"CROCS" - POSSIBLE LONG TERM IMPLICATIONS ON HEALTH
Crocs sandals are lightweight, slip-on footwear made from soft Croslite™ foam for comfort and cushioning. They provide ventilation and ease of wear, making them popular for casual use. However, their flexible design and limited arch or heel support may cause instability and strain with prolonged use. Best suited for short-term comfort, they should be worn in moderation to prevent long-term foot and posture issues.

PSORIASIS - PART 2: EXERCISING WITH PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing thick, red, scaly patches that can itch or hurt. It commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Flare-ups may be triggered by stress, infection, cold weather, or certain medications. Though not contagious, psoriasis is long-term and often cyclical. Treatment includes topical creams, light therapy, and medications that reduce inflammation and regulate the immune resp

OSTEOPOROSIS - PART 2: EXERCISING WITH OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It occurs when bone loss outpaces bone formation, reducing bone density. Common fractures occur in the hip, spine, and wrist. Risk factors include aging, menopause, hormonal changes, inactivity, poor diet, and genetics. Prevention and treatment focus on calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and medications to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk. Early detection helps maintain bone h

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) – PART 1
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This disrupts nerve communication, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, numbness, vision problems, and coordination loss. MS progresses differently for each person, with flare-ups and remissions. While there is no cure, treatments can reduce relapses, manage symptoms, and slow disease progression.

ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Atherosclerosis is a condition where fatty deposits, cholesterol, and other substances form plaque inside artery walls, causing them to narrow and harden. This restricts blood flow and increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. It develops slowly over time due to factors like high cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and poor diet. Lifestyle changes, medication, and medical procedures can help manage or prevent its progression and comp

GLP-1 - PART 3: THE "GOOD" AND THE "BAD"
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are medications that mimic the natural hormone GLP-1 to help regulate blood sugar levels. They work by stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon production, slowing stomach emptying, and promoting a feeling of fullness. Commonly used for type 2 diabetes and weight management, GLP-1 agonists improve blood glucose control while supporting weight loss. Examples include semaglutide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide, administered by inject
