Imagine that every time you needed to read something, you had to lift a piece of glass the size of a mirror to your face. That was the best solution that humankind had come up with for vision problems before the 13th century, when some enterprising folks in Italy shrank the glass and heavy frames enough that they could finally be worn on the nose. A while later, Spanish eyeglass makers came up with the idea of attaching ribbons to the frame so that the glasses could remain on the wearer's face. Finally, in the 1700s, these ribbons were replaced with the "arms" that today's glasses have, allowing them to rest comfortably on the nose and ears.

According to a UN report from 2015, 2.5 billion of the world's 7 billion people lack access to a toilet, particularly in areas of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Since another report put the number of mobile phone users at 6 billion, that means more than twice as many people have phones as proper plumbing. This is not to say there are too many cell phones but to say that we still have a long way to go when it comes to providing sanitation to everyone.

Legend has it that the four suites of a deck of playing cards come from the four pillars of the medieval economy: hearts for the Church, spades for the military, diamonds for the merchants, and clubs for the farmers. Each king is also said to represent a real historical ruler: the King of Hearts is Charles or Charlemagne, the king of Spades is the biblical King David, the King of Diamonds is Julius Caesar, and the King of Clubs is Alexander the Great. Whether that's what the makers of the deck intended or whether it was a tale added over time, it is undoubtedly true that the King of Hearts is the only one without a mustache!

Sometime around the 10th century, some enterprising soul in a horse-riding culture figured out that your foot would stay more firmly in the stirrups if your shoe had a bit of a raised heel. The innovation spread quickly, and soon whole armies—of men—rode into battle wearing pumps.

The thyroid is so integral to your body's regulation that anytime levels are off, it can cause a vast array of issues. Safer's paper warns that there are multiple skin manifestations of thyroid dysfunction, including thin, scaly skin; edema (swelling) to the hands, face, and eyelids; thin or brittle nails; irregular sweating; cold intolerance; heat intolerance; and drooping of the eyelids. Of course, that's in addition to an enlarged goiter at the base of your neck, the tell-tale sign of a thyroid issue.

Because the hair growth process is broadly the same across your whole body, thyroid-related hair loss may not be limited to your scalp. In some cases, you may lose hair from other areas like your eyebrows and legs. David Beatty, MRCGP, a general practitioner with more than 30 years of experience, previously told Best Life that most of the eyebrow hair loss from hypothyroidism occurs in the outer third part of your brow.

However, with successful treatment of the underlying condition, any hair loss will be reversed as your thyroid levels return to normal, according to MedicalNewsToday.

The impact of out-of-whack thyroid hormones on your hair can be even more severe than just breakage and dryness. The experts at Very Well Health warn that "having autoimmune thyroid disease in particular also puts you at greater risk for alopecia areata—excessive and rapid hair loss in specific parts of the scalp." According to a 2010 study published in the journal Hippokratia, 41 percent of people with hypothyroidism experienced hair loss.

Hypothyroidism can cause your hair to become dry, coarse, or brittle. In his 2011 research paper "Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin" published in the journal Dermato-Endoctrinology, Joshua D. Safer, MD, listed a series of changes to the hair that can occur as a direct result of a thyroid disorder. "In hypothyroidism, hair can be dry, coarse, brittle and slow growing," he explains. Conversely, hyperthyroidism can lead to your hair feeling extra soft and fine.

Your thyroid gland is one of the most important parts of how your body functions day to day. It's responsible for creating and producing hormones that control everything from your metabolism to the health of your heart, bones, and GI system. If things aren't right, your thyroid can be both over- and underactive, issues an estimated 20 million Americans experience, according to the American Thyroid Association. Unfortunately, women are up to eight times more likely than men to have some kind of thyroid disease.

Despite all of these warnings, if you are committed to sleeping on your stomach, you can use pillows to lessen the damage. Gasnick suggests placing a pillow under your legs, which elevates "the feet above the knees to help minimize back arching in this position to decrease the excessive lordotic spinal alignment," she says. Another helpful tip is to place a pillow under your hips to "keep your low back in a more neutral position," adds Lombardo.

In addition to hurting your neck and back, sleeping on your stomach "puts our hips in an anteriorly rotated position," Lombardo points out, which "could increase the curve of our lumbar spine, which can create disk problems over time."

Healthline says that a herniated disk is another risk that comes with sleeping on your stomach. A herniated disk is "when there's a rupture of the gelatinous disk between your vertebrae. When this gel bulges out from the disk, it can irritate the nerves," they note.

"Most of the issues that stem from stomach sleeping are a result of the spinal positioning," Savy says. "When lying on the stomach, the spine loses its natural curve and can experience tension or strain. Back muscles can also be affected, which may cause back pain in the morning."

Stomach sleeping can also cause "hyperlordosis, or excessive arching, of the lumbar spine," says physical therapist Kristen Gasnick, DPT. The position puts "increased pressure on the low back. This causes increased back pain, especially for conditions like spinal stenosis and spondylolysis."
