The escalating pandemic of COVID&#x2d;19 created a perfect storm for stress, anxiety, depression, and the newly described "pandemic fatigue."

Stress is the natural response of the body to challenging events, causing your mind to be focused and alert. However, when stress doesn't subside, the effects can be serious.
Stress can disrupt your sense of well-being and lower the quality of your life. It is a medical problem that can be overwhelming and persistent, which interferes with your normal functioning. Most commonly, stress is related to work, family, personal issues or housing.

The most common symptoms of stress include physical complaints, fears and worries, rapid heart rate, upset stomach, and the avoidance of social interactions. While the cause of stress is uncertain, the problem is often a result of a combination of factors including brain chemistry, genetics, life events, and personality.

There are special stress therapies that address both the social environment and emotional needs of a person who is experiencing stress. Your doctor will evaluate all your symptoms in the context of your situation and life events, all while helping you overcome stress and prescribing suitable treatments.

Ailments

An "ailment" is a general term for minor to moderate physical illnesses, diseases, and disorders. In Facty Health, many different diagnoses fall under the ailment category. For example, acid reflux, eye disorders, skin problems, and GI problems, are considered an ailment.

In this category, you can discover natural home remedies for common symptoms. You will find that there is probably a miracle ingredient hiding in your pantry right now. Learn what foods to stay away from and which foods can help ease certain conditions. You can even learn to spot the early warning signs of some of the more severe diseases. Expect to find detailed and interesting information about the types of ailments, their symptoms, causes, and treatments.

If you have questions about a specific ailment or you just have a general curiosity for medicine, this would be a good place to start.

In addition to tracking workouts, a fitness tracker can count steps, gauge sleep quality, track calorie intake, and more. Should you get one?

Fitness is a condition that helps people feel and do their best. Fitness helps our bodies perform what we need, whether it is enjoying a walk, doing household tasks or running a marathon. When you set your fitness goals, you should consider your skills, age, fitness level and health. When you start out slowly, you will slowly progress to the higher levels.

&nbsp;
Whether you are new to fitness or a fitness-guru, you should always start with a warm-up and end with a cool-down. A warm-up includes ten to fifteen minutes of low-intensity activity, such as jogging, walking, arm circles, trunk rotations or knee lifts. A cool-down includes ten minutes of low-level exercise, slow walking and stretching. As a rule of thumb, you should try to perform moderate intensity activity most days of the week, for example, do brisk walking.

&nbsp;
Fitness is available to anyone. Everyone can increase their level of fitness if they have motivation and willingness to adjust their lifestyle to their fitness goals.

The Ups and Downs of Using a Fitness Tracker

Ketones are chemicals produced by the liver when the body breaks down fat. They serve as a source of fuel for tissues of the heart, brain, and muscle.

Wellness is associated with your lifestyle. Wellness depends on many factors, such as proper weight control, good nutrition, avoiding risk factors such as alcohol abuse and smoking and exercise. People who manage their lifestyle are more productive, healthier and have fewer workplace absences.

Since lifestyle is the leading factor determining your general health, it is important to set healthy goals and have control over your life. The choices you make have a huge influence on your wellness; therefore consistent self-care is vital. While medicine can cure the disease, the wellness lifestyle encourages you to take responsibility for your life.

Wellness is not an absence of diseases. It is an approach developed to achieve the balance between social and emotional functioning. Wellness is a process through which you start making choices towards a healthier lifestyle.

Wellness is a positive approach to life, which emphasizes the importance of the mind and spirit. A wellness-oriented lifestyle means that everything you feel, say and do has an impact on your health.

Anxiety is natural and, for most, goes away when the threat does. Trait anxiety is when anxiety remains despite there being no immediate threat.

The anxiety disorder is a group of mental conditions caused by a combination of factors or possibly more complicated mental illnesses. Anxiety disorder has a tremendous impact on the world's population, where as many as every fourth individual is prone to suffering from it. It takes up to six months for the symptoms of anxiety disorder to manifest. 12% of the world's population is diagnosed with this disorder every year, and every person on earth has a 5-30% chance of suffering from anxiety disorder during their lifetime. Knowledge of its early appearance makes it highly treatable, while later treatment may prove completely futile.

&nbsp;
The misconception that anxiety disorder is a sort of social fear is completely untrue because fear is an emotion displayed in the face of something perceived as a threat, while anxiety is a feeling of unease in specific situations. Aside from sweaty palms, occasional shivering, profuse sweating, tooth grinding and even sexual dysfunction, anxiety is recognizable by some symptoms that can be identified through questionnaires. This disorder can be treated with various remedies that are also used for much more serious mental complications. While it does not pose a serious health threat in itself, the constant tension that accompanies it can do serious damage to the nervous system.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.
