A troubling tanning trend has taken social media by storm and is putting the health of those who participate at risk, but it’s hardly surprising. Recent years have seen a rise of bizarre, unorthodox, and dangerous health and beauty trends. While they have occurred in the past, these trends have...
I was unaware I was autistic until I was an adult. In school, I never had accommodations because of the lack of that diagnosis. When I was discouraged about a certain assignment, I didn’t get help; I got motivation, and that can be good, but only to a point. I...
I was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 3, and ever since that day, I have had really bad anxiety about going somewhere without an inhaler. Once, as a child, I was in the car with my grandma, no inhaler, no nebulizer, and I started turning blue face and...
People often debate whether cardio or weightlifting is better for long-term health. Both forms of exercise help improve strength, durability, and burn tons of calories.
