Despite the fact that his name has become synonymous with “angry short man,” Napoleon Bonaparte was actually of average height for the time period in which he lived. His contemporaries described him a
86、s being 52, but the French measured height differently back in the day, so he was actually around 55. That made him just “an inch or so below the periods average adult male height.”4. Isaac Newton didnt discover gravity because an apple struck him on the head. Rather, he witnessed an apple falling a

While the health benefits of exercise and sleep are nothing new, its the relationship between them that is interesting in this particular st
92、udy it could even give doctors another option to suggest for patients dealing with sleep problems.“We found those who had both the poorest sleep quality and who exercised the least were most at risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and cancer,” says epidemiologist Bo-Huei Huang, from the Univers
93、ity of Sydney in Australia. Participants were grouped into three levels of physical activity (high, medium or low) and were also given a sleep quality score from 0-5 based on the amount of shut-eye they got, how late they stayed up, insomnia, snoring and daytime sleepiness.Those with the highest ris
94、k of dying from cancer or heart disease during the study period were those with the worst quality sleep and who didnt meet the WHO recommended guidelines for exercise. That risk went down for people with poor quality sleep but who did meet the exercise guidelines.In the case of all forms of cancer,
95、for example, those at the unhealthiest end of the sleep and exercise scale had a 45 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than those with good sleep scores who kept physically active. However, that risk just about disappeared for those who didnt score well on sleep but did score well on physical
96、activity.For now its not clear why more exercise might make up for poor sleep, as far as our health goes. It could be that the increased activity is counteracting inflammation(炎症), or reducing irregularities in glucose metabolism, suggest the researchers.“Considering that physical activity is perhap
97、s more modifiable than sleep, our study offers people more health incentives to be physically active.” says population health researcher Emmanuel Stamatakis, from the University of Sydney.4.

They say these defects result from epigenetic changes that
102、can potentially affect multiple generations.The study, published in the American Journal of Stem Cells, suggest both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring-a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate, says the studys senior investigator, Joanna Ki
103、tlinska, PhD, an associate professor in biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology.“We know the nutritional, hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother permanently influences organ structure, cellular response and gene expression in her offspring,” she says.“But our study sh
104、ows the same thing to be true with fathers his lifestyle, and how old he is, can be reflected in molecules that control gene function,” she says. “In this way, a father can affect not only his immediate offspring, but future generations as well.”For example, a newborn can be diagnosed with fetal(胎儿的
105、) alcohol spectrum disorder(FASD), even though the mother has never consumed alcohol, Kitlinska says. “Up to 75 percent of children with FASD have biological fathers who are alcoholics, suggesting that preconceptual paternal alcohol consumption negatively impacts their offspring.”Advanced age of a f
106、ather is correlated with elevated rates of certain diseases, and birth defects in his children. A limited diet during a fathers preadolescence has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular death in his children and grandchildren. Paternal obesity is linked to enlarged fat cells, changes in metab
107、olic regulation, diabetes, obesity and development of brain cancer. Psychosocial stress on the father is linked to defective behavioral traits in his offspring. And paternal alcohol use leads to decreased newborn birth weight, marked reduction in overall brain size and impaired cognitive function.“T
