Amid all the political bickering, many good things also came out of 2015. The Huffington Post has publisheda list of amazing things we learned about the human body in 2015. For example, scientists discovered a virus that has the potential to permanently cure blindness. Doctors are on track to being able to detect schizophrenia by using a simple throat swab. They’ve also found a way to replace a human trachea with a healthy replica, using a 3D printer.
Another important finding: High levels of “prebiotic” gut bacteria may help curb depression and anxiety. More good news this year: Insulin shots for diabetics may soon be a thing of the past. Robotic high-intensity focused ultrasounds may be able to treat prostate cancer with no recovery time. And doing squats can help you avoid dementia. Things seem to be improving every day.
