Health Warning – Your Skinny Jeans Are Damaging Your Muscles And Nerves

By

Doctors have made a discovery that will have young people in disarray all over the world. Skinny jeans are bad for you.


Lots of lads seem to be opting for the Topman Super-Duper-Skinny-Spray-On-Denim jeans that look like leggings these days. But not only do they look awful, especially with your bare ankles, but they are actually damaging your legs.

That’s right, by wearing skinny jeans you are increasing the chance of developing ‘Compartment Syndrome’.

Compartment Syndrome is essentially an increase in pressure in the body’s compartments. A ‘compartment’ is a section of the body that has muscles and nerves surrounded by fascia. Very basically, it stops blood from getting to your muscles.


So if you are wearing super skinny jeans that you have to use goose fat to help you get into, and they look like they have been sprayed on, the denim is tightening around your thigh compartments, essentially squeezing them until you run the risk of cutting off the blood supply.


This is what recently happened to a woman in Australia, who had spent the day squatting to empty cupboards in her house. Her feet became numb and she struggled to walk. Her calves ballooned, and she eventually had to be cut out of her skinny jeans.

Her nerves were damaged, and she was put on a drip and was unable to walk for days.

So while you may joke about your mates hideous super skinny jeans looking terrible on him and how they must be cutting his blood supply off, it is in fact an actual thing, that can be brutally serious.

So lads, not only do they look like a letter L, and either a skeleton or a whale in a wet suit (there is no happy medium for guys in skinny jeans!), they are a genuine health risk. Girls, you have the option of leggings, so going for them is a healthy choice!


The chance of this happening is somewhat ironically ‘slim’, but you know… Better to be safe than sorry.source

Nutcase Couple Hang From Cliff 2700ft Above Rio

By
While most people get a little bit worried about heights when climbing up a ladder, Leonardo Edson Pereira, 23, and his girlfriend Victoria Medeiros Nader, 18, are very different. In fact, after seeing images of the couple hanging off a 2,700 ft cliff in Rio, Brazil, it’s safe to say the couple pretty much break the mould when it comes to heights and being daredevils. Pereira took his girlfriend with him on his latest thrill seeking adventure, with Pedra de Gavea their conquest this time. The images really are breathtaking and depict just one of the many times Pereira has climbed the Pedra de Gavea. He claimed: "I love living on the edge! I know people think it’s dangerous and crazy but it makes me feel alive,’ Leonardo says. It is really high and I do just hang on using my arm strength. I have to trust myself not to fall." The literal translation of the rock’s name means ‘Rock of the Topsail’, and while the images certainly are something, given ...

This has the effect of lengthening our days, but it happens so slowly that it could be as much as 140 million years before the l...

What Is The Largest Number?

By
Humans have been using numbers for thousands of years. It is believed that the concept of numbers first originated when prehistoric humans began using their fingers to count. This eventually evolved into sign language and then tally marks on objects like sand, walls and sticks. We’ve come a long way. Now we use calculators and computers to count our large numbers. We even have a word for numbers that are without a limit. Sometimes, it seems like the only people who can make sense of it all are the mathematical savants. One reader wanted to know: What is the largest number in mathematics? NOT SO OBVIOUS So what’s the largest number? The answer should be pretty obvious. Infinity, right? But that’s not entirely correct. Infinity in the strictest sense, is not a number at all. It’s a concept. An idea. And a mind bending one at that. Infinity is a concept which means “a quantity without bound or end”. The definition of infinity in mathematics states that no matter how big a nu...
