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.

Acarophobia is a condition in which one believes their body is infested with small insects or similar parasites, resulting in fear and depression.

Mental health is a state of psychological and emotional well-being. It can also be seen as the absence of mental illness. A healthy brain is important for people of all ages. However, the prognosis for many patients dealing with mental illness is pretty good, and many people live healthy and happy lives by effectively managing their symptoms.

Just like medicine that is focused on physical ailments, there are varying degrees of severity to mental illnesses. Some illnesses range from very minor to extremely debilitating. And just like physical ailments, the sooner a patient can be accurately diagnosed and receive treatment, the better.

Maintaining good mental health and wellness is beneficial, but not easy. There can be a lot of reasons why a person develops a mental illness. The cause could be genetic, environmental, stress-based, situational, or the result of unresolved past trauma.

Unlike physical ailments, there is a stigma behind mental illness due to the fact that it is fairly invisible. You never know who is dealing with what unless they choose to tell you. In addition to this, it's a newer school of medicine than physical ailments and is constantly evolving and being re-written. The mental health section of Facty Health is a good place to learn more about specific mental illnesses, their symptoms, and their treatments.

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.

Huntsman spiders are the common name for the Sparassidae family. This family of spiders includes 1,027 identified species in temperate or tropical regions of Australia, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

Everyone’s favorite Mythbuster, Adam Savage, once said: “the difference between screwing around and science is writing it down!” So true, Adam, so true. As long as you record your observations, you’re a scientist. Scientists gather knowledge, make observations, write them down, and test their theories. This process is known as the scientific method.

There are three main branches of science: physics, chemistry, and biology. These sciences combine with other fields to make specializations. For example, if you wanted to be a doctor, you would study human biology and organic chemistry. If you wanted to be an astronomer, you would study astronomy and astrophysics.

Those that study the sciences will tell you how closely related math, science, and engineering are. The acronym, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), refers to the close relationship between these fields. People in STEM industries help to shape our understanding of the world. Without STEM, our quality of life would be poor. Not only would we be without cell phones and computers, but we also wouldn’t have vaccines and surgery. At this point in history, it is hard to imagine what our lives would look like without it.

Benign fasciculation syndrome or BFS causes involuntary twitches, spasms, subjective weakness, cramps, tingling, or numbness in at least one muscle. Most people experience twitches in an eyelid or random muscle spasms, but people are diagnosed with BFS when symptoms are recurring and negatively impact daily life.

Muscles aren't just for weight lifting. They serve important purposes in your body. The muscular system allows you to move freely and stand up straight. The heart, one of the most important muscles of all, pumps blood throughout your entire body. Some muscles you can control and others, like your heart, are completely autonomous. Reflexes and small muscle contractions allow you to coordinate and balance with little mental effort. For example, during a road collision, your muscles may direct you safely through reflexes faster than your brain can think of a solution.

&nbsp;

A muscle is made from strong, but elastic tissue. Depending on how you exercise, certain muscles can be stiffer or more flexible than others. Muscles are susceptible to tearing, pulling, and soreness. When exercising it is important to not push your muscles too hard. While soreness can feel like a sign of a successful workout, excessive soreness is never a good thing.

Though there are many types and causes of scalp infections, most varieties present with similar symptoms such as flaking, redness, itching, soreness, lesions, and even hair loss.

Your skin changes over time. Stress, lifestyle decisions, and the sun can make it feel tired and rough, not to mention numerous skin conditions that can affect nearly all of us. That's why skin treatments are not ‘one size fits all.' If you have been struggling with skin issues, and creams and antibiotics aren't helpful - or if you can't tolerate side effects of medicine - you could consider treatments that are provided by professional dermatologists.

 

From general dermatology services to special laser procedures, there is a treatment that can significantly improve your skin. Some of the most popular skin conditions that can be successfully treated include acne, contact dermatitis, skin lupus, connective tissue diseases, genetic disorder, congenital skin problems, blistering diseases, and T-cell lymphoma, to name a few.

 

Several types of medical procedures - for example, light therapy and chemical peels - may be helpful. Moreover, acne bacteria can be killed with heat energy and pulsing light. Special treatments also shrink oil glands to decrease oil production.

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.

Dementia is a term used to describe many different conditions related to memory loss and cognitive skills. Brain cells become damaged and they can no longer communicate with each other, therefore the brain is not able to carry out its normal functions.

&nbsp;

The symptoms of Dementia vary greatly but in general it is the act of memory loss, difficulty in communication and language, visual perception, reasoning and judgment, and the ability to focus on a task and pay attention.

&nbsp;

A doctor will need to work hard to determine the exact type and cause of Dementia in a patient and in most cases it’s wise to see a specialist for treatments and care. There is no cure and it is a progressive disease that will get worse over time, it can, however, be monitored and the patient may find some temporary relief in treatment.
