What’s one interesting medical fact you know that most people might not be aware of? And do you have any personal ideas or theories about health, medicine, or the human body,even if they haven’t been proven yet? Share both below!
Mine is about artificial selection of animal’s -In artificial selection, humans choose animals with good genetic traits and the best physical characteristics to breed them with other high-quality animals, aiming to enhance productivity. However, my hypothesis is that this practice is somewhat unfair to the other animals. The animals selected for breeding receive better food, care, and attention, while the ones not chosen are often left with lower quality feed and limited resources. I know this might sound a bit unusual, but if you think about it deeply, it’s almost like a competition among animals. Only those with “better” traits are given the best treatment, while the rest are neglected. Isn’t that a kind of inequality even in the animal world?
I think this is a very interesting and important thought. In artificial selection, we treat only the “best” animals well and ignore the others. It’s like showing partiality. Even animals deserve fair treatment, and we should think about how this affects them too.
Did you know that your gut has its own nervous system — often called the “second brain”?
It’s known as the enteric nervous system and contains over 100 million neurons — more than the spinal cord. This is why gut health strongly affects mood, immunity, and even decision-making.
My Hypothesis:
What if the “gut-brain axis” could be trained like a muscle?
Just like physical exercise improves heart strength, could specific foods, probiotics, or even “neural exercises” for the gut improve emotional resilience?
For example, imagine a future where depression or anxiety could be treated not only with antidepressants, but also with a personalized gut-training program — a mix of diet, microbiome boosters, and biofeedback.
If that were true, it would mean that mental health clinics of the future might look more like nutrition labs than psychology offices.
Question to others:
If our gut really acts as a “second brain,” do you think food and microbes could someday replace pills for treating stress or depression?
