I love going to the beach and swimming in the ocean. I think it’s so relaxing. It’s also a great form of active recovery. It’s perfect for those rest days when you still want to move a little bit.
Ladies and gentlemen, we all love going to the beach but you need to make sure you are safe while visiting the coast.
A teenager who went for a swim at a local beach and emerged with his feet covered in blood has stumped marine experts. Sam’s legs felt sore after playing a game of football, so he decided to soak them at the beach…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
About 30 minutes later, the 16-year-old walked out of the water with his feet and ankles covered in what looked like hundreds of little pin holes that were bleeding profusely.
“I walked out of the water, saw what I thought was sand covering my ankles and lower calf so I just shook it off quite violently, and it came off, and by the time I walked across the sand, about 20 metres to put my thongs on… I looked down and noticed that I had bl00d all over my ankles and feet,”
Sam said. Upon returning home, the injuries left his parents puzzled that they decided to take him to the hospital.
“I didn’t want to go inside the house with blood all over my feet, so I called Mom and Dad from my phone from out the front door,” he said. “They came downstairs and my dad sort of just gave me this funny stare, and I gave him a stare because we both just had no clue what was going on.”
“I could tell he wasn’t in pain and he was calm so we stayed calm and we just thought, ‘We’d better clean off this bit of blood,’ and then realized it wasn’t washing away,” said Jane, the teen’s mother. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
“We made the call immediately that he needed to be in hospital.” Sam’s father, Jarrod, said hospital staff had no idea what kind of creature could have caused the injuries.
Jarrod went back to the beach the following night with a pool net full of meat and captured the animals he believes could have been responsible.
He took a video of dozens of the tiny bug-like creatures chomping on the chunks of meat. “These guys clearly love red meat,” Jarrod said in the video, adding that the organisms had devoured pieces of meat within minutes.
Jeff, executive director of the Dolphin Research Institute, believes the teen may have been attacked by crustaceans called amphipods, which usually eat decomposing plants and animal scraps.
But Thomasb, a parasite expert, said it would be very unusual for amphipods to cause such extensive bleeding. Meanwhile, marine expert Michael believes the small bugs eating the meat in the video could be jellyfish larvae.
Genu valgum describes a knee arrangement in which a child (or adult) stands with their knees together but their feet and lower legs apart. Bandylegs (genu varum) is the abnormal condition in which a person stands with their feet and lower legs together but a space between their knees.
Measurements of the shinbone’s articulation point with the thighbone (tibiofemoral point) or the shin-to-shin distance are commonly used to evaluate a shaky knee (intermalleolar distance) (intermalleolar distance). Photos or x-rays can be used to make these estimations in some cases…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
A frequent aspect of a kid’s existence is pounding knees (and pigeon toes, for that matter) (and pigeon toes, for that matter). Knee alignment in Caucasian kids typically goes from bent at birth to straight at age 2, then to thudding at age 4, and finally to straight again between the ages of 6 and 11.
Why do people with neurotic thump knees have them?
Adjusted muscle force on the bones can cause obsessive thump knees in a few neurological diseases, such as cerebral paralysis or spina bifida.
As a result, beating the knees incessantly may be an indication of something more serious going on below the surface. Adolescents can suffer a major setback if they develop rickets or another bone disease caused by improper mineralization. Neurotic thump knees are often associated with being short or having other bone or joint misalignment. Possible causes include metabolic bone disorder and skeletal dysplasia.
There is a correlation between childhood obesity and a more severe case of thump knees in children who also have flat feet and hypermobile (very pliable) joints.
In your opinion, should they be taken to the hospital for treatment?
Typically, parents bring their child in for their first medical checkup because they are concerned about how their child looks when they are upright or walking. Children that have physiological knock knees will eventually grow out of the condition and don’t need any therapy or follow-up exams.
Knee supports and foot orthotics for adults with excruciating osteoarthritis related to thump knees may be helpful. For youngsters, activities and get-healthy regimens to lower weight and encourage knee development may be beneficial. Nonetheless, there is now inadequate reasonable evidence to support the use of such therapies.
Those with severe or debilitating neurotic thump knees may require a muscle medical procedure to address the knee arrangement if they are in constant pain or are otherwise severely impaired.
The perfect pink sausage, grilled, placed inside a hot bun, with pimpled cabbage, mustard, and ketchup. Ahhh.. wonderful and delicious childhood memories.
But as it turns out, and most likely we are not revealing anything new to you – hot dogs are not healthy for you.
According to LiveStrong, they are high in fat (and not the good kind), have high levels of
cholesterol, contain large amounts of salt, and stay ‘fresh’ because of many preservatives.
It’s no surprise that hot dogs aren’t good for our waistlines – but what doctors have discovered they’re doing to our kids is the truly scary thing.
This meat product contains additives that may cause botulism, they extend the shelf life of the product and give it the pink color (otherwise they would be gray). We call these ‘helpful’ additives nitrites,
and they are dangerous, harmful and sometimes even fatal. LiveStrong explains that nitrites
are associated with an increase in the risk of getting cancer – with the risk being 9 times greater in children who consume more than 12 hot dogs per month.
The Daily Health Post shared the findings of hot dog
consumption in studies conducted:
“Children who ate hot dogs once or more during the week were at a higher risk of getting brain cancer”.
“Children born to mothers who consumed hot dogs once or more during a week during pregnancy had a higher risk of developing brain tumors”.
Picnics, barbecues, etc. – in all of them sausages play a central role in the menu. But their consumption is not innocent and much more dangerous than we thought.
Think hot dogs were born the way they look? Definately not! Before they get to their plate they go through a lot.
Different cuts of meat are ground in huge machines, then mixed with all kinds of starches, salt, flavorings and preservatives, then mixed in huge tanks.
It is enough to look at the label and see what ingredients are in the hot dogs. You will get shocked!
We may feel nostalgia associated with their taste, but unfortunately, there are many hidden things, much more than people realize. If you still choose to eat hot dogs and also let your children eat them, at least now you know and are familiar with the dangers.
In case you were wondering, here is how sausages are made – a video is worth a thousand words:
Excess body fat raises the risk of developing cancer and causes heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver. Fiber-rich foods will make you feel fuller for longer and reduce your hunger. They are an excellent option for persons who suffer from constipation.
