In recent decades, scientists have realized that heart attack symptoms can be quite different for women than for men. The journal Circulation published the findings of a multicenter study of 515 women who’d experienced a heart attack. The most frequently reported symptoms didn’t include chest pain.

This practice isn’t about aesthetics; rather, the paint serves to protect trees during their development. Nature is brimming with vivid colors. Trees alone display a wide range of hues, from the pink of cherry blossoms to the deep green of pines and the yellow of maple leaves. However, some trees have white bark—unlike naturally white-barked birches—due to human-applied paint. Why Are Some Trees Painted White? You may have noticed that the lower trunks of some trees are painted white. This is to shield the bark from sunscald, a condition similar to sunburn in plants.
