The Dangers of Self Diagnosing

/

We're all guilty of it. If we fear some issue that’s lingered in our bodies for too long, we head to Doctor Google for a quick search that brings up hundreds of results, with many of them being life-threatening. However, when we rely on Google to diagnose our problems, this becomes a very dangerous cycle. But why is this and what can we do to get out of this problem that so many of us fall prey to?

The Issue Of Convenience

For some, it’s quicker to type a few words rather than go to the doctor either out of fear, previous bad experiences with medical providers, or because of a financial issues. Another reason people avoid the doctor is due to getting the run around and not having your symptoms addressed or treated properly. For example, for those with chronic pain, it can be very frustrating when a medical professional has to refer you for further tests. In the meantime this only compounds the anxieties. It's unsurprising that many go on the internet to see what the problem is.

But unfortunately, this is no replacement for a healthcare professional.

Self- diagnosing can lead you to jump to conclusions about your symptoms and you could begin improper treatment or miss more symptoms as many psychiatric and physical conditions can sometime mimic each other.

Being Hesitant To Speak To A Doctor

There is a term for people who continually search for their symptoms online and believe that they're suffering from the results that pop up. Cyberchondria is incredibly common. As the ease of access to Doctor Google means not going to the doctor, this can result in us moving away from the advice of professionally trained healthcare professionals.

Why We Need To Keep Our Perspective

While many are continually relying on Doctor Google to provide the real answer, the fact is, we've got to nip this in the bud. We've got to keep our perspective of events. Because after all, it's unlikely we’re suffering from a rare medical condition. For example, the increase of people who went to the doctor believing they had ALS after the ice bucket challenge highlights just how much cyberchondria there is in the world. Instead, what you could do, if you believe yourself to have a psychiatric or medical condition, is to make a note of all the symptoms, and show to your doctor what this is pointing towards. The doctor can then evaluate you, which can confirm or deny your suspicions.

In conclusion, while self-diagnosing through Doctor Google can be convenient, it can be dangerous. It leads us down a path of anxiety, where we will end up afraid to go out and do anything. While hypochondriacs are suffering from a debilitating mental health condition, nowadays, with the ease of access to information, cyberchondria isn't far behind. After all, we all have access to a phone with millions of web pages. So the next time you feel you have some problem that won't go away, do yourself a favor and go to a doctor.

Chronic Pain Care & Management

/

NOTE: Content is not a substitute for treatment or therapy, and as always, please consult with your healthcare provider.

If you have chronic pain it can be an emotional struggle as well as a physical one.

In my work with chronic pain patients, one treatment approach I use includes solution-focused interventions rooted in mindfulness. Instead of thinking ‘why me’, look at the situation from a ‘what now, how will I deal with this’ perspective.  A new mindset can make the situation less stressful, and if you are less anxious, your body will cope with the pain better.


Learn To Relax

Pain occurs to warn you that there is something wrong with your body. It is often in the muscles, but can occur in other parts of the body as well- such as the nerves. If your body is tense the pain could be worse, but learning to relax can aid in lessening the effects of it.

Calming your body down is the objective, and you have to find the best method of relaxing your muscles that suits you and helps to improve your well-being. Some people are lucky enough just to be able to sit back and it happens naturally, where others will have to do progressive muscle relaxing for it to work.

Rest

Some people with painful conditions feel exhausted throughout the day, but may find it difficult to rest due to the high demands of living in today’s society. However, rest is a key factor in proper recovery, so making sure that you listen to your body and try to incorporate rest breaks throughout your day will aid in rejuvenating your body, and could reduce some pain related symptoms.

Don’t Overdo It

If your chronic pain is a bit easier after a few days of rest and relaxation, don’t suddenly try to do everything you normally would. Overdoing it can delay your recovery so even if you are feeling better, take it easy for a while longer. Perhaps doing light tasks can suffice, but keep them simple or you could be back at square one.

Eat Foods That Are Anti-Inflammatory

There are some foods and herbs such as turmeric, oily fish, red fruits and vegetables, and leafy greens that have anti-inflammatory properties. Carrots, squash, watermelon, and peaches are all additions to your diet that could help.

Seek Help from a Medical Professional

There is help available if you’re experiencing in chronic pain. Your healthcare provider is a first step in treatment, or you can visit a specialist- like a chiropractor or physical therapist. Moreover, depending on the type of pain you’re experiencing, you could also try acupuncture or massage therapy.

Another alternative medical approach uses feedback modalities- such as Neurofeedback or Biofeedback. These non-invasive treatment therapies help teach you how to control your own physiology, and in many cases, can reduce pain symptoms in the back, neck, nerves and other areas.

How Your Body Changes Post-Pregnancy

/

DISCLAIMER: As always, this post is only to provide general information. Please consult with your healthcare professional regarding treatment for your specific needs.

The ways in which your body changes during pregnancy are pretty well documented and you probably already have a good idea of what will happen. However, the changes don’t always stop there and there are a range of differences that women notice in the months after having a baby. Whether you are currently pregnant or you are thinking about having a baby at any point in the future, it is worth knowing about a few of the most common changes so nothing catches you by surprise. 

Hair Loss

You may not know it, but each of us tends to lose around 100 hairs a day when we are not pregnant! During pregnancy, your body is flooded by hormones, so you lose far less than normal. After you have given birth, your body starts to compensate for this so you may find yourself losing more hair than usual during the first six months. Most likely, your hair will soon start to return to its usual growth cycle, but if you’re experiencing a prolonged delay in growth, it might be time to see a specialist: like a Trichologist.

 Breast Changes

In the first couple of days after giving birth, you may find that your breasts have become flushed, swollen or sore. This swelling will tend to go down if you choose not to breastfeed or after you have finished breastfeeding. Additionally, the skin around your breast may sag, and even if you don’t breastfeed, you may find yourself experiencing milk leakage for a few weeks after birth. 

Stomach Differences

In the days after giving birth, you can feel that your uterus is hard and round. Around six weeks or so, you should no longer feel it pressing against your abdomen. You will probably notice some stretch marks around your skin, and even the fittest new moms may have some excess skin in their midsections. To help with this, you may want to think about engaging in some exercises such as yoga or Pilates, and building these up over time. Remember not to rush into anything too quickly as your body has been through a lot during pregnancy.

 Back Pain

It will usually take some time before the abdomen muscles ( which have become stretched during pregnancy), regain their former strength. Your body reacts to this by naturally putting on weight around your back muscles. This can end up leading to some sort of back pain. These problems usually work themselves out around six months following giving birth, but you may choose to see a chiropractor if this is not the case.

 Skin Discoloration

If you have suffered from acne during pregnancy, you should notice your skin starting to clear itself up. If this is not the case or you have other underlying skin conditions that pregnancy has exacerbated, you should consider seeing a dermatologist.   

I hope this post provides all of my new and expecting mamas with additional information that you find beneficial. Again, this post is to provide general knowledge and can vary from person to person. Following up with your OB/GYN can provide you with information tailored to your specific needs.

Guide To Getting A Good Night's Sleep

/

DISCLAIMER: As always, this post is only to provide general information. Please consult with your healthcare professional regarding treatment for your specific needs.

Sleep problems can be common with a lot of people. We have all been around friends or colleagues that have said they are exhausted or didn’t sleep well last night. The good news is that if you are intentional and committed to making some changes, you can get a much better night’s sleep, which can be a benefit to your life, as well as your health and wellness.

Below, I share a few suggestions that you can try in your nightly routine that may help you achieve a more effective sleep.

Avoiding Caffeine

It can be hard to cut caffeine completely from your body, but when you have caffeine close to bedtime, it can significantly disrupt your sleep. If you are someone that does have caffeine in their diet, then avoiding it closer to bedtime will be beneficial to you. The impact that caffeine has is also true as you get older, especially if you consume it multiple times throughout the day, so taking steps to get into healthier habits now, will augur well for your overall health.

Rest and Unwind

This might sound like an odd one, because surely going to bed itself is a way to rest and unwind? But in actuality, stress has a massive impact on how well you are able to sleep. So before you actually get into bed, you need to take time to rest and unwind. It could simply be meditating for a few minutes, lighting a candle or listening to calm music. It’s best if you can avoiding screens and computers before bed because they can overstimulate your brain. A good book or magazine is the perfect alternative, but either way make sure it is stress-free. If you’re quite easily involved in fiction, then a tense, scary, or emotional story is not great for bed-time. Keep it easy, breezy, and even uplifting.

Try Natural Remedies

They say that pillow sprays made from things like lavender can have an impact on your sleep, so that is a natural easy win that can help you to drift off. Diffusing essential oils can help, as well a CBD oils like those of Imbue Botanicals, for example. The reason being, if you suffer from anxiety at night, or are someone that suffers from insomnia or wakes up a lot, then this kind of oil might be a solution, as it relaxes the mind and body, reduces your heart rate, and helps you drift off to a restful night’s sleep.

A fragrant, warm bath filled with luxurious oils or bubbles is a great way to relax. We may not have the time to regularly indulge in baths during the week, but they are perfect before an early night. Breathe deeply, apply a face mask or other pampering treatment, and try to release all the tension from your muscles. When we fall asleep, our temperature drops slightly. This also happens when we get out of the bath, and mimicking a slight temperature drop can tell our brain that it is time to sleep.

Create a Conducive Environment for Sleep

Where you sleep plays a big part, because if you are not comfortable, then it will be hard to drift off to sleep. Making sure that you have a mattress with good support and some comfortable bedding is an easy win. Then make sure your room is just the right temperature for you, as too hot or too cold will impact how well you sleep. Don’t use your bed for things like studying or doing work as these can be things that stimulate the mind, and you will start to associate your bed with those things. Not good when you are already struggling to drift off.

Headaches: Causation, Treatment & Prevention

/

While the science behind headaches stems from a biochemical disorder, psychological influences can play a key role in the onset or maintenance of a headache. Research has shown that there is a comorbidity between psychiatric symptoms and headaches, particularly that of anxiety and depression. Due to biopsychosocial factors, headaches can have serious influences on a person's overall quality of life. In this post, we are going to take a look at the causation of headaches and ways you can treat/prevent them.

Primary Headaches

There are 2 types of headaches that a person can experience- primary or secondary. Primary headaches happen when there is an issue with the pain sensitivity structures or they go into overdrive. Nerve or blood vessels around the skull, head or neck muscles, or chemical activation in the brain can all play a role. One of the most common types of primary headaches is a migraine.

Migraine

Symptoms can cause intense pain or throbbing typically on one side of the head. While the verdict is still out on the causation, researchers believe that the causation is related to unstable nerve cells that overreact to different triggers. These triggers can include...

  • Issues with sleep

  • Depression, Anxiety or Stress

  • Hormonal changes in the body (including PMS)

  • Fatigue or hunger

  • Alcohol Use or caffeine withdrawal

  • Bodily strain related to posture

Secondary Headaches

These headaches are typically related to a secondary cause, such as a medical condition. These can include...

  • Head Injury (such as a concussion)

  • Infection

  • Overuse of medication

  • Congestion of the sinuses

  • Tumor

  • now COVID-19

Treatment of Headaches

As there are many ways to treat a headache, I will touch on a few common and not-so-common treatments.

Over-the-counter

Anti-inflammatory medications (such as Aspirin or ibuprofen) and acetaminophens (i.e., Tylenol) are what many individuals use for pain relief. These medications either block the production of chemicals that cause inflammation or elevate pain thresholds to relieve pain and reduce fevers (in the case of acetaminophens). If you see a primary care provider or specialist, they may recommend other types of medications which call for a prescription.

As we stated before, because there is a psychological aspect that can onset headaches, there are other forms of treatment that don't require medication (but an appointment with a psychologist or therapist). These include...

Stress management

Using learning relaxation techniques- such as deep breathing, muscle relaxation to manage stress which can reduce headaches. Additionally, Cognitive Behavior Therapy can teach coping skills to manage pain.

Acupuncture

Some research shows acupuncture to be effective in the treatment of headaches by restoring the flow of energy in the body and removing negative energy related to pain by dividing the body into zones and pressure points (typically near the nerves).

Feedback Treatment

Biofeedback is a common modality used in headache treatment. It involves sensors placed on different parts of the body that monitor physiological changes in the body (including muscle stress, heart/ respiratory rate and skin conductance). In turn, instant feedback is provided to the specialist who helps teach the individual how to gain control of these bodily processes.

Additionally, neurofeedback is another feedback modality where sensors are connected to the head to determine neural activity levels in specific brain areas. This information is relayed in real-time, and the specialist provides techniques to teach the individual ways to control brain activity responses.

These feedback modalities can decrease psychiatric symptoms like stress or anxiety, reduce pain and muscle tension, as well as strengthen brain activity.

Headache Prevention

As we've discussed, there are many things that can cause a headache and while some of these may be out of our control, there are still preventative steps that you can take to either reduce some of the characteristics of headaches (duration, intensity, frequency). These include...

  • Diet changes & increase water intake

  • Healthy sleep regimen

  • Reducing stress

  • Seeking Therapy to decrease psychiatric symptoms

  • Increasing opportunities for self-care

  • Talking with your doctor

How Your Home Can Impact A Healthy Lifestyle

/

You might be wondering already from the title how your home can impact your healthy life. You probably just thought that your home was a simple place for you to rest and enjoy yourself, which is true. However, you also have to be careful with your home, otherwise you could seriously impact the healthy lifestyle that you are looking to lead. In this article, we are going to be looking at some of the ways that this is possible, so keep reading down below if you would like to find out more.

Asbestos

The first problem that you might have is asbestos, which is a material that builders used for insulation decades ago. However, this was banned in the late 90’s, but there are still homes and buildings that contain this substance, even though it can be toxic. Asbestos can be dangerous if it is disturbed, and has been linked to certain types of cancer, so if you live in an older construction, it may be beneficial to get a surveyor to come and check your home just to be on the safe side.

Too Hot/Too Cold

Another health issue that you might face is the too hot/too cold issue. If your heating or air conditioning unit isn’t working, then you need to get it fixed. When you get too hot, you are looking at issues such as dehydration, dizziness, sickness, and even confusion if you aren’t careful. You know that it is going to get hot again, so call an emergency ac repair technician to come and see to your issue. The same goes for when the weather is too cold though. You are putting yourself at risk of catching a cold, or even worse if you don’t have working heating. 

Your Mental Health

Finally, mental health is hugely important if you want to live a healthy life. The state of your home can massively impact your mental health. If you have a messy house, you are more likely to have a “messy mind”. If there are issues that need repairing, this is going to cause you stress etc. As soon as one area starts to become affected (in this case your mental health), the physical may likely follow.

There is help and support out there that you can access if you want to.


Hopefully, you have found this article helpful, and now see how your home can impact your healthy life. Where possible, you want to make sure that nothing can get in the way of your lifestyle and the way that you want to live.

Beginner Yogi?? Here's Everything You Need To Know!

/

Yoga is an ancient practice, originally coming from Indian culture. Yogis, the elders of the practice who taught it to others, practiced the sport as a peaceful balance of mindfulness and physical wellness. Now practiced around the world, yoga is an incredible way to stay fit, strong, and balanced while helping to keep your mind at ease. Yoga, also pairs incredibly well with meditation and mindfulness practices. 

If you’re looking to take up a yoga class, but you aren’t sure of what to expect, here are some tips to get you started on your yogi journey.

Keep an open mind

In movies and other forms of representation, yoga can be portrayed as “hippie” or too free-spirited. However, yoga centers around peace and mindfulness, and whoever you are, you will benefit from that. Whether you’re young or old, if you’re a business-minded careerist or a free-spirit artist, your mind and body will thank you for working on mindful exercise. 

Do Your Research

Depending on where you live and the array of options available, researching yoga classes in your area is essential before you attend. There are some yoga classes, run typically in gyms and workout centers, which center the practice around working out, incorporating some mindfulness in the exercise. Other places, such as Buddhist centers, focus centrally on the mindfulness aspect of yoga. Depending on what you’re looking for, you can find the best class for you and your needs.

Come Prepared

Yoga, believe it or not, is actually a hard workout. While gyms push your body in terms of weightlifting and cardiovascular fitness, yoga is a different form of exercise. Yoga practices the body’s ability to hold itself in different positions and improves flexibility.

Additionally, you want to come to your yoga class prepared. Bring water, and wear comfortable clothing you feel confident and physically able to move around in. Traditionally, most yoga classes required you to be barefoot and in close proximity to others. However, with the current COVID-19 pandemic, facilities have been taking social distancing and safe practicing precautions, but you should also ensure that your hygiene, health and general cleanliness are good before you attend. 

Your clothing should also be breathable workout gear, such as booty scrunch workout leggings combined with a comfortable fitting top. Keeping your lower back and core supported fitted leggings can help you find the yoga positions more easily. Plus, these leggings aren’t see-through, so you will be able to focus without the worry of your attire.

Ask Questions

All professional yoga teachers go through lengthy training before they begin teaching their practice. If you’re new to yoga, ask questions during and after the class! Do not be afraid to put yourself out there and find out more about this amazing sport. You pay to practice with a professional, so utilize their knowledge to help you learn. Yoga is an exercise that benefits your health long term, so enjoy it, and use every resource you can to help you improve!

Ways To Boost Your Mental Health At Home

/

Maintaining a high level of mental health has never been as important as right now. A pandemic and subsequent lock down means long stretches stuck in the house; and, if you like to get out and socialize, the enforced house arrest can feel like hell. For those who already suffer from mental health issues, it’s essential to keep tabs on any negative emotions.

Of course, it’s not as if you will have help. Sure, Zoom video calling makes it less tough, and some professional therapists will conduct sessions online, yet the options aren’t comprehensive. You may find that you’re alone with only your brain for comfort, and that can be tricky. If you don't take action while you’re locked down, your well-being could be in jeopardy when the world begins coming into its new normal.

Thankfully, there are tons of resources that can be accessed, and the following come with no guarantees, YET they may give you the boost you need to manage self-isolation.

Meditate

The simplest and most effective thing you can do when life starts to get challenging is to meditate. What’s incredible about this tool is that you can do it from anywhere in the world. All you need is a quiet space and plenty of focus. Don’t worry if you don’t have the latter because you’ll build staying power the more you practice.

There’s no reason to fret about understanding the “dynamics” of meditation at all. Yes, most people do it one way, but if your methodology is a little different, it’s not an issue as long as it works. At first, try and channel your thoughts towards a single goal for a minute or two. Then, the more you get used to the feeling of weightlessness, the longer you’ll be able to meditate.

Meditation allows you to eliminate thoughts and emotions that lead to stress and anxiety. Therefore, meditating once a day should act as a factory reset for your mind and body.

Go Outside (If You Can)

Depending on the rules, you may not be allowed outside at all. Certain countries have only relaxed their state of emergencies, and even then it applies to kids and pregnant women. So, going outside every day may not be an option. However, if it is, you should take the opportunity to leave the house and relieve the tension.

A PNAS study found that spending ninety minute outside of the house can lower brain activity. Now, this doesn’t sound like a good thing, but it’s essentially a form of meditation. You use walking (or any form of exercise) to forget about the problems that appear as if they are insurmountable. They seem that way because you’re surrounded by and have nowhere to go. Of course, leaving the confines of your property instantly opens up the brain to a new, healthier environment.

Repair Stuff That Makes You Self-Conscious

It’s worth noting that you shouldn’t change anything about your body if you think the step is too great. After all, it’s not as if you can get your old features back once they’re gone. Still, you don’t need to revolutionize the way you look to make you feel better about yourself when you stare into a mirror. Repairing can be as simple as updating your wardrobe or meeting a wellness goal. Moreover, think about your smile for a moment - does it impact the way you act when you’re in public? Lots of men and women will try not to smile as smiling shows oral flaws and imperfections. With Invisalign treatment, though, you can straighten out your teeth in no time without invasive procedures. Plus, the treatment is proven to work, so the odds of boosting your smile are high.

Review Relationships

Mostly, your relationships will help you to get through tricky periods in life. Without a strong core of people who support you no matter what, maintaining your mental health is hard. That said, not every relationship will be healthy. Some are toxic and people don’t realize it until it’s too late.

One of the resources you have in abundance is time, and you should use it to reflect. Analyzing whether a friendship, partnership or romantic relationship is helpful will allow you to cut the cord if necessary. The key is to watch out for the telltale signs, such as a lack of compromise and constant judgment. Inc has more if you’re interested.

Purging people from your life is a decision you shouldn’t take lightly. Yet, it could be the correct one if those people only bring negativity.

How To Cut Down On Screen Time When You're Stuck At Home

/

Lots of people are stuck at home right now, and this may continue for a while. To relieve boredom, it’s easy to reach for your cell or tablet to start streaming videos or watching YouTube. While devices are excellent for passing the time, you will increase your screen time if you rely on them too much. As a result, it’s not uncommon to harm your eyesight or suffer from tiredness and fatigue.

Kids are often targeted as being exposed to devices, yet grown-ups aren’t exempt from the side-effects. Your health, both physical and mental, is likely to take a hit if you stare at screens all day. So, here are four tips to help you cut back and stay healthy.

Limit Home Workouts on Your Devices

Let’s start by noting that working out at home is essential at this point. Without exercise, your immune system, among other things, could fail and leave you susceptible to diseases. However, the majority of the home-based workouts are done by staring at a screen and repeating the activities. Thanks to this step-by-step guide to meditation, there’s no reason to use a screen whatsoever. You merely sit quietly for an hour or two and try to relax. Yoga, hiking and outdoor fitness activities are an excellent alternative, also.

Choose One Device

There are lots to choose from regarding portable devices; and, there’s a healthy chance that you have the full range at home, whether it’s a smartphone, laptop, or iPad. While you’re used to using whichever is nearby, the key to help you cut back on screen time is to pick one and stick with it. By doing this, you don’t spend inordinate amounts of hours glancing between devices. Some people champion blue light lenses, yet there is no research to suggest that they work effectively.

A tip: go with your cell phone. It’s always on your person, and it’s the hardware that you use most often.

Factor In Virtual Interactions

Relying on mobile devices is inevitable when you’re stuck at home as you can’t leave the house without a decent reason. That includes seeing family and friends. The result is that you’ll speak to them via your handsets. Whether it’s a virtual date for adults or a playdate for kids, it’s incredible how creative people are when the chips are down. Still, it’s not hard to forget that it classes as screen time. If you want to cut down, then, you’ll need to factor these events into your routine. It may mean turning off the TV early to catch up with Mom or Dad.

Get Out When Allowed

The best tactic is to leave the house. Depending on the state, you may be limited on the type of outdoor activities that are available to you as cases across the country continue to rise. However, depending on your choices, you can make it work. A man has completed a marathon by running around his garden, so there aren’t any excuses for failing to get some fresh air!

How will you cut down on screen time?

/

While we are progressing in the pandemic “Safer At Home” shut down order, and we have been secluded to our homes for weeks now, I thought it would be important to talk about how we can really be SAFER at home. We are all trying to maintain our sanity at this point from finally putting those healthier lifestyle goals to work (by exercising and eating clean) to ZOOM and chill nights with our friends. However, have we really taken time to make sure our homes are safe to do these things?

Our environment has a big role to play in our health and if you are not careful, your home could be damaging your health in a lot of different ways. These are some of the potential ways that your home could be harming your health.

Moving Home 

When you initially move into a new home, this can have an impact on your health, but a lot of people don’t consider this. It is a very stressful process and that can negatively impact your mental and physical health. That’s why it is so important that you plan your move carefully and try to find ways to reduce stress during the move so things don’t get on top of you. 

Poor Air Quality 

The air quality is becoming superb outside due to the shut down, but have you ever thought about the air quality inside your home? Most people haven’t and it can be a big problem. In fact, the air quality inside your home is often worse than it is outside because the air does not circulate. Things like cleaning products or certain types of candles can release a lot of chemicals into the air, and breathing all of that in is not good for your health. It is important that you try to open windows and circulate air as much as possible and switch to green cleaning chemicals where you can. An air conditioner can help, but only if it is cleaned and maintained properly or it will make the problem worse. You should also consider getting more plants in the home to help purify the air as well. 

Dangerous Materials 

If you live in an older home or apartment building, there may be dangerous materials like lead or asbestos in your home, and these can lead to some serious health problems. Asbestos is the main cause of a type of cancer called mesothelioma, and if you are exposed for a long period without realizing, you may be at risk of developing the condition. If this does happen, you may be entitled to some compensation, so get in touch with a mesothelioma lawyer right away. If you suspect that there are dangerous materials in your home, make sure to call in some professionals to test and remove materials if necessary. Never try to do this yourself because you could be putting yourself in more danger.

Missed Spots When Cleaning 

We all like to think that we have a clean home, but are there spots that you are missing when you clean? Most people don’t realize, but there are a lot of common spots that get missed when we are cleaning, and this can lead to a buildup of bacteria over time. Things like light switches and door knobs, for example, are touched a lot and carry a lot of bacteria, so they need to be cleaned properly on a regular basis. 


These are just some of the ways that your home could be harming your health, so you need to be careful.
