        Onko muissa maissa maidossa ja maitotuotteissa vähemmän laktoosia kuin Suomessa?
        Laktoosin vaihtelevasta määrästä eri maissa ei ole viitteitä, mutta maidon prosessointi meijerissä näyttäisi vaikuttavan sen sietokykyyn eri ihmisillä. Tutkijoilla on asiasta eri mielipiteitä. Maidon  prosessoinnilla tarkoitetaan homogenointia ja pastörointia. Molemmat ovat yleisiä käytäntöjä Suomessa. Ne kuitenkin joidenkin  mielipiteiden mukaan tekevät maidosta vaikeammin sulavaa laktoosi-...6.11.2017 13:54Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

        birch whisk used in sauna (vihta)
        Hello! The best time to make vihta is about from mid-June to mid-July. We have two types of big birches in Finland; rauduskoivu (silver birch) and hieskoivu (downy birch). Rauduskoivu comes into leaf earlier and the leaves are stronger. On the other hand leaves of hieskoivu has this nice stronger aroma. You can use rauduskoivu and ad few twigs of hieskoivu into the middle of the whisk. You´ll identify rauduskoivu by its triangular and saw-edged leaves. Hieskoivu´s leaf is more...15.10.2014 14:39Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

        You may contact several places in the Helsinki area that offer cosmetic surgery. Some of the best known are: www.nordstromhospital.fi www.siluetti.fi www.Eiransairaala.fi Another option and probably a lot cheaper is to have the surgery in Estonia.

        Hello! I am wondering where I could find information on and get teeth bracers?
        Hello! In your case the only way to get dental braces is to have it done by a private dentist. Adults are not entitled to orthodontic treatment at a municipal dental clinic, as you were told in Kannelmäki. The best way to go about it is to choose a private dental clinic ('yksityinen hammaslääkäriasema' in Finnish) at a convenient distance - you'll have to visit it frequently during the treatment. Most dentists speak English, but you may wish to ask about this, too, when you contact the...25.1.2010 23:06Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

        Your anus is quite receptive. If you have a look at your normal stool, you may get the idea of how wide your anus opens without any problem, but you can work on stretching it so that it will accept even something bigger. The handle of a tooth brush is quite small, usually smooth and without any sharp edges. Four and a half inches should not be a problem, either, the bend in the colon comes first at about seven or eight inches. Just remember to use some lubricant.

        is sauna healthy
        According to professor Lasse Viinikka, the most important reason for going to sauna is that it’s relaxing and invigorating. Why, nobody knows for sure, but there are two different theories. According to some studies going to sauna increases the production of endorphins or hormones that create pleasure and satisfaction. According to the psychoanalytic theory the sauna brings to mind the happy days of childhood and so causes plenty of satisfaction. According to studies by the Kagoshima...21.8.2008 21:25

        Hello! Orthopaedic treatment like braces is not included in the municipal dental care that is provided for adults in Helsinki. This means you'll have to consult a private dentist. What you want is a hammaslääkäriasema or a hammaslääkärikeskus. This is a dental clinic where several private dentists work. Chances are one or two dentists in a big clinic speak good English or even some other language you'd prefer. It's OK to ask about that, and also about treatment fees.

        Guatemala does not seem to be the most dangerous part of the world, from the health point of view. Required vaccinations are none, recommended a few. Hepatitis A and typhoid for all, hepatitis B for longer term. Yellow fever is required, if you come from an infected area (which Finland is not), and then of course such basic vaccinations as tetanus and measles. Against malaria there is no vaccination, yet.

        What makes a good memory turn into a great memory?
        First of all, make sure you exercise regularly and get enough sleep. These health habits seem to be utterly important for your brain. Until about ten years ago it was generally supposed that old brains were unable to grow new neurons. Since then it has been shown that older brains do produce them. You make this happen by increasing the flow of blood in the brain, i.e. by physical activity. As little as three hours of walking, swimming or other aerobic exercise a week increases the number of...16.9.2007 09:26Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

        Why do lefty people always have colored dreams?
        According to recent experiments all the dreams are coloured. Our misconception that the dreams are usually black and white comes from our forgetfulness. How we remember our dreams depends on the functioning of the brains during the sleep but also on how we wake up. In all long and clear recollections of dreams there are plenty of expressions of colours. The researches sum their experiments up noting that in thousands recollections of dreams they did not find a single black and white dream. This...4.2.2007 15:33

Of these only white blood cells contain DNA. The normal transfusion involves only red blood cells, which do not contain DNA.
