HOW TO AVOID NECK PAIN WHILE USING A COMPUTER
Neck pain is discomfort or stiffness in the cervical region that can result from muscle strain, poor posture, injury, arthritis, or nerve compression. It may cause headaches, limited movement, or radiating pain to the shoulders and arms. Prolonged computer use, awkward sleeping positions, or stress often worsen symptoms. Treatment may include rest, stretching, physical therapy, and ergonomic adjustments to restore mobility and relieve discomfort.

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

SCIATICA - PART 2: EXERCISING WITH SCIATICA
Sciatica is nerve pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the legs. It often results from a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or muscle tightness. Symptoms include sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along one side of the body. It can worsen with sitting or movement. Treatment includes stretching, physical therapy, medications, and in severe cases, surgery. Early care helps relieve pain and prevent chronic nerv

This can cause rapid heartbeat, weight loss, anxiety, tremors, sweating, and heat intolerance. Common causes include Graves’ disease, thyroid nodules, or inflammation. Diagnosis involves blood tests and imaging. Treatment options include medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery to restore normal thyroid function and prevent complications like heart

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

FATTY LIVER - PART 1
Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, occurs when excess fat builds up in liver cells. It is often linked to obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, or heavy alcohol use. There are two main types: alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Most cases cause few symptoms but can progress to inflammation, fibrosis, or cirrhosis. Lifestyle changes such as weight loss, healthy diet, exercise, and limiting alcohol are key to reversing or managing the condition effectively.

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

DIABETES - PART 2: HbA1C
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder where the body cannot properly produce or use insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. This leads to elevated glucose levels, which can damage organs, nerves, and blood vessels over time. The main types are Type 1, caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells, and Type 2, linked to insulin resistance. Symptoms include thirst, fatigue, and frequent urination. Managing diet, exercise, and medication helps control b
