According to scientists, your health is affected not only by weather conditions, environment, and genetic code but also by your emotional state.

ROME – UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has pleaded with the international community to tone down the political rhetoric to do with refugees, in a press conference in Rome on Friday.

 “I urge all political forces not to create space for racism,” Mr Grandi said. “I do not accuse anyone, but the language of politics has become very aggressive, not just in Italy, and it can give space for latent tendencies in society to transfer tensions to migrants and refugees.”

ROME – A couple poisoned by mushrooms it had mistaken for eggs, has died after four days in intensive care at Rome’s Policlinico Gemelli Hospital, health sources said on Friday.

 Giancarlo Dantini, 78, collected the mushrooms in the Rocca di Papa woods. His wife, Giuseppina Borriello, 72, used them to prepare what she believed to be an egg salad for Sunday lunch with relatives. Instead she had unknowingly served up Amanita phalloides – said to be nature’s most toxic and dangerous mushroom – causing lethal intoxication by attacking the liver and kidneys.
