Content: Tissue damage may be from mechanical, chemical, infectious or other factors. There is an underlying disease, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disease, or lupus, that induces tissue damage and creates a nidus for calcification 2). Conditions that can cause dystrophic calcinosis cutis include: Trauma
Acne
Varicose veins
Infections
Tumors (pilomatrixoma, cysts, basal cell carcinomas and others)
Connective tissue disease (dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus)
Panniculitis
Inherited diseases of connective tissue (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Werner syndrome, Pseudoxanthoma elasticum, Rothmund-Thomson syndrome)
Dermatomyositis and scleroderma (especially the CREST syndrome – calcinosis, Raynaud’s phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly and telangiectasia) are the best recognized and most troublesome. Figure 1. Dystrophic calcinosis cutis

Figure 3. Calcinosis cutis scleroderma
Metastatic calcinosis cutis
Metastatic calcinosis cutis occurs in the setting of abnormal calcium and phosphate (phosphorus) metabolism and is often associated with hypercalcemia and/or hyperphosphatemia. Conditions that can cause metastatic calcinosis cutis include: Primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism
Bone metastases
Paraneoplastic hypercalcemia
Destructive bone disease, e.g. Paget disease
Milk-alkali syndrome
Excessive vitamin D intake
Sarcoidosis
Metastatic calcification presents with predominantly periarticular calcification in addition to signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia (e.g. abdominal pain, renal failure, cardiac arrhythmias and depression). | https://healthjade.net/calcinosis-cutis/ |

Content: The “R”, stands for Raynaud’s phenomenon, spasm of blood vessels in the fingers or toes in response to cold or stress. The “E” represents esophageal dysmotility, which can cause difficulty in swallowing. The “S” is for sclerodactyly, tightening of the skin causing the fingers to bend. Finally, the letter “T” is for telangiectasia, dilated vessels on the skin of the fingers, face, or inside of the mouth. Usually only 2 of the 5 symptoms of the CREST syndrome is necessary to be diagnosed with limited scleroderma. The skin changes associated with limited scleroderma typically occur only in the lower arms and legs, below the elbows and knees, and sometimes affect the face and neck. Limited scleroderma can also affect your digestive tract, heart, lungs or kidneys. The symptoms involved in CREST syndrome are associated with the generalized form of the disease systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). CREST is an acronym for the clinical features that are seen in a patient with this disease. (C) – Calcinosis: | https://healthjade.net/crest-syndrome/ |

Esophageal motility disorder
Esophageal dysmotility also called esophageal motility disorder are abnormal contractions occurring in the esophagus, which propel the food bolus forward toward the stomach, causing symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia), heartburn, and chest pain 1). When contractions in the esophagus become irregular, unsynchronized or absent, the patient is said to have esophageal dysmotility. The areas of dysfunction in the esophagus may be in the upper esophageal sphincter, the body of the esophagus or the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The esophagus functions solely to deliver food from the mouth to the stomach where the process of digestion can begin. Efficient transport by the esophagus requires a coordinated, sequential motility pattern that propels food from above and clears acid and bile reflux from below. Disruption of this highly integrated muscular motion limits delivery of food and fluid, as well as causes a bothersome sense of dysphagia and chest pain. Disorders of esophageal motility are referred to as primary or secondary esophageal motility disorders and categorized according to their abnormal manometric patterns. The spectrum of these disorders ranges from the well-defined primary esophageal motility disorders to very nonspecific disorders that may play a more indirect role in reflux disease and otherwise be asymptomatic. Esophageal motility disorders may occur as manifestations of systemic diseases, referred to as secondary motility disorders. Disorders of esophageal motility can also be divided into two categories: | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

Esophageal motility disorders may occur as manifestations of systemic diseases, referred to as secondary motility disorders. Disorders of esophageal motility can also be divided into two categories: hypomotility and hypermotility, either of which can affect the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and/or the esophageal body. Dysphagia is a condition affecting over 9 million individuals in the United States. Oropharyngeal dysphagia, specifically, happens in as much as 50% of the elderly and 50% of patients with neurological pathologies. Clinically, oropharyngeal dysphagia can present with severe symptoms such as aspiration and death. Esophageal dysphagia, on the other hand, is a rarer condition with less severe symptoms but is easier to recognize due to symptoms arising from diseases of the enteric nervous system or esophageal muscular layers. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

The clinical presentation of a motility disorder is varied, but, classically, dysphagia and chest pain are reported. In 80% of patients, the cause of a patient’s dysphagia can be suggested from the history, including dysmotility of the esophagus. Before entertaining a diagnosis of a motility disorder, first and foremost, the physician must evaluate for a mechanical obstructing lesion. Oropharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction may be caused by neurologic and neuromuscular diseases or may be of unknown cause. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

Oropharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction may be caused by neurologic and neuromuscular diseases or may be of unknown cause. Oropharyngeal dysfunction may result from certain surgeries, such as tracheostomy, laryngectomy or cervical dissection. There are primary idiopathic motor disorders that include achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, nutcracker esophagus, hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter and nonspecific esophageal motility disorders. Reflux disease is associated with an lower esophageal sphincter that is not sufficiently tight allowing gastric acid to wash back into the esophagus. The contractions of the esophagus in patients with reflux are generally not abnormal, but with long-standing reflux disease, they may decrease in amplitude. The esophagus is lined by both circular and longitudinal muscles that terminate at a 2- to 4-cm circular muscle layer called the lower esophageal sphincter. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

The lower esophageal sphincter accounts for approximately 90% of the basal pressure at the gastroesophageal junction, and functions as an anti-reflux barrier. Esophageal peristalsis is a very synchronized action regulated by the vagus nerve that both stimulates and inhibits neurons in the esophageal myenteric plexus. The disruption of coordination between excitatory and inhibitory signals to myenteric neurons results in esophageal motility disorder. Hypomotility of the esophageal body ranges from low wave amplitude to complete peristaltic failure, and etiologies include rheumatologic (scleroderma, connective tissue disorders), endocrinologic (diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism) and other diseases (alcoholism, amyloidosis). The shared symptom of these disorders of hypomotility is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

Hypermotility of the lower esophageal sphincter is most commonly seen in achalasia, which is discussed in detail throughout the rest of this chapter. Hypertensive disorders of the esophageal body (which may or may not involve the lower esophageal sphincter) are termed spastic disorders. They can be further categorized as diffuse esophageal spasm and non-specific spastic disorders, and are almost universally idiopathic. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

The other disorders may show abnormalities in the amplitude, frequency or duration of contractions and/or a hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter. One subgroup of spastic disorders is “nutcracker esophagus”, characterized by contractions of high amplitude with otherwise normal peristalsis. Presenting symptoms of all hypermotility disorders include chest pain (in 80-90% of cases), dysphagia, regurgitation, and heartburn. A barium swallow and/or manometry are the preliminary diagnostic tests. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

Fortunately, these spastic disorders are not typically progressive or fatal. Treatment risks must therefore be especially weighed against potential benefits, with consideration of low-risk treatments (e.g., proton pump inhibitor to rule out possible GERD) first. Other options range from swallowing warm liquids with meals to invasive treatments used for achalasia (see below). Bougienage and serial dilation with increasing sizes of bougies may be effective for some patients. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

Potential benefit may also be seen from smooth muscle relaxants (e.g., nitrates, calcium channel blockers) or antidepressants (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Esophagus anatomy
The tubular esophagus is a muscular organ, approximately 25 cm in length, and has specialized sphincters at proximal and distal ends. The upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is comprised of several striated muscles, creating a tonically closed valve and preventing air from entering into the gastrointestinal tract. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is composed entirely of smooth muscle and maintains a steady baseline tone to prevent gastric reflux into the esophagus. The body of the esophagus is similarly composed of 2 muscle types. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

Esophagus physiology
The esophagus is a conduit for the passage of a food bolus from the pharynx to the stomach. Typically, the esophagus starts at the cricopharyngeus muscle, forming part of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), and ends at the lower esophageal sphincter, surrounded by the crural part of the diaphragm at the tenth thoracic vertebra (T10) 2). Following the relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter and the passage of the food bolus into the esophagus, peristaltic muscular contractions propel the bolus toward the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter in conjunction with the peristaltic propulsion of the bolus allows the entry of the bolus into the stomach. Problems in the normal physiology of the esophagus and its associated sphincters begin to arise when patients report having difficulty swallowing or dysphagia. Generally, dysphagia can be broken into two groups, obstructive lesions or motor disorders. Obstructive lesions involve a narrowing of the esophagus or an outgrowth resulting in decreased luminal diameter. | https://healthjade.net/esophageal-dysmotility/ |

Motor disorders involve atrophy of muscles, degeneration of nerves, or improper function of nerves associated with the esophageal function. Dysphagia can also be broken down based on location such as pre-esophageal/oropharyngeal dysphagia, esophageal/transport dysphagia, or postesophageal/esophagogastric dysphagia.

Content: Acquired causes are usually secondary to trauma, occuring as either after direct or indirect trauma. Traumatic examples include penetrating trauma, closed fractures causing a fascial tear (direct trauma), or force applied to contracted muscle causing acute fascial rupture (indirect trauma) 40). In direct trauma, the fascia itself is injured resulting e.g. from fractures, wounds or contusion. Indirect trauma means injury to the contracted muscle that can cause rupture of the fascia 41) . Herniation is potentiated by increases in intracompartmental pressures such as muscle hypertrophy or chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). For perspective, regular cardiovascular exercise and physical activity can lead to muscle hypertrophy with a 20% increase in muscle volume 42). Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is defined as a reversible form of abnormally increased intramuscular pressure during exercise or physical exertion secondary to noncompliance of osteofascial tissues to exercise-induced increases in muscle volume 43). Acute compartment syndrome is attributed to various causes (i.e., fracture, ischemia, improper casting, etc.) and often presents with extreme pain in a passive state as an emergency. Fasciotomy is the gold standard for relieving symptoms associated with acute compartment syndrome 44). | https://healthjade.net/fascial-hernia/ |

Content: Those who attributed disabilities such as arthritis to “old age” had significantly higher levels of heart disease and hearing loss compared with those who did not cite age as a factor. Being older and female can be a double whammy. Even health care providers fall into the ageism trap, Nelson points out. Providers may be reluctant to discuss using technology, fearing that an older patient may shy away from it. Or they may routinely attribute physical or mental symptoms like depression or aches and pains as a natural part of the aging process without looking for other causes. Many of these negative effects dissipate when the older adult doesn’t perceive themselves as fitting that stereotype. Rejecting stereotypes decreases the chances of developing psychological problems such as PTSD or anxiety, and also protects against physical decline. What will help even more, Nelson said, is for psychologists to educate the general public on the myths of aging and talk about the positive aspects of growing older. Also, consider the language used when describing older people. Ensuring social and physical support systems are in place and that older people have a purpose. | https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2016/06/how-ageism-can-negatively-affect-the-health-of-older-adults/ |

Nelson cites the foster grandparents program as one option for continued community involvement. Health professionals, most importantly, should check their own biases at the door when dealing with older adults. When older adults are viewed positively, it benefits their physical and mental health; it will also promote a society that is more considerate of their needs, values their contributions and doesn’t dismiss them as irrelevant. Many of us – including journalists – may be guilty of ageism without realizing it. | https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2016/06/how-ageism-can-negatively-affect-the-health-of-older-adults/ |

Content: What happens when a bee stings you? For most people, a bee sting is just a nuisance. You may experience temporary sharp pain, swelling, redness, warmth, and itching at the sting site, but no serious complications. If you’re allergic to bees, or you get stung multiple times, bee stings can be more problematic. They can even be life-threatening. When a honeybee stings you, its stinger is released into your skin. This ultimately kills the honeybee. Honeybees are the only type of bee that die after they sting. Wasps and other species don’t lose their stingers. They may sting you more than once. | https://healthline.com/health/outdoor-health/home-remedies-for-bee-stings |

Content: However, the range or reactions may also include an allergic reaction to the injected venom. Usually, the reaction is dependent on the number of times someone is sting and the victim’s allergic sensitivity to the venom. The following reactions may occur: A local, non-allergic reaction that produces swelling, itchiness, redness at the sting site and normally lasts for only a few hours and may as well last for few days. While these reactions may show up immediately after the sting, they usually show up a few hours after the sting. The allergic reactions to the venom or reactions from multiple bumble bee stings that can result in a general allergic reaction, a systematic reaction that affects the whole body, or an anaphylactic reaction that is a possible life- threatening allergic response. Always see your doctor for advice and care if the sting develops such complications to avoid more problems. How to avoid stings
The main and best way to avoid bumble bee sting is to stay away from their nests areas or flowers or other plants that host them. It is sometimes difficult to realize you are near a bumblebee nest, so if you discover you are next to the nest, it is important not to do anything that could provoke them.

Content: Although most stings cause only minor medical problems, some stings may cause serious medical problems and even death. Bumble bee sting and wasps stings causes
Bees and wasps inject venom by stinging unlucky people. Sometimes especially with bees, the stinger may be left in the skin. The venom is poisonous and may cause direct injury to the human body. This injury is usually confined to the areas close to the sting or stings. Swelling
It is very common that after an insect sting, you will develop a swelling on the area where the stinging occurred. This may be due to allergic reactions as new harsh elements have been introduced in the skin. After some few hours or days the pain and swelling may go away but for those who are more reactive there is need for more medical response to cab the problem. Bumble Bee Sting Pain
Bee stings can result to different reactions, ranging from temporary pain and discomfort to a severe allergic reaction. Having one type of reaction doesn’t mean you will always have the same reaction every time you are stung. | https://healthrid.org/bumble-bee-sting-pictures-swelling-pain-remedy-treat/ |

Content: Although the importance of genes cannot be overemphasized, however, they only make up a small percentage of all the DNA. Each individual has a specific number of chromosomes which are 23 in number. On each chromosome are found a particular set of genes and they have specific locations where they are found. During fertilization and eventual fetal development, these genes are passed down to an offspring and as such we can say that the child inherits his genes from his parents. There are two copies of each chromosome that are found in one individual and as such two copies of a particular gene. During copulation and fertilization, each parent gives up one pair of their gene to their offspring and as such, every baby grows up with two sets of genes. These babies grow and pass on two sets of genes to their offspring and the cycle continues on. The purpose of a gene is to carry out specific instructions for the body. Some genes do multitask by carrying out more than one instruction. These instructions that the gene carry out is mostly towards the formation of a particular protein and there are many types of proteins that carry out different functions. | https://healthtian.com/inherited-diseases/ |

These instructions that the gene carry out is mostly towards the formation of a particular protein and there are many types of proteins that carry out different functions. Proteins make up the building blocks of our bodies. Having established the importance of genes, there are certain diseases that are caused as a result of the malformations of these genes and these diseases are known as inherited or genetic diseases. Sometimes these genetic malformations are passed down from one set of genes of the parent to the offspring and at other times, there is a spontaneous change in the DNA that affects the formation of these genes. Due to the spontaneous change in the gene of the offspring, it is entirely possible to have a child with genetic disorders whereas the parents are healthy with no genetic malformations. This condition is known as a new mutation. | https://healthtian.com/inherited-diseases/ |

In conclusion:
Sources:
Content: Typically, most genetic disorders are passed down from parent to offspring making them inherited and this inheritance can either be in a dominant or a recessive manner. Generally, we have 22 chromosomes which come along with two copies of each gene. For females, they have two copies of all their genes on a single chromosome known as the X chromosome while for males, they have all their genes on two chromosomes which are the X and Y chromosome respectively. Hence the males will have a single copy of the X chromosome genes and a single copy of the Y chromosome genes while females have two copies of the X chromosome genes. For an inherited disease to be considered dominant, it means that the genetic disorder occurred on only one copy of the two genes. This gives the child a 50-50 probability of getting the disorder. The child may or may not get a genetic disease. However, an inherited disease is said to be recessive when there are genetic abnormalities in both copies of the gene. This means that both parents must carry at least one copy of the infected gene in order for the offspring to be infected. Once both parents have a copy of an abnormal gene, there is a 25% chance that the child will inherit the two abnormal genes and such causing the child to have an inherited disease. | https://healthtian.com/inherited-diseases/ |

It follows a C-shaped path as it passes the right kidney and the upper three lumbar vertebrae. Preparation for absorption by villi (small finger-like protrusions from the wall of the intestine) begins at the duodenum. The Jejunum: The jejunum is the second part of the small intestine; | https://healthtian.com/small-intestine/ |

I have had the same tests as you on the NHS plus vitamin D. Vitamin D was the only low one in my case but significant because I had symptoms of deficiency ie general aches and pains. lulujeanne in reply to lilliput 8 years ago
Thanks for replying, im glad they picked up on your vitamin D deficency. Can I ask, did they request your vitamin and iron tests seperarely or as part of a full blood test? My iron, b12 and folates were only tested as part of a full blood test. lulujeanne 8 years ago
And my GP refuses to test me for vitamin d levels... Argh! MCMC 8 years ago
Hi
I requested vit d, to be tested after seeking help from b12.org charity. My vit d slightly low, symptoms were tiredness, getting annoyed really easily and craving salty and sugary food. Its hard trying to figure out which deficiency is causing which symptoms, that's why I sought help from b12d.org. I also have pernicious anaemia. Take a look at their site, as you may need b12 even though your GP says you don't. | https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/130153307/can-you-have-a-full-vitamin-blood-panel-test-on-nhs |

Content: Iron needs to be good for you to convert your T4 into the ACTIVE T3. Maybe you are not converting well and a FT3 test would help to flag this problem up. Labs seem loathe to do it due to expense I believe. There is information on the main Thyroid UK Website about the Gene Test for D102 - if you have that gene then it indicates your problem with converting T4 to T3. Maybe at least show the article to your GP and ask for the FT3 test along with the TSH and FT4 and the above mentioned Vitamins. Remember also that your T4 is a storage hormone and it may well take several weeks before your body is depleted and you once again feel unwell....also less to convert into the ACTIVE T 3.....

I continued to gain weight when I first started on Levo, it took 18 months and calorie counting to get rid of 6st, I still have 1st to go but I had to be very disciplined with my diet and would often go for weeks and weeks with no weight loss which I'm sure is due to my thyroid. Hidden 8 years ago
Similar experience here - I put on 5 stone in a year when they zapped my thyroid and put me on levo 5 years ago. Glib doctors advised dieting, but dieting didn't make an ounce of difference. Very upsetting. At least my weight reached a plateau and I could start buying clothes again without growing out of them in a few months - even if they did have to be 4 sizes bigger! | https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/130157606/can-levothyroxine-make-you-gain-weight |

Your poor son! That must be such a worry for you all. Thyroid S is natural dessicated thyroid hormone (shorthand around the site is NDT). Doctors don't like to prescribe it. | https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/130157606/can-levothyroxine-make-you-gain-weight |

Pregnancy Test Kits: How to Use and When is the Best Time? by Dr. Sanjiv Khanse | Pregnancy
Pregnancy test kits also called the urine test kits for pregnancy are a convenient and easy-to-use method to test yourself for pregnancy at home if you have missed a period or exhibit early symptoms of pregnancy. The pregnancy kit, which is available at most drug stores over the counter without a prescription, offers explicit instructions, which you can follow and do the test yourself at your home. Additionally, it offers the advantage of convenience, privacy and being inexpensive. You can then see your doctor if the test is positive for advice, or if the test is negative for more sensitive tests. How do home pregnancy tests work?

You can then see your doctor if the test is positive for advice, or if the test is negative for more sensitive tests. How do home pregnancy tests work? The home pregnancy test is done by testing your urine. It works by detecting the presence of Human Chronic Gonadotropin hormone, (hCG), which is a hormone produced in the body when a woman becomes pregnant. HCG is produced by the embryo in the initial stages and later by the placenta. The concentration of hCG is low very early on after conception and its levels vary from woman to woman. Some test kits are more sensitive and can detect hCG even in these early pregnancy stages. However, it is best to do a home pregnancy test about a day after the missed period. | https://healthvigil.com/pregnancy-test-kits-use-how-when/ |

There are different brands of the home pregnancy kits available each with a different sensitivity. Ideally, the test is most sensitive when done one day after the missed period. Opinions differ, but this the best time to do the test. | https://healthvigil.com/pregnancy-test-kits-use-how-when/ |

Opinions differ, but this the best time to do the test. Doing the test before the missed period reduces its accuracy because there may not be enough hCG in the urine that can be detected by the test strips. However, improvements keep happening and newer kits with higher sensitivity levels keep coming. For example, a test with a higher sensitivity, which can detect hCG levels in the urine of 10mIU/ml (milli-International Units per milliliter) will tell if you’re pregnant earlier than a test with a sensitivity of 25mIU/ml.

If possible, buy a kit which has an FDA license number on it. In many countries, these kits may not come under the FDA and therefore, such a number may not be present. In such cases, you could identify a good kit by going in for one that is manufactured by a known and reliable brand. The advantage is they may be more sensitive and will give you the result earlier. | https://healthvigil.com/pregnancy-test-kits-use-how-when/ |

Content: The disadvantage is they are more expensive. If expense is on your mind, you could use a generic kit if you don’t mind waiting for a few more days for the result. Secondly, you have the option of going in for a regular kit with test strips or a digital home pregnancy test. Both are equally accurate except that the latter is more expensive. Types of pregnancy home testing kits
There are two types of home pregnancy test kits. The most commonly used test kit consists of a testing strip, which you hold in your urine stream while urinating or a dipstick, which you dip in the container in which you have collected your urine. This has to be done immediately within 15 minutes of having passed urine. If there is a change of color in the marked area at the end of the strip, it means you are pregnant. Different brands show different kinds of windows. Usually, most brands show two lines for a positive test and one line for a negative result. | https://healthvigil.com/pregnancy-test-kits-use-how-when/ |

The home pregnancy kit could also consist of a cup with a testing device. You put a few drops of urine with a dropper in the designated area of the device or immerse the device vertically in the cup of urine. Pregnancy is indicated by a change in color in the designated area of the device due to interaction with hCG, which is present in significant amount if the urine sample belongs to a pregnant woman. The second type is the digital pregnancy kit, which is used by placing the absorbent part of the strip in your urine midstream or vertically in a container containing your urine.for 20 seconds. Lay the digital strip flat and read the results after 3 minutes. | https://healthvigil.com/pregnancy-test-kits-use-how-when/ |

Content: This is especially important for our most vulnerable, undernourished students where school foodservice is a primary source of nutrition. Unintended Effects of Nutritional Policy
Improving students’ nutritional intake is not a new challenge, and much has been done toward improvements. However, there are public policies in place to encourage healthy consumption that may also be unintentionally exacerbating food waste. For example, over half of the nation’s public school students are currently eligible for free or reduced-price meals, [2] and the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requires that each reimbursable meal must include a serving of both fruits and vegetables (the child must take one or the other). Not only are school systems reporting revenue losses of 15% due to this new policy, [3] a study from Cornell/Brigham Young [4] suggests that requiring students to place fruits and veggies on their tray increases waste substantially. In fact, waste may amount to almost $5 million a day across all 31.6 million national school lunch eaters. An important consideration is that the USDA currently reimburses school lunchrooms $3.07 for each free lunch and $2.67 for a reduced price lunch; [ 5] with 21.5 million free and reduce lunch eaters, the potential daily waste of USDA funds exceeds $16 million if everyone wastes a 75 cent orange or apple. Profitability is Independent of Consumer Waste
All things considered, the business incentive for a school foodservice director is not in line with food waste reduction; directors are under pressure to get students to buy lunch, not necessarily to eat lunch. | https://healthy-food-choices-in-schools.extension.org/why-reducing-food-waste-in-school-meal-programs-matters/ |

Profitability is Independent of Consumer Waste
All things considered, the business incentive for a school foodservice director is not in line with food waste reduction; directors are under pressure to get students to buy lunch, not necessarily to eat lunch. School lunchrooms are primarily self-funded in terms of labor and infrastructure, and the number of lunch goers this year determines a school’s USDA food funding next year. So, the question becomes: Is there any business incentive for foodservice directors to reduce food waste? Only if it improves the bottom line. Some have argued that serving higher quality food would attenuate the waste issue and increase revenue by increasing consumption. | https://healthy-food-choices-in-schools.extension.org/why-reducing-food-waste-in-school-meal-programs-matters/ |

So, the question becomes: Is there any business incentive for foodservice directors to reduce food waste? Only if it improves the bottom line. Some have argued that serving higher quality food would attenuate the waste issue and increase revenue by increasing consumption. However, the federal reimbursement rate is the same for all school districts, and for schools districts like New York City, the price of food is so high that the gap between USDA reimbursement and the actual food cost exceeds a dollar per plate. This makes it exceptionally difficult to increase food quality, especially in lower income areas where free and reduced lunch is more prevalent (because fewer students are paying full plate price, so the reimbursement gap is more difficult to absorb). And, while parents would be thrilled to hear that their children are wasting less food, the increase in lunch price for a higher quality meal may drive more parents to pack their child’s lunch (reducing the rate of lunchroom eaters, thus reducing USDA funding for the following year). Foodservices need food buyers, and parents need food eaters

The best solution may be to implement inexpensive yet effective practices that simultaneously reduce waste and encourage consumption of the federally required yet historically wasted fruits and vegetables. Extant research provides evidence that children can be nudged toward fruit and veggie choice and consumption in the lunchroom. | https://healthy-food-choices-in-schools.extension.org/why-reducing-food-waste-in-school-meal-programs-matters/ |

The best solution may be to implement inexpensive yet effective practices that simultaneously reduce waste and encourage consumption of the federally required yet historically wasted fruits and vegetables. Extant research provides evidence that children can be nudged toward fruit and veggie choice and consumption in the lunchroom. For example, food naming and placement in the cafeteria can increase produce consumption by up to 70 percent. [ 6] Aside from food-focused strategies, seemingly unrelated components of the eating experience can also influence waste and consumption. For example, plate material has been shown to influence waste particularly in school lunchrooms, where disposable plates resulted in more food wasted than did permanent plates. [ 7] On the flip side, permanent plates resulted in more food taken and consumed from a buffet line. This result points to an important consideration for foodservice directors – that lunchroom serveware can be influential in both waste and consumption. | https://healthy-food-choices-in-schools.extension.org/why-reducing-food-waste-in-school-meal-programs-matters/ |

Content: The caveat is that permanent serveware comes with its own necessary costs, labor, and storage, so directors would need to consider the tradeoffs of costs for disposable vs. permanent items. Additionally, there is evidence to support that pre-meal activities can be influential; for example, extending the lunch period (from 20 to 30 minutes) or having recess before lunch can reduce plate waste by 30 percent or more [8]. These are just a few solutions that might reduce lunchroom food waste without negatively impacting profitability, require little to no adaptation in food policy, and encourage consumption of healthy items.

Arsenic: Health Effects and Exposure
Page Content
Article Body
Arsenic is a common metal found naturally in our environment. Arsenic occurs naturally in both organic (typically non-toxic) and inorganic forms. Inorganic arsenic is toxic and carcinogenic (cancer-causing). Sources of Exposure
Arsenic is widely present in nature. In the United States, there are higher concentrations of arsenic in the southwestern states, eastern Michigan, and parts of New England. In addition to being naturally present in the environment, arsenic has also been used for many years for industrial purposes including pest control, animal antimicrobial treatment, wood preservation, petroleum refining, and in the mining/smelting industries. Most industrial uses of arsenic employ the more toxic inorganic forms. | https://healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/all-around/Pages/Arsenic-Health-Effects-and-Exposure.aspx |

In addition to being naturally present in the environment, arsenic has also been used for many years for industrial purposes including pest control, animal antimicrobial treatment, wood preservation, petroleum refining, and in the mining/smelting industries. Most industrial uses of arsenic employ the more toxic inorganic forms. Release of arsenic through these processes can lead to increased inorganic arsenic in the atmosphere, in water, and in soil. Foods, particularly seafoods, can naturally contain large quantities of nontoxic, organic forms of arsenic. These nontoxic forms accumulate in foods through exposure to arsenic-containing soil and water. However, foods can also become contaminated with inorganic (toxic) arsenic from past use, inadvertent use, or misuse of pesticides or other industrial products. For example, chickens may have small amounts of inorganic arsenic-containing pesticides added to their feed to prevent infections, which can be transferred to humans through the environment or through the food supply. | https://healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/all-around/Pages/Arsenic-Health-Effects-and-Exposure.aspx |

Arsenic can affect every organ. Inorganic arsenic, in particular, has been associated with serious health effects including bladder, lung, and skin cancers. Prevention of Arsenic Exposure
Public health policies have primarily focused on control of arsenic in water. The EPA, through the Safe Drinking Water Act, is required to regulate the concentration of arsenic in water. | https://healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/all-around/Pages/Arsenic-Health-Effects-and-Exposure.aspx |

Public health policies have primarily focused on control of arsenic in water. The EPA, through the Safe Drinking Water Act, is required to regulate the concentration of arsenic in water. Beginning in 1947, the maximum contaminant level of arsenic in water was 50 parts per billion (ppb). Following recommendations by the Institute of Medicine, the acceptable level was lowered to 10 ppb. Lower standards have been proposed to reduce cancer risk, but municipal water systems are not currently capable of reducing levels further at reasonable cost with existing technology. The EPA also banned most home pesticide uses in 1991, and is phasing out some other industrial; i.e., agricultural, uses of arsenic. | https://healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/all-around/Pages/Arsenic-Health-Effects-and-Exposure.aspx |

Content: a little goes a long way to cover up the bitter taste of spinach. One of the healthiest and simplest ways to cover it up is with citrus. Choose between lemon, lime and orange, based on the flavor of the dish. Drizzle fresh juice over the leaves as soon as they’re done cooking. Toss the leaves with a bit of zest from the peel if the juice isn’t a strong enough flavor. Alternately, toss the spinach with crushed garlic or grated ginger root. Try Blanching
If you plan to use the spinach in a salad or need the leaves un-wilted for some other reason, blanch them to remove bitterness. Blanching refers to the process of submerging food in boiling water and then transferring it to a bowl of ice water. A 15-second dip in boiling water is enough. To remove them from the boiling water as soon as they’re done, keep the spinach leaves in a strainer for the whole process. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/avoid-bitter-cooked-spinach-4584.html |

The benefit of eating yogurt is improved health. Yogurt contains healthy bacteria, known as probiotics, that help keep your digestive and immune systems functioning well. It is also a good source of protein and nutrients important for bone health. Additionally, some studies suggest yogurt may aid weight loss. Osteoporosis Protection
Because yogurt is made from milk, it can be a good source of calcium and vitamin D -- the two most important nutrients for bone health, according to the National Osteopororis Foundation. An 8-ounce serving of plain, low-fat yogurt contains 415 milligrams of calcium, which is 42 percent of the daily requirement for adults. Men and women ages 19 to 50 need 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day and women over 70 need 1,200 milligrams. Eating three servings of yogurt a day would more than satisfy that requirement. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefit-yogurt-6643.html |

Probiotics may help treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with antibiotics; irritable bowel syndrome; and certain intestinal infections, according to Mayo Clinic. In a study published in the “Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition” in November 1990, babies and toddlers fed yogurt instead of milk had less diarrhea than the children given milk. Lactobacillus acidophilus, a type of good bacteria found in some yogurts, may be particularly beneficial for irritable bowel syndrome. Weight Loss
Yogurt may speed weight loss due to its low calorie content and fat-burning properties, according to a study published in the January 2005 issue of the “International Journal of Obesity.” Obese people in the study who ate yogurt as part of a reduced-calorie diet lost more body fat and retained more lean tissue than those who didn’t eat yogurt. The yogurt eaters also lost 81 percent more weight in their midsections. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefit-yogurt-6643.html |

To receive the benefits of yogurt without packing on pounds, choose low-fat, low-sugar yogurt. A 6-ounce container of low-fat yogurt without added sugar contains from 90 to 120 calories, and nonfat yogurt has less than 0.5 percent milk fat. Sugar from fruit is healthier than high-fructose corn syrup that may be added to yogurt. Even frozen yogurt is lower in fat than ice cream. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefit-yogurt-6643.html |

Content: Overall Nutrition in Yogurt
An 8-ounce container of plain, low-fat yogurt supplies 12 grams of protein for just 143 calories – 24 percent of the daily value for this nutrient on a 2,000-calorie diet. If you choose 7 ounces of plain, low-fat Greek yogurt, you increase the protein count to 20 grams for the same number of calories. Protein supports muscle, organ, and tissue development and function, and keeps you feeling satiated so you don’t overeat. In addition, a container of plain, low-fat yogurt is an excellent source of calcium, a nutrient that builds strong bones and teeth. One 8-ounce serving supplies a whopping 42 percent of the daily value for this mineral. Probiotic Benefits
As a fermented dairy product, yogurt contains probiotics, cultures that support the growth of “friendly” bacteria in the gut. Probiotics promote good digestive health by helping you absorb more nutrients from food as it travels through the digestive tract. A study published in Advances in Nutrition in 2017 found that eating yogurt with fruit provides a perfect combination of probiotics and prebiotics – a type of fiber that also improves digestion. Heart Health
Eating yogurt on a regular basis also benefits heart health, according to a study published in the American Journal of Hypertension in 2018. The researchers found that women and men with high blood pressure who ate two or more servings of yogurt a week decreased their risk of cardiovascular disease by 17 and 21 percent, respectively. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefits-eating-yogurt-regular-basis-7701.html |

This was compared to those who ate less than a serving of yogurt per month. Weight Management Potential
A review of clinical studies, published in 2015 in the International Journal of Obesity, suggested that those who eat yogurt regularly may experience better weight management – lower body mass indexes, smaller waist measurements, less weight gain, and lower amounts of body fat. Although some of the trials reviewed had limitations, the authors concluded that better-designed trials would help confirm yogurt’s role in the maintenance of a healthy weight. Yogurt Tips
You can undo some of the benefits of eating yogurt regularly if you don’t choose brands wisely. The best yogurt for overall health is plain – whether regular, Greek, or Icelandic, and whether it’s made from the milk of cows, sheep, or goats. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefits-eating-yogurt-regular-basis-7701.html |

Healthy Food Choices
By Krista Sheehan Updated December 17, 2018
Just as a concrete barrier would block your path while driving along a road, a variety of physical and mental barriers can block your path when you're attempting to make healthy changes in your life. Once you identify your barriers, you can develop strategies to overcome them and get back on track to a healthier lifestyle. Cost
It’s a common misconception that a healthy lifestyle has to be expensive. While gym memberships and organic foods can quickly empty your pockets, there are plenty of inexpensive options available. Free exercise ideas include running or walking outdoors and developing an exercise routine to do at home. Many effective exercises -- like squats, push-ups, jumping jacks and triceps dips -- require no special equipment or training. Food is a different story, since you have to spend at least a little money to acquire it. If possible, grow a small garden at home. Save money at the grocery store by buying fruits and vegetables only when they are in season. During the off-season, rely on frozen varieties. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/healthy-lifestyle-barriers-6556.html |

Save money at the grocery store by buying fruits and vegetables only when they are in season. During the off-season, rely on frozen varieties. Opt for eggs or plant-based protein sources like beans, which tend to be cheaper than most meats. Time Constraints
For many people, finding time to exercise and prepare healthy meals seems like an impossible challenge. But with a few simple tweaks, you can easily adjust your schedule to allow for healthy changes. Consider substituting 30 minutes of television or computer time with a quick exercise session. You can also squeeze 10-minute exercise sessions into your day -- begin your day with a quick morning yoga routine, go for a walk after lunch or do lunges and squats while dinner is in the oven. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/healthy-lifestyle-barriers-6556.html |

Social events and interactions often revolve around food, making it difficult to ignore the unhealthy treats your friends are enjoying. Eliminating temptation is an almost-impossible feat. Instead, develop diversions and alternatives to rely on when temptation strikes. If you tend to rely on fast food to fill your belly in the afternoon, pack a healthy to-go lunch the night before. If you always reach for ice cream when you’re feeling lonely, pop a stick of gum in your mouth and call a friend or go for a walk. Knowledge Deficit

The biggest barrier to a healthy lifestyle might boil down to one simple factor -- a knowledge deficit. If you don’t know what types of changes you need to make to improve your lifestyle, you won’t even know where to start. Begin by talking to your doctor, who can clue you into areas of your health that might need improvement. As a general rule, plan to exercise at least 150 minutes per week. Overhaul your diet by choosing fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, low-fat dairy and whole grains as often as possible. Avoid fried, fatty and sugary foods. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/healthy-lifestyle-barriers-6556.html |

Content: Although it is found along the northern coasts of both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, dulse is not yet a common ingredient in Western cuisine. Earl Mindell, Ph. D, a professor of nutrition at Pacific Western University and author of “Greens Are Good for You!” notes that dulse is loaded with trace minerals that are found in lesser amounts in soil-grown plant foods. It is particularly rich in iodine, a mineral that promotes healthy thyroid function. Kombu
A strain of brown algae, kombu grows in the chilly seas off Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido. Relatively high in protein content for a seaweed, kombu is rich in iodine and also contains high amounts of other minerals such as calcium, germanium, iron, magnesium, potassium, silica and zinc, according to “Linda Page’s Healthy Healing.” Nori
Most familiar to Westerners as the wrapper used for sushi, nori is a type of red algae that is harvested, dried and rolled into thin sheets. After processing for sushi use, the dried sheets of nori take on a dark green, almost black coloration. Like kombu, nori is a good source of protein and contains plenty of minerals, including calcium, iodine, iron and phosphorus, according to “Linda Page’s Healthy Healing.” | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/minerals-kelp-seaweed-1281.html |

Another member of the brown algae family of seaweeds, wakame is particularly rich in calcium but also contains other minerals such as iron and potassium. The Japanese use wakame as an ingredient in soups and simmered dishes and as an accompaniment to rice. Japanese cooks also toast and crumble wakame for use as a condiment. ‒‒:‒‒

Eggplant is low in calories and contains notable amounts of dietary fiber, making it a healthful addition to any diet. If you have a craving for a crispy treat, thin-sliced, fried eggplant provides a satisfying crunch with a burst of flavor. The oil and breading increase the caloric and fat content, but fried eggplant remains healthier than chips or greasy french fries. Ingredients and Healthy Suggestions
Thin-sliced, fried eggplant needs a breading to keep it crisp, as eggplant is high in water and becomes soft when cooked. Basic ingredients include egg, salt, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, eggplant and oil for frying. Canola oil contains high levels of heart-healthy fats with minimal saturated fat -- it is one of the best frying options. Use only as much oil as necessary to coat the bottom of your skillet. Once the eggplant has fried, set the slices on paper towels to drain extra oil before serving. One serving of thin-sliced, fried eggplant weighs about 3 ounces. Calories, Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium
A 3-ounce serving of thin-sliced, fried eggplant contains 101 calories, only 17 of which are from the 2 grams of fat. | https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/nutritional-thin-sliced-fried-eggplant-2648.html |

One of the most salient benefits of Schisandra berries is its ability to protect the liver. Schisandra help to support liver function and protect the liver from damage due to its content of lignans. Several preliminary studies have found that Schisandra helps to improve liver function and help to prevent the development of fatty liver disease. Another study in 2010 found that Schisandra help prevent the body’s rejection of a new liver post-transplant. This is due to the fact that Schisandra encourage the development of a compound called Tacrolimis. Finally, Schisandra help improve liver function by helping to cleanse the liver of toxins. This not only helps to take the stress off the liver, which is responsible for filtering toxins out of the body, but it also significantly helps with preserve the overall health of the body by ridding your body of harmful waste. | https://healthyfocus.org/health-benefits-of-schisandra/ |

Content: Fortunately, Schisandra helps to control the release of hormones and helps the body adapt to stress. When your body is better able to cope with stress, you are less likely to suffer from illness and mental fatigue. When you increase your intake of adaptogens, you are less likely to fall prey to the effects of anxiety, stress, mental fatigue, mental illness, and even environmental toxins. Schisandra improve the function of the adrenal glands, which help to balance the production of cortisol, a stress hormone that can wreak havoc on your body when produced in abundance. When your stress hormones are under control, your overall health is greatly improved. Keeping your hormones in balance boosts your immune system, improves heart health, increases your energy, and maintains mental health. 3) Reduces Inflammation

Not Backed by Experts
The Facts
Content: In 2007, Marketdata Enterprises estimated that the diet industry was generating about $55 billion dollars annually, which can be attributed to the 72 million dieters in America. Poor Rationale
Your body requires a well-rounded diet for energy, function, tissue repair, immunity and maintenance. Seeming to disregard this, the creators of fad diets encourage you to ban or exalt a particular food or food group, maintaining that certain foods are bad and should never be eaten, while others have newly discovered, magical fat-burning powers. A diet plan requiring you to forgo balanced meals in favor of a single food -- or concoction of tree syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper -- will leave you bereft of enough whole grains, dairy, vegetables, fruit and protein-rich foods and may cause you to dread meal time. Too Good to Be True
Fad diets propagate claims that promise maximum weight loss with minimal effort in a short amount of time. These assertions can be very attractive to cyclic dieters who are frustrated and looking for a quick fix, but losing 30 pounds in 30 days is not recommended. You may lose weight initially, but this is often regained as soon as the regimen is over because you are not shown how to eat a balanced diet. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, rapid weight loss can result in loss of water, muscle and bone mass, while your intention may have been to get rid of fat. Blame
Fad diets often fault genetics, hormone imbalances or improper cleansing function for unwanted weight gain instead of the likely relation to excessive intake of calories or insufficient levels of physical activity. Other usual scapegoats are carbohydrates and fat, as if their consumption can cause imbalances in the body and restricting them will restore your body's balance. | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/characteristics-fad-diets-16641.html |

Content: Signs of Insecurity
Insecure feelings arise when an individual is not sure or confident about an issue that is personally important to him. Insecurity can also be expressed as feeling shaky or uncertain. Being insecure implies not feeling entirely stable or at ease in a situation. An insecure person may be worried about the stability of his finances, for example, by holding a deep-seated fear of not having enough money or resources to get by. A fear of change or an inability to take action toward a particular goal often reflects feelings of insecurity. Insecurity and low self-esteem often go hand in hand. Insecurity in Relationships
Insecure feelings may also manifest jealousy in personal relationships, as fear of losing a friend or object of affection is mentally envisioned. The insecure person often does not feel worthy of his partner, and may feel that if his partner so much as talks to another person, the partner will discover someone who is better. Insecurity is often rooted in a deep-seated fear of being rejected. A need to control or dominate is a sign of an insecure individual. | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/signs-of-insecurity-anxiety-12187679.html |

Synthroid is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring thyroid hormone. It is used medically to treat hypothyroidism and users have taken it to manage obesity or lose weight in bodybuilding. Patients with certain pre-existing conditions should not take Synthroid as its use can lead to a number of detrimental side effects, including overdose and death. Identification
Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) is a pharmaceutically produced synthetic version of the naturally occurring thyroid hormone thyroxine. According to the pharmaceutical information website drugs.com, Synthroid use is indicated for patients of all ages (including children and infants) with low natural levels of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) caused by thyroid malfunction or atrophy, injury or damage to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, surgery, radiation or the effects of other drugs. Synthroid can also be used to treat patients suffering from thyroid cancer, those who have had their thyroid surgically removed or patients with a goiter (swelling of the thyroid). Effects
In healthy patients, thyroxine acts to stimulate and regulate the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and vitamins. | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/synthroid-for-weight-loss-12218911.html |

Content: During a session with a client, the effective counselor must use different questioning techniques to address the client’s main issues. Open-Ended Questions
Using open-ended questions during a counseling session encourages a client to provide more information to the counselor. Open-ended questions allow the client to only respond in complete sentences. When answering in an open-ended question format, clients will generally disclose deeper information that includes feelings, thoughts, attitudes and understanding of the subject being discussed. These questions can help the therapist and client work through a treatment plan by discovering any flawed beliefs or unresolved feelings. Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is a counseling technique that allows a therapist to summarize a client’s statement to demonstrate that she was actively listening. As a questioning technique, paraphrasing can be extremely effective as it gives the client an opportunity to clarify any information that may have been missed by the therapist. Paraphrasing also encourages clients to expand on any previous statements as it allows them to reflect on information they have relayed and add to it if necessary. Close-Ended Questions
Close-ended questions should typically be discouraged during a therapy session, as they do not allow a client to expand on statements or provide deeper information about themselves. Close-ended questions can be useful to clients that are experiencing loose associations. | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/techniques-in-questioning-the-client-in-counseling-12354147.html |

Vitamin B12 is one of the most essential vitamins within the B-vitamin family. Many doctors and natural health care practitioners use vitamin B12 to help seriously ill or weak patients. This vitamin works best when taken with other B-vitamins, but it can also work very well taken alone. The best way to take vitamin B12 really depends on the person and his needs so I am going to address different needs. Shots
Vitamin B12 shots are used by doctors to give a specific dose of this vitamin to their patients. This is needed when a person has poor digestion or other health problems, making it difficult to absorb vitamin B12. The shot is concentrated and administered directly into the bloodstream. This method of treatment is quite effective, but it is not the best method for everyone. These shots can only be administered by a doctor. | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/the-best-way-to-take-vitamin-b12-12194326.html |

Vitamin B12 can also be taken in liquid form. This method is great for people who may have a few digestive issues, but they don’t have serious health problems to warrant a prescription. If a person is worried about absorption, then taking liquid vitamin B12 is the best option to ensure that the right level of nutrients is received. Pills
Vitamin B12 can be taken in pill form either combined with a multi-vitamin, other B-vitamins or by itself. Pills tend to take longer to dissolve in the body so this method is best for people who are healthy and have a normal digestive system. A person with a truly healthy digestive system will have three bowel movements per day. In order to promote a healthy digestive system, a person can take probiotic supplements and take steps to become regular. Benefits
There are many benefits of taking Vitamin B12 a specific way. Liquid vitamins are generally the best for most people because of the absorption rate, but if you are a person who needs to ensure that you get the right dosage then B12 shots are the best. If you suffer from anemia, fibromaliyga or any other health problems, the shots will probably be the best option for you. | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/the-best-way-to-take-vitamin-b12-12194326.html |

In order to really feel the effect of vitamin B12, the dosage should be 50 mg or higher. In some cases, the shots have very high doses, but this is because these shots are meant for specific health problems. The results can clearly be seen soon after a shot because a person will notice a big difference in how he feels right away.

Whether you are donating blood or getting blood tests, when cold, hard steel mixes with delicate inner tissues and veins, many things can go wrong. If you experience unusual or prolonged pain after getting blood drawn, you may be at risk for a rare but serious condition. Considerations
Under-trained or careless technicians might cause damage to your veins, tendons or nerves with improper needle insertion. Make sure the technician is certified and stop the procedure if you feel intense pain. Features
Having blood drawn requires a larger needle than blood tests, causing a higher rate of donor injuries. Nerve damage and chronic pain are the most common symptoms. Expert Insight
According to Dr. Spero Cataland of the Ohio State University College of Medicine, minor pain and irritation is normal for up to 12 hours, but if pain is severe or prolonged you should contact a physician. | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/why-veins-get-sore-after-having-blood-drawn-12260711.html |

Content: How does culture affect the way we see ourselves? The researchers Hazel Markus and Shinobu Kitayama have studied how an individual’s cultural background affects how they view themselves. People from individualistic cultures are more likely to have an independent view of themselves (they see themselves as separate from others, define themselves based on their personal traits, and see their characteristics as relatively stable and unchanging). On the other hand, people from collectivistic cultures are more likely to have an interdependent view of themselves (they see themselves as connected to others, define themselves in terms of relationships with others, and see their characteristics as more likely to change across different contexts). Going back to the example I began this post with, people from individualistic cultures are more likely to mention personal traits when finishing the sentence “I am…”, while people from collectivistic cultures are more likely to list relationships and group memberships. While individualism/collectivism can be measured in any culture, much of the research so far has been conducted on East Asian and Western cultures. Researchers have found that Western cultures tend to be more individualistic while East Asian cultures tend to be more collectivistic. However, it’s important to remember that many factors can influence individualism/collectivism, so individuals within a culture can also differ in their levels of independence/interdependence. Individualism and collectivism can even be affected by the situational context. For example, one study found that individuals from two cultural backgrounds became more individualistic when shown images relating to an individualistic culture and more collectivistic when shown images relating to a collectivistic culture. | https://healthypsych.com/individualist-or-collectivist-how-culture-influences-behavior/ |

Content: European Americans had lower cortisol levels if they wrote a letter asking for support, while Asian Americans had lower cortisol levels if they wrote about a group they were close to. In other words, what this study shows is that cultural background can influence the type of social support that we benefit from when we’re facing a stressful event. What can cultural psychology tell us about psychology research? Most social psychologists have conducted their studies on participants from Western countries. However, Western research participants aren’t representative of the world as a whole: many psychology findings don’t look the same when we do include participants from other cultures. So when reading about psychology research, it’s important to consider the cultural background of the research participants—and if the research used primarily Western participants, to think about how collectivistic research participants might have responded differently. How does this affect you? Cultural psychology has a number of take-home lessons. For example, therapists should be aware that cultural background can impact how comfortable someone feels opening up to others about personal problems. | https://healthypsych.com/individualist-or-collectivist-how-culture-influences-behavior/ |

Content: Gently place the pork tenderloin in the hot skillet. Sear 2 minutes on the first side, without moving, to form a nice well-browned crust. Use tongs to gently flip to the other side, and sear 2 minutes on that side as well. Finish by searing the two remaining sides, 1 minute each. Turn the heat off. Use tongs to transfer the seared pork tenderloin to the prepared roasting rack. Place in the hot oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees F (medium), 20-30 minutes. If roasting for longer than 20 minutes, cover the pork loosely with foil to prevent the top from burning. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven. Loosely cover it with foil and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. | https://healthyrecipesblogs.com/roasted-pork-tenderloin/ |

What Is Considered Too “Friendly” When You Are In A Relationship?
Being friendly while in a relationship
Being too friendly is just another way of saying flirting. It’s being too friendly is being overly nice to someone other than who you are in a relationship with. It goes from being friendly to crossing lines. When we are in relationships we still exist in the world to other people that we knew before the relationship. We will also meet new people throughout life. Being too friendly needs causes so many problems of relationships can even be the cause of a breakup.
Ways to be too friendly
1. Embracing another woman or man too long with a greeting or goodbye hug. In some cultures, you are kissed on both sides of the cheeks when greeted. Some people kiss one side of someone’s cheek. These “friendly” kisses are considered too friendly when they take longer than 1 or 2 seconds.
2. That social media is something else! People can post pictures and videos of themselves online for people to like and comment on. The problem is, our social media accounts are being closely monitored by lovers with or without our knowledge. With that said, they know about pretty much every single post, comment, like, share, etc. that we did. When you like a handsome man’s picture and your man see’s this, it can make him feel some type of way. You need to protect yourself from any mental anguish.
3. Long conversating. “Hey, how are you doing?” is okay and if you have to communicate with them for work duties fine. There doesn’t need to be a long conversation. If they do conduct a conversation, what is the conversation about? The context of the conversation says everything.
Were they talking about how they are doing in life? Or are they talking about how nice she looks in that dress she has on?… Anything more than asking someone how they are doing that is being too friendly. This can make your partner jealous. Our partners should never feel jealous of anyone because of our behavior.
4. Keep looking at each other. When you are in a relationship, you should not continue to catch eye contact with someone else. It’s not that hard to look somewhere else.
Why are you even looking at them so many times? There are also certain kinds of looks. Looks say things without people having to open their mouths. Looking at someone a certain way can let a person know you like them or you want them. This is an unhealthy relationship behavior.
5. Being playful toward each other. They might not be in the conversation by themselves but every time this person says something you are laughing at everything they say. Everything they say is so interesting. This person has your undivided attention.
6. Offering them something to drink or eat. They can fix their own food! It really depends on the situation though.
7. Staying in contact with exes. Why is contact with an ex needed at all? That situation should be dead. If they are an ex, let them be an EX! That means they should be cut off unless kids are involved. Some people think they should be able to stay friends with their exes. I don’t think so. Ex means they should be EXITING your life for good.
There is a fine line between being friendly and too friendly (aka flirting). You can tell a lot just from someone’s body language. Being too friendly while in a relationship is very disrespectful to the person you are with. It could jeopardize the relationship. There is this little thing called respect.
We are supposed to learn as kids to do unto others as you would have them do to you. How would you feel about your partner being too friendly? People forget about this when they are doing something they are not supposed to. Being too often friendly leads to other things. People must know how to behave towards other people while in a relationship.
There should be mental boundaries for yourself that you know not to cross when in a relationship. There should be boundaries put in place for other people who may not have known you are in a relationship, so it may take them being reminded so they won’t continue being “too friendly”.
This will give the person you are being too friendly with the wrong impression. This will also give the person you are in a relationship with the wrong impression. As humans, we have feelings. This is natural to feel upset if the person we love is partaking in being disrespectful.
Be sure you are not being over jealous just because your partner said hello to someone. They might bump into someone they went to high school or college with that they never dated but just new them from being in their class. We all should be able to be polite to people. It’s all about respecting your partner.
We can still exist in the world even if you are in a relationship. There needs to be a strong foundation of trust built in a relationship. If you want to have a happy and healthy relationship, you will act accordingly. Questionable behavior is never okay. Watch out for people who know you are happy. Some people will try to make your life miserable because their life is miserable.
If you ever find that you are going through this with your partner, the best thing to do is communicate your feelings. Be very thorough about what they did that you felt was too friendly. Hopefully, (if you are with someone who loves you) they will apologize because they realize they made a mistake and never do it again. What if they do it again? Repeatedly?
That’s when you might start looking into other options for yourself such as a breakup. You should be with someone who really loves and respects you. Never feel like you have to settle for less. Your partner should be a source of reducing stress in your life and not be the cause of more of it.

This will give the person you are being too friendly with the wrong impression. This will also give the person you are in a relationship with the wrong impression. As humans, we have feelings. This is natural to feel upset if the person we love is partaking in being disrespectful.
Be sure you are not being over jealous just because your partner said hello to someone. They might bump into someone they went to high school or college with that they never dated but just new them from being in their class. We all should be able to be polite to people. It’s all about respecting your partner.
We can still exist in the world even if you are in a relationship. There needs to be a strong foundation of trust built in a relationship. If you want to have a happy and healthy relationship, you will act accordingly. Questionable behavior is never okay. Watch out for people who know you are happy. Some people will try to make your life miserable because their life is miserable.
If you ever find that you are going through this with your partner, the best thing to do is communicate your feelings. Be very thorough about what they did that you felt was too friendly. Hopefully, (if you are with someone who loves you) they will apologize because they realize they made a mistake and never do it again. What if they do it again? Repeatedly?
That’s when you might start looking into other options for yourself such as a breakup. You should be with someone who really loves and respects you. Never feel like you have to settle for less. Your partner should be a source of reducing stress in your life and not be the cause of more of it.

What Is Considered Too “Friendly” When You Are In A Relationship?
Being friendly while in a relationship
Being too friendly is just another way of saying flirting. It’s being too friendly is being overly nice to someone other than who you are in a relationship with. It goes from being friendly to crossing lines. When we are in relationships we still exist in the world to other people that we knew before the relationship. We will also meet new people throughout life. Being too friendly needs causes so many problems of relationships can even be the cause of a breakup.
Ways to be too friendly
1. Embracing another woman or man too long with a greeting or goodbye hug. In some cultures, you are kissed on both sides of the cheeks when greeted. Some people kiss one side of someone’s cheek. These “friendly” kisses are considered too friendly when they take longer than 1 or 2 seconds.
2. That social media is something else! People can post pictures and videos of themselves online for people to like and comment on. The problem is, our social media accounts are being closely monitored by lovers with or without our knowledge. With that said, they know about pretty much every single post, comment, like, share, etc. that we did. When you like a handsome man’s picture and your man see’s this, it can make him feel some type of way. You need to protect yourself from any mental anguish.
3. Long conversating. “Hey, how are you doing?” is okay and if you have to communicate with them for work duties fine. There doesn’t need to be a long conversation. If they do conduct a conversation, what is the conversation about? The context of the conversation says everything.
Were they talking about how they are doing in life? Or are they talking about how nice she looks in that dress she has on?… Anything more than asking someone how they are doing that is being too friendly. This can make your partner jealous. Our partners should never feel jealous of anyone because of our behavior.
4. Keep looking at each other. When you are in a relationship, you should not continue to catch eye contact with someone else. It’s not that hard to look somewhere else.
Why are you even looking at them so many times? There are also certain kinds of looks. Looks say things without people having to open their mouths. Looking at someone a certain way can let a person know you like them or you want them. This is an unhealthy relationship behavior.
5. Being playful toward each other. They might not be in the conversation by themselves but every time this person says something you are laughing at everything they say. Everything they say is so interesting. This person has your undivided attention.
6. Offering them something to drink or eat. They can fix their own food! It really depends on the situation though.
7. Staying in contact with exes. Why is contact with an ex needed at all? That situation should be dead. If they are an ex, let them be an EX! That means they should be cut off unless kids are involved. Some people think they should be able to stay friends with their exes. I don’t think so. Ex means they should be EXITING your life for good.
There is a fine line between being friendly and too friendly (aka flirting). You can tell a lot just from someone’s body language. Being too friendly while in a relationship is very disrespectful to the person you are with. It could jeopardize the relationship. There is this little thing called respect.
We are supposed to learn as kids to do unto others as you would have them do to you. How would you feel about your partner being too friendly? People forget about this when they are doing something they are not supposed to. Being too often friendly leads to other things. People must know how to behave towards other people while in a relationship.
There should be mental boundaries for yourself that you know not to cross when in a relationship. There should be boundaries put in place for other people who may not have known you are in a relationship, so it may take them being reminded so they won’t continue being “too friendly”.
