If you are a regular runner or you have either started to do running, then there is no doubt someone at some point of time has said to you that running isn’t good for your knees, and by doing running, you will destroy your knees. It’s likely that the peoples who are giving advice were not a runner. The advice is typically based on the opinion that running raises the chances of developing osteoarthritis in your knees. But the truth is that it doesn’t. Therefore, many pieces of evidence say that the benefits of running overshadow the risk of developing

What is Lactobacillus Bulgaricus? Lactobacillus Bulgaricus (LBB) is a probiotic bacterium that is found in the gastrointestinal tract of people living in the countries of the Balkan Peninsula and especially in Bulgaria. The bacterium was first described in 1905 by the Bulgarian student Stamen Grigorov in a report presented at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. At the time, he was a medical student in Geneva. Stamen Grigorov studied the microflora of Bulgarian yogurt and found that the fermentation was due to a rod-shaped and a globular bacterium. Later, the rod-shaped bacterium was called Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, and the globular bacterium was

Market access is a process to ensure that the patients who are getting the benefits have rapid and fast access to their brand of choice, when needed, at the right price. This methodology is a way to fast-track new pharmaceutical technology to the market so that the patients who have signed up for the services can get them early on. Many people want to avail services that are ensured by market access, however, some of the modern-day limitations hinder the product manufactured to hit the shelves because its selling cost does not cover the cost of manufacture.

There was a study to determine contamination levels for computer keyboards in the average office setting. One keyboard had to be removed after testing because it was found to be five times dirtier than a toilet seat, home to 150 times the acceptable limit of bacteria, and was a health risk to its user.

There’s danger lurking around every corner every time you step outside your house.
Speeding cars, wild animals, sketchy people, etc.
And there are also a lot of dangerous things out there that you don’t even realize…
People on AskReddit spoke up about what is much more dangerous than most folks realize. Let’s see what they had to say.
“Tylenol.
It’s actually a lot easier to overdose on than most people realize, and it slowly destroys your liver over a period of days.
Not a fun way to d** to put it lightly.”
“Exploring abandoned places.
When I was a kid I would do it all the time and take photos without any form of facial protection. Fast forward years later and I learn about how toxic certain molds can be, how many older buildings used materials like asbestos which can be in the air when places are left to rot, etc. At this point I just thank God I never had to deal with the aftermath of any of that!
Also to anyone who enjoys doing this, I get it. I just want to bring awareness to the fact that if you participate a respirator and goggles should be a must!
Also as a side note, be wary of scrappers and individuals looking for a place to do drugs had a run in like that during one of the last excursions I made and it’s not fun.”
“Touch screen consoles in cars. Mazda now disables touch functionality in their vehicles because they found that when drivers interact with the touch screen they drift the vehicle to the right.
Taking your eyes off the road to press 3 buttons in three different positions on the touch screen, with a latency each time you press a button, because your seat heaters are literally burning your a**, while trying to maintain control of the vehicle during freeway traffic is God d**ned dangerous.”
“Deer.
Over 120 people a year d** from deer directly, and another 175 to 200 from car accidents caused by deer (with some 10,000 injuries), and more d**ths and injuries related to deer hunting. By the way, deer are pretty mean and terrible parents.
I have seen a deer push her fawn ahead of her near the food, to see if there is a predator, then, if the fawn is ok, go out and hit the fawn to get at the food herself.”
“Adam Savage has a good explanation about respecting workshop equipment. Last year, he had an accident with his lathe where it almost destroyed his hand.
Seeing him get emotional about not only the accident but also that he allowed it happen was quite sobering. I think he claimed that the brief lapse of judgement was almost akin to him putting too much trust into it and he felt like he didn’t respect it at that moment.”
“Horses. They weigh 1200 pounds, they’re extremely jittery, and they can crush you or kick you to d**th on accident.
And that’s just horses in general. Stallions will try to hurt you just to assert dominance. And these are animals that have been known to bite each other’s throats out when they fight.
Don’t mess with horses unless you know what you’re doing. Always be careful, even if you do.”
“Anything to do with the thyroid.
It’s a bit more well known nowadays, but when I first was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (they told me it was Hypothyroidism at first), I didn’t even know what the thyroid was.
For people who might not know, the thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland in your throat. Without getting into it too much, it releases hormones that regulate many things. You wouldn’t expect this tiny little organ to be so important, but holy c**p it is.
I found out I had thyroid issues when I was 15 after I was constantly tired, had irregular periods (I’ve gone two months without a period before), my weight was out of wack, my mental health was constantly declining, and I had issues with breathing among other symptoms.
Apparently if I hadn’t started taking thyroid medication when I did, I would’ve gone into a coma within 2 weeks.
It didn’t help that I had a dad who constantly made fun of my weight and appearance even after finding out I had thyroid issues and learning how hard it was for me to loose weight. Turns out, his two sisters had Hypothyroidism and his brother had Hyperthyroidism.
It took quite a few years to finally find hormonal balance and I’m 20 now, but I’m doing a lot better than I was before, physically and mentally.”
“Lack of exercise.
People think if they’re sedentary but just eat so little that they don’t get overweight, then they’re just as healthy.
Sadly, no. Simply being thin does not equate to being healthy.
100 calorie snacks are not saving your life, they’re nothing but another sales tactic. A way to sell you less for more.”
“Toxic relationships.
Far too many s**cides happen because of bad relationships and no other way out.”
“I live on the north coast of California.
People do not take seriously the signs that are posted on the beach regarding sneaker waves. If you are standing along the shoreline and not paying attention water can rush past on overtake you.
So when walking on the beach keep your head on a swivel and be mindful of the water.”
“I’ve heard enough horror stories from my parents who are both nurses to last me a lifetime.
Legs on the dash of a car are not allowed while I’m driving for this reason alone”
“Working to d**m much.
I know, it’s expected, you’re a lazy f**k if you don’t. It leads to not getting rest so your body can heal, a really f**ked social life (i.e. none), and just general stress, which suppresses your immune system, appetite, and even your heart.
Also, people that nag about you not working enough. Huge health risk, both to themselves and others. We aren’t ever gonna make them happy no matter what, so f**k em, let them freak out and have a heart attack.”
“Fights.
People are way too eager to prove who’s the bigger bada**. Hit someone the wrong way or start something with the wrong person and someone’s not going home. Then if the police show up, someone’s getting charged.
Depending on the severity of the other parties injuries and the word of witnesses, you could be going away for a very long time. Not to mention the civil suites that may bury you in debt.”
Now we want to hear from you.

Please and thank you!

Being in a coma or even being unconscious for a while has to be absolutely terrifying…when you finally wake up.
And that’s something you can never really understand unless you experience it yourself…and today we’re gonna find out what it’s really like.
AskReddit users who have been in comas talk about what they experienced.
Let’s see what they had to say.
“Brief 36 hour coma after a serious car accident when I was 16.
Absolutely no memories at all of my time in the coma. When I woke up, I was very confused for a number of days. The accident erased my memory of the month prior to the wreck.
Gradually (over the next year or so) those memories all came back up until the point I turned onto the road the accident happened on.”
“I don’t remember any dreams. I also don’t remember removing my IV needle – twice!!
Serious car accident when I was 9. My father sat in a rocking chair for 3 days waiting for me to open my eyes.
When I did I asked about a new friend my father didn’t know (she was in the car). He thought I’d lost it for sure.”
“I was in a medically induced coma for 7 days, and I don’t remember anything at all. The entire week is just pitch black. I was awake for about half a day before memories started to form.
The following few days I would have crazy hallucinations that felt more real than actual reality. The weird thing is that I still remember most of my hallucinations vividly, but I can barely recall anything that actually happened.”
“A couple years back I was only in a coma for two weeks, it wasn’t due to an accident or anything it was medically induced.
I did have a strange dream though, turned into a reoccurring nightmare for a little while afterwards, basically I had to climb up this black staircase that curved out of sight further up, as I started to climb water started pouring down the stairs making it difficult to go up it.
Eventually I’d hear noises behind me, sorta like heavy machinery but distorted to hell and back, that made me climb harder and faster but more water came down the stairs. As a kid it was absolutely terrifying. Couldn’t tell you what it meant but it still haunts me thinking about it. As for waking up though it wasn’t too bad, quite a shock sure, but honestly not too bad for me.
Weirdest thing that came from it all was how tired I felt, for weeks I couldn’t seem to get any energy. Definitely a 2/10 at best, LOL.”
“In coma for two weeks – lots of wild visions/experiences that were very religious in nature. Time went by quickly.
Was told I flatlined nine times and had to be resuscitated each time and remember (or dreamed?) hearing the steady beep of the heart monitor twice. Very confused when I came out of it.”
“I was in a two week coma after a h**oin overdose about a decade ago.
A couple of months after waking I was able to recall the days leading up to the incident vaguely. Naturally, there was just blackness and nothing once I had OD’d.
I then recall waking up while being intubated (f**king nightmarish experience), surrounded by nurses and doctors pinning me down by my limbs, bright lights, noise. Unable to scream. Unable to breathe. People yelling. Machines pinging. Then blackness.
After waking 13 days later, it was as if I’d awoken from a single night’s sleep with no dreams, no consciousness whatsoever. Just time-travelled basically. Took me a few hours to comprehend who and where I was. But I reckon I’d have been none the wiser if I had d**d that day.”
“I was out for a week when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
I remember very small bits and pieces, but not sure if they were from coma time or from the wake up process.
No concept of time, no consciousness, no dread, no pain. Just felt like being asleep for me.”
“I was in a medically induced coma for 6 days.
Iwas just about to turn 16 that month, we were out riding dirt bikes that night and I just so happened to run around a corner just at the exact moment my best buddy was riding his dirtbike around said corner going like 35mph or so, the dreams were insanely long, intense and I woke up thinking they all were real.
I freaked out and threatened to k**l everybody, because in one of my dreams I saw my mom get ripped limb from limb and I saw the people that did it, standing around my hospital bed smiling. They had to restrain me and put me back out, when I came to again i was more calm and my mom was trying to talk to me.
But I just wouldn’t look at her because I didn’t believe she was real because it felt so real watching her d** in that dream. I thought I only slept for a day at first until my dad told me it had been six days. In one of my dreams i got shot, when I was in the middle east somewhere fighting in the military, and he asked me if I knew why I was in the hospital, I said, “yeah…. I got shot”.”
“I’ve been in a coma twice, both after delivering my children.
During the first one, my boyfriend had driven me to the ER and as soon as I walked in the door I was out. At some point, before they moved me to a room, I could hear my mom asking if I was d**d. I wanted to yell out “I can hear you”….but I couldn’t.
I don’t remember anything after that. After the birth of my second child my boyfriend made them keep me an extra day because he didn’t want a repeat of the last time. They said I must have tried to get myself up because they found me on the floor between the bed and the door during rounds.
A couple of days before I woke up they sent me for a CT or MRI or something and I could feel them wheeling my bed down the hall and being agitated when the wheels ran over rough seams (like moving from the floor to the elevator) making the bed slightly shake.”
“It’s a slow processing coming out.
It isn’t like the movies where you just wake up and then go k**l some zombies. Even after just a few days of not moving at all, all of your muscles begin to deteriorate. They waste away to nothing very quickly. People who have been in a coma for longer than a few days often can’t even lift their head up.
They often have to relearn how to move and even talk or eat. It’s definitely not a restful situation. Also… There’s a reason they were in a coma and they still have to recover from that.”
“I was in a coma for a few days.
The dream I had I was just floating around in the dark having having a heart to heart with myself about what I did to wind up in that position.”
“I was in a coma due to a drug interaction after surgery.
I could hear everything my doctors and family were saying and was trying to communicate but couldn’t.
They finally gave me Narcan, which brought me back with it’s own special kind of hell.”
