmoil, East Pakistan declared independence and became Bangladesh in 1971.

Because the longitude lines converge at the North and South Poles, it is almost impossible (and very impractical) to determine which time zone you are in based on longitude.
Therefore, researchers in the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the Earth typically use the time zone associated with their research stations. For example, because almost all flights to Antarctica and the South Pole come from New Zealand, New Zealand time is the most common time zone in Antarctica.
The longest river in Russia and Europe is the Volga River, which flows entirely in Russia for 3,685 km (2,290 miles). Its source is in the Valdai Hills, near the town of Rzhev, and flows into the Caspian Sea in southern Russia.
The Volga River is navigable for much of its length and, with the addition of dams, has become important for energy and irrigation. The canals connect it to the Don River, as well as the Baltic Sea and the White Sea.

Worrying about your health and a prosperous old age with a minimum of pills and trips to clinics and hospitals is one of the most critical intellectual investments that can only be made to a person throughout his life. And it's never too early to start here, but in some cases, it's already too late; however, as they say, better late than never.
About nutrition, sports, aging, and more
And it's good that people in recent years are more and more often asking the right questions about a healthy lifestyle and the health problems they face, and do not want them to break them. With modern medicine, most of these difficulties are entirely solvable or at least allow you to extend life in those cases in which 30-40 years ago there would have been no chance. And do not forget about sports and a healthy lifestyle. This is the BASIS for a happy life and old age for any person!
So, we've rounded up some actionable solutions to the real problems that plague the minds of those over 50. It's time to answer some of them.
Self-care, proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle
1. I'm in my 50s, but to be honest, I still feel young. At what age should you start taking your health seriously?
Right now would be a good start. If you didn't get tested last year, start there. Get your blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol levels checked and get checked out.
2. I heard doctors don't worry about high cholesterol anymore. Is this true?
No. High cholesterol levels, especially LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, continue to be a marker for increased risk of heart disease. And preliminary results from a 2022 study of more than 750 older adults found a link between high cholesterol and an increased risk of dementia.
3. Do all these “healthy lifestyles” really help me live longer? My uncle ate bacon every morning and lived to be 87 years old.
It's not just about how long you live; it's about how well you live. A 2019 BMJ (British Medical Journal ) study of more than 110,000 people since the 1980s found that those who followed a healthy lifestyle, such as controlling their weight, exercising, and not smoking, lived disease-free much longer after passing the milestone of 50 years (plus 30 years or more) than people who did not adopt these habits (plus 23 years).
4. What is the best diet? Is it keto? Paleo?
Healthy Eating Rule Number One: No fancy diets, weird food plans, just common sense. A recent analysis of a 1995 study found that those who ate more fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and less red and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, and sodium slowed their aging at the cellular level.
“Foods like sugar and highly processed flour can cause inflammation in your body and are usually also high in calories,” explains registered dietitian Marianne Walsh.
5. I heard that cutting calories is linked to longevity. Does this mean that I should fast?
Numerous studies have shown that long-term calorie restriction can reduce metabolic function and slow cellular aging in rats! Human trials have been limited.
A 2019 study in The Lancet found that people who reduced their calorie intake by 12 percent had lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increased insulin sensitivity, and were less likely to have inflammation.
True, the two-year study included only 238 people, and the oldest of them was 50. In addition, calorie-restricted diets can cause muscle loss, leading to weight gain and other unhealthy consequences.
The best solution: don't starve or go on extreme diets; try to eliminate the unnecessary calories you usually consume and switch to healthier foods, especially fruits and vegetables. A good starting point is to cut back on snacking out of boredom, anxiety, or habit. Instead, warm up or go for a walk.
6. I know what I should eat, but how can I continue to eat what I like?
In most cases, you can eat whatever you want. You don't have to eat as much as you want. You should also include fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains, and fish in your diet to reduce inflammation and control calories.
7. Skipping breakfast is the new diet trend. Is it good for me?
Bad idea. Breakfast is essential for several reasons, one of the main ones being fiber intake. A 2021 Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine study found that those who eat breakfast and eat more than 25 grams of fiber daily have a 21 percent lower risk of dying from various causes than those who skip breakfast.
And a meta-analysis of studies has shown that with each new day of the week when you skip breakfast, the risk of developing diabetes increases.
8. Do I need all these prescription drugs?
One in five adults aged 40 and over takes at least five prescriptions in the US. The risk comes when you have multiple prescribers, and there's no direct connection between them, says Amy Taggart Blashchik, director of geriatrics at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy.
Keep a written list of all prescription and over-the-counter drugs and supplements you take, including frequency and dosage. Review this list with each of your primary care physicians.
9. How can I eat a healthy diet on a tight budget?
Frozen fish and vegetables are generally cheaper than fresh, come in handy portion packs (no more throwing away half-full containers of spoiled spinach), and keep for weeks.
10. I have mountains of various vitamins in my locker. Isn't that enough?
No. Research has shown again and again that pills work differently from food. Example: A 2019 study of over 30,000 adults found that healthy levels of vitamins A and K, as well as the minerals magnesium and zinc, may be associated with a lower risk of death, but only from food, not pills.
Scientists don't fully understand why, but it may have some connection to how food's nutrients interact.
11. Do you mean that vitamin pills are useless?
For a man over 50? There is a strong possibility of this, with one exception: vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency in the elderly is estimated at around 20 to 100 percent. Sunlight and food are not enough for many people to reach the recommended minimum of 600 IU daily, so ask your doctor if a vitamin D3 supplement might be good for you.
12. What about my fish oil tablets? I have read that they cannot prevent heart attacks. Truth?
Unexplained fact. A 2020 JAMA study of more than 13,000 people at high risk for heart disease (mean age: 63 years) compared groups taking a regular omega-3 formulation with a placebo and found no benefit from fish oil.
However, other studies, including a 2019 analysis of over 127,000 people, found that taking omega-3 supplements derived from fish oil reduced the risk of heart attacks and death from heart disease.
Bottom line: Eat more fish and omega-3-rich foods like nuts and seeds, but it's also okay to talk to your doctor about omega-3 supplements.
13. Is there any secret to getting quality medical care?
Find good doctors whose results you like or your friends are satisfied with, and let them work with you for as long as possible (ideally for life).
Continuity of care is associated with fewer ER calls, better treatment adherence, and longer life expectancy.
Fitness: maintaining health
14. OK - more healthy food, a good doctor, and watch your pills. What other lifestyle change can I make today that will help the most?
Come out for a walk. A sedentary lifestyle with low overall physical activity increases the risk of premature death as much as smoking, high blood pressure, and heart disease. An analysis of studies of people aged 54 to 65 showed that watching TV for more than four hours a day can increase the likelihood of blood clots in the thigh and lower leg by 35 percent.
15. All I need to exercise is a long walk.
Yes and no. Research has shown that moderate activity like walking has enormous health benefits, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. A little over 20 minutes of brisk walking daily will help you achieve your desired result.
“Doing the same activities every day over time has its benefits, but there may be more benefits to doing the same,” said Jordan Metzl, MD, a sports medicine specialist at the New York City Hospital for Special Surgery. “Performing various activities, especially as you get older, will challenge your body, lead to better fitness and health benefits, and help you avoid injury.”
He recommends alternating weight training, swimming or cycling, and yoga.
16. I wouldn't say I like gyms, loud music, and sweaty people. What else can I do to stay mobile?
Play tennis or any other agile (but not very traumatic) sport. “Mobility is the lower body, and the entire lower body is interconnected,” Metzl says. Unlike running or cycling, tennis moves you in all directions by exercising your hips, glutes, and legs from different angles. Basketball is another option. Also, make a few multidirectional lunges (forward, side to side, and back) first thing in the morning.
17. Is there a 100% non-sweatshop way to improve your health?
Floss your teeth every day. According to the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study, untreated oral diseases led people aged 50 to 74 worldwide to live 8 million years of life “with a disability” in 2019.
18. What is a decent fitness goal for people in their 50s?
If you dream of running a marathon, that's great. But among those big goals, there's a more straightforward goal, Metzl says: “Start exercising and don't stop. Lay the foundation and keep building for the next 30 years. Then you can set more specific goals.”
19. I go in for sports but have not lost weight. It seems pointless
Weight loss occurs primarily through eating healthier foods and fewer unhealthy calories. The sports medicine specialist explains that exercise significantly reduces the risk of age-related health problems, from bone loss to heart disease and back pain.
Aging: looking after your appearance
24. What is a "healthy" sex drive for a man over 50?
If your current sex drive makes you happy, it's okay anyway, notes gynecologist-oncologist Elizabeth Poynor, MD. If it's low and upsetting, it's time to find the root cause of your low libido and fix it.
“Not everyone needs to have a lot of sex to be healthy and happy,” adds Poynor. "It's very individual."
25. I wouldn't say I like getting older. What is wrong with me?
How old do you feel? Research shows that feeling younger than your biological age is excellent and is associated with better mental and physical health, cognition, and life satisfaction.
A 10-year study of almost 3,600 people found that those who started with higher subjective age and depression experienced more health problems later. If you are depressed and “feel” older most of the time, seek professional help.
26. What can I do about the stress in my life?
Rethink your response to daily challenges. A 2020 study found that people experiencing "unbearable" stress lost almost three years of life expectancy. Always remember that stress is not a demanding boss; it is your reaction to stimuli.
You have two options: eliminate the source of stress, or learn how to respond to it more healthily.
27. I try to "stay young" in how I live and think. Is this real?
People in their 50s and 70s in many parts of the world are now “the first cohorts to grow up with better educations, better health care, and different lifestyles,” Diehl says. This has resulted in older people looking and acting much younger than people of their age in previous generations.
28. I'm thinking about a surgical "refresh," but is cosmetic surgery safe?
In the US, 2.3 million procedures of this kind were performed in 2020, and surveys show that about 90 percent of patients are satisfied with their results and, in general, cosmetic surgery is safe. A study of over 26,000 cosmetic procedures found that only about 1% of patients experienced complications within 48 hours of surgery.
29. My husband refuses to talk about his health or go to the doctor. Is he hiding something?
According to a Cleveland Clinic survey, half of the men say they don't talk about their health. “Not knowing there is a problem may be preferable to the discomfort of realizing there is,” says Harvard clinical psychologist Natalie Christine Dattilo.
Forget about feelings of guilt and requests; you will only cause resentment on the part of the man. Try to radiate a calm, supportive, and loving atmosphere. Be a good role model, and you might be able to get through to him.
30. How can I eliminate this chronic fatigue I picked up during the pandemic?
Eat nutritious food. Drink plenty of water. And get exercise—the daily movement of your body builds the physical and emotional resilience you need to get through chronic fatigue.
31. I had COVID last winter and still feel out of sorts. Is it a post-covid syndrome?
Evidence suggests that more than half of COVID-19 survivors end their illness experience with acute post-COVID syndrome. It is characterized by long-term breathing problems, brain fog, headaches, and joint pain. Studies show that the virus can persist in the heart, brain, and cerebrospinal fluid for months after clearing the initial infection. If you have persistent health problems after COVID, see your doctor.
32. I don't feel as cheerful at work as I used to. What can I do?
Consider different ways to revitalize your career. This could mean a move to a new division, a promotion, or a move to another field altogether. Upgrading your skillset can also organically increase your energy levels and engagement at work.
33. How can I avoid becoming a nightmare for my children?
"Tell them, 'My passwords are here, here's my financial situation, these are the medications I'm taking,'" explains certified care manager Amy Cameron O'Rourke. Make these questions part of your annual family gathering because what you want at 55 may change when you turn 75.”
34. My loved one and I broke up because our values don't match. How to do a reboot?
According to a survey conducted by Cornell University sociologist Carl Palmer, about 27 percent of American adults are divorced. Regardless of what caused your breakup, seek to rekindle the relationship by reaching out your hand and saying, "My relationship with you is more important than the topic we disagreed about." Overcoming a family feud will do more than resurrect your relationship—it can make you healthier.
Health: disease resistance
35. I have hypertension. Are blood pressure cuffs worth the money?
Yes. A 10-year study in 2021 involving 11,502 people aged 45 to 60 found that those with the lowest cumulative systolic BP scores lived 4.1 years longer, and those with heart diseases were pushed back by 5.4 years. Blood pressure measurement will remind you and show you what to do to keep it within the normal range.
36. What is the first sign of heart disease?
There are many factors, such as sudden fatigue, trouble sleeping, shortness of breath, indigestion, and chest pain, says Suzanne Steinbaum, an osteopathic cardiologist. Pay special attention if the last three symptoms occur during your activity and if they disappear during rest.
37. I like to have a glass of wine in the evening. A little wine is good for my heart.
Probably no. The American Heart Association does not recommend the consumption of alcohol in any form to improve health. Research is starting to coalesce around the idea that light to moderate drinking may not help prevent heart disease — so much so that the World Heart Federation stated in 2022 that “no level of alcohol is safe” for your heart health.
38. Is it possible to be healthy while leading an idle and relaxed lifestyle?
It all depends on the intensity of this idle lifestyle. Relaxing from time to time is possible, but the frequency of entertainment and its focus is the question. If this is due to alcohol and spending nights in clubs, you should not be surprised that health will say, sooner or later: "Hello."
39. Sometimes, I smoke a cigarette. Does it matter?
Yes. A review of 141 studies found that people who smoke just one cigarette a day have half the risk of cardiovascular disease as people who smoke 20 cigarettes.
40. Does "pre-diabetes" mean that you will get diabetes?
There are no guarantees, but there is plenty of evidence that lifestyle changes now (with prediabetes) can dramatically change the direction your health is headed. For example, preliminary results from a 2022 study of more than 8,700 people showed a strong association between cardiorespiratory fitness and improved health in the early symptoms of type 2 diabetes: the higher the fitness level, the lower the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
41. What is an easy and low-tech way to measure your health?
Waist-to-height ratio. Aim for a waist circumference less than half of your height.
42. How worried should I be about cancer in my 50s?
The median age at which cancer is diagnosed is 66, meaning that half of all cases occur in younger people. During these years, it is essential to pay attention to cervical cancer (average age of diagnosis: 50 years) and breast cancer (average age of diagnosis: 63 years).
43. So, should I get screened regularly for cancer in my family?
The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for several types of cancer, including breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancers. There is evidence that screening tests can detect these cancers early and affect treatment and survival.
44. What about prostate cancer? Should I have a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test?
Yes. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, other than skin cancer, and affects men under the age of 65 in 40 percent of cases. However, nearly 99 percent of prostate cancers are treatable if caught early. And don't panic if your PSA is elevated. According to the National Institutes of Health, most men with elevated PSA levels do not have cancer, and only 25% of prostate biopsies show cancer.
45. My mother completely lost her sight before she died. How to protect your eyes?
See an ophthalmologist for an eye exam every year, says Kenneth Dickerson, Ph.D. of the Flaum Eye Institute at the University of Rochester. Most eye diseases, such as macular degeneration, imperceptibly steal vision; a person does not immediately go blind. Without seeing a doctor, you won't know you have a disease until it's in its final stages.
46. Speaking of feelings, what can I do about tinnitus?
Alas, there is no 100% cure for this disease. However, ask your doctor about neuromodulation, in which the device simultaneously delivers electrical stimulation to the tongue and auditory signals to both ears. A 2020 study found that this therapy reduced tinnitus symptoms over 12 weeks.
Brain power: keep the mind sharp
47. What can I do first to prevent dementia?
Go to bed by 22:00.
“The earlier you go to bed, the more NREM sleep you will have,” says Sarah Mednick, professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, and author of The Power of Consciousness.
Slow-wave sleep improves brain health by clearing toxins and other dementia-causing buildup and developing connections between brain regions to create stronger memories.
This phase also keeps the circadian clock in check and stops around 1 am, so you must go to bed early to maximize your stay.
In other words, you can't close your eyes at midnight and expect three hours of healthy memory-protecting sleep.
The majority of respondents aged 50 to 79 said they were afraid of losing their mental or physical abilities, becoming a burden on their families, and giving up their independence. As one participant wrote about Alzheimer's, "I'm scared to think that I might lose myself."
48. I try to go to bed earlier, but I have noticed that I sleep less now that I am over 50. Is this fine?
Yes, it's completely normal. At age 20, you need eight to nine hours of sleep each night. Older people need about an hour less, notes Nalaka Guneratne, MD, a sleep medicine physician and geriatrician at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
49. About that wine at night: it's still good for my brain.
No, it's not. A study of more than 25,000 people in the UK found that alcohol consumption hurt brain size and structure and that those who were heavy drinkers or overweight with high blood pressure were more susceptible to it. The key finding of the study: “No safe dose of alcohol for the brain has been found.”
50. What else can I do to protect my brain?
There is no miracle pill for brain health, although one of the most important things you can do is maintain a stable weight. A 2021 meta-analysis of data found that being significantly overweight increases the risk of developing dementia. Surprisingly, being underweight was also a risk factor. In addition, exercise is also essential to reduce risk.
When you are just on the path to a new relationship or at the very beginning of one, it is essential to get to know your current/potential love partner as best as possible. After all, if you are serious and want to continue, and ideally go hand in hand all your life, it is essential to get to know your heart friend as best as possible: what he loves, what he does not accept, whether his worldview suits you and even whether you are suitable in terms of intimacy ... After all, many, blinded by the initial passion, bask in the rays of their feelings, not thinking about what's next ... And then there may be a dead end ... Or, on the contrary, a happy life with a person who is close in spirit.
