HEALTH AND BODY FLUIDS


HEALTH AND BODY FLUIDS


Some body fluids might make you gag, but these substances actually help us in fighting germs, preventing allergies, counteracting cavities, and many more. Here are some body fluids that actually keep you healthy:
Mucus
Mucus serves as the first line of defence in your nose and keeps your airways moist so that they can work properly, by trapping and killing bacteria, dust, pollen, and other airborne particles with the help of antibodies and enzymes. When an allergen invades and irritates your nose, the mucus-making membranes make extra mucus in order to remove out the uninvited guests.

Ear Wax
Ear wax protects and moisturizes the ear canal by trapping dust and bacteria to prevent them from entering and damaging our ear. Tests have shown that ear wax has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, so one must keep cotton swabs away from ears as the cotton could scratch the canal, or you might push more wax in than you remove, which could lead to an earache or even hearing disability.

Pus
Pus might look gross but its presence means that your infection fighters are working properly by engulfing something with the help of an anti-inflammatory or anti-bacterial. One must never pop a zit, which could spread the pus and can possibly cause more infection and scarring.

Eye Gunk
Eye discharge is amongst the body’s natural defence system to wash away irritants, and shedding of the cells that line the outside of the eyes. Normally our eyes tear at a slow rate to maintain lubrication, but when foreign matter invades into our eyes, some tear glands ramp up their output, forming eye discharge.

Sweat

The body functions best around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. When our internal mercury rises, we perspire; as the sweat evaporates off our skin, our body cools down. Amount of sweat pumped out from our body depends on the number of sweat glands we have, some people have 2 million, while others have up to 4 million.

Diarrhoea
Diarrhoea alerts us to food sensitivities and intolerances, such as to lactose. It is our body’s way of ejecting or removing out undesirables. Chronic diarrhoea usually signals a functional disorder,If diarrhoea lasts more than two days, you might have severe stomach or rectal pain, or if your stool contains blood or pus, kindly see your doctor.

Saliva
Saliva helps keep our teeth clean, moistens our mouth, facilitates swallowing, and contains enzymes that break down food and start the digestion process.

Water Blister
Water blisters act as natural bandages, as long as the blister stays intact, the injury beneath will heal on its own. Cover a small blister with a bandage and large one with a gauze pad; change the dressing once a day until the blister deflates away. If a blister needs to be drained or seems infected, see your doctor.

Urine
After our body extracts the nutrients from food, waste products are left behind in the blood. That’s where the kidneys start working by filtering urea, from our blood and uses it to produce urine. Peeing is a way our body eliminates waste and extra water from our body.

Vomit
Vomiting is just another way our body gets rid of things that irritate it, which often subsides within a day. To feel better while you wait, stay hydrated, avoid strong odours, and eat light foods. Sometimes vomiting is a symptom of something serious, the presence of blood could indicate ulcers, torn blood vessels, liver failure, or may be cancer. Contact your doctor if you’ve been vomiting longer than 24 hours, have symptoms of dehydration or if there's blood in your vomit.

Healthy weight for adults

Your risk of several diseases can increase either you weigh too much or too little. It is always a good idea to keep an eye on your weight just to make sure that you stay healthy.

 

Effect of weight on health

Whether you are overweight or obese, your risk of developing a whole range of health problems increases. These include conditions such as:
·         heart disease 
·         high blood pressure
·         asthma
·         osteoarthritis 
·         Cancer, etc.

On the other hand, being underweight is associated with conditions such as:
·         osteoporosis 
·         poor muscle strength
·         reduced immune function
·         fertility problems

Keeping to a healthy weight can help you reduce your chance of developing these health related problems.

What does a healthy weight mean?

The most common way of measuring your healthy weight for your height is to calculate your body mass index or BMI which is used to estimate if you have a healthy weight for your height.
You can work out your BMI using the BMI calculator.
BMI is classified as follows.
·         Less than 18.5 = underweight
·         18.5–24.9 = healthy weight
·         Over 40 = morbidly obese


BMI is related to your risk of various diseases, i.e., if your BMI increases, risk of getting various diseases increases.

Along with benefits, BMI comes with a few limitations as well:

BMI is not always very accurate in certain groups of people or because of other factors
·         Children’s weight change as they grow
·         Having a lot of muscle.


Body shape and waist circumference

Your fat storage body part indicates clearly risk to your health. For example, Storing fat around your abdomen is considered to be worse than storing it around your thighs and bottom.
Here’s how to measure your waist circumference properly.
·         Don’t pull the tape snug in.
·         Breathe out and measure your waist.

Low risk of health problems
·         men = less than 94cm
·         women = less than 80cm (31 inches)

High risk of health problems due to weight
·         men = 94–102cm


Very high risk of health problems

·         men = more than 102cm
·         more than 88cm

How to maintain a healthy weight

·         you lose weight if you use up more calories than you taking in
·         you'll maintain your weight if you keep your calories balanced by using and taking in calories at a definite rate.


Other factors are also taken into consideration: for instance, your genetic make, some medical conditions can also affect your weight.
Following points are worth thinking:
·         What you eat.
·         How much activity you do.



Hoping to see you in Barcelona.
Thanks and Regards.
