    (AC) Random Fact of the day

    https://www.madewithhappy.com/may-fun-facts/

    • May is named after the Greek goddess Maia, the Greek Goddess of Spring. The Romans had a similar goddess named Bona Dea where they would hold a festival in the month of May for her.

    • While the current calendar (Gregorian calendar) has May as the fifth month of the year, that wasn't always the case. In the Roman calendar (Julian calendar), May was the third month of the year. January and February did not exist in that calendar.

    • At one point, May was once considered a bad luck month to get married. There was a poem that said, “Marry in May and you’ll rue the day.”

    Random Fact of the day

    (Sources:https://alphabiolabsusa.com/blog/10-amazing-dna-facts-you-may-not-know/)

    Today is National DNA day! Let’s learn some fun facts about DNA

    What is DNA? DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid, a molecule containing genetic instructions that ensure living beings can properly develop, survive, and reproduce, with every human being inheriting half of their genetic material from each of their biological parents. DNA can be found in almost every cell in our body, except for red blood cells, making it an essential component in what makes us human.

    1. All human beings share approximately 99.9% of their DNA

    The tiny amount of DNA that differs (0.1%) is what makes us different from one another. This area of our DNA is responsible for determining our physical characteristics like eye colour, skull shape and skin colour.

    2. It would take 50 years to type out the entire human genome

    There are around three billion units that make up the human genome. It would take around 50 years to type out the entire genome – but you’d need to type at 60 words per minute, for eight hours per day.

    3. DNA is made up of four key building blocks

    DNA molecules are made up of four chemical bases (nucleotides), which are the building blocks of nucleic acids: adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C).

    4. If you stretched out the DNA in one cell, it would stretch to 2 metres long

    If you did this for all the DNA in all your cells, it would stretch to approximately twice the diameter of the solar system!

    5. It’s possible for one person to have two sets of DNA

    Although rare, it’s possible for a human being to have two completely different DNA profiles. This phenomenon is known as chimerism and can happen during pregnancy where the mother retains some of her baby’s DNA, or when a fetus absorbs its twin. It can also occur in patients who’ve had bone marrow transplants, where the donor’s bone marrow continues to produce blood cells containing the donor’s DNA.


    Tip 1: Get the right amount of calories for you

    Tip 2 Remember that weight gain during pregnancy is necessary!

    Tip 3: Take a prenatal vitamin with folic acid, iron, and iodine every day, and follow a healthy eating pattern

    Tip 4 Keep Moving!

    Tip 5: Learn About Postpartum Depression

    Tip 6 Focus on good sources of fruits/veggies- whole grains- lean protein and healthy fats.

    Tip 7: Say YES to your cravings!

    Tip 8 Keep your body hydrated (as much as possible)

    Tip 9: Wear Sunscreen

    Tip 10- Find a group (build your village)
